Prompted By Jealousy, Newport
Y'oung Man Tries to Kill
Qirl and Himself
Newport, Mch. 21.—Jealous of
her attentions to other young men
of Newport, Fred Cooper, a young
man of this city last night shot
and wounded Bessie Blount of
Lake Providence, La., in the Plant
ers’ Hotel here. He then turned
the revolver on himself and at
tempted to end his own life. The
bullet entered the side of his face
and lodged near the temple. The
young woman was shot in the jaw
and is not fatally wounded, accord

arrested and is in jail here. Phy

port on account of his “wild west”
costumes. He had been paying
some attention to Miss Blount,
hut he is not known to have made
any threats. About 6:30 o’clock
last night he walked into the ho
tel, and without a warning, fired
at Miss Blount. Apparently be
lieving he had killed her, Cooper
then turned the revolver upon
himself. Physicians say that the
pistol used by Cooper was a cheap
weapon, with but little penetrat
ing power, or both he and Miss
Blount would have been fatally
wounded.

THE IMPORTANCE
OF PREPARATION
State Commissioner Urges Farm
ers to Thoroughly Prepare
Land Before Planting
We are not in the corn belt be
cause we have not given proper
attention to live stock farming. If
bigger corn crops help produce
better live stock, more live stock
means bigger corn crops. For bet
ter live stock: plant good seed,
prepare a good seed bed, utilize
every available bit of manure and
humus-making material, cultivate
often and shallow, and study a
plan of rotation that will build up
your soil. Our corn crops are
small not so much because of the
way we handle our corn but the
way we handle our land. Get the
land ready.
1 he preparation ot the soil for
your crop is of the greatest impor
tance. It not only insures a bet
ter stand, but decreases the amount
of cultivation, required by the
crop later on, and finally insures
the farmer a better yield. And
that is the reward for all the cai e
and work. Deep breaking and
plowing under of organic rhauei
should be the rule in i e spring
for cotton or corn. Then there is
no crop grown where a liberal use
of high grade commercial fertiliz
er pays better than on cotton, but
do not get the fertilizer craze.
Get humus (decaying organic mat
ter) restored through the growth
of legumes and feeding it to get
manure.
Deep plowing, through prepar
ation and heavy fertilization are all
necessary to grow good crops. In
all cases use good seed. It will be
cheaper to pay a good price than
to plant those of poor quality.
Then arrange some seed plots and
grow your own seeds.

INDIGESTION
A Disorder that Breeds Dis
ease In the Body, and an
Easy Way to Cure it.
Take care of the stomach and you will
have little need for the doctor.
When the stomach begins to show
signs of disorder; when the food digests
slowly and with discomfort; when you
have heartburn; feel bloated and uneasy,
you are in a condition that needs atten
tion.
Prickly Ash Bitters corrects the dis
ordered stomach by strengthening and
toning up the digestive organs, driving
the badly digested food into the bowels
and thence out of the system.
Constipation is neai'ly always pres
ent when the stomach becomes sour or
disordered. Prickly Ash Bitters con
tains the medicinal qualities which act
as a restorative and regulator for the
stomach and bowels. It strengthens the
digestive organs, cures constipation and
prevents the return of bilious conditions.
Thousands of people who have re
ceived lasting benefit from this great
remedy willingly testify to its power in
curing indigestion, constipation and kid
ney trouble.
"I suffered from constipation for years, and
tried many remedies, but Prickly Ash Bitters ia
the only medicine that has ever done me any
good. Through its use 1 am now in good health
and entirely free from all traces of my former
trouble."—B. P. Stigali., Winnsboro, Louisaua.

ELECTRICIAN LOSES
LIFE AT BATESVILLE
Hiram G. Lambert Electrocuted
While Reparlng Lights and
Dies Instantly
Batesville, Mch. 21.—A fatal
after-math of the heavy wind and
rain storm last night was the acci
dental death this morning of
Hiram G. Lambert, city electrician
of Batesville. Mr. Lambert was
repairing the city’s street lights in
West Batesville when his hand
came in contact with a live wire.
Neighbors saw him fall and sum
moned a physician, but Lambert
died before he could be given
medical assistance. He was 24
years old and is survived by his
mother and three brothers, w'ho
live at Searcy.
KEEPS THE FARMER’S
TOOLS ALWAYS SHARP
Next to chopping wood the
hardest work of the farm boy, as
the editor of the Arkansas Home
stead remembers, is turning the
old-fashioned grind stone while
father sharpens the tools. There
is now a labor-saving tool sharp
ener known as the Luther Farm
Tool Grinder which a man mounts
as he would a bicycle, turns with
his feet and, both hands free,
sharpens his axe, blade or disc to
that degree of keenness which be
longed to the instrument when it
left the factory. This useful ma
chine is cheap and it is sent free
on trial. A book describing it may
be had by addressing the Luther
