Worlds Re-
 cord Broken
Elegantly Refurnished Through
 out

The Memphis Comme ercial Col lege of 46 N. Second St., Mem. phis, Tenn, has now one of the most beautifully equipped schools in the city. It's desks and Bank ing fixtures present a most at- tractive appearance. The halls and recitati on rooms have all been newly papered and are very cozy and inviting. This school never does anything by halves, as is shown by the great number of first class positions they have filled during the past year.
 The worlds Shorthand record was broken by Mir. Webb William : son of the Memphis Commercial College. No student in any other commercial school in America has ever made such a wonderful record for speed in so short a time The worlds record had previous ly been held for three years by Mrs. W. G. Taylor. Both of these were made with Byrne Simplif- ed Shorthand. This system is now given up by all who have ex- amined it to be the most simple, legible and rapid one in use.
 Memphis, Tenn. June ?, 1906. After nine days study of the Byrne Simplified Shorthand in the Memphis Commercial College, I wrote 125 words per minute; in four weeks, 170, and in five weeks and two days, 1 finished the course, writing POP words, un- familiar matter-court report ing. I knew nothing whatever of the Byrne system of Short hand, nor did I understand any other system, on entering the Memphis Com'l College. I con- scientiously recommend the Byrne Simplifed for simplicity, leg ibllity, an d speed, an d tn Memphis Com mercial College as a thorough, practical and reliable institution. Webb Williams.

 l, stranger 10 all parties con- cerned, will gladly state that I held the watch, timing Mr. Will iamson in his record breaking speed, and found that he wrote exactly POP words per minute. My wife was also a witness to the writing and counted the words that MT. Williamson wrote.

Normal Notes.


 Will Coxsey and Mack Reynolds have recently begun a course in telegraphy at the Ozark Normal.
 Mrs. O. w. Kenn edy of Gilbert, Ark, was up Friday and Satur- day visiting her daughter Ruth, now attending school at the Ozark Normal.
 Ernest Baughman was a new student at the Normal Monday He entered for ten months straight. Ernest wants a di- ploma but is willing to earn ii right before he asks for it.. Frank Davis and Miss Althea Karnes of Kings river were among the new students at the Normal Monday. Each will make student of which any school might be proud.
 Mrs. c. l.. Scott has been en- ployed to take charge of the primary and intermediate work of the Normal. She comes recom- mended as one of the best teachers in this part of the state.
 The Ozark Normal always well comes visitors and especially at the opening exercises at S.45 in the morning. We thought last year that the Normal choir could not be excelled but we believe that the present choir is the best yet. Visit the school and you will know something about it then.
 The churches, the schools, the side walks, and the home news paper tell the story of the success or failure of every small town. What shall they tell for Green Forest? We believe that at pres. ent they tell of success but suc- cess is a growing thing and we must keep moving forward or we will loose what we have already done.
 A letter from Mr. Ernest Sit- ton, we'll remembered as the champion ball player of the Nor nal last year, states that "Thanks to Prof. Crawford's rec ommendation" he now is first assistant of the Dardanelle schools. We are always proud when sour boys" are doing we'll.
 Gold and silver do not make a nation or people rich or happy. During the last three hundred years Spain has owned and hand led more gold and silver than all the other nations of Europe together but has become the weakest and least happy of them all because her people are and have been densely ignorant and have lost all care for the develop- ment of the mental or moral side of the common people.
 It has been carefully investi- gated and found by actual com- parison of earnings that a com- mon school education adds fifty per cent to a mans earning capa- city; a high school education a hundred per cent; and a college education three hundred per cent. What mistake we make when we grab and save to lay up a thousand dollars for our child ren to squander and quarrel over when such a small sum would educate them and be so many times more valuable.

ito the grave. This is an important
matter. The press OF the State. fol-
lowing the initiative taken by the
Telegram, has long demanded such
action. The governor has also
strongly urged 1t. The people ask
for 1t. And there should be legisra-
tion on the subject.
A state railroad commission should
be created. Its powers should no,
be confined to assessment and taxa
tion purposes alone, but should ex.
tend to the conduct OF operation OF
trains. the safety of tracks and

Speaker Seaman of the West vir-

right thing-and the people will
praise him for it-when he told a
lobbyist in the house that he could

body again. The people should de-
mand Of the men who run for Of

serves praise just as Speaker Sea

the services. But this would likely
cause the church services and the
sermon to be shortened in order to
make up for the time required for
the proper arrangement of the
couture after checking the ats and
the many minutes necessary for re-
adjusting them after the close of the
services. A better method to adopt
would be to compel all women to sit
on one side. or one division, of the
church. and they would then quite
likely solve the problem in short
time and satisfactorily to themselves.

clarksburg occupies. indeed. an en-
viable position. To very great ex-
tent. every manufacturer finds the
question OF fuel enters very largely
into the expense Of operating his

To this class of manufacturers,

for successful operation.

four 90 cents per thousand cubic

great that experts believe 1t to be
practically inexhaustihle. The
quality is the berry best. and when
you take into consideration this low
price, together with the extreme low
cost Of handling same. as compared
with other fuel, the economy Is SO
evident as to make 1t OF vital inter-
est to manufacturers who need fuel
at the minimum cost.

OF gas, nature has also been wonder
fnlly kind to us. and has layished
upon us immense fields of coal. West

Millinery in church.

Peter Livengood. editor of the
Somerset. Pa. Star. has evidently
been disturbed and distracted in the
pursuance of HIS religious deyotions
by the large and varied display of
millinery in church for he protests
against the thing in his paper in the
following words:
1T is just as much of an annoy
ance to sit behind women with a
stuffed menagerie on her hat in
church as It is TO sit behind such an
aggregation of barbarity in theatre.

Peter thinks the women should be
requifed to remove their hats in
church altogether. This would like
ly be strenuously objected to by the
women, for where do they get better
opportunity Of displaying their latest
headgear to their friends and neigh
bors than in church? If Peters
suggestion be adopted IT would
necessitate the opening of woman's

The senate bill for two-cent fare.
with the fifty mile modification, is
an advanced step beyond the pres
ent situation II II becomes law.
conditions will he greatly improved.
The unconstltutionality. however,
of the bill is urged, but the counter
claim is set forth that 1t Is not I'M
constitutional. and some eminent
state jurists assert that even were
Its constitutionality attacked. the
courts could very properly do moth
ing with 1t, except to declare the
fifty mile clause invalid, and with
that done there would be a straight
two-cent fare law.
Against the Holle bill in the
house, which provides for straight
two-cent fare on all roads without
regard to length. 1t Is urged that II
is unconstitutional on the grounds
that short lines OF railroad would
nv dtiiNt suhltitht IHNtHuc " pay
the actual expenses OF operation, a
condition that would mean the State
by law had seized railroad property
without due process OF law.
Thus, the difference between the
two contentious is not in the main a
two-cent fare, as that seems to be
generally agreed upon. but is as to
whether short lines of railway shall
be covered by the proposed law. It
is stated that one of the main attor-
neys for the Baltimore q Ohio Rail-
road company, who is at Charleston
looking after the interests Of his
company. has declared In favor OF a
straight two-cent fare, or rather the
bill that provides for 1t. So far as
learned there is no serious protest
on the part of the owners of the
short lines. and thus. If the railroads
have agreed to accept the inevitable,
the two branches of the legislature
ought not to have much more trouble
in threshing out the matter OF DIFF
ference between them. and give the
people what they demand-a
straight two-cent fare.
