The Hon.

Jefferson Davis, goyernor,a and undoubtedly the most popular Arkansan on earth. ar rived in Forrest City at To o'clock Wednesday forenoon from Memphis enroute to Oklahoma. He was met at the station by large concoure of people, who had hoped to hear the great Commoner discuss the issues of the day. But his special scarcely came to q full stop for the crossing and he speeded away amid loud cheers of "Hurrah for Bryan and Jeff Davis"
 The special train which conveyed the distinguished party was charter ed by the Oklahoma Democratic Cen tral Committee, and will be main tained on the campaign until Satur- day, when MT. Bryan will reach Kan sas City.
 MT. Bryan arrived in Memphis at an carly hour Wednesday morning ,sfrom Nashville, Tennessee. where he addressed a monster gathering of citi- zens the night before. He was escort ed to the union station, where he boarded the Bryan special. There he was greeted by the Little Rock dele gation, headed by Governor Jefferson Davis and Hon. Warren F.. Lemon. mayor Of Little Rock. Mr. Bryan at i. once went into a discussion of the plans of the Little Rocx delegation. He conferred also with the delegation from Oklahoma City.
 Hardly had Mr. Bryan finished breakfast, when the train stopped for few moments at Madison for water. On the platform were b or 20 men and women, despite the fact that it was raining. All rushed forward to shake hands with MT. Bryan. but q little girl, daughter of F. M. M.Chaney, was the first to shake his hand Out side the Little Rock delegation which met Mr. Bryan in Memphis, she was the first Arkansan to shake his hand. MT. Bryan greeted the others on the platform during the brief stop.
 No stop was made at Forrest City. although there was a large crowd at the station to cheer the Nebraskan as his special passed through. It was raining, but the crowd on the plat form surged across the tracks in the rain and cheered as the train pulled | past the station. A fair-sized crowd | was on the platform at Palestine. but MT. Bryan was in his berth, resting. | as the train passed. A telegram was put on the train at Palestine from H. | E. Robertson, principal of the schools | at Carlisle, stating that the school | children would be out to see Mr. | Bryan, and Mir Bryan instructed the | trainmen not to let him miss going out on the rear platform at Carlisle, because he did not want to disappoint the school children.
 The next stop was made at Brink ley, where perhaps 400 people had gathered in the rain to hear speech Governor Davis presented MT. Bryan to the gathering.
 Stops were made at DeValls Bluff. Carlisle and Lonoke, but no speeches were made except for two minutes at Lonoke.
 From Lonoke to Little Rock the trip was uneyentful, and MT Bryan rested through this part of the trip.
 The enthusiasm of the people all along the route demonstrates the won- derful popularity of this wonderful man.
 Hurrah for Bryan and Davis,
