means he ran them off. They vent into the thicket just below the bridge where the old panther remained all night venting her rage in frightful screams. They set up all night guard ing their outfit Then Mrs Volpert told about hearing {. panther scream out in the woods last summer and about someone else having seen it She also tod about one coming to iiie house inside the yard once. Then AIr Volpert told about some hunters going into camp highed up on the Big Maumelle; all but one went out to ltunt, and he lay down on the ground little while and found himself cover ed up with leaves. He knew some var mint did it and decided to surprise it. He got a log abous his size and put it in his place and covered it over with the leaves. Then he got behind {. clump of bushes with his gun and awaited the return of the animal In just a little while an old panther came up with two cubs and placed one on either side to watch her and learn how to kill a man. Then she jumped at the pile of leaves and feet. When she felt the log she gave a scream of disappointment for she realized she was trapped. The man shot her at once.

FINE FRUIT.


 Adam yolpert. who lives in the Maumeile Valley near the hardwood mill, probably raises the finest pears m Pulaski county. I wanted to see them so I rambled down that way last week Almost the first thing he told me was that he was saving one bunch of them for me to see. I went with him to his orchard and there I saw the biggest bunch of pears eight ful1-grown pears in the, bunch tt start with, but one began to rot snd he knocked it off leaving only fuikgrown ones in the bunch. On the same tree near it was another bunch of six pears. He sold eight t1sllels off the tree on which these two punches are on. He received S22a busheI for them or total uf eighteen dollars He could have E0iten double that for them but he coes not believe in charging his reighbors fancy prices for his stuff

Continued from last week.)

At night I got to J. L. Venables where I remained over until Monday MT. Venable is from the Big Mau melle country at the Narrows, which is just back of the Fourche River timber camp and is the terminus now of the Fourche River Valley and In Gian Territory Railway Mrs. Vena- hle was a sister of the McCormicks MT. Venable has ffty-two descend ants. His son, Joe Venable, who was born there, lives with him and culti yates about 200<acres of the farm, while a brother Lloyd, runs 200 acres of it across the Bayou. They are di- versified farmers.
 The cotton crop I found to be best fIcm the Laster plantation down to anG including the north edge of lief fe1son county and up to and includ- ing the Venable plantation The Wayne place and on up to and ln- ciuding Scotts the crop was very short. One place in this section, G. R. Cagle's, is an exception and he will make over half bale, spots on it will make bale. Cotton was sell ing as high as thirtv-seven cents in England Picking was around one dollar and half, some were paying dollar and quarter. On either of the Faver farms and their vicinity pjckers were wanted. All the country I was in was just a vast cotton field with but little of anything else. Most farmers will have to buy their feel for next year again.
 On my first trip baby Jo was tiny little girl That was two years ago end her brothers call her Kid 10 now The three oldest are boys. They at tend school at England m an auto and of evenings and Saturdays they are gathering their cotton crop for they have crop of their own. The hoys are Lloyd, thirteen. and the old est, will weight I should judge over 150 pounds and is a fair specimen of the crops. The other two boys are Marvin and Ward and the girls are Gladys, Myrtle, Bessie Joe, and q tiny laughing growing baby named Penny. The oldest was a boy but is dead. There are fine thoroughbred logs and cattle as we'll as the work mules. A small strip next the bayou has been fenced and put in Bermuda and Lespidesa for q pasture. There is burr clover and alfalfa on the Ilace More land Is being sowed down to alfalfa and the raising of cattle will be extended.
 There is 9 hog house with a con crete floor and the hogs are still be. ing fed on old corn. The family also still have the finest of country cured ham for home eating There is an orchard of peach, apple, apricot, cher " and other trees. There are some budded and Texas oceans which take

