Former Resident of Faulkner County Pre-

 Dear old Log Cabin Democrat:
 As I never see anything from this part of the world I will try and write a few lines. I have always read the Conway paper ever since the first one was printed there. My father, R. s. Pitts, whom you all know, always took the Cabin and of course I still read 1t and could not do without it, as I read the letters from home in it. Well, I like this, Grimes county, Texas, very we'll. We have had little ice a few times, but no such thing as snow or sleet. Some of the trees have leaves on them three inches long. Some have garden vegetables up two or three inches high. have onions, nice peas coming up, mustard, radishes and lettuce all up and other seeds planted. The wind blows almost all the time, but the rest of the time is like summer. l do get tired of the wind. think Texas is the most overrated state in the country, taking everything in- to consideration. The people here and in North Texas, where we lived five years, are friendly, but they won't visit you. I have felt since I have been in Texas that if one of our family were to die we would have to bury it ourselves. Now, don't understand me to say this is the way all over Texas, but I have lived in three counties and found them the same. Give me good old Arkansas all the time, where her people are the same good and neighborly people al- ways. l don't see how anybody can come to Texas and look for themselves then move here. AL though her lands are fine, some of 1t, 1 have seen more land in Texas that was no account than l ever saw in Arkansas. We came from Faulkner county to Texas by land and I know what kind of land 1t contains. We'll, if am able next winter I will go to Arkansas on a visit and I will tell you all what 1 think of Texas. I want to go out there and drink some good water once more, as that is one thing you never get here unless you have cistern. Well, I will close be- fore I weary the Editors patience.
 My friends will read this and re- member, MRS. M. L. JOLLY,
 nee Mary l.. Pitts.

Obituary.


 w. H. Julian and children wish to sincerely thank their many friends who rendered great help and comfort during the illness and death of their dear wife and moth CT, who passed on February 24 from this dark world of sin and sorrow to one of heavenly greatness, where she awaits her husband and five children.
 The dear mother was laid to rest in the Pleasant Valley cemetery on the 27th. We wish to thank Bro. ]. A. Batson, who made such a beautiful talk at the cemetery.
 Our mother is gone from our home, and oh how deserted and desolate seems the home, but there IS one sweet comfort and that is the good christian life and instruct ions of mother to lead father and children through this old world, where there seems nothing but sorrow, to join the beloved mother in that beyond where there is peace and rest, where there will be no more broken hearts, no more sad homes, no more grief nor tears, no more sad partings and no more farewells, but a home of eternal bliss and happiness. Itseems hard now, but how great the joy when we can be a united and unbroken family in that home of heavenly rest. Hard, oh how hard it is to be without a mother. Well 1t has been said: What is home without a mother" The word of counsel, the sweet smile, the ever welcome voice to greet us as we would re- turn home has forever ceased and 1t seems almost more than our hearts can bear, but when we know how ready and willing she was to go we must become submissive to Gods will and say Mot my will, but thine be done" for we know that our loss is Heaven s gain and Heaven seems still sweeter since 1t has gained our precious one. Fare well, farewell mother we know that words are very empty things to ex- press our grief and sorrow, but may we all join you in that blessed home where you await us.

Leoend Of St. Winifred Well. I

A romantic legend hangs around St.
Winifred we'll Cradocus, neighbor-
ing prince, smitten with the beauty Of
a Holywell damsel and reused to anger
by her coyness, struck Off her head as
she fed from his unwelcome attentions.
The head, rolling down the hill, rested
near the church, and from the spot the
present copious spring gushed forth
as the earth opened to swallow up the
assassin. st. Beuno, who was passing,
picked up the head and, with a skill
which is now lost to the medical pro-
fession, restored the maiden, with only
a slender white line on her neck as evil
dence of the miracle. But not only did
the well spring from the spot where
the head rested, but the moss on its
brink was supposed to be possessed Of
particularly fragrant smell while the
blood marks on the stones assumed
many beautiful tints ON june re, the
anniversary Of the event Today the
well Is contained In a rectangular
building, and the wafer flows into a
large basin in the shape Of an eight
pointed star.-London Chronicle.

Wall street, long accustomed to SEN

the day had exceeded withdrawals by
$296, 900, and that the company had
been able to collect 223,3000 of out
standing loans SO that the net result

Less than fifty depositors were in line
all day, though many of these had
waite in front of the building since
closing last Saturday. Officials of the
company stated that the run was about
over. The run on the Colonial branch
of the Trust Company of America,
which is the largest branch in the in

ors that came to the company's Office

off and business resumed its normal

that banks win be in a position to
keep their cash reserves intact even

The fact that exchange rates turns
so quickly in favor of this country

spain,s canny Railroads.

In Spain the railroads do not lose
chance to make a little profit even in
the case of the nontravelers. When
you see somebody off in that country
you must pay for the privilege The
railroads all sell billetes de anden,
which are good for the platform only.
These cost generally centimos, equiv
alent to cent in American money.
Just why this is done it is hard to see,
because persons entering a train can
not very. well avoid the conductor, who
Is always making trips to inspect the
carriages. If person attempted to
steal a ride in a carriage, he would
have small chance of getting away
with It. If caught, he would have to
pay a penalty Of just twice the fare
between the point where he was dis
covered and the point where tickets
last were inspected. New York Sun.

DISTRICT COURT
Proceedings
IN EMMONS

Linton, N. D., Oct. 28.-Saturday
morning a case in claim and delivery
was called, being the case of Minnie
M. Keebler VS.. 1. T. CLANCY. The
parties tried to make up their differ
ences and really were only So apart,
but upon this rock the bark of con-
Citation foundered. A jury was a.
cordingly impanelled.
The case is about lone large, red
roam COW; Durham; six years old;
named 'Rony' has been dehorned but
one of the horns has grown partly
out. forming a stub horn turned
downward" Value, thirty-five dol
lars.
The animal is said to be unlawfully
detained by the defendant, CLANCY,
and the plaintiff wants damages in
the sum of twenty-five dollars. The
defendant denies that the plaintiff at
this time owns the cow.
After the plaintiff finished her tes-
timony the defendant moved that the
jury be instructed to bring in a YER
dict in favor of defendant on the
ground that the animal had passed
out of the ownership of the plaintiff
to third party and the plaintiff was
therefore not the right party in in
terest.> ~
The motion was denied and the IA
NOUS s'cow" case went to the jury in
the afternoon with the result that
they found in favor of the defendant.
H. A. Armstrong appeared for the
plaintiff and George N. Lynn for the
defendant. ..'..

81, The case between Veronica Keller
and Frank Prison is the first breach
of promise action ever tried in EN-
mons county. 1t comes from the
southern part of the county, the par
ties residing near the little town of
Hague. Much interest has been
aroused, the Russian settlement in
which the principals lived having
split into two factions, one favoring
the plaintiff and the other the de-
PENDANT.
In the course of the testimony the
bastard child was exhibited to the
jury. It's wide-open eyes were not a
bit abashed at the scrutiny of the
twelve men who will have so import
ant an influence upon its little life.
The badge of shame and disgrace
which conventionality so unjustly
fastens upon unfortunates such as
she, did not disturb it's thoughts.
It's luckless mother is not very
shining mark SO far as intelligence is
concerned. The defense, besides de-
1nying the fatherhood Of the babe and
the breach of promise, produced wit,
nesses in an attempt to show that
the woman was loose and immoral
character. To impartial observers
however, it appears that neither de-
Tense has awaited the defendant
much. +.
The case went to the jury late Fri
day evening and after celebrating
four hours they brought in verdict
in. favor of the plaintiff and gave hel
$3.50 in damages.
