OCTAVE THANET
ADDRESSES FARMERS.
The farmers’ union met at
Clover Bend Friday and Satur
day and had a regular gala day
or love feast. All took well filled
baskets and an excellent spread
was had. Miss Alice French,
“Octave Thanet,” addressed the
crowd upon the subject of good
roads and handled the subject
admirably, injecting into the sub
ject many good and practical
^ideas. The main idea advanced
was that in making good roads
we undertake to make too much
i at once, cover too much territo
ry. Her idea was to begin at
one end of the line and what
road was made in one year should
be made permanent and good,
the next year make a lot more or
as much as could be made, all
the while doing what is done
well. Wm. Rowe from the east
ern district and B. F. Seagraves
from the western district were
again chosen delegates to the
next state meeting.—Lawrence
County Blade.
EXPOSING SPIRITUALISM.
Lonoke, May 21.—B. T. Os
borne, the “spiritualist,” was
greeted by a fairly good audi
ence last night. He did a little
light hypnotic work, made the
spirits talk and other work us
ually done by fakes. Mr. Os
borne is a Methodist preacher
from St. Louis and his idea in
giving these lectures is to expose
the methods used by “spiritual
ists” who each year fleece the
people out of thousands of dol
lars.

r TELLING HIS TALE
OF WOE AND WHY.
“I once was young, but now I
am old,”' said a grayhaired man
recently. “I have traveled over
all the states of the Union and
nearly all the countries of the
world. I have listened to tales
’of woe from people of all na
tions. I have studied the cause
of these failures in all lands and
climes, and I am convinced that
the majority of pauperism and
crime of the world is due to the
lack of practical training in youth
to make an honest living and lay
by something for a ‘.rainy day.’ ”
What an inducement this is for
young people to enter a commer
cial college and take a thorough
course of bookkeeping, business
training, shorthand, typewriting
or telegraphy and fortify against
the “rainy day!” It takes only
a short time and a small cost to
finish such a course in the Mem
phis Commercial College, 46 N.
Second street, Memphis, Tenn. —
the
school
Thi
pat:
differ:
are provi
its courses of stiltry oy nonir
the very best and most responsi
ble positions.
Young man. young woman,
don’t go through the world tell
ing your tale of woe. Begin to
day with the determination to
make your life a success. The
commercial world holds out
brighter and better inducements
today than ever before.
If you will write the above
named school for one of their
large illustrated free catalogues
they will be glad to mail you one
promptly.

RAINS DELAY WORK.
Austin, May 21.—The straw
berry crop in this section is very
i short and but few berries were
shipped this week. The recent
1 rains and cold weather proved
detrimental to the crop. Cotton
and corn are very small for this
| time of the year, and many farm
1 ers are not through planting on
account of the rains.

$1,000 Bonds.
England, May 21.—About 9:30
last night a quarrel arose on Main
street and during the fight which
ensued T. j. Tygart, a leading
druggist and ex-mayor, was shot
in the abdomen and seriously in
jured, but it is not thought that
the wound will prove fatal. Two
shots were fired during the en
gagement, but parties concerned
in the shooting can not be ascer
tained.
Ben High, a popular young
merchant, was taken into cus
tody on the statement of Mr.
Tygart and was released upon a
bond of $1,000, while J. W. Hicks
was fined $25 for flourishing a
pistol.
At present nothing definite can
be given as to who did the shoot
ing, but it is believed by many J
that Mr. Tygart was wounded
by the discharge of his own re
volver.

A RECORD YEAR
FOR RAINY WEATHER.
And the rains continue, which j
tells a dismal story to this ag^i- j
cultural section of blighed pros- j
pects and ruined crops. The
river is rising, having reached
23 feet on the local gauge, yet
Director Richards of Little Rock
wires us the assurance that we
need not fear 26 feet of water.
S. 0. Massey of Cotter tele
graphed his father that stock
should be taken out of the low
lands and from Calico Rock,
Batesville and Cotter reports
come of a rising river.
April and May thus far show a
rainfall of 16.24 inches, a top
notch record, and the prospects
of better weather are not flatter
ing.
BALLOON ASCENSION
A BIG SUCCESS.
The balloon ascension by Prof.
Eckhart Saturday afterncon took
place as advertised at Sink &
Martin’s store, being witnessed
by the large crowd in attendance
upon their sale.
The aeronaut was compelled to
make an early leap, and as It
was his parachute brought him
down on the river bank, the
balloon falling on the far side of
thp rivpr.
Prof. Eckhart. will make an
other ascension and parachute
leap Tuesday afternoon at 4
o’clock, given by Sink & Martin
in honor of the Elks.
