County Contest.

It is told that the Reclamation medal two years ago had the win ner's name on it at Holland. can say that this is false and is told by an element that is against the contest to injure them. The medal at that time was given to me, but I failed to secure it at Holland as 1t was sent from Little Rock by mail and did not come until the-next week after the con- test, when it was handed to me by my teacher on the next Thursday. And my name is not on it as yet and if those parties want to see for themselves they can see me at any time. LEONARD BROWN.

The Batesville Guard is urging the establishment of state depos- itories, where the states money may be placed at interest, instead of lying idle in the vaults of the capitol. It is claimed that the in- terest on the various funds would be sufficient to pay the salaries oi all of the states officers. Hedged about with the proper restrictions, the establishment of state depos- itories would be great benefit to Arkansas.

FOR GOVERNOR GEORGE W. DONAGHEY OF FAULKNER COUNTY
MAIL ORDER HOUSES.

A week or two ago the Board oi Trade of Prescott, Ark, desired to raise a bonus to be offered as a premium for the first bale of cotton brought to that city. After having canvassed the city and secured lib- era1 contributions from the mer- chants. one of the members of the board, knowing that a large amount of money was sent every month from his county to the Chicago mail order houses, addressed a let ter to one of the largest of them asking that they also assist with a small contribution to this bonus. Their reply was printed in the Prescott Picayune last week and should be carefully read by every one who is in the habit of buying his supplies from these people:
 Chicago, Aug. 2S, 1907. MT. -, Prescott, Ark.
 Dear Sir:-We are in receipt of clipping which you sent, and in regard to our making donations, we wish to state that all our goods are quoted at such a very small margin of profit that 1t would be positively impossible for us to make donations for the different occasions that come up.
 In a large city like Chicago there is necessarily great many donations made, and you will find that Sears, Roebuck & Co.,, are al ways very liberal in making dona- tions in Chicago.
 We thank you for sending the clipping to us and trusting we may hear from you frequently, we are yours truly.
 SEARS, RoEBUcK & Go.
 The home merchant contributes to every worthy object. We doubt if there are half-dozen churches in Faulkner county for the support or building of which the merchants | of Conway have not at some time been called upon to contribute. Ii an unfortunate family lose their home by fire and are suddenly thrown upon the charity of the people, the local merchant is al ways called upon for aid and tc such charities as these they neve, fail to respond. They pay taxes al home, assist in building roads and bridges and in every way are a help to the community in which they live. To those who canno, pay cash for their goods and yet who must have their supplies, the local merchant sells on credit.
 How afany of these things are the great mail order houses credit ed with ever having done? And yet there are some-yes, many who seem to think that they are serving their own best interests when, because they believe they can save a few cents on purchase Ga matter, however, which is al ways debatable). they send their money to Chicago to buy thei, goods.

And bnked in a SLOW stupid way;
A vain little fly

He stopped that same rock to say
you're the ugest creature that ever / saw;
You clumsy and stupid and slow,
And Just how you manage at living at all,
Is a think should much like to know"
But the little mud-turte spoke word
AS he sat the stone in the sum-
He weariy bnked
thought he winked,
That a wise fly would let him alone,
But fly had grown nd of his power to torment,
And he buzzed at the mud-turtes head
Till the turtle at last short snap
And the critical insect dead.
It is really too bad that the fly knew
That turtle wiser than he;
For a creature that thinks

And because one chatter and buzz, and annoy
