A dispatch from Columbia. La.,
to the Monroe News-Star or the
16th concerning a former resident
of Huttig was as follows:
“J. H. Hanlan Sunday night shot
and instantly killed David Ogle
thorpe, his son-in-law, at the Han
lan home at Clarks, seven miles
south of here. Hanlan wa° arrest
ed.
“According to the prisoner. Ogle
thorpe returned to the Hanlan
home at 10 o'clock in an in
toxicated condition and created a
disturba’ce. Oglethorpe is alleg
ed to have told members of the
family that he intended to kill his
father-in-law.
“Hanlan says that Oglethorpe
went to the door of his room and
proceeded to kick it down and
entered the room where Hanlan lay
on his bed and made a demonstra
tion towards him. Hanlan reached
for his gun. which lay conveniently
near, and fired, killing Oglethorpe
instantly.
“The sheriff found Hanlan at the
home of his neighbor and the body
of Oglethorpe on the front porch of
the Hanlan home.
“Nobody seems to know how the
body of Oglethorpe came to be on
the front porch, for there is no dis
pute about the fact the killing took
place in Hanlan’s bedroom.”

Prepare for Next Year's Crops.
The time is drawing near at hand
to begin preparations for next
year’s crops. Two matters of im
portance should be considered
right now. One is seed selection
and the other is deep fall plowing.
The seed corn for planting next
spring can be selected during Oc
tober and November. The best
plan is to go through the field and
select the best ears by hand, and
put them away to dry. You can
make a good rack for 'drying corn
for seed by the use of woven wire
fencing. Taking two strips six
feet long, and place a sufficient
number of six inch blocks between
the strips and fastem them with
staples, so they would haye the
same appearance as if two strips of
wire fencing were fastened to each
side of fence posts. The ears of
corn can be placed through the
wire meshes, letting one end of the
ear rest in the mesh of one strip
of wire and the other end of the
ear in the mesh of the other strip.
This will make a simple home
made rack that can be suspended
from the rafters in the barn if you
like, and will make a good way of
drying the seed corn. In selecting
the ears, get the bpst filled out
ones from strong stalks.
There are various simple meth
ods of testing the seed for germi
nation. You can take a piece of
domestic and mark it off in squares
and number the squres. Then
take three or more grains from
each ear, and place them on the
squares, and number or tag the ear
accordingly. Take the grains from
different parts of the ear. Then
cover the cloth with another, and
roll it up and wrap it in a piece of
an old sack, or some such material.
After this, soak it in warm water
for about thirty minutes, and then
take it out and lay away where it
cannot freeze. Keep it moist until
the corn sprouts well. Then make
an examination of the grains. If
they germinate well and the roots
put out are strong and healthy,
6ave the corresponding ears. If
not discard them. Continue these
tests through the winter, as you
have time, and when spring comes
you will have good and reliable seed
to plant. Seed corn that will
I germinate only 80 per cent will
, depreciate your yield ten bushels
I per acre, if your land will produce
1 at the rate of fifty bushels per
acre.
Test your cotton and grain seed
i too. By all means sellect your
1 cotton seed this fall, taking into
, consideration the stock develop
ment, and the boll, and all the
: characteristics that make good
j cotton. You will profit by it. By
' all means break your land, or as
I mffch of it as possible, this fall, and
oreak it deep. It is safe to go two
inches deeper than you have plow
ed during the past year. It will
pay in most instances to use a sub
soiler after the turning plow. Re
member that just as deep as you
plow your land this fall you will
have a storage for water and plant
food next year when the crop is
growing. The drouth of the past
season should emphasize the impor
tance of deep fall plowing.
We have good folks and good
farmers in Arkansas, and I want to
see all the farmers getting tne ben
efit of the best methods. Begin
now to prepare for better farming
next year. Do not overlook the
importonce of stock. Look well
after the brood sows. Now is the
time to get a good male if you
haven't one. _ With a good male
you can take the scrub hogs and
soon have a good strain of stock
hogs. Breed the sows in Novem
ber and December, so the pigs will
come early in the spring, and make
mature hogs nexi fall and winter,
and be ready for meat instead of
having to be wintered.

