Obituary.

On the evening of October 4, Ioo6, death settled upon the form of Berthal. the beloved daughter of Mir. and Mrs. w. J. Snow, aged 20 years.
 The struggle between life and death had been hard fought for several days, but pain had wrapped its mantle about her brow and sui fering had woven itself into her very existence. All that mortal hands could render was willingly and anxiously done for her recov- cry, but for some purpose, un- known to us, God in His wisdom has borne the priceless gem from earth rugged road to "a house not made with hands" eternal in the heavens, to be shining light in the window of heaven to bright en up the dark pathway of her loved ones to show them which way to come. Disconsolate par ents, we know your home is sad and lonely, but God will not leave you COnfOrtless.
 We sorrow not as those who have no hope, for she was happily converted on July 26, 1906. Since that day her life has been a living sacrifice to the will of God. In here last hours she talked of lov- ing Savior and the sweet songs, "I am so Happy in Savior's Love, 7" and Tt is so Sweet to Trust in in Jesus. "
 As we stood around the grave of the noble girl and watched all that was mortal lowered into mother earth, and heard the broken hearted mother cry out ill agony, something seemed to say, "gone, but not forever," for as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
 Bro Horton conducted a very touching service followed by her az ed grandfather, who stood at the foot of the casket covered with beauti- ful flowers, and sang without a tremor in his voice the last song he heard her sing.

INTEREST IN CONTEST GROWS
Over Twenty-Two Thousand
 Votes Cast to Date.
Miss Minnie Livingston of Conway Takes the Lead This Week, with Others
 Following Closely Behind.

Lack of space has prevented us from commenting at length on the increased interest which is being manifested in The Log Cabin Dem ocrat's $500 popularity contest dur ing the past two weeks. Up to Tuesday night a total of 9, 23o votes had been cast and counted and our subscription books show that probably twice that number have been issued but not voted. The rules seem to be well under stood by all taking part in the con test, and no difficulty whatever is being experienced on this line.
 Severalsof the contestants have stated that they will begin an act i've canvass for votes during the next few days. It is easily seen that no one will be able to win the prizes without considerable effort.
 Miss Minnie Livingston takes the lead this week, having moved up from tenth place to the top of the list. Misses Dorsey Morgan and Jewel Snow, however, are fol lowing closely, while several others are not far behind, and a little special effort could put any of the contestants in the lead by next week.
 The standing of the contestants up to Tuesday night was as follows
