On last Monday, our friend, L.
A. P. W. X. Z. Beard, came to
the News office with a meal-sack
on his shoulder as if he had taken
the News office for a grist-mill.
But all these thoughts vanished;
as he emptied the sack and low
and behold twas two monstrosi
ties of the beet persuasion. One
measured 19 inches in length and
weighed four pounds and ten
ounces, the other one was not far
behind. That was the beet that
beat the beet, that beat the other
beet, but no beet that we have
ever seen could beat the beet that
Beard, of DeView, brought up.

Extra Locals.
Mr. J. H. Wood left Wednes
day for Searcy.
Col. John Shearer made a bus
iness trip to Augusta Wednes
day.
This week, the interesting
Medicine Show is at Grays; next
week at Howell and the following
week at Cotton Plant. If you
wish to laugh, go to the show.
On Wednesday deputy sherriff
Galen Patterson arrived at Wynne
with the darky Elias Wells on his
way to Forrest City. He had to
wait for the local going south.
While seated in the caboose with
prisoner, too masked men covered
him with pistols; another took
his gun and some four or five
others took his prisoner out. The
darky was hanged and thus an
other lesson is taught the colored
race. Be careful what you do.
On Tuesday, one Elias Wells
(col.) forgot his place in the
world. This is one of those loaf
ing negroes. This darky decid- j
ed to ride on a mistake, but Con-j
duetor Campbell would not take
that kind of currency, This!
made the negro furious: so much i
so, that he sprang at the conduc-!
tor with open knife, intending to!
cut his throat, as the passengers j
were getting from the train. The
negro at once realized what he j
had done, so before he could be ;
caught, hejwas traversing cotton '
fields. Hob McDaniel halted him
with a Winchester. He was tried
before the mayor and bound over
for the Grand Jury. Look at
Elias now and all for twenty-live
cents. Tis easy to get into trou
ble, but how difficult to get out.
