HEAD SPLIT
 WITH CAKE PAN.
Will Robertson Fatally Struck By Another Negro at Southern Cotton Oil Mill Fri
 day Evening.

Two negroes, Will Robertson and Earl Smith, employed at the Southern Cotton Oil Mill in this city, became engaged in a dis pute over their work Friday afternoon about 5 o'clock, and as a result the former will in all probability die and the latter is confined in the county jail.
 Robertson struck the first blow, hitting Smith in the mouth with a monkey wrench, knocking out three of his teeth and cutting his lip badly. Smith had a cake pan in his hand, which he promptly brought down over the head of his assailant, splitting Robert sons head and causing the brain matter to ooze out.
 Doctors in attendance upon him say there is no hope for his recovery, though he may live for a day or two.
 Smith was placed under ar rest and is in jail awaiting his examination before the magis- trate. He is said to enjoy a fair reputation, while the dying man was hard one to get along with in the opinion of his fellow work men.

STORMY CONVENTION.
Union Township Chooses Wood Men Delegates to County Convention by Over whelming Majority.
 Bump Conven-
 tion Follows.

At 1 o'clock Saturday after noon in the county court room, the Democratic voters of Union township met in convention and by an overwhelming vote elected Gustave Jones chairman and Walter Campbell secretary. Jno. H. Keel of Breckenridge town ship had been placed in nomina- tion fer chairman by a Davis lieutenant, or rather, brigadier general, M. M. Stuckey.
 By the same kind of a vote, Gustave Jones, s. D. Campbell, Alcorn Ferguson, Dr. c. w. West and Dr. M. M. Erwin were chosen delegates to the county convention, after which the mass convention voted to adjourn sine die and was so declared by the chairman. The convention was called to order at the time ap- pointed, the place specified and by the proper officer, w. w. Dut- ton, committeeman for Union township, and there could be no question of it's fairness or regu- larity.
 A small minority of Davis men concluded, however, to hold a trump convention after adjourn ment and select delegates of their own faith.

SOME RURAL FREE
 DELIVERY FACTS.

In order to get the rural free delivery service there must be petitions signed by the heads of 100 families on the route pro- posed and the route must not be more than 25 miles in length. This petition must have the ap- proval of the congressman before 1t is presented to the postofice department. Then, if the roads are satisfactory and the boxes set up and labeled as provided by the regulations the delivery will be established.
 At present there are fifteen towns in Arkansas having one or more rural free delivery routes. About fifteen postoffices were discontinued on account of the establishment of the routes. The rural carriers sell stamps and transact a money order business as well as collect and deliver mail. Their salary is six or seven hundred dollars a year and they furnish a horse and cart.

Owing to the fact that not over half the precincts report the vote on the state ticket, it is hard tc secure definite figures on the re- suit. Eoff leads Moore for audi tor.
 Rogers will in all probability carry the county for attorney general. Byrne received a good vote in Bird township and Bour- land has at no point attracted more than half the Davis strength.
 Hill has probably carried the county by a good margin over Robertson. Carmichael and Bum were hardly factors.

 Miss Hawley, Mr. Anderson Martin, Miss Edith Maxfield, MT. John Morrow, Miss Lillian Wood, Mir. John Flayton, Miss Martha Bennett, MT. w. M. Ball.
 Crossing from the vestibule the party divided and advanced down the two side aisles, uniting around the chancel just as the bride and groom, who entered together, reached. The Lohen. grin march was used for the re cessional.
 The brides gown was exceed, ingly pretty and becoming, made en train of wash chiffon witt much handwork and lace. Her veil was fastened under a spray of myrtle and hung gracefully the full length of the train. The maids were all gowned in white organdie and the groom and groomsmen wore the conven- tional black.

About 45 men are at present employed on the bridge and more were expected today. It is a hazardous work and makes one dizzy to see the men squirrel ing" across the narrow stringers where one misstep would mean certain death.
 About six million feet of bridge and trestle timber is stacked in the railroad yards awaiting the completion of the bridge and track laying to be transported further up the line. Trestles and bridges are already completed for a distance of ten miles beyond the river.
 The river is behaving beauti- fully and the bridge people are taking due advantage of it. By the end of the week steel on both sides of the draw pier will be in place and the false work can be removed. This will leave only one span of false work in the river proper. Cotter Courier.

MUCH PAINTING
 THIS SPRING.

Preparations are being made that indicate extensive in- provements to town property this spring. The paint dealers and the painters are looking forward to a busy season.
 A prominent paint dealer, who carries the product of one of the largest paint and varnish manu- lecturers of the country, stated yesterday that never before had he had so many inquiries regard ing paint at this time of the year, nor had he ever known 50 many property owners to be con- templating painting. He was confident that the coming season would be a big one and he Tad put in an especially large stock to take care of his trade.
 Other dealers and painters in town have had practically the same experience.
 It is notable that both paint dealers and painters strongly ad- vocate the importance of property owners figuring on their paint ing early, before the regular painting season opens. The reas- ons put forth are sound.
 Early preparation, the deciding on the kind of paints, the colors to be used, engaging a practical painter insures getting the work done on time, and having the benefit of the improved appear ance of your house from the be- ginning of the season.
 The combinations of colorSused on house are of consid6ESSfe moment and should not be decid- ed upon hurriedly. A single trim ming not in harmony will often make a house an aggravation. Several paint manufacturers, ap- preciating thel value of this fea- ture, have an organized depart ment of artists and architects whose sole duty it is to specify good color combinations. Local dealers report that tits a common practice now for paint buyers to give them photo or drawing of their houses to submit to paint makers for color specifications.
 Another point in connection with selecting colors is that an early decision will enable the dealer to order any special colors he may not regularly carry in stock.
 There is economy, too, in en- gazing a painter before the sea- son rush is on. When the sea- son is in full swing and the painter has many jobs ahead, it is often D matter of speculat1n when your work can be t@4 n care of.
