COVE CATCHES.

$. X. Dickerson and wife of Br0- ken Bow. Ok, visited friends here last Monday
 The attendance of the Cove High school is greater than ever before, five of the students being on the tu- ition list.
 AsJ. Mcdonald, aged 63 years, died at his home here October i2, and was buried with Masonic honors in the family graveyard at Pleasant Hill The deceased was an old set tier and had been in poor health for several years.
 Mrs. L. II Bailey received mes sage iaSt -unuay xtuItfrE riidt fer brother. J. H. Mcdaniel. had died at Decatur Tex, and she left on the afternoon train to attend the fune- ral. Harvey McDaniel was well known in Polk county.
 The box supper at the town hall Friday night for the benefit of the <. l. A. was a great success and net ted the association the handsome sum of S3250 A pleasing program of musical and literary numbers preceded the sale of boxes, and G. c. Golf acted as auctioneef. He made a humdinger, too.
 We all know now why the young men of Cove have such a reputation for being bashful. One young fell low bought a box at the box supper the otlier night and instead of hunt ing up the young lady whose card was in it, he hopped out of window and made for the brush. The young lady is still wondering who got her box.
 Cove is about the cIeanest little town in the country. but there is still room for improvement. The business men have cleaned up the front and back parts of their stores fairly we'll, but the streets i'll some parts of the residence districts are still eluttered up with unsightly piles Of rubbish of every descrip- ton. An hours work with a rake and the flash of a match would make wonderful improvement. Of course people are supposed to clean up i'll the sprlng. but it is pretty good idea as well as q good invest- ment to keep clean all of the time.
 One of the most interesting sights ever witnesses in Cove may be seen ai the Bank of Cove. It is a group of seven large purple stalks of Louisiana cane, all grown from one button or joint. and which was brought in by D. l.. Wise, the we'll known farmer, living four miles southwest of town. Mir. Wise has grown about half an acre of the cane, and he is going to save most of the crop for planting purposes,
 He is convinced that the seedless ribbon cane can be successfully grown in Arkansas, and that an acre of it will produce about i00 gallons of syrup If this turns out to he a fact it will be good by to seeded rib bon and sorghum cane.
