THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
Basket Dinner and Fishfry at Good Hope Largely Attended. Judge Remley and Hon. =. F. Sul.
 cer Orators of the Day.

The Woodmen of the World and the Knights and Ladies Of Honor lodges of Caldwell, gave big basket dinner, tishfry and picnic at Good Hope in Johnson township on the Glorious Fourth which was one of the hap piest and most enjoyable events of the season.
 There was large attendance. and many from Forrest City enjoyed and were benefited by the hospitalities of, and mingling with that whole souled and splendid people, and they will ever be found ready to return thanks, reciprocation and appreciation to Messrs. Sattertield, Pippin, Gibson, pr. McDougal and others for their untiring efforts and hospitable management of this happy occasion.
 After the splendid dinner was over, and those in attendance had partaken of all the good things to eat, and the inner man had been thoroughly satis- | fled, there was yet void, and the au- dience hungered for literary food for the mind, resulting in a loud and un- animous call for Judge NJ. F. Remley to deliver an oration upon the anni- yersary of the birth of the greatest nation upon the face of the earth.
 After brief song service Mir W, X. Pace was called upon to introduce the speakers, which he did in his usual eloquent style. In presenting Judge Remley MT. Pace said:
 Ladies and Gentlemen: have the pleasure of presenting to you, not the President of the United States, nor the Governor of Arkansas; neither a United States Senator nor member of Congress-not one who holds any official position whatever, but one who is a fellow-citizen of our county, and not only is Ire one of our country men, but one of the leading jurists of our bar, and who has no superior and but few equals. This man has a fu- ture. This man is Judge NJ. r. Rem ley-now hear him.
 When Judge Remley arose, he re- ceiyed an ovation, and a shout of Hurrah for Remley, went up from the audience. Many have said that it was the best speech of the season; and in fact, the finest speech of that kind they had ever heard
 After he had finished his address, Hon. $. F. Sulcer, of Palestine, was called upon to address the people in the interest of the Farmers Union, which he did in grand speech, and was loudly cheered.
 After the speaking the crowd went to the church and enjoyed brief song service, after which they went or their way rejoicing over the days l pleasures and festivities.

4 DOUBLE HANGING.
Two Negroes Pay the Death Penalty at Marion, for Heinous Grimes
 Committed in Adjoining County.

A double hanging took place at Ma rion, county seat of Crittenden county, on Wednesday, July 10. 1907, of this week, when Will Kitchens and Jesse MeCollum, both negroes. expiated their crimes upon the scanold.
 Kitchens was tried and convicted at the April term of the Crittenden Cir cult Court for the murder of ]. T. Foster at Edmondson, which is in Crittenden county, on the l4th of last September. After the killing Kitchens was captured in Memphis by Patrol man Mike Miskal, and delivered to Sheriff Lewis. At the time of his capture Kitchens made complete confession, duplicating two other ne- groes, who have never been captured
 A correspondent of the Commercial Appeal says that while the court was in session Jesse McCollum was arrest ed, charged with criminal assault on Martha Stone, an old negreSs 75 years of age.
 He was immediately indicted, tried, found guilty. and sentenced to be hanged on July 10. At the time Of his trial McCollum claimed to be from Nashville, Tennessee, and the owner of residence in that city: also a house and lot at Saltillo, Tennessee. Subsequent investigation, however, revealed him to be liar of the first water, the only house in the capital of Tennessee, which he occupied was the penitentiary for two years on a charge of attempted assault. When released he went to the home of his cousin at Saltillo, and was chased out Of town on similar charge. Coming to Arkansas last spring, he To- cated on tifteen-Mile bayou, and while soloufning at that place attempted to assault ten-year-old negro child. Friends of the child got after him and he came 10 Marion, and after loafng around town half day, went across Marion lake to Donnegan's island, and committed the otfense for which he was hung Wednesday.
 The gallows is an old one, and was last used there three years ago, when Will Diamond, a negro was hanged for wife murder.
 Both of these negroes talked freely Saturday, and did not seem to realize that they only had less than week to live Both admitted guilt oftheir re- spectiye crimes, but neither alluded to the proximity of death,

