AN OLD-FAsHIONED SPELLING MARCH.
A feature of excitement among the
school children of this town has been
spelling match, between the two
schools of New Preston and Washing
ton Depot on Calhoun street, which
took place at the former place on
Tuesday, the 4th. Each school was
represented by II pupils who took
part and the contest was carried on in
the old fashioned way, the first word
going to one side, the second to the
other, etc. There were two line-ups
and the first time the Depot team had
two on the floor after their opponents
had all missed and the second time
there were three left in the same pc
sition. The names of the three cham
pions are Nara Flaherty, George Ba-
con and Annie Tereck. A contest of
different nature may be had later,
when the same good feeling as was
evinccd before will be greatly appre.
ciated by all concerned.

An interesting Question,

An interesting legal question has re-
Gently been presented to the people of
this county. The question is, Has any
other Chancellor in the State of Arkan-
sas the power and jurisdiction to issue
writ of prohibition commanding the
sheriff in one of Chancellor Robertson 5
counties to refrain from levying an ex-
ecution which was based upon final
decree of his court? In other words,
Has one Chancellor the power to pre-.
vent the enforcement of another Cha.
cellor's decree: And is it possible that
after plaintiff in the chancery court
has won his lawsuit and got decree
from which the defendant took no APP
peal, that his adversary can get writ
of prohibition, more than two years
afterward from the Chancellor of an
other district. suspending the levy of
the execution? Is such writ of pro-
hibition void or valid? This matter is
worthy of public attention because all
of the people are deeply concerned in
public affairs. :
