AfffCTED WITH GLANDERS.
Stale Veterinary Surgeon Shoots Six
Horses Owned by Will Steen of
Near Campbell.
Glanders has manifested itself
among the horses of Will Steen
m/ar Campbell, five miles north
of Newport and on Saturday,
six horses were shot under or
ders from Dr. Rice of Fayette
ville, state veterinary surgeon.
One horse had previously died
and the case was at once re
ported to Dr. Rice, who upon
arrival and examination, diag
nosed .the trouble as glanders
and under the state lav/, all the
infected stock was at once killed.
Two of Steen’s horses were
left, but Doctor Rice will return
again soon for a further exam
ination, as he says the disease
may be contracted by chickens
or other stock that have been ex
posed.
The horses infected with the
disease have been running on
the range and the origin of the
dread disease is not known. It
first made its appearance by a
running of the nose, then by
sores all over the body, which
eat up or choke the animal.
mere is no Known cure ana as
the disease is infectious, the on
ly safeguard for the welfare of
the community, is the killing of
the stock.
The state law provides no re
imbursement to the owner for
stock ordered killed and Mr.
Steen in this instance loses near
ly $1,000. As a manifestation
of the sympathy of the people
of this section for him, a sub
scription was started Saturday
and soon had over a hundred
dollars pledged as a reimburse
ment for his loss.
Thought for Our Young People.
Some years ago every young:
man was striving to enter ;
the professions; now they are
going into the world of business.
The fortunes of our country are
in its business. The Goulds,
Vanderbilts, Carnegies, Stew
arts, and Armours are found!
in the counting houses, the fac- j
tories, the packing houses; thej
wealth of your town, young,
reader,is in business; it is so in j
every town and city. The pro-!
fessions are overcrowded; busi-j
ness will never be so The law j
does not offer such prizes as mer- j
chandising; medicine, not half;
the wealth of manufacturing; |

compared with mining or finance, j
The professions require many j
years to insure even a living in-1
come; business pays from the!
start. But, for business you!
must have a business education.
Get, then a business education, |
get the best in the best schools;'
in other words, attend the Mem- j
phis Commercial, 46 N. Second!
i street, Memphis, Tenn., where
. the famous Byrne systems are
taught.

AN EASY ARKANSAN.
Stripling Stripped of Seven Thousand
Dollars by Hot Springs Woman—
Victim Was from Lake Village.
Hot Springs, Feb. 11. —G. T.
Stripling, an unsophisticated
visitor from Lake Village, Ark.,
allowed himself to be victimized
out of almost $7,000 by an at
tractive alleged St. Louis widow,
who gave the name of Mrs. A.
F. Bauer, and to whom he paid
$6,900 in cold cash without se-j
curity.
After finding that the woman 1
had boarded a train for the North, j
Stripling reported the matter to!
the police today. They can not'
order the woman held, even it i
she is iocated, they say, as
Stripling himself says she simply j
borrowed the money.
Stripling, wno is about 55, be-!
came infatuated with the woman,
and says he lent her money for j
the ostensible purpose of start- r
ing a rooming-house. She prom
ised, he asserts,'to return in a
few hours with first mortgage
on the property as security, but.
instead departed on the next
train for an unknown destina-s
tion.
ro the Memory of Little Pauline Davis.
A year in heaven for her, what is she learning
Of holy things, of things divine and true"
What glorious visions there are still unfolding, !
Which here she never knew.
i
Did angel friends await her at her coming?
Did angel faces greet her with a smile?
Was that deal mother eager to receive her, i
Whom she had lost awhile?
A year cn earth for us without her presence,
A year of loneliness, grief and pain;
But still we smile amid our tears in thinking,
Our loss is but her gain.
We miss her in our joys and in our sorrows.
She was our life, our center and our sun;
Yet we would not call her back, hut whisper,
“O Father, Thy will he done." X.

Within fifteen Minutes of
Each Other.
The home of W. Burlison, liv
ing on the Will Edmund’s farm
in Oil Trough bottom was left
cheerless Saturday night, when
! both the little ones that contrib
uted much of the joy to this i
happy home, were taken within
fifteen minutes of each other.
Both had contracted pneumo
nia. Yernie, a two year old girl
and Lee. a four months old boy,
died at 9:45 and 10 o’clock Satur

Revival Meeting.
1
The large auditorium of the
Methodist church was pretty well
taxed Sunday at both services, >
the sermons being ably delivered
by the visiting evangelist, Rev.
W. M. McIntosh.
The sermon on the ‘‘Goodness;
of God’s Love” at 11 o’clock was
one of the strongest sermons to j
tne unsaved mat nas ueen
preached during the meeting,
and which resulted in many giv
ing their hands as pledges to
live a better life. The evening
sermon was on the popular sins
of the day, the speaker, using
strong terms to express his be
lief as to the evils of such lives.
The meeting is accomplishing
great good and people are urged
to attend.
The music of the splendid choir
under the direction of Mr. C. E.
Crook, deserves much praise for
its excellence. The special music j
at both services Sunday was ably i
rendered and much enjoyed by
the large congregation.

That’s an
Expensive
Watch
No matter how little it ost
you, if it doesn't tell you t e
right time. That kind of a
watch would be dear if you got
it for nothing.
A handsome case is desirable
—but an accurate inside
mechanism is absolutely
INDISPENSABLE.
If you like you may put one of
our $15 works into a tin
case, and you will have an
excellent time-piece.
What we wish to point out is
that the works are the watch,
the case is the adornment.
