Harvey Martin Granted Pardon.
Harvey Martin, convicted in this
county five years of murder for
killing Erett Malone at a social
just west of Huttig. and sentenced
to 21 years in the penitentiary,
was granted a pardon last week by
Gov. Donagbey. The pardon was
granted on the recommendation of
judge, prosecuting attorney and
part of the jury which tried him.
also a large number of citizens
who stated that sufficient punish
ment had been administered for the
crime committed. Harvey arrived
home Saturday afternoon on a
short visit with friends and rela
tives near here. He has accepted
a position at the penitentiary at
$70 per month and wiU. shortly re
turn to Little Rock to commence
work. He has been studying
electrical engineering and declares
that his incarceration has made a
man of him and he is going to be a
good citizen.
late Planting.
Cotton planting this year will all
be late. The ground will harden
rapidly when the rain does cease.
Run all over the land rapidly with
disc as soon as team will stand on
top of the ground. This will hold
the moisture until you can get
planting done, will let in the air and
allow the sun to warm the ground.
If ground dries rapidly a little deep
er planting is required, but shallow
planting is best for a rule. Flat
beds are best. High beds give
warmth and air, but are hard to
cultivate and mean a decrease of
yield in case of even a short drouth
and more hoeing, which is costly
cultivation. High beds not only
are difficult of cultivation, but dry
out rapidly and the roots forming
in them running out seeking plant
food, find the soil too shallow when
they reach the middles, to support
the growth of plants, it is alright
to plant on beds, but before plant
ing the beds should be pulled dowr
by drag until the field has the ap
pearance of having been laid ofl
with a ten inch shovel between the
beds. If beds are lowered by roll
ers, harrows and drags, the seec
will usually be in good shape also
You can plant seed in a corr
planter and space them just as yoi
like if you will first dampen therr
and roll them in a barrell built uf
on a frame like the grind-stone
putting into the barrel dry dirt o:
ashes. Plant seed promptly afte
rolling, as when thoroughly driec
out the cotton fuzz will returr
again.
The season is late. A figh
against the frost is necessary, f
small acreage well prepared, plant
- ed in an early maturing seed, ferti
lized and well cultivated, will riper
eariler thin a greater acreage
thrown into a bad saed bed with
out fertilizer and grown without
. sufficient cultivation. Good prep
v aration and a greater quantity of
e fertilizer hastens maturity. You
. get better opening, a surer crop,
d more pounds per acre and if re
e striction of acreage is practiced to
the extent it should be, you get
_ greater money returns and that is
I what we plant reap for. The re
L maining land grown in peas, soy
1 beans and late corn will improve
I the soil and furnish feed for the
I ' crop of 1913 and make it a much
j j better year than it otherwise could
L j be for profitable farming. Making
j less cotton is the only way to make
better prices and this is a mighty
good year to t^y it.

Mrs. Mary Loper Dead.
Mrs. Mary C. Loper departed
this life at 6:50 o’clock Friday
evening. May 3. 1912. at her home
in Cecil. La., from tuberculosis of
the throat from which she had
been a sufferer for the past two
years. Her remains were laid to
rest in Union cemetery at 4 o'clock
Saturday afternoon, the services
being conducted by Rev. Clete
Smith. The deceased was 45
years of age on the 19th day of
March and leaves one daughter.
Cecil, two brothers, three sisters
and a host of friends to mourn her
death. She was devoted Christian
character and was prepared to
meet her Maker when the end
came.
Now to Relax.
Hurry and worry are twin sis
ters, and usually one is in close
proximity tn the other. The wo
man who hurries and worries un
duly is bound to have crow’s feet1
and a wrmkled, old-appearing
countenance.
"But 1 simply can not relax,’’ re
plies this high-strung, nervous!
woman. In a sense this is true;
she can not properly relax in her
present physical condition. Re
laxation is an art, and it takes i
years of patient cultivating in order
to derive its full benefits. Relax
ing and exercising go together.
One with strong muscles can relax
more easily than one with soft,,
flabby muscles.
Stand before an open window or
in the open air. and raise the arms |
aboye the head, standing on tiptoe,
and stretch up as far as possible.
Take a deep breath while raising
the arms. Now bend forward, let
ting the breath out while doing so,
and, without bending at the k.oeesr
grasp the ankles firmly. Do this
ten times morning and afternoon.
At first you may not be able to get
as far down as the ankles without
bending the knees, but if you per-1
sist. you will eventually. Every
woman should be supple enough to
perform this exercise with ease.
Life and Health.
Henry Ward Beecher's Advice to His Son.
Brooklyn. N.Y.. Oct. 18, 1878.
My Dear Herbert. You are now
for the first time really launched
into life for yourself. You go from I
your father's house, and from all,
family connections, to make your !
own way in the world. It is a good
time to make a new start, to cast
out faults of whose evils you have
hcd an experience, and to take on
the habits the want of which you
have found to be so damaging.
1. You must not P'0 into debt.!
Avoid debt as you would the devil.
Make it a fundamental rule: No
debt cash or nothing.
2. Make few promises. Religi- j
ously observe the smallest promise, j
A man who means to keep prom
ises cannot afford to nrake many.
3. Be scrupulously careful in1
all statements. Accuracy and
perfect frankness, no guesswork.;
Either nothing or accurate truth.
4. When you are working for
others, sink yourself out of sight,
seek their interest. Make your
self necessary to those who em
ploy you. by industry, fidelity and
scrupulous integrity. Selfishness
| is fatal.
5. Hold yourself responsible
for a higher standard than anybody
else expects of you. Keep your
standard high. Never excuse your- i
s< ’f to yourself. Never pity your
self. Be a hard master to yourself
but lenient to everybody else.
6. Concentrate your force on
your own proper business; do not
turnoff. Be constant, steadfast,
preserving.
7. The art of making one’s for
tune is to spend nothing. In this
! country an intelligent and indus
trious young man may become rich
if he stops all leaks, and is not ir
a hurry. Do not make haste; be
patient.
8. Do not speculate or gamble
You are going to a 'and where ev
erybody is excited, and strives
to make money suddenly,
largely and without working for it.
They blow soap bubbles. Steady
patient industry is the surest way.
Greediness and haste are two dev; s
that destroy thousands every year.
9. 1 beseech you to correct or e
fault severe speech to others.
Never speak evil of any man. no
matter what the facts may be.
Hasty, fault-finding and severe
speech of absent people is not hon
orable is apt to be unjust and
cruel, makes enemies for yourself,
and is wicked.

you go to Mr. B-not to learn to
manage a farm like his. One or
two hundred acres, not forty thous
and, is to be your future home
stead. but you can learn the care
">f cattle, sheep, the culture of
wheat, the climate, country, mau
lers and customs, and a hundred
things that will be needful.
11. If by integrity, industry and
well earned success, you deserve
well of your fellow citizens, they
may in years to come ask you to
iccept honors. Do-not seek them,
do not receive them while you are
young wait: but when you are
established you may make your
Other's name known with honors
n halls of legislation.
Lastly, do not forget your father's
ind mother's God. Because you
will be largely deprived of church
privileges, you need all the nerve
to keep your heart before God.
But do not despise small churches
and hum We preache: s. “Mind not
high things, but condescend to men
of low estate." y
Road often the Proverbs, and
the precepts and duties enjoined in
Lhe New Testament. Make your
Father’s God be with you and pro
ject you!
