Murder F FolIows Quarrel;
George Gipson Shot

LOUIS j, DAVIS shot George Glpson
through the heart killing him instantly
as the result of quarrel between the
pair, who were working on dwelling
at Neame. The shooting took place
Saturday last, and as a result, Louis
J. Davis is in the Parish Jail at Lees
vile. He made no effort to escape
and Sheriff Jones took him into Gus
tody without resistance.
The men were working together on
building. Davis, who is a painter, is
much smaller than Gipson, who was
a plumber. The cause of the quarrel
was not made known, but it was re-
ported that the men had had some
words. Davis story is that Gipson
struck him in the head with an axe
and threatened him with a shovel.
Davis says he fired in self-defense, his
bullet striking Gipson in the heart,
coming out through the back at a
point fully foot further down, indi-
eating that Glpson was IN STOPPING
position. Davis is said to have fired
two more shots at the PROSTATE man,
but NEITHER of them took effect.
1t is said that the original trouble
between Davis and Gipson dates back
some two weeks. However, they had
continued working together at their re-
spective trades until Saturday. On
that day the old fued was renewed.
One story is that the quarrel in the
morning resulted in Davis arming him
self. He claims that he said to Gipson
that he wished to settle the trouble
peaceably, but that Gipson made
threatening motions with the shovel,
meanwhile advancing on Davis. Davis
claims Gipson struck him with an axe
during the forenoon. and was the rea-
son why he secured the gun.
Davis will be held until the fail term
of court.

SUMMER HERE BUT
RAINS CONTINUE

Altho summer has begun according
to the almanac, the weather continues
to be more like winter weather than
anything else. 1t has been cloudy most
of the past week and rain has fallen
on an average Of every day. This is
record for June. Last year there
were but two rains in June.
All of the farmers in the country are
beginning to think it will be wise to
start raising fish. bull frogs. or ducks
for market instead of trying to put in
cotton, corn, sweet potatoes, or sim
liar crops.
The record for the week ending June

BETTER CARE OF SHEEP PAYS

BETTER FCAKE OF SHEEP PAYS
Seven farm sheep demonstrations
were held last year in Missouri-fock
owners cooperating with sheep special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture and the State agricuL
tural soa9ge-the results Of which,
among other things, showed that it
pays to give sheep proper care. In two
of the demonstrations. where grade an
imals were kept. one flock produced
1903 per cent of lambs, which means
that some Of the ewes had twin lambs,
while the other flock produced only
So per cent of lambs were too weak
at birth to be saved. The wool from
the first flock was sold at &c cents
pound, while the wool from the second
flock brought "a cents a pound. The
cost of feed of the first flock amounted
to sos for each animal, while the
sheep of the second flock were fed at
cost Of l.34 each. The total cost, in
the first flock amounted TO 8.36 head
as compared to $257 for the second
flock. But the net profit head-the
point which is most important to all
sheep rails RS was $5.74 in the first
flock as compared to $2.22 in the sec
ond flock, and the net return on the in
vestment amounted to 2l.7796 in the
first flock as compared to l5.2396 in
the second flock.
