Granville Jones, Humorist.
The mark of a great orator is
that he reminds you of no one
else. This is true of Granville
Jones- He is unique, original,
always strong and delightfully
interesting. The entrance of
this lawyer, humorist and editor
'upon the Lyceum platform as a
lecturer means that “A new
Richmond is in the field.” The
man, the message and his me
thod are all out of the ordinary
and wholly different from the us
ual lyceum lecture attraction.
If Jones is like any man who
has been in the limelight of
America, it is Abraham Lincoln
—tall and angular of body, al
ways clearly logical, and yet
overflowing with the richest hu
mor. He is a typical son of the
South and his ideas and utter
ances are as fresh as the honey
suckle and dogwood bloom of
his native land. A magnetic,
natural simplicity marks the
manner and mental processes of
the man. Like many of our
great American statesmen, he
has a slight strain of Indian
blood in his veins, plainly trac
eable in his features.
From his appearance and first
word upon the platform he en
gages the watchful and sympa
thetic attention of his audience.
He early overcomes its mental
barricade and quietly captures
the citadel of its intellectual de
fenses, and from that time on to
the close of the lecture he is su
preme master of the occasion.
With his fine philosophy, learned
in the school of real life, and his
absolutely original and natural
humor, he carries his audience
up to such heights of intense in
terest and to such sympathy
with the man and his great mes
sage that one is at a loss to know
whether to allow tears or laugh
ter to express his appreciation;
a mingling of both is fitting and
usual when Jones speaks. If, as
the critics say, the finest litera
ture of the world is spoken lit
erature, then some of the most
beautiful gems and striking
comparisons and rich illustra
tions of all literature are in the
speeches of Hon. Granville Jones.

FEED OURSELVES AND OUR
TEAMS.
By H. M. Cottrell, Agricultural
Commissioner of Rock Island
Railway.
This should be Arkansas’ plan
for 1915. Each year Arkansas
sends out practically all the mon
ley which the cotton brings, for
food stuff for her people and
feed for her livestock.
, Winter oats sown immediate
ly will be ready to cut next
|May. This crop is adapted to
all the cotton districts of Ark
ansas. It does not do well in
the Northwestern part of the
state- The farmer can feed
them in the sheaf to his work
I teams and save the expense of
| threshing. An acre of oats
, sowed with good seed will fur
nish this $1.50 per acre for oats
| for a work mule or horse on the
farm, for sixty days. It will
take 25 to 30 bushels of corn to
I feed an animal for the same
length of time. Corn is now 50
! cents a bushel, in some of the
corn states, and the crop is gen
erally short throughout the U.
S. It will probably cost the
Arkansas farmer next summer
$1.25 a bushel, or more, so that
each acre of oats which he raises
to feed his team will save him
from buying from $25 to $35
worth of corn. Seed for oats
will cost $1.50 an acre and the
labor to put them in. Will it not
be better for the banker and
merchants of the State to fur
nisr this $1.50 per acre for oats
this fall, than to furnish the $25
jor $35 that he will have to pay
| for the corn if he does not sow
ithe oats?
PLANTING WINTER OATS.
Use one bushel turf oats, or
one and one half bushels Texas
Red rust proof. Break the
ground with turning plow. Disc

Solon Crook Assassinated.
One of the most deplorable
deeds that has been committed
in our city for a long time, was
the shooting of Solon Crook
down in cold blooded murder
Tuesday night. While sitting in
the family room of his own
home, the assassin stood in the
back yard or in the horse lot and
with a shot gun poured a volley
of buckshot into the back of the
deceased’s head. Solon Crook
was 38 years of age and was
shot down without a word of
warning, and there is no clue to
the perpetrator of this terrible
deed. Following the death of
Crook, the screams of the family
will be something our citizens
will not forget in many years
They were truly heart-rending.
Blood hounds were ordered from
Poplar Bluff and upon arrival
they picked up the trail and fol
lowed it to Hoxie where the as
sassin no doubt caught a train
on one of the railroads. The
funeral was held at his late home
on £,ast inira street at z p. m.
Thursday conducted by Rever
ends T. A. Bowen and G. C. Cur
rie, after which the Eagles took
charge and Re was buried with
the honors of that lodge. Solon
Crook had a world of friends and
his sudden passing away cast a
gloom over the entire county.
The funeral possession was one
of the largest ever witnessed in
our city. The business houses
all closed out of respect to the
deceased. He leaves a devoted
wife, two children, a sister and
other relatives to mourn his un
timely death and with whom the
Blade fully sympathizes. The
floral offering was profuse and
the fresh mound in the Lane
! cemetery was a bed of flowers
when the silent cortege returned
to the city.—Walnut Ridge
Blade.
Mrs. Howard Taylor and baby
daughter, Elton, of Delmar
boulevard, who have been visit
ing in the South, will return
home October 1, accompanied
by Mrs. Taylor’s ^mother, Mrs
A. Weatherford.—St. Louis Re

106 Bolls To Stalk.
Fred Parish has recently
brought in for exhibit at the
Farmers’ Bank, a stalk of “Ex
press” cotton, which produced
106 full grown bolls to the stalk,
65 of which are open. This cot
ton is a five lock boll and has a
staple of 1 1-4 inches.
Accident In Subway.
United Press Dispatch.
New York, Sept. 29.—Three
| men who were subway employ
ees are probably fatally hurt
| from a crash this morning. The
! wreckage burned and short cir
Icuited the trolley wires and a
hundred passengers were thrown
into a panic.
NO REASON FOR IT.
-
When Newport Citizens Show A
Way.
There can be no reason why
any reader of this who suffers
the tortures of an aching back,
I the annoyance of urinary disor
ders, the pains and dangers of
kidney ills will fail to heed the
words of a neighbor who has
found relief. Read what a Newr
jport citizen says:
I Mrs. G. W. Gochenour, 616
Main street, Newport, says:
| “Two of my family had symp
toms of kidney trouble, such as
I backache and dizzy spells. The
j kidney secretions were painful
,in passage and filled with sedi
ment. A cold always made the
j trouble worse. Doan’s Kidney
l Pills strengthened the back and
regulated the action of the kid
neys.”
Price 50c at all dealers- Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy
—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the
same that Mrs. Gochenour had.