 Exceptional Honesty.
 On my trip 10 the Arkansas River Valley last week I saw indications Of honesty which surprised me. All along the roads were trees loaded with oceans. Some of the limbs reach ed within eighteen inches of the ground right out in the road with their burdens of ripe oceans and you could not miss a pecan off them notwithstanding I had met darkies of Of all sizes and ages who had just travelled the road and the day be- fore was Sunday also. Up in the hills amongst most white people youehave to even watch your orchards or some one will gather your fruit. We have all heard the little jingle:
 Some folks say rigger won't steal.
 But I caught one in my cornfieId, Away down in old Mobile.
 We'll, it looks like we will have to revise that song.
 Honest White Folks.
 But there are honest white folks also. I lost my pocketbook awhile lack on my way home from Little Rock and never expected to even hear of it again. Incidentally, while huying ticket at he Tenth street Station of Verne IcLaughlind, men ever he came to the door and com. menced asking me questions about it. was very much surprised at his curiosity. Just as wes becoming an noyed at his questions he finished and informed me that he had it and gave it to me. I took a five-dollar bill out of it and offered it to him, but he refused it. Said if he had wanted five dollars for finding it he would have kept the pocket-book and all that was in it.
 It Rains Again.
 The people were complaining about the lack of rain, so I brought them home another gooG one Saturday night Having done my duty by them can now resume my rambling. IL is my intention to r amble pretty steadily from now on, and I intend 10 keep in the Jacksonville territory and the northeast part of the county until I get over 1t. Don't become dis couraged, but have the money ready for me when I call If do not find you at home. will leave an address cd envelope and statement of your account.

Cecil Venable has one Of the finest Indian relics I have ever seen. It is of the color and of as good polish as if it was made of hard rubber H. stead of black rock. It has a blade about five inches iong by four wide. It is all of the same thickness and about one-half inch thick. It is shap- ed like a hatchet MT Venable thinks it q skinning knife I am inclined to think it 6 tool used for smoothing tteir clay pottery, or else it is celt knife for cleaning hides with.
 Mrs. Venable is fine cook and housekeeper. When I was here be- fore she had eolored cook, but now even in case of sickness no such lux ury can be had, the only help to he obtained in an emergency is to get some relative to leave her work and come. It is the same way with Mr Venable He only succeeding in ge-- ting a hired man for one day and but for his boys would have lost his crop Of course he has the most Of his land cultivated by share croppers, but it he could get the help he would raise a greater variety on his part of the land and better stuff, too.

premium at the fairs. Along the hayou about the house is a good sized orchard of native pecan trees. An are loaded down with oceans and as they sell for fifty cents pound it's the best crop they have. Peanuts, velvet beans, wheat, etc. are regular crops on this place. The cotton is gcod this year, but the corn IS shors There are plenty of wells of the bess water and good, comfortable houses.
 Taxes are so many and so high on this land that the owners might sell for that reason in the course of time. but for no other. Taxes charged against it almost equal it's value. There is a road and levee tax of about fifty cents an acre for each, then there is a school tax and others.
 There is a school house on the up- per end of the plantation, next the Wayne plantation, but no school. It is a good cypress building, ceiled inside with pine. There is a good li- brary, charts, globes, desks, etc, all going to waste, the door being broken t.cwn. Formerly here was nine- month school, and there will be four months this year It is and has been a special district since 1917 and the taxes have been increased. There are ten schools in the district. I un- derstand that the white schools are neglected, because the floating class Of population prefer to keep thetr children at work to sending them to school and if there is no school then O. course no one can make the ehil- G1en go to school.

LIGHT COMPANY
COAL RESERVES
GOOD z MONTHS
Purchase Of 1900 Tons, Costing
$4,000 IRsures Against Coal
Strike Rigor.

Rock Island and the surrounding
tri-city community will be protect
ed against the threatened coal mia
ers' strike on Oct. 81 for at least
two months as far as electric
power is concerned. President Den
man OF the Tri-City Railway Il
Light company announces.
Through an expenditure of more
than $4,000. the Moline-Rock Is
land Manufacturing company has
ordered a reserve coal supply to
reach here before the date Of the
threatened strike Of the coal min
ers.
An extra reserve OF $4,000 tons
has been provided for, a heavier
reserve than the power company
has ever carried before. When one
considers that $4,000 tons of coal
run approximately $50, 900, It is
easily seen what an amount has
been tied up in assuring the fuel
supply here against any contingent
cies which may arise If the strike
does occur as planned.
Costs Company 81 Ton.
The coal costs the company ap-
proximately $3.50 a ton at the
mines, which with a freight charge
OF $1.60 a ton for delivery in the
power company's yards, brings It
over 81 a ton.
The reserve will last at least six
weeks and may be sufficient to run
the big plant for 10 weeks without
additional fuel. 1t is expected,
however, that additional shipments
can be secured from various
sources even il the strike does take
place.
