IN THE BIG RED APPLE COUNTRY
The People are Now Busily En
gaged in Gathering and
Shipping the Apple Crop
To The Newark Journal
Siloam Springs, Sept. 19.- I am :
still in the big red apple country.
The people are now in the midst
of gathering, evaporating and
shipping. I saw a dryer here
where the peelers were run by
a gasoline engine, but most of
them are run by hand. Women
and girls do the peeling, while the
men do the heavy work. This is
not easy on them, but the fairer
sex is preferred because they are
quicker. This place is in the ex- j
treme western part of Benton
county, only a mile or two from
the Indian territory line. This is j
a town of three thousand popula
tion or more, so I am told. It is a
considerable health resort. I vis
ited the springs this evening. \
The are well cared for and the wa- j
ter gushes out under the rock
cliffs as clear as crystal, but of
course it will not restore old age
to perpetual youth. They have
some some nice buildings here, j
mostly stone and brick—I mean
the business houses. They have I
electric lights and a system of wa
ter works. The M. E. Church,
North, has the largest following of
any denomination and they have
a college here. All the churches!
have very good buildings. The
Baptists have a nice brick build
ing well located.
Most of this country is in or
chard. Plenty of rock, but some
smooth land. But my! the land
is high.
I hear of more consumption here
than any place 1 have ever been.
They also have typhoid fever a
great deal. I leave here tomor
row for Gravette to do some work.
Since ! came up here in July, 1
have organized two churches and
been in some very good meetings.
Hurrah for the gain in the last
election for good morals which
prohibition has gained over the
state. Old independence made a
good showing; and do you know
that I believe The Journal has
some of the honor, by opening its
columns for the question to be:
agitatedHere is my hand, just
keep on and the Lord will bless I
the efforts. My best wishes to
old friends and your numerous
readers. J. I. Martin.

HERCHANT ASSASSINATED
Marianna, Sept. *21. —1Capt. S.
B. Kelley, a prominent merchant
living in the rural district near
Lexia, was assassinated Thursday j
evening. He was between 60 and
70 years old. There seems to be j
no clue to the assassin or any cause 1
for the commission of the crime, j
There were no witnesses to the
crime, and Capt. Kelley was dead
when found. He appears to have
been sitting on the porch of his
store about dusk. His business
partner was away and he was alone
so far as any one knows. The in
dications are that the assassin was
secreted in the woods or crept up
on the old man and shot him.
The nearest neighbors, living
some little distance away, heard a
shot tired and went down to i.nves- ■
tigate. They discovered the dead
body of Capt. Kelley on the porch
and nothing more. No blood
hounds were available, and in the
darkness the assassin had made
his escape leaving not the slight
est clue. The old gentleman had
very few if any enemies, and has
lived a quiet and peaceful life,
which only serves to deepen the
mystery.

SUPPORTING A NEWSPAPER
Supporting a newspaper costs a
town scarcely a cent. Though the!
paper may be well patronized and
the business men may spend large
sums of money advertising, the
cash quickly gets back into the
channel of trade from whence it
came. Nearly every cent a paper
gets is spent at home and it goes I
to the merchants who delight in
benefitting themselves and the
community by advertising. Boil
ed down the facts are that a news
paper returns all the money it
gets, and its work of building up
the town is thrown in for good
will.—Mariana Index.

A CURIOSITY
To The Newark Journal:
I want you watermelon men to
go way back and sit down while I
talk a little. I think I have the
master watermelon vine ever
grown in Arkansas.
I have a pasture of one and a1
half acres and near the center of
it came a volunteer watermelon
vine in the spring. The lot has
been pastured constantly during
the spring and summer by chick
ens, cows and horses. 1 am confi
dent the vine has had 150 melons
on it. At this time there are 100
blooms and 25 young melons and
the vine is still growing as fresh
and green as it was two months
ftgo. It covers about 30 x <>5 feet
of ground and has had no cultiva
tion whatever except the land was i
disced in early spring before tin
melon came. The melons haw
been destroyed by the chickens
and cows.
Newark is still ahead at anything
she undertakes. Now beat that
and 1 will knock down my sign.

GIRL IN BOY’S CLOTHES
Texarkana, Sept. 21.—A girl
giving her name as Mamie Stuart
was arrested here today. She was
wearing hoy’s clothes and was in
toxicated. The disclosure of her
sex followed her arrest. She
claims to he an orphan, and is ac
companied by a hoy 12 years of
age. She says she could not
make a living for both of them as
a girl, and so put on man’s garb
so she could get man’s work. She
has been working at a local dairy
for several weeks, plowing and
doing chores. She tells conflict
ing stories, claiming sometimes to
be from Texas and headed toward
Little Rock, and again to be from
Arkansas, working her way to
Texas. She will be tried on a
charge of drunkenness. She is
about 1<» years of age. The police
are puzzled as to her identity.