SCHOOL BUILDINGS WORTH MORE
 THAN MILLION BEING ERECTED
Educational Affairs Are on the Up Grade in the Common wealth of ArkansasMore Than 500 School Houses Being Built in This State--- Buildines are More Valuable and More Suited to the Pur-
 pose to Which They to be Put

There is no necessity for the state ment that Arkansas is progressing along all desirable lines, for that is a fact that is known of all men. But that she is progressing along educa- tionai lines in most remarkable strides has not impressed itself upon the minds of those not specially interested perhaps. as it should. The statement that buildings 10 the value of more than sl000,000 are now being erected in this state, will doubtless create sur prise, and in the minds of some there may be shadow of doubt. But when the facts are considered, it will be seen that the estimate is most con- Seryatiye. It is asserted that not less than 500 buildings are now in course Of erection-many of them being of a handsome and expensi re nature.
 Among those cities which are erect ing high schools are the following: Pine Bluff, s90,0 Hot Springs, sl25,- 000 Bonneville, s25, 1000; Sloan Springs $25,o00; Jonesboro, s25,o00: Paragould, S25,000: Dewitt, $10.o00: Trimmer vile, sl0,0 Humphreys, sl0.0o0; Little Rock S40, ,00o: Cotton Plant, 4~5, 900; Piggott, S12, 500: RusselIyille, Sa,000: Van Buren, S25,0OO: Washing b- Sl0,000; Lewisville. $20,000; Fay etteyille, S50,000: Searcy, S25, GOO.

been such large number of smaller buildings being erected. The Depart ment of Education has received many inquiries regarding ventilation, sani- tatl0h, etc, and tie buildings being erected, no matter of what value. are being constructed on better and more satisfactory lines.
 Another matter which will tend to tie betterment of the public school system of the State of Arkansas is the advance in teachers salaries. Pay for those who teach the young idea how to shoot has experienced a considera- ble rise within the past few years. but the standard for teachers has risen with 1t. Many who could previously teach in Arkansas schools now find that they are barred from lack of sys- tenn or of general knowledge
 The present outlook in the educa- tional field in Arkansas is the bright est ever noted, and educators all over the country are taking notice of the rapid advance the State is making. The lack of buildings and the poor pay for teachers has handicapped the State in this regard to wonderful extent. but it now appears that new era has dawned, and that the schools are en- tering upon the most progressive and satisfactory period of their existence Arkansas Democrat.

MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Se- rious Consequences of Neg lect.

"Fix me up something to knock the malaria, doctor" remarked a saiiow- faced, siekly looking man, entering a prominent physicians office the other day.
 The doctor stepped to his medicine case, took down a couple of bottles, mixed a preparation which he handed to the patient with the customary advice to shake well and follow directions and resumed his seat.
 "Sueh cases are frequent" replied the doctor in answer to a question. "The warm days and damp, chilly nights are certain malaria breeders and are most serious in those who have neglected to keep their stomach, liver and bowels in good condition. Such persons are full of the impurities on which the malarial germ thrives, and it is from this class that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim most of their victims whenever these dis eases are prevalent.
 The proper way to guard against the malarial germ and the serious diseases which follow it is 10 get into good condi- ton by taking reliable remedy that will keep the bowels clear and the liver healthy, and to continue with it at fre- quent intervals during the sick1y season.
 A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or four times week will do all of this, be- sides stimulating the digestion, inprov- ing the appetite and keeping the bodily energy at the highest pitch.
 Priekly Ash Bitters is known everv- where as system tonic and bowel regu- lator. It not only removes all traces of malarial poison from the system, but tones up the vital organs, gives new strength and vigor, makes the body strong and the brain active.
 'Priekly Ash Bitters is the best aIl-aronnd medicine for the family ever used. During the past ten years have always kept it in my house " henever any of my family show signs of rnala- ria kidney trouble. indigestion or con situation few doses is all that is needed to make hem well and hearty agaiu.-W.
