 Some three weeks ago he was taken i'll of typhoid pneumonia, and though he had al the attention that his father and physicians could give him. his strong young manhood was not enough 10 combat the disease. and he passed away Sunday, October $. 19o5.
 After his conversion at Madison in August, he was baptized br the writer and received into the Metho- dist Episcopal Church South.
 Young men who were themselves converts Of the same revival and as- sociates Of the deceased. testify that Arthur tried with all his might to live up te lis christian professional and their testimony is further confirmed by the absolutely peaceful death that came at last 10 release his suffering flesh.
 What comfort 10 me is the fellec- tion that l Was instrumental in the least in the conversion of this young man That l had the honor of re- ceiving into the church. one who has now become a member of the church triumphant. What an incentive to perseyere in the glorious work of our Lord until We too shall be welcomed home.
 Arthur's body lies ill Nyld's eeme- tery. awaiting the glad call of Gods resurrection angel.

Well Received at Magnolia.

Magnolia, October 7.-(Special) "Wednesday afternoon at o'clock Senator James II. Berry, addressed a representative audience of Co lumbia county citizens here at the opera house. The senator's speech was clear, forcible and clean. He refrained from personalities and made speech conformable 10 the dignity of United States senator.
 He first explained his attitude as to why there was no joint canvass, stating that since before the Fourth of Jul y there Lad been no effort by himself or his opponent to arrange for a joint canvass. He discussed the tariff briefly and touched on issues iike ely to come before con. gress within the next few years.
 He also explained to the satis. faction of his audience his connec- ton with the railroad assessment during his term as gover- nor, the part he took in the settlement of the States in. debtedness with the United States, and his position on the Hatch bill. He was frequently applauded and the reception given him was cordial.

The Farmers Union of Arkan- sas should undertake to improve the methods of farming, and ad- vance the interests of the agricul- tural classes otherwise than by the mere restriction of the cotton acre. age. It is good thing for the farmers to cooperate in this par tienlar, and if they will live up to their obligations they will assist materially in reducing the cotton acreage and in advancing prices. They can also improve the methods of farming and make their organi- zation what it should be, a real help to the farmer.-Arkansas Democrat.

LET WOMAN PRIMP.
By Cynthia Grey.

Men are eternally fussing be.
cause their wives spend so much
time before the mirror. But if
men were really next to the
great game of the happiness Of
the home they would line their
walls with looking glasses.
II there is anything on earth
that will take the snarl off
woman's face It is to catch
sight Of il in mirror.
1t may sound like rash
statement, but it is true. never
erless, that when the snarl is
taken from a woman's face the
crouch is at least half driven
from her heart.
Who ever saw woman turn
away from a mirror in a tenn
per? Why, she comes from the
mirror all perked up as if she
had been practicing peace, pie
and primroses."
l. lis just as natural for a
woman to strike her best atti-
tude and to make her best face
whenever she catches sight of
her reflection as it is for a man
to twist his mustache when he
goes up to bemirrowed eleva
tor. It's human nature.
The mirror is really a mans
dearest friend. But like so
many good friends, it's services
are not appreciated.
When your wife pours the tea
let her sit facing the mirror in
the sideboard; it will brighten
the meal.
Mirrors will cure u frowning
wife, benefit an awkward wife
rejuvenate an aging wife, and
bring the semblance of health
to sickly wife.
A woman doesn't care so
much how she looks to her hus-
band (after she has him laudedl
but when she looks at herself
she likes to catch herself at
her best.
So, wise men, buy mirrors.
Set them and hauC 'hem every-
"h"re. and let Aci r...~u.
