Bryant Bunch Wedding.

The marriage of Miss Imogene
Bunch and Mr.. Hardy Bryan, of
Nashville, Tenn, took place, at Har-
rison, Ark, on Wednesday afternoon,
at O'Clock, Jan. 1st, 1905, at tie
home of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Jno. A Bunch. The parlor,
which was the room of ceremony,
was simply but prettily decorated
with ropes of smilax, white and pink
carnations, and potted flowers.
Only the immediate family of the
bride, and a few intimate friends
witnessed the ceremony. which was
solemnized by Rev. w. c. Weat, of
the Cumberland Presbyterian church.
After congratulations were extended
and the bride had donned her travel
ing costume, Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan,
amid a shower of rice and old shoes,
left for Omaha, Ark, where they will
be at home until August, when the
work in tunnel b will be completed.
Mr. Bryan is a civil engeneer for the
White River Branch of the Missouri
Pacific Railroad.
The array of wedding gifts dis
played in the south parlor compris-
ed a collection of silver, cut glass,
china and linen. The brides gown
was of white satin crepe dechine, over
over taffeta, with handsome lace ac-
cessories. She carried bride roses
tied with satin streamers, and wore
a long tulle veil, fastened with orange
blossoms and lilies of the valley.

Petitions are being circulated over
Boone county, 1t seems in rather a
private way for signers to repeal
a law recently passed, regulating
salaries of officers. Such petition
does not state what the act to be re-
pealed is, and does not even try to
show the good or bad features, only
it makes things a little announcement
for some. Quite likely it does, if it
benefits the public more. | do not
know what this act referred to is,
but | remember we'll that a few years
ago petitions were circulated to re-
duce and regulate salaries of officers
in Boone county, to which, | am
proud to say | got some $50 signers,
and | made the race for Assessor of
Boone county on a $500 a year ba-
sis. This would pay the Assessor
we'll for all the work he does, and it
would be a saving to the county OF
| about $500 a year, and. other Offices
should be regulated accordingly.
Now, friends, you all know that sal
aries are too high, and that is what
makes men so greedy after office.
Don't sign these petitions until you
! investigate and see whether it is to
your interest or the other fellows.
We vote and sign petitions against
! our own interests, and for the inter
| est of others entirely too much, any
| how. Better not be too hasty to do
as somebody says, but investigate
more, and work and vote for your
own and the public good. If the act
was passed for the people of Boone
county, let it be presented to the
public so all may Judge and have a
say in the matter

Arkansas Legislature.

A good showing was made by the
Arkansas Legislature during the first
week of the session. Up to the hour
of adjournment Saturday ninety
eight bills had been introduced, near
ly all being of a general character
and of interest to the entire state
By far the most important meas
ure introduced aud acted upon was
the famous King antitrust bill.
| This bill was introduced in the SEN
ate Wednesday by Senator Logan,
| OF Benton county, read twice and
passed the folio wing day. 1t was
transmitted to the House at once,
read twice and made a special order
for Tuesday. Gov. Davis says it
will become a law one minute after
it reaches him. The omission of
some important phrases caused the
withdrawal of the bill Tuesday;
but it will be pushed in corrected
! form at once
The first bill to pass the senate
was a measure appropriating $780,
600 to pay the expenses of the pres
ent General Assembly.
A bill introduced by Senator lobe,
provides for a change in the name of
the state lunatic asylum. The name
fixed in the bill is the State Hos
pital for Nervous Diseases"
Senator Logan wants $5OO.0OO
appropriated out of the general fund
for the benefit of the public schools
of the state.
House bill No. 7, introduced by
Mr.. Burns, repeals the law which
was passed two years ago providing
for the establishment of several new
| chanCery court districts.
Representative Hazel wants the
state tax for general purposes re-
duced from 214 to a m.
Mr. Meade wants pistol toters''
imprisoned in the penitentiary, and
has introduced a bill for that pur-
pose.
Mr.. Greene has introduced bill to
amend the digest so as to to allow
circuit Judges a salary of So, 500 in
stead of $4,000.
Representative EdmOnston, of
Stone county, has introduced a bill
to raise tax levy for confederate
pensions from "a mill to one mill.
Mr. Fuller, of Carroll county, has
introduced bill to regulate charges
on long distance telephone lines.
A concurrent resolution has been
passed providing for the appoint
ment of a joint committee to draft a
general road law to apply 20 every
county in the state and to supersede
all present laws on the same subject

