adopted by a unanimous vote. Tin
report deals with the farm in de

secured a very desirable piece <>
property. The valuation of tin
farm is placed at $134,3‘-i»>, not in

«»3rief history of Mot Stuff.
Editor The Journal,
Kor tho bcnetit of those wh
were not in Newark last Saturda
1 will try to describe the excite
ment we had near the post oilier
and I may mention a few things i:
connection with Mr. Hot Stull'.
About the time I was gettin
out of my buggy I saw a gre:
multitude of people near the ik»
Every farmer knows thn
some plants grow better tha:
others. Soil may be the sam
and seed may seem the sam
but some plants are weak am
others strong.
And that’s the way wit!
children. They are like youn.
plants. Same food, same horn,
same care but some grow hi:
and strong while others stu
small and wrcak.
Scott’s Emulsion off- rs a:
easy way out of the difficult)
Child weakness often mean
irvation, not because of la'
but because live foo<
not feed.
Scott's Emulsion really feed
the child grovvin;
sngth.
Whatever the cause of weal
d failure to grow
Emulsion seems to fin<
!office, and they wen* acting very
strangely. Some were gagging,
(some were vomitting ami many
j were on the grouml. On making
; inquiry t learned that they had
i just, read an article in I’ho Journal
: from “llot Stuff” and it had the
' same effect as a dose of strychnine.
I About »M» of the victims went tip
j to the editor’s office and demanded
| their patter stoptted. I icippenc I
to come in about thi time and told
them 1 had an antidote for all such
poison, and they wanted to know
1 what it was. i told them I was
going to eon tribute an article to
, The .fournu! my - If, and they re
newed their subscriptions ?» too
years in advance; and in addition
to that, in about lb minutes, the
editor received >|H| nev* subscrip
tions. Their names will appear
about the o2nu <-’! tiustar
tt*r this occurred I saw a very hag
gard looking woman who was
weeping, wailing and gnashing
’ her teeth. I intorngated her about
her distress and she told me that
' she had seen her husband -> name
1 in The Journal and the sight of it
almost drove her mad. 1 asked
' who her husband was and she re
plied that it was Hot Stuff, of Elion
Texas. 1 told her sh was mistak
* en, for he had his famil.i with him
i in Texas. She then told me the
sad story. She said that a short
time after I left Arkansas, that,
' through his deception, he made
her believe he was a single man
’ and they were married, but after
■ wants he deserted her, ran away
1 and went to Texas. 1 said to her:
^ “Woman, bo of good cheer if that
is all, for he will soon starve the
family to death he has in Texas
' and you can reclaim him."
1 Say. Mr. Editor, just between
you and me, 1 will tell you somc
, thing about Hot St.uIT that took
place a short while after he went
to Texas, lie worked for an old
miller there known as Inch' Hilly
White, who lived in the back
woods. Hot Stuff told me that lie
thought he could get along with
I tin* old man very well if he could
just keep from telling such un
reasonable yarns. “Hut." he says
“its just as natural for me to yarn
as it is for John MePeok to want
to marry, and if you are ever pres
ent when 1 am gittin off too much,
you wink and I'll taper off: and if
you think 1 ought to change the
. program entirely, you wink sev
eral times right quick."
“Very well,” said 1. So I was
, going to (iiliner one day in re
, spouse to a request from the cir
. euit judge saying he desired some
. legal advice on a difficult matter,
• and I had to go through the swamp
. where Hot Stuff had his tent
. stretched, .lust as l rode up 1
. heardtheoldmillers.iy, “Slouchy
, its time the mill was started.” (All
. the Texas folks cull him Slouchy.)
i “All right l nele Hilly,” slid lint
. Stuff, “just as quick as my shirt
dries.”
I took down Ini' old quilt they
had up for a door and untun'd the
tent. His wife had a big tin* built
drying his shirt and he was laying
on a pilo of straw, which they
usud for a bed, anti ho was eovoretl
with an old soldier's blanket which
the old miller had used during tin
civil war and had given to Hot
Stull during that eel ! snap.
“thick' Hilly,” says Hot Stull,
“that's Prof. Cash, of Arkansas.’
The old miller aro-" from his
chunk, shook hauls and invitet