Arkansas State Normal School.
Since the opening of this insti
tution five years ago over fifteen
. hundred students have been en
| rolled there. Many of them are
now teaching in our state, and their
I influence is being recognized in the
improvement of our schools,
i Directors are beginngto appreciate
I the value of the trained teacher,
' and no other kind can now find
j employment in our city schools.
Why should not the same pretec
j tion be given the pupils of the town
1 and rural schools?
Arkansas was slow to provide
| for the training of her teachers:
! other states have for years sup
j ported by liberal appropriations
i schools for this purpose: Missouri.
I for example, has seven, for which
| last year over $625,000 was ap
: propriated. Now that our state is
I doing her part in this matter, cer
tainly has a right to expect that
those who seek positions in her
. schools shall take advantage of the
; opportunity afforded to prepare to
do the work intelligently.
Each county examine is author
ized by law to issue scholarships to
those who may wish to enter the
Normal School: the tuition is free;
good accommodations have been
provided: the buildings are well
equipped: ihe instruction is thor
ough; the expenses are reasonable:
certainly, then, our teachers should
avail themselves of the advantages
offered.
Some teachers of our county
have a’tended the State Normal
School, and they are its strongest
advocates. There are among us.
however, many whose work in ihe
schoolroom could be much improv
I ed. Will directors much longer
employ incompetents, if efficient
teachers can be secured? There
is but cne answer to this question.
Catalogues and full information can
be obtained by writing to your
county examiner or two J. J. Doyne,

Pen-Portrait of Jesus.
The following pen-portrait of
Jesus was taken from a manuscript
now in the possession of Lord Kelly,
and in his library; and was copied
from an original letter of Publius
Lentelius, at Rome. It being the
custom of Roman governors to
advertize the people and Senate
of such material things as happen
ed in their provinces, in the days of
Tiberias Geasar, Publis Lentelius,
President of Judea, wrote the
%
following epistle to the Senate
concerning our Sayior:
‘‘There appeared in these our
days a man of great virture. named
Jesus Christ, who is yet living
among us, and of the Gentiles is
accepted as a Prophet of Truth, j
but his own diciples call him the
Son of God he raiseth the dead I
and cureth all manner of diseases.
A man of stature somewhat tall
and comely, with very reverend
countenance, such as the beholders
may both love and f ar his hair of
the of a chesnul full ripe, plain to
his ears; whence downward it is
; more orient an 1 curling, and wav
ing about his shouldeis. In th^
midst of his head is a seam or
partition of his hair. after the
manner of the Naz n iter,. His
forehead plain and v*nv delicate;
his face without spot ui w.mkb
beautiful rod; his nose and mouth
so formed as nothing can be repre
hended: his beam ticklish, in color
like his hair, not yerv long, but
forked: his look innocent and:
mature: his eyes gray, clear and
quick. In reproving he is terrible:
in admonishing, courteous and fail
spoken: pleasant in conversation,
mixed with gravity. It cannot be
remembered that any haye seen
him laugh, but many have seen him
weep. In proportion of body most
excellent. His hands and arms
most delicate to behold. In speak
ing, very temperate, modest and
wise. A man for his singular
beauty, surpassin the children of
men." Selected.
Hiilrs of Postage in Ifi iO.
Whatever upward tendency the
prices of food, clothing and other
commodities of daily use may have
had in recent years, postage rates
have been coming lower from time
to time. Nowadays we can send a
letter anywhere in thj United
States for two cents; newspapers
arc carried for me cent a pound
for publishers and four cents a
pound for the public; and with our
new parcel post system now in op
eration we ran send fair-sized
packages of merchandise at reason
able rates anywhere we wish.
These and other advantages, with
t^e mu.h more rapid rate at which
our mail matter is carried, makes
the present mall service incompar
ably better than that of 1830,
which the Lewiston Journal des
cr bes as follows:
“According to a table of the
postoffices in the United States as
they were Oct. 1. 1830, the whoie
