Mrs. Jefferson Davis. widow of the President of the Southern Confederacy, d1ed of pneumonia Tuesday in New York. where ske has been making her home for the past few years.
 The Republicans of Arkansas are bringing flo less d parsonage to the state to help them out ln their fight in the Fourth congres- slonal district than Vice Presl- dent Fairbanks. He is to speak at Paris, Logan county, on Wednesday afternoon of next week and at Fort Smith at night.
 Our Johnson correspondent pronounces as a fake the story sent over the country recently that a dog in collision near Carthage, Mo-, one night, ap- peared at his home near Johnson next morning. The News thougt as much when 1t printed the item.
 Gov. Davis, who recently made some speeches Ill Missouri took a side sweep or two at Gov. Folk of that state. Senator "Bill'' Stone and Gov. Folk are political enemies, although both are Dem- ocrats, and Gov. Davis IS said to be quite chummy with the form CT. Possibly Senator Bill has agreed to show Senator Jetf the town when they get to Washing ton.
 Rev. Sam F. Jones, the we'll known evangelist, died Monday morning on board q train on the Chootaw road near Perry, this state, on his way from Oklahoma City, where he had been conduct ing meeting. to his home at Gainesville, Ga. With him at the time were his wife and two daughters. The body was taken from the train at Little Rock and prepared for shipment to Georgia by special train. At Cartersville business of all kinds was suspend ed and the town turned out eu masSe to meet the train, and after the townspeople had been given an opportunity to view the re- mains they were sent to Atlanta where the body will lie III state al the state capitol to-day. The final resting place will be Carters- vile. Sam Jones career is we'll known. Educated for the law he 
 entered the profession. with bril- liant prospects. but lie took to drink. Finally he reformed, jolned the NJ. E. Church. South, and took up the work of an evangelist, in which calling he doubtless had no superior. He also denoted considerable of his time to lecturing, and was known from one end of tile country to the other. A few years ago he was one of the attractions at the Springdale Chautauqua. He said things that many people did not endorse, but uo criticism ever seemed to have any effect in les sening the number who went to hear him. During lis career lie made much money, but he gave much to charity, aud at the time of his death was said to be sup porting more than twenty-five deserving boys and girls at col lege. He would have been 50 years of age had he lived another day, and is survived by wife, four daughter, two sons. one brother and one sister. He car ried S5,000 life insurance.

Dear Sir: You are teacher: here's
one for your boys:
If the painting costs two or three
times az much as the paint, and one
paint goes twice as far as another,
how much are those two paints worth?
If Devoe is worth 81 so or $1.75 =
gallon, how much lie the other one
worth?
How much is gallon of paint worth
anyhow?
The answer is: Depends on the
paint.
The reason is: paint isn't always
paint. There are true and false paints
and shortmeasure.
How much is a short measure gall
lon worth? How much is false paint
worth? How much is D-voe worth?
There are millions year in the
answer to this last one.
Yours truly

There are people who are inclined to
make light OF the card of thanks, but
no one who learns the kindness Of

which prompts it. The card Of thanks
springs from an impulse to express a
great gratitude. and is Gil right. The
card Of thanks is provincial. but 1t is
none the less sincerS because it is not
