Why Santa Claus Is True.

There is nothing truer, or more wholesome, or more far reaching, or more educative, than creations of sane and healthy imagina- tion. The legend of Santa Claus is true for the reason that it con- meets the childish mind with the mysteries of religion, and is long step in the direction of real belief. The farmer is not only a firm believer in Santa Claus, who is a part of great christian fes- tiyal, but he believes also in fair ies, and the basis of that belief is very simple, How could healthy imagination invent any thing that has no trace of truth in it? How can the ideals of youth and of old age lend them selves so cunningly to a scheme that is false? Let any right minded person think the matter over, and it will be readily per ceived that the Farmer has some thing more than possibility on his side.-Joel Chandler Harris n Uncle Remus's Magazine for December.

Rice Straw for Print Paper.

A new raw material for the manufacture of print paper has been discovered in rice straw. and it is hoped that this product may partly take the place of wood pulp, which is now growing scarce Rice straw has been used to some extent, but the cost of production has been so high that 1t was not practicable for ordinary purposes. A machine has been invented which has a capacity of five tons of rice straw pulp a day Demonstrations of this machine are now being made in the rice fields of Louisiana and Texas, and if it proves success ful the rice farmers will devote more land to the raising of this grain.
 It may take some years to de velop this new industry on a scale of commercial importance, but that it seems to promise ultimate relief, inasmuch as ton of rice straw, having from 32 to 34 per cent of fiber, costs only s. This is less than the cost of unit of equally available material from wood pulp.
 The manufacture of white pa per from a mixture of wheat and rice straw is also proposed as a practical solution of the paper problem. Western Publisher

it but voices the sentiment of his friends when it says that although Mir. lobe, his opponent, is man worthy and good, yet i'll the per son Hon. John NJ. Oathout the State will find a man just a little better As stated he is not aligned with any factions and We who know him best know that if he is elected the lowliest citizen of the state will receive as much courtesy as he who rules the masses. There can be no ques- tion raised as to his competency. He has been so connected with men and measures that he is fit ted to fill any position to which he might aspire. He has filled with credit positions of responsi. bilities ill this, his own county, and can and will i'll with equal credit the office of Auditor of the State of Arkansas.
 There is not a county in the state in which he is not acquaint- ed with many prominent people, and this added to his ability to make and retain friends makes the outlook for his election very bright.-Booneville Democrat.

JOHN N. OATHOUT. Prominent Logan County Citizen Announces For Auditor
 .of State.

The Independent takes pleas .nre in reproducing the following from the Little Rock Gazette and Bonneville Democrat, in regard to Hon. John NJ. Oathout's can didacy for Auditor of State We do this because the editor is per .sonally acquainted with MT. Oath out and knows that he measures up to the high standard in which these two papers place him. He will see as many voters of the state as time will permit before the primary election, and we hope he will be able to pay Car lisle and Lonol1e county q visit during that time.
 The Gazette presents in this issue the announcement of Hon. John M. Oathout, of Bonneville, Logan county, as a candidate to succeed Dr. Avery F. Moore as Auditor of State. Mr. Oathout has the highest endorsement of his people as a man, citizen and a Democrat. He has been a citi- zen of this state many years and while he has always been locally an active Democrat he has never been regarded as politician in the common sense of the term. He has never been aligned with any particular faction of the party, but has always worked with and voted for those whom he thought would best serve the people and the party without re- gard to their factional differen- ces. In other words his friends state that his prejudices were never so strong but that he could see the good in all factions and the faults in all factions. For number Of years he has been closely identified with the Masonic bodies of the state. His duties in this regard have given him a state wide acquain- tance and it is 10 his credit that where he is best known he is most admired for his rugged honesty and sterling integrity. His supporters claim that he possesses in large degree the qualifications necessary for this important and responsible position, and his friends have unlimited faith in his ability to make good" in the event of his election. He states that he seeks thenomiantion at the hands of the Democracy of the state solely upon his merits as a man, a citi- zen and Democrat" "
 Tn the above article the Gazette but mildly expresses the high re gard in which the above named gentleman is held, and to his  credit be it said that those who know him best love and honor him the most deeply. As stated above, he has been a resident of this county and state for many years and has always identified himself with what he knew to be for the best interest of his friends He has always borne uncomplain- ingly any burden his people has heen fit to put upon him and has never until now asked anything at the hands of the people of the State, and now that he asks the office of Auditor of State. The Democrat feels and knows that

Our contemporary, the. Salt Lake Retail Merchant, says that, at the late charity ball given in the Mormon metropolis, there were many present bedecked with diamonds and fine raiment who were on the uncollectable list of several local grocers. All of which goes to show that fine feathers do not always make fine birds, when it comes to paying grocery bills.

You will have plenty of spare time during the long winter to make plans, so don't wait until the rush of actual work is at hand to figure out methods. You will be busy enough when the time comes even if you have every thing pre- pared in advance.

Open Contrary to Law.

was in police court this morning charged
with operating his saloon in connection
with his hosterly last night, when be-

at sundown on the day prior to the elec-
tion, not to open again until the day

and kept to his room. John Powers,
who operates the bar, was also unwell,
and at home. The bar assistants, lack
ing orders to close, did not close.
