WOMAN BURNS TO
DEATH IN HER HOME
Aged Lady Perishes in Flames
While Attempting to Save
Property From Fire
Mrs. Dicie Kenney was burned
to death at her home in the Big
Creek neighborhood, west of
Magness, Sunday about noon,
when her home was destroyed by
fire.
Mrs. Kenney, who was 61 years
old, was at home alone when her
residence caught fire. She and a
grown son, Will, lived together,
but he had gone to church at Oak
Grove. It seems that all the near
neighbors, excepting Sam Knight,
had gone to church also. Mrs.
Kenney was cooking dinner and
the fire is supposed to have start
ed from the kitchen flue. She
could not hear well and it is sup
posed that the building was a mass
of flames before she discovered
the fire.
Mr. Knight saw the fire and
ran over from his home some dis
tance away, to render assistance,
but the fire was beyond control,
and when Mr. Knight reached the
burning building, Mrs. Kenney
had also discovered the fire and
had gone upstairs and was throw
ing some things out of a window.
By this time the flames were lap
ping around the stairway and Mr.
Knight was unable to rescue the
woman. No ladder could be found
and before other means of escape
could be provided, the building
collapsed and Mrs. Kenney was
burned to death.
In addition to the house and its
entire furnishings, the somke
house, containing a coniderable
quantity of meat, lard and provi
sions, was burned also. About $90
in money is known to have burn
ed, and it is thought Mrs. Kenney
had considerable other money hid
den away somewhere upstairs,
and that it was probably her ef
fort to save this that caused her
to lose her life.
There was no insurance on any
of the buildings or contents.
The charred remains of Mrs.
-*+—
Kenney were taken from the
burning embers of her once com
fortable home late Sunday after
noon and were buried Monday
afternoon at the Macedonia
cemetcr*/.
Deceased is survived by her
son, Will, and a daughter, Mrs.
Luther Lawhon, of Tuckerman;
also by two sisters, Mrs. Rebecca
Moore of Charlotce and Mrs. R. A.
Tate of Moorefield.

GROW PEANUTS
AND MORE HOGS
Page Says This is One of The
Most Profitable Crops the
Farm Can Grow
Every thrifty farmer in Arkan
sas should plant a few acres of
peanuts this year. Nothing is
better for the pigs and hogs than
peanuts. Plant the small Spanish
peanuts. Prepare the land well
and make the rows not more than
thirty inches apart. The seed
may be planted with a planter,
and should be about twelve inches
apart in the drill. If the land is
not too strong, they may be plant
ed thicker.
Two or three times will be suffi
cient to cultivate. Run between
the rows with a a cultivator or
double shovel, and when the
plants are large enough, it will be
all right to let the dirt from the
cultivator cover the runners or
branches an inch or two, if the
soil is loose and not wet.
When the peahuts are ready to
gather, the vines may be pulled
and threshed, or the nuts picked
by hand. The vines make fine
hay and all kinds of stock like it.
Another good way is turn the
hogs in and let them eat vines,
nuts and all; this saves the cost of
harvesting. Nothing is better for
hogs and it gives a fine flavor to
the meat.
The peanuts should be planted
about the middle of May. It will
require about 13 bushels to the
acre. It will cost from six o
seven dollars an acre to grow pea
nuts, and the crop will produce 25
to 50 bushels per acre. If the
hogs are turned on them and the
:ost of gathering saved, it will be
found that the value of the crop
will be from 75 cents to a $1 per
bushel. Try this crop once, if
anly on a small scale.
