Having just about finished with gathering cotton we are well into the harvest of coon, possum, skunk and mink hides. It looks like small thing, but We dare say that the money received from this source in season runs well into dollars. One item oi profit in the business not to be over looked is the fun the boys have in catching them. In one county in Ar kansas it is said that good coon dog sells for more than the price of a horse

Blytheville, Arkansas, has a boom story that is stranger than oil. Friends of King Cotton can look upon Blythe vile for vindication. The warehouse and compress in that town has this year received more than S0,00O bales of cotton, 50,000 bales of which is To- cal. It is said that for two years that territory has made 200 per cent of a normal crop and that the town re- sembles an oil town in boom times. Far be it from us to throw wrench in the machinery, but We hope that the day will not come when the boil
 weeyil comes horning in on the scene.

The News congratulates the c. M. E colored Methodist church of Ash dawn, for the spirit of taking hold of big job in entertaining an annual conference of their church.

Some editors don't mind talking about folks. It was the Arkansas Democrat that said many duck hunt CT would wade in ice water all day up to his neck and then lay in bed in the morning while his wife got up and made the fires. A man who would work and undergo hardships like that to get meat for his family ought to have a little waiting on. If anyone has our heartfelt sympathy it is a hard working hunter or fisher man.

B0HLES.C0UlTER AU nhNA MILAN OF AsHD0WN, AE8,

As we, the mothers and citizens ol Little River county, have been led to believe from our knowledge of the kan, that you can see that the law is enforced; as the county officers o>j not think it their duty to stop this kind of uncivil work which We are asking you to do. We want to ask you to kindly stop the squirrel and ducr hunting which is being carried Gn in Little River bottoms every Sunday. It has got to be very common occur ence for people from AshdoWn, White Cliffs and other neighboring communi- ties to go hunting on Sunday just as if this was an uncivilized country. We understand that the K. K. Ks. ard for the good and betterment of our county. I'd stand for this they should help or enforce the laws which the citizens of our state have seen fit to place before us. A person passing through the bottoms last Sunday would have thought that the day was holiday, instead of a day of worship Thanksgiving day or some other legal and rest. We sincerely believe that you will gladly take this affair in your charge Signed,
 CHRISTIAN MOTHERS.
