he brought back from the Alabama Georgia line on his recent visit. All of these specimens are to be credited to Floyd Webb, which will start him of off with about 2,710 I am very anxious to secure all the hog tusks possible for an exhibit at the com munity fairs this fall Mrs. Snow, who gave her brother a mater to the Brothers hog tusk, has promised to secure it for me.
 At Floyd Hefflington's home at Ark-wa mines headquarters, while Mrs. Hefflington's father, J. R. Boln, was returning from the field he saw a tree struck by lightning. Rushing to the house he found part of them unconscious, but all soon recovered There was nothing to be seen, but a big flash of flames bursting from the root of the tree. The lightning then followed wire fence about 100 yards, where it tore a big hole in the ground and struck the roots of a nick ory tree. The only injury it did the fence was to draw few of the sta pies.
 w. H. Adkins has the largest and finest-looking black haw tree I ever saw. It has a beautiful and perfectly rounded top and the trunk is also per feet and about eight inches in di- ameter
 Mir. Haynie, the onlp child, has the last letter his father wrote before the battle of Corinth, where he is sup posed to have been killed. It was dated April 18th and spoke very ten derly of his baby boy
 On Friday. about 12:30, Mrs. Haynie heard a peculiar explosion in their pasture. The horses came running to the barn, badly frightened, and great cloud of trash was blown into the air MT. Haynie was called to the door. and says he could smell dynamite, but Mrs. Haynie thought it was gas ex- plosion.
 In showing me their old relics, Mrs. Haynie got out the family Bible to show me the birth records in it dat ing back to the 1700s In looking through it I found pair of scissors. which had been lost some twelve months ago, which shows that the Bi- ble is being carefully preserved as a relic. Many other people take just as good care of their ordinary Bibles.
 l spent one night with the Bran mons of Central School community last week. The next morning they re- marked that the two kids. Ye1ma and Barney, were F years old that day. Then went to H. Boards, and Liefer Boards grandmother boasted that she had the finest 12-year-ola grandson in the State. She said he never did nothing but grow and weighs 160 pounds. That is not ex- actly correct for he does a mans work with mans intelligence. Some of MT Boards neighbors think he is very no account, because he is a good electrician and is content to farm instead of going to the city and draw ing the big pay offered him. He thinks, though he has already wasted too much time in town, and both he and his wife are we'll satisfied with their little forty-acEe home on the mountain top. He raised enough corn last year to feed his stock and fatten his hogs and still has corn in the crib; also he has a tool chest full of as nicelooking hams and bacon as one could wish to see Mr Beard is a city man, who is making a success on the farm. The city is not entitled to the credit, though, because both he and his wife were born and raised in Saline County, after which they moved to San Antonio, Texas, where he learned and worked at his trade until the hunger for old Arkansas be- came too great about two years ago.
 When l arrived at c. B. Beall''s late Friday evening he was just finishing sowing another patch of Redtop meadow. He has been raising it sue cessfully for seven years, and at ev- cry opportunity he sows an additional patch on ground too wet for anything else. It makes the finest of hay and accounts for his success as a stock raiser. When sown in the fall it can be cut for hay the next year twice. It takes twenty pounds of seed for an acre. The ground should be plowed, narrowed and dragged or rolled, then the seed sown and left for the rains to beat into the ground. If narrowed in they will not come up to stand If the stand is not good enough let
