Miss Grace Wells leaves today for Searcy where she will visit homefolks.
 The News acknowledges Q very pleasant visit from Miss Bernie Angus and Mrs. Harry Walker last Thursday evening.
 Last Saturday the News re ceieved a very pleasant vist from our friends the Misses Nina Riggs. Josie Angus and Daisy Clancy in company with Murray Petit.
 To those who seem to think the smallpox scare here is of momentous consequence, we will say that no new cases have de- veloped within the past week and those afflicted are well on the way to recovery.
 In our rush last week we failed to mention the fact that Miss Mary Harton, a charming young lady of Conway, who stopped off here on a short visit to friends about month since while on her way to visit friends at Charles ton, Missouri; Cairo, H.; and Forrest City, Ark; passed through town enroute to Searcy where she spent Q few days visit ing at Galloway college before re- turning home. Our friend Jo- seph Crossett accompanied the fair young damsel as far as Searcy. While there Joseph said dinner was indulged in by all the Galloway girls and al though he had a most hearty welcome, he said his nerve failed him. There were too many girls for Joseph and that is saying a great deal.

and one of the main and funda. mental principles of Democracy to our mind is, that this country is flor and by the people. We believei in the freedom of speech and of the press. Free speech is the very tap-root, the very sap, the very foundation of American liberty. Abridge this privilege, deprive us of this liberty, and the words "forand by the peo- pie" fade into insignificance.
 When we published the article referred to, we were under the im- pression, and in fact it was con- mon property among the citi- zens that the board had been purchased by a clique that has been trying to manipulate the county's affairs for some time past. And just why the Arkan. sian, the careful and never mis- informed sheet should attempt to decry US we are unable to say. However his most excellent sheet will never cause the earth to stand still. Misty r1ernoaies drifting back over the past, in- cline US to believe that the Ark ansian is either right in his con- tention or else that it at least has an excuse for making it.
 But the error admitted simply out of reverance to the Arkan- sian, we wish to submit the following: That some of the men at the head of the county affairs have become arrogant, incompetent and ciminaily cor rupt in their own selfish propa- gation is declared to be an abso- lute fact. Will the Arkansian de- ny this?
 The gentlemen who constituted the board, we are now led to be- lieve acted for ends common to all citizens of the county, and who were not seeking selfish and corrupt advantage at the ex- pense of others. We are for home rule and for rule in the in- terest Of the home as against those who have been fattening on the debauching of homes.

while James started out on a chase trying to sell "The Life of President Wm. Mckinley" this is another one of his many trades.
 Among other things Kidd tried to tell us of horses, for he saw us a comin', was that he could tell the number of miles ANY horse travelled during the day by simply feeling of it's left hind foot. Kidd is a great man but James is greater.

HEARD FROM.

While we have as yet not received a list of the "raising" we can not speak of it ss we might If we were in full pos session of the facts. Therefore we will refrain from saying what we would like to say. While we believe in equitable taxation, we don't believe in one or two men running the county, if such be the case.-Woodruff County News.
 Since the Editor has not received a list of the raising and admits tbat he knows nothing of the facts, we think he would do well to refrain from criti- cisms. The members of the board were not trying to run the county but were merely endeavoriEg to perform their sworn duty. Tie howl referred to vas nothing more than they expected. but the raise was necessary from the fact that the assessed valuation has stood at such remarkably low fgure.-Cot- ton Plant Arkansan.
 The unexpected has happened. A thing niscallad through polite ness for the editor, who is On doubt doing the best he knows how and that is saying very little, q newspape by the eupho- niOus name of The Arkansian, declares we were getting too fast when we published in recent issue of The Woodruff County News an article anent the board of eaalization. And To! He de- slres to use his odious rag to pull us gently over the coals by informing us that before we pub fish any article whatever we should rnn the article through a sieve to be sure not to print any thing that would in the least be offensive. This accounts for the very excellent and reliable news that always appears in the Ark Rnsiap, and for which the editor should receive eongra tulations Now, Mir. Arkansian the propo, sitlon you desire to harp on seems to be that part that says "We don't believe in ore or two
 men running the county, if such
 be the case.'
 We made that proposition in good faith at the time, end we hold to the proposition. We arc Democratic in our political views

THOSE OYSTERS.

III AuS uSbd our IIIG1QS ElRlS Kidd who can tell you more about the livery business, how to make a horse learn the tricks of the trade, etc., than an ordi- nary man can digest in six months, and Charlie James a young man who, when he has nothing else to do, tries, too raise the fallen angels by his eloquent sermons, partook of an oyster supper that Captain Kidd says they never will forget. As best we could learn of the affair 1t was something like this; By scrap ing the lining out of their pock- cts they discovered that between them they had the sum of 50 cents. Where they got this money we wont say, butit is evi- dent they made a raise some where. Well, they had the price of two dozen oysters, and not being used to such eatables they began next to figure how they desired to have them served. The waiter finally came around to take their orders inquiring at the same what they wished. Of course they both sang out, oysters simultaneously, after which they fell back in their chairs as if they had just captur- ed the whole of the Philippines and were at that very moment sitting down on Aguinaldo him. self. The waiter had been there before and soon came back at them with another question.
 "Raw or fried" sang out the waiter.
 This was astunner to the boys. Charley said he for one couldn t entertain such thought as eat ing raw oysters, He said he had just as soon eat raw dog. Raw? The very idea of such a thing" says Charlie. ''You must take me for a Chinaman.
 Charlie got wild and began hallooing like @ Commanche In dian in distress, But for the speedy intervention of Elvis something would have dropped, as quite 8 crowd had already gathered there to find out the cause of the yelling, wondering, no doubt, how many men had been killed. When they saw James and Kidd 3 regular stam- pede followed. Men were seen flying in all directions. And we don't blame the Augusta people. Two such men would make a corpse run.
 As we said, the coolest Of the two was Kidd, and at his sugges- tton they finally ordered a dozeu of each style with their 50 cents. We don t know who had the larg- est share in the wad, and if we did we wouldn't tell it for fear they would hayeit in for the edit or, and then there would be a strange face in heaven.
 To cut a long story short they got their oysters, and the only thing uow remaining of the oys- ter supper is a little ill-feeling existing between the two boys, for James says Kidd ate two oysters to his one, and well we won't say who had made the largest donation to the wad. One thing, we will bet our new neck tie that Kidd didn't get left. That ain { Kidd. Be gets 'em a comin an a-g0in.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-Trade in the wheat pit
was good throughout the short session and the
tone ruled uniformly strong. News was bull
ish and there seemed to be much the same
sort of market that started the big bull move
ment two weeks ago. Cables were we'll ad
vanced and the foreign demand both here and
at the seaboard was considerable. The general
cash demand picked up materially and commits
sion houses and professionals were buying.
The impression was present that much Of buy
ing was for Wall street This stimulated
local interest and sent shorts scurrying for
cover. Wheat was scarce in the pit all day.

Corn was firm but showed no such bullish
enthusiasm as wheat. May closed firm 1sc

Oats had a dull, narrow market. May closed

Provisions were dull but somewhat firmer
under the influence of some outside buying,

pork closed lOc higher, lard 5s up and ribs
