Willing to Arbitrate. The old gentleman was leading his boy to the woodshed. A strap danolpd in the hand nf the old man ! > and a tear trickled down tbe face of the boy. "This will be more painful to me than to you," said the unhappy father, with quivering lip. "Then let's settle the matter without striking," suggested the boy, "I'm willing to arbitrate." A woman's figure seldom feels th6 I way it looks. ? ^ How John Allen Failed. Ex-Congreesman John Allen, of Mississippi, known far and wide as an incomparable wit, is one of the commissioners of the St. Louis exposition. The other day a friend asked him what he was doing for the exposition. "Not so very much," answered AlleB, "and some of my best efforts miscarry. I went down to Arkaneas to get the Legislature to make an appropriation for an exhibit. When I arrived at Little Bock, a sort of reception was tendered me by former residents of Mississippi, a great many having come across the river into that State. Well, the next day they got the two houses together in joint session so that I would not have to make two speeches. I remarked upon the gratitude I felt for the great honor done me the night before and siid while I appreciated it, I could not, as a loyal Mi6sissippian, but regret that so many of her sons had left her to become residents of Arkansas. 'Mississippi,' I said, 'is a great State, with many resources and capable of the highest development. I am sure if these former residents of that commonwealth now living in Arkansas had remained in Mississippi and stood trial, they would have been acquitted by the jury.' It seems," continued Mr. Allen with a show of regret, "that there was a county treasuaer who had defrauded in Mississippi and a sheriff that had got away after making a big sale, who were members of the Legislature, and they took my remarks personally. On Annrmnf. nf f.hoif cflTnrfa the ? priation was not what we expected." Bronchitis for Twenty Years* Mrs. Minerva Smith, of Danville, III, writes: 4T had bronchitis for twenty years and never got relief until I used Foley's Honey and Tar which is a sure cure. The Kaufmann Drug Co. t . Frightened Grand Jury. Jackson, Ky., July 24?Charles GreeD, who testified that he saw the men with Curtis Jett when the latter is alleged to have shot Cockrill and that he could identify them if he 8aw them, was taken again before the grand jury. Spicer and Britton were presented to him. He said they were not the men he saw with Jett. It is said tonight that threats have been made against Green and that he was intimidated so that he failed to identify the assassins of Cockrill. It is now charged that the pending investigation of the grand jury has been so interrupted by intimidating some witnesses and preventing the appearance of|others that it is deemed useless to continue the investigation. By a vote of 8 to 4 the grand jury refused to indict Deputy Sheriff Wm. Britton on the charge of being anac ceseory to tee murder 01 uocKrm. The jury also failed to indict Asbury Spicer on the ground of insufficient evidence. The Treaty Dead. Washington, July 24 ?The treaty providing for the acquisition by the United States cf the Danish West India islands officially died today. If Denmark should conclude to sell the islands to the United States it will be possible to revive the provisions of the treaty which has just failed; meantime the position of the State Department is comfortable, for having done its part toward completing the bargain the American government of course could not sanction the sale of the islands by Denmark to any other government. i ? -O- ? 11 me woran wuxios^. The great rise in the price of cotton for present and future delivery makes it certain that the growing crop will bring good prices, even if there should be a decline from the preeent high figures. All reports show that the crop is iate, but in most sections cultivation has been proceeding rapidly, and * ~ - - I there are generally good stands, and | the backwardness can be made up ! with usual seasons from now on. The incentive of high prices will cause unusual care to be taken by cotton growers in the cultivation, picking and marketing of the crop, and the cotton States will almost certainly receive more money for this year's cotton than ever before. The world now needs from 11,000, BMBaBHHHBBMBMnBngn 000 to 12,000,000 bales of American cotton, and the quantity needed is growing larger year by year, so ''King Cotton" is more firmly seated on his throne than ever, and surrounded by his followers, corn, grass, cattle, hogs, fruits, vegetables and poultry he can proclaim prosperity to all the fortunate dwellers in his broad domain. - + Chester Starts Road Building. Chester, July 22?In response to the announcement made by the UouDty Uommissioners tnat wort on permanent roads would be begun in that part of the county which cffercd the greatest inducement in the way of money and reck, many enthu:iastic meetings have been held by the farmers throughout the county. Monday the board decided that the Columbia road should b9 woiked first, $1,500 having been donated. The work will extend to the thrermile post, and will then be begun on the Bossville road and worked to the it. !1 - 1 J 1_ _ a 3 *n inira mne post on mat roaa rcden's bridge road will also be worked to the three mile post. Other portions of the county offered great inducements. In Mr. T. J. Cunnigham's neighborhood about Woodward church, money and rock were offered and a team of eight mules for a part of the time. Rodman section donated $500. From the Brick house on that road to Rocky creek, a distance of two miles, $400 was donated. The people are much interested in this work, and in a few years bad roads in this county will be a matter of history. Mr. Anderson of Lowryville was elected overseer of the road machinery.

Corn For Poultry. Corn is one of the staples as poultry food, and yet we can trace a large per cent, of the failures to its abuse. If given to fowls daily it will produce fat and this in time completely ruins the fowl so far as laying is concerned, but if fed in moderation, as a change from oats, wheat and peas, it makes an almost indispensable supply. It is excelent also for growing chickens, but these, as with the old fowl, it must be fed sparingly. During very cold weather without corn it is well nigh impossible to keep the hens laying, but even then best results are obtained by partially roasting it. For fattening poultry for market meal takes first place, and the work can be accomplised several days quicker than when other is used. When preparing poultry for market feed all they will eat, but when feeding hens for eggs let corn be only an occasional feed, or only a partial ration if given daily. Oats should be the principal grain food for laying hens, the corn being used simply as a change. When thu3 fed it pro-' duces most excellent results. Conference at Oyster Bay.
