In the public school recently closed

each to the little girl who improved

Jobe. The prizes were elegant and ap-
propriate and greatly appreciated by
the recipients.
| Miss Lide Keith offered prize, a
! gold pen, to the one in her department
who had made the greatest proficiency
in penmanship during the public school
term just past. At the examination
Mr.. j. r. Erwin, Capt. j. e. Richards
and Prof. Floyd were requested to act
as committee to make the award.

contestant for the beautiful prize, but

| full of joy, as some others were of disap-
pointment, when the announcement
was made. The copy books of quite a

provement in this particular.
In the Arkansas division of the
| Globe Democrats "What-Are-We-
Here For" Serial, we find the following
allusion to Atkins: "There is but one
Federal office at Atkins, the Post Office.
1t Is not Presidential Office, hence has
no fixed salary, but is supposed to pay
$3.50 year. There Is but one appli-
cant for the office, Mr.. Joseph 5. Peck,
who has been the assistant for two
wears. The present incumbent, Will
w. Stout, says he will not resign IN ia
vor of any one, and thinks the incoming
Administration should be free, II
they desire to make a change. Mr..
Peck is Democrat, bat his appoint
ment would meet the approval Of all
political parties. The people of Atkins
believe in civil service reform, and II
it was left to the people to say they
would petition the incoming Admins
tration to continue Mr.. Stout In the
Post Office. He has made very popu-
lar Postmaster, and attends strickly to
duty, having been connected with post
offices since 1858.