me to have a seat on the othei
chunk on the opposite side of tin.
1 ; tent. As 1 didn't earn to ruin a
t pair of Sin pants, 1 sat down on a
■ coon skin.
“Professor," s:li| the old millei
■ ! who saw that 1 was an intelligent
|; man, “is the laud party good in
Arkansal’ ‘
“You jest hut its good,'' began
: Hot Stuff before I ha 1 time b
wink. “Wlij just to show yot
how good the land is. I’ll tell yoi
what 1 done wnnst,” says Hoi
Stuff. “My uncle give me a pig
and I Ink it home in an oystei
can. 1 wus a livin'on Mr. Whis
mint's place dost to Dota tha
year. That night 1 tuk it out ol
■ j the can and put its tail betweei
j two clods of dirt so it could gi:
1 ■some fresh air. During the nigh1
its tail tuk root in them 'ere clod
and the pig liegin to grow , ant
next mornin' when I got up tin
durn thing w as a great big hog.
lammed in and killed it and blamei
if hit didn’t weigh oi>0 pounds
The next year (i. O. Magness go
me to go down in Pig Bottom t<
look at his land. He said hit w u
party good land. While we w u
<lown thar I raked otr a plac^ wit!
Hiy .foot and throwed down Jomt
k ntHstiniher sei
eucuntbcr seed, and in a few fmiii
utes I seed ’em n com in up. Mr.
Mildness sod we’d hotter he git tin
away, so we started for tlie fence,
but before we could git out them
blamed vines nvertuk us and they
tangled me us so, I fell down. I
rammed my hand in my pocket to
«it my knife to cut the vines loose
and pulled out a cucumber 13
inches long.”
•lust as Hot Stuff got to this
point, John MclVek, one of Ids
close neighbors, brought in a slip
full of bran. (They were living oh
bran cake and coon at lids time.)
As dohn passed me some of lh<j
bran Hew in my eyes, and in my
haste to get it, out I began to bat
my eyes very rapidly. Hot Stull
happened to notice me and thought
this a sign for him to change. Mr
knnncked off a few sand flies from
his bare arms, drew a long breath
ami says *Tucle Billy, 1 know ai
old man in Arknnsaw by the naim
of Zibe Barber that's got souk
land so poor you can’t raise t
i racket on it. He plants it in corr
| and has his rows eight feet a pan
: each way. He plants one grain t<
the, hill, then thins it from 3 to ;
time and durn my skin if that old
feller don’t, have to buy corn t<
feed his oxens on while he’s i
getherin Ids rrapl”
“Well, Slouehy,’’ says the oh
; miller, “we’ll not run the mill anj
I longer with steam. I'll put in aga:
: pipe from the mill over here t<
i the tent and you can run it will
gas.”
'W ell, Professor, .says the oh
\ miller,“how is game in ArkansasC
I “(lame,” says Hot Stuff, befon
I could open my mouth, “well I'l
tell you what 1 done one Sunday
mornin. I tuk my fine aluminum
j silver mounted, wire twist, !mm
i merles, double barrel, breech load
iny shot gun and stepped out am
• was gone minutes."’ Now that"
how lie described that old rust,'
musket that his uncle carriet
j through the war. I 'm not goinj.
| to explain how he came in poses
sion of the gun; for if Ids unci
and the laws of the land allow hin
j to keep it, it' none of my business
[Says lie "1 never found muel
!game till I got to Carter's creek
but when 1 got tlmr I looked acro>
and tliar stood a big buck deer,
throw ed my gun up to shoot and
| heord a noise down the creek.
: t urned my head and saw -On wil
geese. Hearing a noise up tli
creek 1 turned and saw 5)00 will
ducks. 1 heeard something
sizin around my feet and lookei

■ 71 feet long and lie had s;t ruttle
Well, sir. I banged away and kil
the wlioh blamed outfit and tin
! ramrod even flew down and killc
the rattle snake.”
The old miller says “Slouchy,
j didn’t know you used a ramro
| with tlint kind of a gun.”
W ell, that stumped him; lie did
n’t know what to say. He scratch
led iiis bare arms awhile arid (mail.
| he said, “Cnele Billy, I’ll tel! yo
what me and the periVser tliar don
a tishin wunst.”
Says 1, “Hot Stuff, if you recit

■ Hilly or nobody, for I'll be bkuni
I if 1 hear it.’’
.No, nor i, says mo om mute
and so wo loft. As wo wont awa.
1 could hoar Hot Stull humuiiti;
that old familiar tune, “Honn
Swoot Homo, Oh How 1 Long Fo
Thee.”
Tho old man nskod mo if Hi
Stull wasn't a natural horn liar,
evaded the question by saying tha
ho was about half crazy. Tho
i the old man wanted to know won
made him crazy, and 1 told hii
! tho poor follow was away froi
