Whatever may be said mean about Sid B. Bedding, he is to be congratulated on the following, which is an excerpt from his speech delivered at banquet rendered on March 7th, by the Little Rock Board of trade to the members of the Thirty sixth General Assembly of the State of Arkansas: What of the future duty of the sons of Arkansas? In the further development of our State what Arkansas needs most of all is the spirit of state, county and municipal pride. We need more of business and less of politics. We need less of the spirit of partisanship and more civic pride in attempting to ac. complish whatever is best for all classes of our people. We have heard some people say that when they leave home and travel to dis tant lands or commonWealths that they do not register in foreign hotels as citizens of Ark
 ansas. The man who does this is untrue to his neighbors and his friends. We have at home all of the honor, wealth, prosper ity. culture and intelligence necessary to cause any traveller abroad to lift his head and say, l am a citizen of Arkansas.

In speaking of the SplitlLog Drag, the famous road builder, The Paragould Democrat says: The Split-Log Drag now on ex- hibition at the Democrat office has become the object of con siderable talk among farmers and good roads advocates. :" The wonderful simplicity of this modern road builder" is enough to compel the members of the county union to take the matter of local road building under ad- visement. To the right thinking farmer, no question is para mount to the question of good roads, and how best to secure them"

What was the origin of the words Uncle Sam:" Answer: In the war of 1912, Samul Wilson, commonly called Uncle Sam, /" was the governments beef and pork inspector. Albert Ander- son, a contractor, marked the barrels for shipments, with "E. A" for his own name and us 7" for the United, States. Wilson s workmen being puzzeled by these letters thought the 'U.

Your Sins Will Surely Find You Out

sF places, still it seems it is a very poor place for man of sin? for a man who is guilty of a crime to hide himself in. A criminal may flee, on the wings of fear to the uttermost parts of the earth seek a secluded and unheara of hiding and cover himself from the rays of the sun in a corner as black as midnight and conclude he is safe from the eyes of the world, and especially of the eagle eyes of the officers of the law, but sin cannot long be hidden. It SC ems out from mans soul like pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night" as large and as bright as the effulgent rays of the sum mer sun and makes public the hiding place of the criminal.
 Paul Stensland the wicked bank wrecker, ef Chicago, with considerable ability and plenty of money that he had stolen from his patrons fled from Chicago, his friends and his country and went to darkest Africa, but he could not escape his sins; like a pack of hounds after a fox, they kept after him in full cry they followed him with relentless torture night and day. There seems to be no shelter under the shining sun for the evil-doer; he cannot escape his sins; they will surely find him out. Every man who is tempted to commit a wrong thinks it an easy matter to commit crime and escape justice. he thinks he would be wiser and avoid the mistakes of those whom justice overlook, that he could find some place in this wide world that would cover him from the public eye. So might man hide were it not for his sins. for an innocent man, if occasion demands it, it IS comparatively easy to find a cover that will for all time envelOp him in a cloud so dark that discovery is almost impossible, but there seems to be no cover adequate for the guilty. No matter where he fees he can hear the hue and cry" I am criminal" He hears it at noon time and in the darkest hours of the night and this fear that envelopes him will by the law of God cause his sins to find
 
 him out.
 Stensland thought that when in Tangler, 5000 miles from the scene of his roberies, he was comparatively safe, but hardly had he settled down until his sins found him out and he was arrested.
 There are two classes of thieves the big thief and the little thief Paul Stensland was one of the big thieves. Those who pick up little things and visit corn cribs and orchards at night are classed with the little theives, and each of them are usually known to the public to be such, because their expression and movement show their guilt.
 If some people could see them selves as others see them they Wonld fee to new lands and build a different character.
 When the little thief was seen filing his sack, and did not know that anyone was near, or that the mark of guilt would show on his face, surely a voice whispered: "don't do it; that's wrong. :" And m dnn ht as he
