Usually there is nothing about such people to cause any observing and experienced man to be otherwise than proud to miss forming their acquaint- ance.
 l People around Wye still talk about H D. Fowler, the first superintendent of the Fourche River railway, as be- ing the best manager the road ever had, and the only man who ever was able to keep enough logs at the big mills to keep them going. When he left the company, he left 100000 feet of logs in the mill yard. He was also very popular. They own a farm near here, and was fortunate to meet Mrs. Fowler out to visit it. She is living in Little Rock to school her little girle at present but has just returned from Shreveport, La, where MT. Fowler has position as civil en- gineer for a big oil company. When school is out she will rejoin him in 1 Oklahoma or Texas, where he will be located in the same business. He is doing we'll in the oil well business. The farm is near Mabelvale. I have failed to state that all my work, this week, was on R. F. D. No. 3, Little Rock and along Fourche bayou. found steps over the Fowler field fence as I left the farm in the shade of the finest holly tree ever saw. It was about fifteen inches in diameter with a body about high enough to permit me to stand up under the finest top have ever seen on a holly. The body was also perfect.
 Charles w. Jones, near Mabelvale, has two poplar trees in his yard. One of them has flourished like cot tonwoo din the Brazos bottoms Each year it is full of blooms The other is growing about like an ordinary tree The blossoms are of a yellow ish color and scarlet on the inside The bees swarm in it when in bloom. When I was about two years old, on the farm where 1 was born in old Kentucky, I can well remember mak- ing my father stop the buggy and get out and club the tall poplar tree until he secured enough of the blooms to satisfy my desire, and then as he drove along I licked the honey off the inside of the flowers. The poplar tree is sometimse sold for a tulip tree, and these trees were bought for mag nolias. The tulip tree is a member of the magnolia family
 Red Hogs.
 All through this section of country have seen the finest-looking red hogs I ever saw. To see a big red SOW with eight or nine pigs alongside the road is a common sight. The peo- pie are engaged principally in the 7 dairy business and the refuse, of course, is great for hogs. Milk is sell ing at wholesale by the dairymen de- livered to hotels for 50 cents gallon. It is sold at retail as high as 90 cents a gallon and the large dairies buy and collect it at the farmers home for 40 cents a gallon, which many farmers claim is more profitable than delivering it for twice the amount. A Fine Hiding Place for Snake.
 MT. R. L. Edgeworth one day saw a small viper about eighteen inches long, which he decided to kill by stamping it to death. He set his heel down on it hard, when it disappeared. Being unable to locate it he decided it had crawled into hole. After proceeding half mile on his way home he felt something on his foot and, looking down, saw the snake crawling out of his pant leg. He was too badly fright ened to attempt to kill it again, and the snake, being scared worse than he, got away by running through a wire fence.
 Mrs. Edgeworth is a cousin of David o. Dodd, the famous martyr spy of the Confectionery, who was hung in Little Rock by the Federal command CT, General Steele, January &, 1864. He was born November 10 1S46, and was only little over IT years of age. He had been student at the old St. Johns College and was hanged in the college grounds. His was one of the geratest acts of heroism of the civil war The general probably did not want to hang him and offered him his freedom if he would tell who furnished him his information, but he steadfastly refused, though the general was cer- tain that being only boy he would tell before hanging. The old men and women of Little Rock besieged his headquarters for days trying to get
