In a little town in Tenn,
essee, as soon as the news
had spread that Hobson had
made a cork out of the Mer-
rimac, the old maids and
other spinsters at once or
ganized a "Hobson literary
society" Now the thing
has got mad, turned up it's
nose and quit the field.
They say that Hobson has
'osculated' with entirely too
many pretty girls, conse'
quently they became dis
gusted and the Hobson liter
airy society is a dead issue.
What a pity Hobson didn't
stray over into Tennessee
and run the kissing racket
awhile with the feminine
portion Of Mansfield.

TO TEACHERS.

have been talking with
Some of tn? teachers of our
county about runnirG our
educational department in
the Sharp County Record. =
l mentioned it to the ed
itor of the Record, ard he
kindly offers us as s. 'rhdth
space each. week as we want,
or at least three columns.
. Now, | believe that we
can greatly benefit Ourselves
by making use of the space
offered by the Records .&There
are points in most of the
branches we teach, and es-
pecially in arithmetic and
grammar, that perhaps, none
of us understand any too
well, and possibly some Of us
do not understand as well as
we ought. some things we
try to teach. We as: teach
ers are duty-bouhd to use
every means that is within
our reach to advance the
cause of education in our
county, and it seems to me
that by making use of this
opportunity t O exchange
ideas and methods of teach
ing, and other points which
we may not'underStand, We
can make it worth as much
to us each week as an insti'
tute would be worth.
But we should work sys'
tematically, We S h ouI d
agree on some one as super
inttndent, and let each teach
er serd his contribution to
him for inspection and cor
rectior, it any correction be
needed, and let the superin-
tendent send it to the editor
of the Record. ! shall take
the liberty to nomlnate| Prof,
@. W. Alcorn, Of Cave City,
for superintendent. -.
Now, every teacher in the
county who feels an interest
in this matter may send his
vote to me for the teacher
he would like for superln-
tendent, and | will announce
the result in the Record.
Let every interested teacher
act promptly in order that
we may become organized as
soon as possible.

all the teachers as soou as it
is possible for You to write,

The Record, together with
a majority of the people Of
this part of the state, regrets
that Hon. Thomas |. Herrn,
of this county, was not
elec ted speaker Of the House

Herrn is an able man and a
recognized leader in the af-
fairs of the state, and his
popularity with his own
people is shown when it is
known that he is now serving
his third term in the Arkan-
sas legislature from this
county, having been elected
for a third term over as
good men as the county al

The contest for sergeant

The selection Of janitor IN
the senate was a surprise.
J. J. Lewis, of Randolph

himself, has the distinction
of securing the nomination
without the asking, Some
time ago Lewis went to
Fayetteville to attend the
university, hoping to secure
work to support himself
while pursuing his studies.
Failing to get employment,
he was forced to leave the
school. He went to Little
Rock, stated his desire to

hoping to get the position OF

him janltor.

The Mozart Singing Society last night
celebrated Its eighteenth anniversary
by an elaborate entertainment ut It's
hall, at the corner OF Thlrty-eightli and
Jacob streets. The attendance was very
large ana fine musical programme
was rendered. the Arion and Beethoven
societies assisting the Mozart. Previous
to the concert the ladies' section served
supper from to s p. M, and dancing
brought the successful affair 20 close.
This society was organized eighteen
years ago by number OF German
American citizens OF the South Side.
The meetings were first held in Notes

society took up its quarters in the pres
ent hail. which previously was known
as Westwood's hall. and rs such is

two members. 1t now has thfr-
ty members, and an associate MEM
bcrshlp of $50. Its first president was
Mr.. Charles Horstmunn, who continues
to be an energetic Mozart The first
musical director was Prof. Louis Faas,
now 4 resident Of Beilaire. The society's
first secretary was the late Charles

old Corcordia and Licderkranz soc'et'
ties, the L!ederkranz succeeding the
Concordia. Both were short-livcd and
the Mozart arose from their ashes The
impulse TO the Concordia'S formation
was given when Il disscnson arose in
the choir of the St. Paurs German Lu
theran church. the retiring members or
gambling the Concortia. Then came the
LlederkraD2 after the other socieiy's
demise. and the charter members of the
Mozart represented those connected
with the other organizations.
The objects OF the society are the
promotion Of sdcfabfiity among the
members and the keeping alive OF the
German language and the customs oil
the Fatherland. Music Is made the
magnet around which the other enjoy
mcnts c0Hgregate. Tie society was
never in so good Il condition. financially
and otherwise. as at present. Nearly
two years ago ladies' section WAS or
sanized and the ladies have been to the
fore as entertainers. The Mozart Is not
so old rs the Arion or Beethoven, the
latter being The oldest in this city.

Sunday Trading.

A German shopkeeper went one Sun
day morning to a customer in order to
demand the payment Of a long neglect
ed account. The police heard of this
and regarded it as a violation Of the
new law against trading during the
hours Of worship. The offender was
cited and fined. He appealed to the
kammergericht, and was discharged as
innocent. What the law expressly for
lids, said the kammergericht, is any
public or open labor or trading within
the prescribed time.
On the police Interpretation two men
who talked incidentally about their
business relations on Sunday morning
on their way to church might be arrest
ed as violators of the law, which would
be palpably tyrannical and absurd. This
recalls the good old tale of two Sabba-
tartan farmers who hit upon a casuisti-
cal method of doing trade on the Lords
day without breaking the fourth COM
mandment. "What would you give for
that calf asked one, eff it were not
the Sabbath2" eff it were not the
Sabbath I would give you 70 much
naming the sum. Tomorrow, then.
we will consider it a bargain. Lon
