AbC4 lAltNAl IIdyHiG 6dfC lAC q DiCtG Ot a shell from the big gun he helped to fire in France. He was a blacksmith lin the army and worked generally at shoeing mules instead of at the kill ing business. He was an expert workman and frequently had to weld and make repairs on airplanes Al the Easter tree, at Central School house, a small bottle full of milk, with a rubber nipple on it was put on the tree for him, thus indicating that he was mammals boy. Instead of go ing to the city and receiving big pay he is staying at home helping his parents farm. It is a pity there are not more such mamma boys. Some of these days some girl will recog- nize the fact that such boys make the best of husbands and will proceed to take possession of him. There is also a sister at home nearly grown, besides smaller children.
 One day young fellow came along by where Mrs. J. T. Haynie was wash ing with an oldfashioned walking cane made of a hickory sprout and gave it to her It was apparently just like any other hickory can except that just below the turn of the handle was a brass band For a long time she used it as a clothes stick to stir clothes in the boiling pot One day one of the children had the crook around his neck, when the handle pulled loose, exposing as fine three cornered sword as one could wish to see. It was of bright shining steel without a speck of rust on it. Such swords are rare in this country, though we often read of sword canes novels. In France they now sell for $1.50 each.
 With this week commence work ing on the south side of the river and shall visit all sections at once.
 Estella Cook gave me the best tom ahawk I have yet received and a sea shell from White River Her sister, Dorcas. gave me an arrow and her brother, Wesley, gave me natural round pebble, which the Indians eYi- dently used as a ball Barney Bran non gave me three rare pink crystals 1 have been searching for over three years for a red crystal without sue cess. The first person to give me one will get big credit in the con- test for same. Fred Mitchell and Barney Brannon each gave me an Indian arrowhead.
 The Fruit Is Killed.
 I was at the Ark-wa mines and oil well headquarters when it turned so cold, suddenly, week ago last Sun day As soon as it thawed out I be- gan to look for fruit that was not killed. The only thing I saw alive was a few plums at Boards on top of the big hill near the mine Jim Beall thought at first his pears were not killed, but a later examination showed that all were black at the heart, though they looked as Ii they had escaped from outside appear ances. This condition will cause q good many people to say their fruit lis not killed. but aside from apples and few plums about all tree fruit has been killed There will be some berries. but it is too early to say how many Blackberry winter is yet to come and it may get the berries. Present indications are that there will be strawberries. and if you want to can fruit don't fail to get in your orders early for them.
 Floyd Webb gave me an Indian bead, arrow and rare rock with hole in it in which was lodged a small white pebble. H c. Brothers gave me wild boars tusk eight and one ->-------~-------~--~----
