I'd Abolish Prepsratory Branch.

To Abolish Preparatory Branch.
 It is said that sentiment is grow ing among the educators and legisla- tors of Arkansas to abolish the pre- paratory department of the State University at Fayetteville. This de- Dartment has existed since the estab- lishment of the institution. It is al legged that the abolishment of the pre- paratory department of the uniYersi- ty. in which is now taught the high school branches, will result in the raising of the standard of the public schools of the State and at the same time raise the university to its right ful place as the head of the educa- tional interests of the State.
 Up Against Problem.
 The Jonesboro School Board is trying to solve a difficult financial problem. The Board desires to erect a school house at cost of $25,000. The income of the Jonesboro School Board from taxes and other sources is in the neighborhood of $l5,000. All of this amount is requirea to op- crate the schools. The board is in hopes that the school tax amendment to the constitution, which will be voted on at the general election in September. will be adopted. With the amendment in force the school revenues of Jonesboro will be in creased about $3,000.

 We have talked a great deal about the careless and shiftess fellow leay- ing his tools and implements out in the weather. If the winter weather was bad, the hot and alternately wet and dry summer weather is worse. There isn't a wagon or buggy on wood en wheels that will stand any great length of time under Texas wet and dry seasons.

 Don't let a good man escape the Union The Union needs him and he needs the Union He Will make it stronger, and it will help him to carry out al his good mo0ves. The Union stands for straight morals as much as 1t does for anything else. That is what the women are in t for When the moral tone is all right there is some good work going on. Get all the good ones in to help make tie Union strong, and get all the sorry ones ia so that you can eliminate that ele- ment by substitution Drive all the mean men into the Union, and don't give them chance to do any mean. ness, and you have them coop ed. There are plenty Of good men in all Unions to manage the bad men of the community, and to make good ones of them.

Aaese lines has seen every one of the

absurdly ridiculous as to be I'M

Children's- exercises presented by
the Sunday school of Jimtown Bap-

were grand success. The large
roomy church house was crowded
beyond its capacity. Although
many were willing to stand up, while
Others were quite satisfied even by
peeping through the windows from
the outside, just TO enjoy the pleas
ing exercises.
The music rendered BY the Sun
day school choir was very good,
while the junior choir was exceed
ingly good. Many people remark
ed that the music rendered by the
little children was the best and
most perfect they had ever heard.
Jimtown has an excellent choir,
which is due the organist, Miss Ada
Rogers, for her careful t0lining.
The children never looked 50
pleasant and sweet as when reciting
and singing praises midst gay fes-
ttooning, ferns and roses. Every
one. both young and old, took an
active part in the program. The

Only recently the Democratic pa
pen announced that the combines
were for Dovener's nomination and
were fighting Hubbard tooth and
toe nail. Now, they come along and
say the combines helped to nominate
Hubbard and that he is their choice.
These Democratic papers having
called themselyesiliars so plainly, it
is scarcely even necessary to call at
tention to the matter. Their course
shows that they are mixed on their
numbers and that the nomination of
Mr.. Hubbard is the cause Of their
sad plight.
