May I shun despair lest 1 give
pain to those around me by my
surliness. Drive away the devils
of gloom, despair, sorrow, hate
and fear, so that I may cheer
and help my associates instead
of hindering them. Let me live
today; for there may be no to
morrow. Help me to keep my
business clean and honest so
that I may serve the people. Let
me not misrepresent even if I
should lose—for the moment.
Carry me through this day an
optimist, working, helping and
cheering.—Edward Dreier.
Teaching the Farmer.
Jackson County is to have a
farm demonstrator the coming
year, a man chosen by the gov
ernment, who has studied scien
tific farming and knows the best
methods to increase crop yields
and diversification and make
farming more profitable. That
these desirable results are ac
complished, has been proven in
too many sections for the state
ment to be doubted or disputed.
But the results are greatest
naturally, where you find the far
mers willing and receptive. The
best farmers of a community are
always willing to learn and if the
demonstrator sent to Jackson is
the kind of man he should be and
which the salary paid justifies us
in expecting, the lands of this
! county will show a marked in
crease in yield and a proportion
ate profit to the man on the farm
who studies and applies these
suggestions and methods, that
have been tried out and proven
beneficial.
It is not only the boys and
girls of the corn, cotton and can
ning clubs that are to receive
this help and direction but all the
people. It is not only the young,
that are taught in school, but the
men in business and professions
as well. The lawyer has his li
brary, from which he daily de
rives guidance in his practice;
the doctor his reference author
ities and medical journals to
keep in touch with the advanced
thought of his profession, the
business men of all lines have or
ganizations, trade magazines
and conventions in which the
members secure better and help
ful ideas from each other, and
the farmer too, like all the re
mainder of us, has much to learn.
The only strange thing about
itris that an occupation that em
ploys more than any other,
which is the chief and largest
producer of the world’s wealth,
should so long have been neg
lected in an educational way.
Fell Beneath Moving Train
Forrest City, Oct. 23.—While
climbing through the window of
a box car on an Iron Mountain
freight train hei'e today, J. B.
Griffin of Alexandria, Mo., fell
between the cars and his body
was cut in two when the wheels
of several cars passed over him.
A coroner’s jury exonerated the
railroad company, as Griffin was
said to have been “beating his
way.”
A. H. Koodley of Big Springs,
Tex., said that he and Griffin
boarded the train at Marianna
intending to go to Wynne, where
Griffin, who had been employed
by the Iron Mountain railroad,
expected to have his pay check
cashed.
Local officers in conversation
over the telephone with J. W.
Sellers, a barber of Lexa, were
told that Griffin had been a
brakeman working out of Lexa
on the Memphis, Helena and
Louisiana railroad. Sellers al
so said that Griffin had three
children who were living with
their grandmother, near Little
Rock
The body is being held here
until relatives can be located.

Wild Mushrooms Fatal.
Zinc, Oct. 23.—Said to have
died as the result of eating wild
mushrooms, the body of Gus
Manske, a Swede, was found in a
barn at the home of George Mil
ler, one mile from Zinc. A coro.
ner’s jury declared that Manske
died as the result of inflamma
tion of the stomach. Manske
had been mining in this section
during the last six weeks, having
come here from Wisconsin.
Manske believed he would
make a “strike” in this section
and as he had no money, had
been sleeping in the bam on the
Miller place. It is said his mo
ther had promised to send him
money to aid him in prospecting.
The body was buried in the
cemetery at Zinc.
Not What She Meant.
The other evening at a simple
social function, opened with a game of
:arda, the host caused quite a »tlr
imong the ladles present by announc
ing after the guests had seated them
selves at the tables: "If everybody’*
nade up. we’ll start.” Seif consciously
hey looked at one another and ln
uluntarily their hands went to their
aces.

Examine Strange Personality.
A Frenchman, named Marguy. said
to possess the hide of an elephant,
Instead of the ordinary human skin;

countable for his actions, is to be
medically examined at the request of
the Freucli attorney general to de
termine his responsibility for a theft
