MAN AND MONEY GONE
Express Agent at Hoxie Disappears
and 1850 Also Vanishes

Hoxie, Nov. Detectives are
searching for Harry Dotson, formerly
in the employ of the Pacific Express
Company here who disappeared from
the depot at the same time that two
consignments of money were missed.
He left here October 26 for Jonesboro,
ostensibly to attend circus. The
following Sunday the disappearance
of the money was noted. Dotson did
not return.
Shortly before his disappearance, a
shipment of 81 900 had been sent from
the bank at Popular Bluff to the First
National bank at Corning, and be-
cause no express is received at night
at the Corning station the package
was carried to Hoxie. About the same
time shipment of $50 in nickles from
Philadelphia to the bank and trust
company at Walnut Ridge was sent to
the depot under similar circumstances.
Both packages disappeared when Dot
son left.
Dotson came here last spring and
stated that his former residence was
in ST. Louis. He gave a $500 bond,
and was employed by the Pacific Ex-
press Company shortly after his
arrival here. Other local characters,
who are absent from their usual
haunts, are thought to be implicated
in the. affair. The express company
succeeded in keeping the matter quiet
until today.

Hot Springs, Nov. Thirty of the
largest liquor dealers in the city met
behind closed doors, discussed the
violations of the Sunday closing or

of the law. Fear that the prohibition
wave which is sweeping the South
would extend to this county precipi-

spite the drastic laws on the subject,
intoxicants of all kinds have been

THE STAR-HERALD'S APOLOGY

The editor of The Newark Journal is
con his ear" likewise the editor of
the Sharp County Record, because the
Star-Herald innocently referred to
them as being brothers-in-law. Editor
Craig of The Journal points out that
he has often been called squirrel
head, ''mut," and other pet names
equally unpleasant, but to be called a
brother-in-law of Claud Coger of the
Sharp County Record is absolutely
the limit. OF course it was a case of
misinformation on our part and we
will have to ''fess up'' and bow our
apology. But allow us to add, by
way of comment, that Coger and Craig
are brilliant enough, and bright
enough, and noisy enough to be twins.

DAY OF THANKSGIVING
President Issues Proclamation and
Urges Observance of the Day

President Roosevelt has issued the
following proclamation:
Once again the season of the year
has come, when, in accordance with
the custom of our forefathers for gen.
erations past, the President appoints
a day as the special occasion for all
our people to give praise and thanks
ging to God.
During the past year we have been
free from famine, from pestilence,
from war; we are at peace with all the
rest of mankind. Our natural re-
sources are at least as great as those
of any other sation. We believe that
in ability to develop and take advan-
tage of these resources the average
man of this nation stands at least as
high as the average man of any other.
Nowhere else in the world is there
such an opportunity for free people
to develop to the fullest extent all its
powers of body, of mind, and of that
which stands above both body and
ind-character.
Much has been given us from on
high, and much will rightly be expect
ed of us in return. Into our care the
ten talents have been entrusted, and
we are to be pardoned neither if we
squander and waste them, nor vet if
We hide them in napkin, for they
l Ell -, ha,
throughout the ages, at all times and
among all people, prosperity has
been fraught with danger, and it be-
hooves us to beseech the Giver of All
Things that we do not fall into love Of
ease and of luxury: that We may not
lose our sense of moral responsibility:
that we may not forget our duty to
God and to our neighbor.
IA great democracy like ours, a
democracy based upon the principles
of orderly liberty, can be perpetuated
only if in the heart of the ordinary
citizen there dwells a keen sense of
righteousness and justice. We should
earnestly pray that this spirit of
righteousness and justice may grow
ever greater in the hearts of all of us.
and that our souls may be inclined
over more both toward the virtues that
tell for gentleness and tenderness, for
loving kindness and forbearance one
with another, and toward those no
less necessary virtues that make for
manliness and rugged hardihood-for
without these qualities neither nation
nor individual can rise to the level of
greatness.
Now, therefore, l, Theodore Roose-
welt, President of the United States,
do set apart Thursday, the twenty
eighth day of November, as day for
general Thanksgiving and prayer, and
on that day | recommend that the peo-
pie shall cease from their daily work
and, in their homes orr in their churches.
meet devoutly to thank the Almighty
TOR the many and great blessings they
have received in the past, and to pray
that they may be given strength so to
order their lives as to deserve con-
tinuation of these blessings in the
future.

CHURCH DIFFERENCES

After all that may be said about the
differences between the veral

on the ground of difference between
the churches to consider West
