KILLED HIS WIFE.
Mountain Home, Oct. 23.—
Jiews reached here yesterday of
the killing of Mrs. Jim Russell by
her husband, who lives on Hi#
Creek in the eastern part of the
county. The tragedy grew out of
a divorce suit at the recent term
of chancery court, at which time
the wife secured a divorce and also
the custody of the only child.
When she presented the court's
order for the babe, Russell shot
lier, and as she started to run shot
her again, inflicting fatal wounds.
He then turned the gun on him
self and inflicted a wound that is
likely to prove fatal, although at
this writing he is still alive.

MR. HINDMAN REBUKED
—
Mrs. R. W. Highland Says Mothers
Should Abstain From the Use
of Strong Drink.
I _
To The Newark .Journal:
My husband takes The Journal
and I have just finished reading
Mr. Hindman’s article on temper
ance, and find he lays the blame
for the drunkard upon the poor
women’s shoulders. Now isn’t it a
shame that he would be so bold as
to step out in The Journal, in the
face of its many, many readers,
and declare that we, the women,
the weaker vessel, and who for
many years past have striven hard
with all our power to bring our
boys and girls up in the way they
should go, and now because we
have not made whiskey shops of
our stomachs we are to blame!
The writer believes that we moth
ers should live sober lives; be
lieves we should live a life worth
living; be high minded, refined,
pure at heart and ought to be
Christians, thereby teaching and
training our boys and girls that
there is a life worth living for
those who may strive for higher
lives, refinement, education, etc.
I don't believe we mothers
ought to indulge in such things as
whiskey drinking, or any low, de
grading, wicked or sinful act, if
we want our children to climb the
ladder of success in this world and
make boys and girls that we can
be proud of and that may be an
honor to us in days to come.
1 wonder if Mr. Hindman be
lieves George Washington’s moth
er drank whiskey by the gallon?
There are many other mothers
of famous men and of the great
men of our country whom we do
not believe indulged in whiskey
drinking, and yet their sons grew
to be great and partook not of the
I evils of strong drink.
No, we believe quite differently
from Mr. Hindman in those
things.
Mr. Hindman says be bates to
blame the women for any tiling,
but it doesn't seem that he hates
to jump right into the columns of
your paper and accuse them of be
ing1 the cause of all the whiskey
drinking and the great evils there
of, just because the mothers do not
drink by the gallon.
We are very glad indeed that it
is not in his power to assess the
$25 tine he mentions, just because
the mothers do not favor the
liquor business.
And now we would be very glad
if Mr. Hindman could find some
thing else to fill his communica
tions and not cast a stone at the
women, but leave their names out.
I hope Mr. Klitor that this will
, l>e printed, as 1 want to give him
I a whack for being so bold.
The writer was very sorry to
read of the death of Mrs. Sarah
i Scott, as 1 once knew her and
i learned to love her very much.
Success to The Journal and its
many readers.
