M. A. WOOLLY.

On Tuesday morning, January H.
the angel of death took away one of
cur best and most respected citizens
Martin Alfred Woolly. He came here
only three years ago, but because of
his quiet, unassuming life, noble
character and dealings in general
with his fellow men, he at once gain
ed the respect and admiration of all
who came in touch with him.
Alfred Woolly was born near
Greenbrier, in Faulkner county, Ark,
August 6, 1858, having lived there
until three years ago, when he came
here to look after the farming inter
ests and other affairs which he had
in this part of the country
In January, 1888, he was married
to Mary Caroline Blessing. They
lived happily together for eight years
until her death. Mr. Woolly never
married again. He reared his chill
dren himself, making many beautiful
sacrifices for them-they being his
only idols,
He was interested in education and
good citizenship. He taught his chill
dren by his own fireside, toiled dill
gently, and managed economically
that they might be kept in school. He
was man of high ideals and noble
aspirations. We will miss him. We
regret very much to lose him from
our citizenship.
He is survived by one son and one
daughter-W. w. Woolly of Lula
who attended Hendrix College at
Conway, Ark, for several years, and
Mrs. Alice Hendrickson of Bartles-
vile, Okla, his younger daughter
Efiie Myrtle Woolly, having died at
Central Baptist College, Conway
Ark, in 1906, while a student in that
institution. He also leaves one broth
err, j. A. Woolly, Sr., of this place.
He was laid away here Friday aft
ernoon with Odd Fellow honors
lodges from Lula, Tupelo and Stone
wall taking part The end was un
expected, he being sick only few
days with la grippe, which turned in
to pneumonia. 1t came as quite {
shock, even to the family he being
otherwise in a remarkable good state
of health-Stonewall (Okla) News.

VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT.

Much has been said about rural
Improvement but there is room for
considerable change in the conditions
of our small towns and villages. Why
not get ready now for great clean
up campaign sometime in February
or March? Too many village streets
are worse than the country roads.
Why not grade and drag these
streets, improve the drainage, put in
crossings and sidewalks, haul out the
tin cans and rubbish, clean out the
alleys and back yards, fence in the
pigs and chickens, plant trees along
the streets, different kind of tree
for each street, fix up wide parkings
and set to Bermuda or bluegrass, and
then most important of all, look after
the outhouses, the greatest disease
breeding factor in our small towns.
Haul off the manure from the stables
before the first of March, provide air
tight boxes and use lime or treat with
powdered boraX at rate of one pound
per 16 cubic feet. The unsanitary
privies in the villages and small
towns is the cause of more deaths
than tuberculosis. Why not have
this slogan for the village and small
err towns: Let US make this good
town to live in" Those who want

shrubs to plant may write the Horti-

SHELTER THE COW.

The milk COW is a delicate machine
for the production of food. She util-
ICES her food both for heat and for
milk but she will use it for heat first.
Cows in Arkansas do not need close,
air-tight stables, but it is not profit
able to let the mshiver in a cold rain.
A dry shed, however crude and cheap,
will pay good return to any farmer.
Then the milk COW must have milk

bean hay, peanut hay, clover, alfalfa
or little cottonseed meal, and she
will give more milk for the children
