FRIGHT CAUSES DEATH
Uncle Ben Sutzer was found
dead in the road near his home at
Buffalo in Marion county a few
days ago. Heart trouble is sup
posed to have been the cause of
his death. He was on his way J
home from Rush and was over- ;
taken by the storm about the j
time he reached the river. He |
crossed the river in a boat, and
had gone but a short distane after !
crossing when death occured. He '
was known to be easily frightened
hv thnnHur storms. nnH t.hp
mi n
position is that the excitement and !
over-exertion in his efforts to reach
home ahead of the storm, which j
was rapidly approaching, produced '
pioneers of the Buffalo country. j
BOY KILLS HIS SISTER
Rogers, July 4.—The 7-year-old j
daughter of Mrs. Mary S. Pinkie i
was shot and killed this evening
by the accidental discharge of an j
old muzzle-loading shotgun in the |
hands of her 12-year old brother.
The children had been playing
with the gun, which was supposed
to be empty, and had not been
fired for years. The charge struck
the little girl in the right side and
she died within ten minutes.
A GOOD SUNDAY SCHOOL
To The Newark .Journal:
1 noticed in The Journal some
time ago that Center drove and
some other places organized big
death. He was one of the
Sunday schools, but haven’t heard
anything from them since.
About tlmt time we organized a
Sunday school at Walnut Grove
with about 30 members, and have
I increased until we now have ijo
j members and more joining every
I Sunday. We have large crowds
I and the very best of behavior and
my! my! the singing we do have!
We have people in our Sunday
school from the Baptist, Metho
dist, Presbyterian and Christian
churches. Our superintendent is
a Baptist, our assistant a Christian
and our secretary a Methodist and
we hold our Sunday school in a
Methodist church house every
Sunday evening, except on second
Sunday when we meet just before
preaching.
If any one wants to visit an old
time Sunday school, hear the ver
ses recited when the roll is called,
see the interest each one takes in
our Sunday school and last but not
least, hear the little fellows sing
ing, just come out to Walnut
Grove.
The Sunday school, that blessed place;
O! We would rather stay
Within it's walls, a child of grace,
Than spend the hours in play.
The Sunday school, the Sunday school;
I t is the place we love
For there we learn the Golden Rule
That leads to joys above.

INCREASE IN RAILROAD EARNINGS
Gross Earnings For Last Year
Show $17,000,000 Increase
Over Preceeding Year
i The Republic says the estimates
of the earnings of the four rail
ways operating from St. Louis to
the Southwest during the past
fiscal year point unmistakably to
the development of that portion of
1 the country.
Even with greatly increased ex
penses, the reports of the railways
for the fiscal year ending .June 1,
which will be published in 00 or
90 days, will show a great increase
in both net and gross earnings.
Estimates of the earnings of the
four Southwestern railways show
that the gross earnings from
freight and passenger traffic dur
ing the past|fiscal year will approx
imate $124,000,000, an increase
of $17,000,000, or about 16 'per
cent over the year ending June 1,
J1906. The estimates of the gross
earnings of the four roads are as
follows: Missouri Pacific and Iron
Mountain, $48,500,000; the Frisco,
i $38,000,000; Missouri, Kansas &
Texas, $26,000,000; the St. Louis
j Southwestern, about $10,500,000.
The increase of the Iron Mountain
i alone is over $4,000,000.
uespiie tneir most strenuous
efforts, the managers of the South
ern railways have not been able to
keep pace with the enormous de
mands for transportation facilities
coming from the Southwest.
It is probable that the four rail
ways mentioned will spend an
average of $20,000,000 a year in
the next ten years on improve
ments. The Missouri Pacific and
Iron Mountain system will un
doubtedly spend $100,000,000 dur
ing the next ten years for im
provements.
SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS
To The Newark Journal
In my last letter I spoke some
thing of Little River county. I
will now say something of Seveir
county. De Queen is the county
seat, and it is a good town. Loeks
burg used to be the county seat.
In the northern part of this county
I sawr but little farm land, until I
got to Cossatot river. They have
some fine land along this stream,
though the bottow is narrow. The
country away from the river is
very rough, rocky and hilly. The
people are sociable and industrious.
Locksburg is on the De Queen
and Eastern R. R., and is a town
of about a thousand inhabitant and
in a very good country. I am now
southeast of Locksburg, and it is
not so rough here. But plenty of
pine grows here. The lumber in
dustry takes the lead here, yet
there is plenty of farms. The land
is canea iteci i^ana ana pro
duces from one-third to a bale of
cotton per acre, I am told. They
rase some fruit in this part of the
state but nothing to compare with
the northwestern part of the state.
I am told that crops are about a
month later that usual. They had
to plant their cotton oyer, some as
often as three times, but it looks
well. Corn looks well and is now
silking and tasseling.
i hope to be back in Indepen
dence county in this month for a
short stay as I have arranged for
meetings over here untill about
the first of September. I am re
ceived kindly as I go. There is a
Mormon preaching iu the court
house square atDeQueenthis week
at night. ,7. I. Martin.