Discovering New Stars

Few people realize what hard job
it is to discover a new star; not in the
theatrical fiTmament-any good, handy
press agent can discover one there al
most any bright evening-but in the
vast and bOundIeSs dome above.
Night after night the patient explorer
must sweep the starry heaxens with a
telescope; a carpet sweeper positively
will not do. While the world is snoring
away at the rate of forty miles an hour
he must keep watching for some pa
tient little star that is sitting all alone
out in the cold waiting to be discov-
cred.
And after it is found the discOverer
must check off about a million of those
already known to make certain that II
has not been discovered before 1t is
enough to give a man who likes tc
sleep nights the headache to think
about it

w. l.. Potter Dead.

After an illness of a week, W. l..
Potter, the well-known prospector
and miner passed peacefully away on
Monday last at the Hayles hotel.
Capt. Potter was born in the state
of New York rs years ago last Octo-
ber He lived in Kansas at the cut
break of the civil war, but became a
confederate soldier and at the close
was commander of a company. Dur
ing the war ne Travelled much over
the mountains of Arkansas, and be-
came convinced that there was min
eral here In great quantities; actuat-
ed by a desire to demonstrate this
theory, he came to Boone county in
1874, since which time he has work
ed and hoped as only a miner can.
He discovered and developed many
valuable properties, notable among
which was the Empire Lode, of the
Sugar Orchard district, but as is too
often the case, little of the profits OF
his labor fell to him, and he died a
poor man. HIS rugged character in
cluded many good qualities, and he
had many warm friends in all parts
of the field
He leaves son and two daughters
to mourn him. Mrs. c, ]. McMinn, OF
Pittsburg, Kan, who was here to at
tend his funeral, Mrs. H. E. Towner,
of Denver, Col, and W. E. Potter,
| of Kansas CITY.
Mrs. McMinn wishes us to thank
the friends who so kindly cared for
her father during his sickness, and
comforted her during the last sad
rites of his burial

MINING NOTES.

A few cross-country turnpikes in
North Arkansas would assist much
in developing the country.
4 The high price of zinc ore has caus-
ed increased activity in the mining
regions of North Arkansas.
The Maumee mining company is
working all the hands they can get
these davs on their new mill.
I Fine zinc ore and in large quanti-
ties is now being taken out of the
Davy Crockett in Searcy county.
Hodges Bros. are delighted with
the showing they have been able to
make on the North Star of Searcy
county. This mine is on land leased
from the United Zinc Co.
Our friend S l. Ritchey, of Garnet,
Montana, who has large holdings of
Arkansas zinc lands, writes that he
Will try to visit us this spring and
figure on development He has been
busy last year trying to gel to the
bottom" of his copper mines, and
says the last carload of ore therefrom
brought $225.OO without any
sorting.
A special dispatch from Joplin says
the highest price ever paid for zinc
ore was recorded in the Joplin dis
tr1ct last week when several lots of
ore sold at 500 per ton. One lot is
reported to have sold for S57 per
ton. The zinc ore market is on an
other boom, and there is a possibil-
ity that as high as $50 will yet be
paid for top grades The storm has
caused many of the plants to shut
down, and consequently the output
was light. Zinc ore will be a scarce
article during the next week or ten
DAYS
There are some mines in this field
that should now do business, or else
retire from the advertising lists as
valuable properties. North Arkan-
sas has been injured through non
operated mines for years and years,
and it is fitting that the owners do

blocks have driven out good men
who ''bucked" because mills have
been idle and deposits have not
been wOrked.-YeHViIie Republican.
