WILMOT.

Death has brought the bitter cup of
sorrow to the lips of friends and rela-
tIves of Mrs. James /. Wilmot who
died Friday. Feb. 81 at 1870 o'clock.
Mrs. Wilmot was born June Sth 1864
and married James Wilmot Feb. lst..
1888. To them nine children were
born, five daughters and four sons all
of whom survive her. They are Misses
Wayne. Margaret. Lille, Lucy and
Catherine, Messrs. James Jr., Ben.
Bryan and CLYDE WilmOt.
To her the struggles and burden
bearing of earth are ended, and she
has awakened to see life's endless
morning break and know herself in the
home eternal.
Mrs. Wilmot had only been sick
short time and all the care and love
that skilled physicians and an anxious
household could devise and apply for
her comfort were resorted to, but the
fiat of Him who rules our lives had
been issued and after brief struggle,
despite the prayers and entreates Of
her loved ones she fell asleep and all
that was mortal was laid to rest in the
Stanford cemetery Sunday. Heartfelt
sympathy is felt by every one for the
children. but We know that years hence
the memory Of her unselfsh devotion
will make them better men and women
and her precept and example will be
their guiding star. Much sympathy is
also expressed for the devoted husband,
upon whom the hand of aiilicton has
been laid so often of late, having buried
two sister and wife in less than two
months, but may he look forward with
the eye of faith to that brighter future
where this temporary separation will
end in an eternal reunion.

"a handsome couple" was the YER
dict of Sudbury folk who saw Tom
Haynes and Mabel Vickers riding to-
gether.
They would dash through the vii
Iage and over the downs, Mabel upon
her big black horse, Tom beside her
on his chestnut, helter-skelter, the
animals wild with excitement, until
they reached the edge of Close Hill
gap. Then they would pull rein and
sit gazing down on the scene below.
From Close Hill gap one could see
for miles across the level country.
1t was a famous country and both
Toms and Mabel's ancestors had
had share in the making of it. That
was why, when the villagers of Sud
bury spoke of them as a handsome
couple there rose into their minds
vision of the match they would
make.
Tom was a young lawyer of Sud
bury and had lately succeeded to his
fathers law business. MabePs folks
had been squires once and were still
the social leaders of the town. In
contrast with her younger sister,
Nora, who loved nothing better than
a book, Mabel was a dashing horse
woman.
She had persuaded Tom to take up
riding after their engagement, and
they rode every afternoon, much to
the discredit of Toms business. Still,
clients will forgive a good deal in a
man who is going to get married.
Their marriage was only two
months away when the accident hap
pened. MabeTs horse bolted and she
was flung to the ground. Tom, rid
ing hot after her, pitched over his
horses head down the ACTIVITY of
Close Hill gap.
It was a clear drop of 400 feet, but

meath the waist. She went away and
did not return.
1t was Nora who came to see Tom
a week later. Nora and Tom had al
ways been great friends. The girl
was 20, though she had only recently
put up her hair in knot. She was

A sprayInu Manuar.

Arkansas has a reputation for good
 apples and peaches, but if our or. chardists do not study the art and science of spraying with good deal more zeal our reputation will be lost, Oregon apples are sold in Little Rock
 at higher price than Arkansas ap- ples and four stores in Arkansas cities keep Oregon and Washington apples to every one that handles Arkansas apples. The Extension Division of the University of Arkansas has just put out a remarkable spraying manual that is different from any other ever published. It enumerates the pests and diseases on fruit, vegetables and berries and states the spray to be used. The manual was prepared by Professors Hewitt, Wicks, Becker and
 Heard of the departments of Plant Pathology, Horticulture and EntomoI- ogy of the Arkansas College of Agri- culture. It is manual for the busy orchardist and gardner. It will be sent free on application to the Exten- sion Division, University of Arkansas.

sUPREME COURT ACT ON MAJ vERN's DRASTIC CITY OR
 DlNANCE.
ORDINANCE WAS TO REGULATE
Court Holds, However, That Act Sup. pressed Them together-AnnuaI License of $500 and $1 ,ooO Bond
 Required to Operate Rooms.
Little Rock.

The drastic pool room ordinance passed by the Malvern City Council recently was declared null and void by the supreme court The ordinance required operators of pool halls to pay an annual license of $500 and give a $1,000 bond to obey every proyis on of the ordinance. It also required pro- prietors of billiard halls to keep a record of every player and to sign a register to be kept for that purpose. The opinion handed down by the SUI preme court stated that the ordinance, while supposed to regulate billiard halls, in fact suppressed them alto gether. It further held that if it did not operate to suppress them, it was a revenue measure, and that the ordi- nance was void on either theory

The Aero Club will contribute $40 toward the incl dental expenses of each officer accept ing the offer The letter asked Gov ernor Hays to recommend some off cer in the Arkansas National Guard. The governor will confer with staff officers of the guard relative to the letter It is improbable any officer will accept. as there is no money available for paying his expenses at the scnool and the state has no aero plane equipment

ST. FRANCIS DISTRICT SPENT ON " $e,ooo FOR EXTRA
 WORK.
BOARD MEMBERS PLEASED
Floods in 1e12-1e13 Cost Them $2oo,- 900 and Levee Broke-Two Dozen Outfits to Resume Work With
 in Next Three Weeks.
Forrest City,

OllSSI OIty.-- . The St. Francis levee board spent only $8,000 in patrolling and inspect ing it's great system and taking pre- cautionary measures at places where there was the slightest chance of a break during the Mississippi River flood, now receding, according to H. N. Pharr, chief engineer of the board. s Tn 1912 and 1913 the leyee board spent total of $2O0,000, and still there was break. The board mem bers are highly gratified over the |. firmness with which the barriers with stood the high water this year.
 We have just got through settling up accounts against us for the extra inspectors and laborers and day and night watchmen,' MT. Pharr said. We spent only about S8,000, against $100,000 each in 1912 and 1913, and we have large number of sacks left for future use. We feel pretty good over it."
 With the recession of the flood wa. ters a dozen or more levee outfits will prepare to go back to work, MT. Pharr said. The river has not fallen quite enough, but at least dozen outfits, about 500 teams, will get back on duty within two or three weeks, providing there are no inces- sant rains in that time.
 These outfits will work in the high CT sections of the levee. MT. Pharr expects rise during June or there abouts, but it will not be as high as the flood just past. After that time at least 12 more levee outfits will be put to work on the lower end sec tions. eyl
 There were 23 or "A outfits at work when the recent rise came. Some had time to finish and have moved to the White and Red rivers.

Task confronts Farm Agents.

Few states in the South and no state in the north can equal Arkansas in the number of county agricultural agents now at work, as this state has 55 of these men employed in 50 of 75 counties. It is impossible to esti- mate in dollars and cents what these men are worth to the agriculture of Arkansas. One farmer said recently that the agent in his county had been worth in one year to his county not less than a quarter million dollars
 The duty of faithful county agricul- tural agent are numerous, and he ney- CT can guess on Monday morning the variety of his problems for the week.
