Williams’ oil wagon was crossing
it. One of the boys was
slightly hurt and three wheels of
the wagon demolished.
The bridge was built last win
ter by C. H. Johnson, whose
name appears frequently in the

Charged With Bootlegging.
Deputy U. S. Marshal Black
came down yesterday from Ft.
Smith and went out to Boston
township this morningand arrest
ed Mansfield Turner on a charge
of bootlegging, and will carry
him to Ft. Smith tonight
We understand that it is charg
ed he sold whisky to the railroad
gang near Cass, where so much
trouble has been given the of
ficers for several months past.
Mr. Turner is a justice of peace
of Boston township and his arrest
has caused his friends great sur
prise, as he has been a strong
advocate of law enforcement and
was apparently trying to sup
press the illegal sale of whisky
in Boston township and county
at large.

few days ago, taking orders foi
enlarging pictures.
Well, Autumn isn’t far off now.
What will the harvest be?
Young man, in search of work
go west now and work in wheat
thrashing w’hich is soon to begin.
What has become of the man
who was willing to let others en
joy life as well as himself?
How’ fine it w'ould be to be a.<
good, and as smart as Tom, Dick
and Harry.
There are some, we regret to
say, who never seem to think oi
the Golden rule that we should
treat others, as we would wish
to be treated.
Glad to know that the literaries
are flourishing so well in this
country. And then you know
it makes buggy riding more in
teresting.
What can be better than an
attractive, productive little farm
of your own and the quiet cheer

cool weather we have had since
has also been appreciated
Mr. John Blair, who lived near
White Oak, a few years ago, is
now at Russell, Kans., and he
has written back to his sister
here, Mrs. Jemina Anderson,
that the wheat crop out there, is
unusually heavy this year. At
the time of the receipt of his

where he is located, and he stat
ed that field hands were badly
needed.
It was with regret and sadness
that we learned of the recent

he was thoroughly honest and
| well respected by all who knew
him. Mr. Rowe was well ad
vanced in years, being about
eighty yeaw old. and it is said
he had not been well all summer.
He leaves ten children, a few ot
; whom 1 will mention. His son.
Hawey lives at present at

at present near Van Buren, and
another daughter lives neat
