BUCKET SHOP LAW
Stock Brokers Bring Suit to Test Vali-
 dity oi Moore-Heartsll Law

Little Rock, Oct. 6.-Seeking to compel the Postal Telegraph Company to continue it's service to their offices in this state, Logan x Bryan, the New York and Chicago grain and stock brokers, filed, through George J. Meier, in the federal circuit court yesterday, a suit to test the constitu- tionality of the Moore-Heartsill law, the creation of the last legislature, which is said to have driven every cot ton exchange out of the state
 The complaint explained the differ ence between legitimate exchange and bucket shop, claiming that the former institution deals only in the actual commidity and contracts are for actual delivery and purchase. This action may be the forerunner of similar suits in other states where cot ton legislation has been effected. Georgia, Texas and Alabama come under this head.
 Judge Trieber set the hearing for November II.

WILL STAY IN NEWARK

Morgan Drennen, a lifelong citizen of Newark, has just returned from a trip to the new state of Oklahoma. where he went to look for location. After having seen much of the new country, Mr. Drennen has decided to remain in Newark. He has decided that there is more truth than poetry in the old saying that Distance lends entertainment to the view,' and that there are as many opportunities in Independence county for the thrifty man as there are in any country. Mr.
 Drennen is right. Men often run over fortunes hunting for an easy living. This is we'll illustrated in the history of the rich Pennsylvania oil fields. Once farmer owned a hundred acres of rough land. He had learned a lit- tie about coal and oil, and desired to

ANNIE MAY LEWIS

Little Annie May Lewis, daughter of MT. and Mrs. J. c. Lewis, died at her home Thursday morning, after an ill., ness of several weeks. She was twenty months old, and being the only daugh- ter, was the pride of the entire family.
 Thus, over a happy home, the shad- -ow of a little grave has fallen: and as another has said, it is wonderful how long shadow a little grave can throw. Much has been taken from the devoted parents of little Annie: the sweetest ties known to mankind have been severed, but much is left-the Christians hope and fadeless mem- ories are still theirs, and above all comes the comforting thought that her sweet spirit has only been transplanted into the Beautiful Kingdom, and that her memory but forms another chord to draw her loved ones to the brighter home beyond.
 The little form was tenderly laid to rest iii Blue Springs cemetery Friday afternoon, Rev. Jas. F. Jernigan con- ~ducting the funeral sevice.

SHERIFF MOONEY KILLED
Sheriff of Baxter County Accidentally
 Killed by His Own Pistol

E. w. Mooney, sheriff of Baxter count, was accidently shot and in- stantly killed Sunday at Holdenville, 1. T., while on a train en route with prisoner whom he was taking to Mountain Home.
 The prisoner was one who broke jail at Mountain Home some time ago and fled to Mexico. From there he was traced through several states and was finally located in Indian Territory. Mr. Mooney has a brother near Hold enville. and he visited him, and then started to return to Mountain Home with his prisoner, for whom he had requisition papers.
 Sheriff Mooney had his prisoner handcuffed and was seated next to the window. He was looking out of the open window when his pistol fell from his pocket to the floor. The weapon was discharged and the bullet struck Mr. Mooney, killing him instantly.
 The remains of the dead sheriff, ac- companied by his brother. passed up the road on Tuesday mornings pas senger, en route to Mountain Home for burial

The man who bought the property discovered dirty pond on the land, and subsequent develop of land one of the richest oil fields in the world.

COUNCIL MEETING

The city council held its regular meeting Monday night, with all mem- bers present, but no business of im- portance was transacted except to levy a three mill corporation tax. For a number of years five mill tax has been levied, but the treasurer's report showed that the town has balance of about Sl ,000 in the treasury, and as the ordinary receipts for the past few months have about paid expenses, it was decided to reduce the tax levy to three mills.

MACEDONIA CHURCH

Macedonia Missionary Baptist church, which we organized on tie 21st day of September, 1906, with 10 members but which now has 57 mem- bers is located at the old Macedonia graveyard, one and one-half miles northwest of Newark, in densely populated community of intelligent and first class citizens, full of enter- prise and hospitality. May their motto ever be Love, Peace and Union.
 l commenced a protracted meeting by request at the above place on the 10th day of September, 1906, and was aided by Elders J. C. Starns and G. L. Fink. The Lord blessed our efforts. and we had d grand meeting. We organized, as above stated. In the organization I was elected pastor and moderator, and w. F. Sisk church clerk We continued our monthly meetings under the harbor until cool weather. The Methodist breathren at Lebanon were good enough to loan us their house through the winter. In the spring we moved back to the brush harbor at Macedonia and held our regular monthly meetings until Satur- day August 10, 1907, when we com menced protracted meeting, and was assisted by Bros. Starns and Bell. The Lord greatly blessed our labors and gave us great revival of old fashioned religion. The people of God were editied and built up in faith, filled with the love of God, and made to rejoice and shout the praises of God. Sinners were cut to the heart and made to cry for mercy; mourners came forward, sought and obtained salvation and became the children of God. (How many I never did know )
 And as obedient children a number came forward and demanded baptism. I therefore baptized 21 candidates. Among the number were two aged sis ters. These were all added to the church, leaving four candidates yet for baptism. The church now has a membership of 57, live, active and enrgetic members, and bids fair to become the banner church of the coun- ty. Since the above meeting the church and community, realizing the nesessi- ty for house of worship, have gone to work and have just about complet- ed nice church house 2S by IS feet.

FARMING THE FARMERS
Some Straight Talk About Allowing
 the Politicians too Much Rein

Apropos to the recent discussions in various quarters with regard to efforts being made to drag the Farm ers' Union into politics, The Journal heartily comments the following, from the Cotton Journal:
 'It has been long time since the average politician has been so ex- tremely disturbed over the welfare of southern farmers as he is today. The farmers cannot have a public gather ing of any kind these days, but what the slick tongued, polished politician who wants an office of some kind from Coroner to United States Senator is on hand for the purpose of exercising his persuasive eloquence upon the ears of his hearers. In the local newspaper writeups of farmers meetings in the different states the past few months we are told that the meeting was ad- dressed by the Hon. So-and-So, who held the audience spellbound hy his .eloquence and perfect familiarity with the causes that the down-trodden farm CT has to contend with, and the terrific arraignment of those organized forces which have for so many years persist ently robbed the poor farmers of the products of their labor. All over the South these politicians are now busily engaged in the performance of farming 4IA Co, +ID seed of demagogical advice and fondly hoping to reap a whirlwind of votes at election time. They will softsoap the farmers now while running for office, but when they get the fiji e they will as politely tell their consti tuents to ''go to the devil" There are all sorts of political combinations be- ing formed in some of the different states with the farmers votes as the stakes with which to win the coveted prize. If the farmers of the South allow themselves to be rounded up by slick-tongued politicians and their emissaries they will be feeced about as badly as they have been shorn by the Wall Street crowd. The farmers had better do some thinking for them selves and look well into the records of these political office seekers when they are being so freely importuned for their votes.
 '"The farmers, to succeed in their present highly commendab ble efforts to better their condition, must hew to the line of modern business methods and steer clear Of political pitfalls. The office in politics should seek the man, and not have the country afflicted with the spectacle of modern political dem- agogues running the people down for office. When men are selected for of : flee by the people for their fitness and trustworthiness. we will get satisfac- tory results in bringing about needed political reforms with the peoples rights safeguarded and protected.
 The farmers must not allow them selves to be led astray by the silver tongued oratory of the modern schem ing politician
