THE RECORD
BY CLAUDE L. COGER.
% U q h K E f P S T,

George Norris and wife are the
happy parents of a new son.
The recent hailstorm did lots OF
damage te crops east of here.
At the recent school meeting
in district 2 tax of two and a
half mills for teachers wages
was voted and C. j. Norris was
elected director.
George Johnson and family are
now residents of Indian Territory.
This place has lost good busi-
ness man, but we wish him sue
cess in his new home.
Farm work is very much be-
hind. Cotton has about half
come up, and since the recent
rains if the remainder does not
come up, the crop will be one
half short of last year.
Peace and harmony prevailed
at the recent meeting of the
Farmers Union at the Institute
in Strawberry township. There
was a full representation from
over the county. The organiza-
ton is growing, and the appear
ance is now that the entire farm
ing population will soon belong
to it.
What fools we mortals be! We
had always been taught and
thought that it took a decision Of
the Supreme Court of the state to
decide the constitutionality Of
law, but now we see any justice
of the peace can set laws aside at
will. We fail to see where }. P's
in other states have set any laws
aside, but the method will spread
and become general.

WOMAN MURDERED.
Stabbed Through the Heart in her OWE
Room at Little Rock.

Mrs. Charlotte Leetham, owner
and proprietoress of the Drum
mers' Hotel at Little Rock, was
found dead in her room Monday
morning. Her body was lying
on the floor, and she had been
stabbed through the heart In
connection with the woman's
death, the following from a Little
Rock paper is of interest;
During the last session OF the
legislature it was an open secret
that the socalled 'boOdling gang
had It's headquarters in a room
adjoining that of Mrs. Leetham,
Some CT the conferences of the
alleged "boodlers" are even said
to have been held in the apart
ments of Mrs. Leetham.
The woman undoubtedly knew
all the inside5 of the underhand-
ed work which is said to have
been plotted, and had she ever
been summoned before the grand
jury it is believed that she could
have sent some prominent men to
the penitentiary. With the pres
ent Investigation of "boodling"
under way she assumed the po-
sition of one who held the desti-
nios of a clique in her hand,

written on the ticket. Defendant said
that only the person who was named on
the ticket as the purchaser had the right
