IN MEMORIAM.

Died, December "a, 1906, Mrs. Mary
A. Tupman, the wife of Mr.. Ben F.
Tupman, and daughter of Mr.. Nicho-
las and Mrs. Mary A. Thomas, the lat
ter preceding her to the grave many
years ago. She lived with her STEP
mother until eight months ago, when
she married Mr.. Tupman.
The deceased was born in Adair coun-
ty, united with the Christian church in
early girlhood and lived true Christian
life, dying in the triumph of Christian
faith. She told her loved ones that the
future looked bright to her and prayed
for the hour when death would relieve
her sufferings.
1t is hard indeed to part with those
we love, but God knows best, and to
the loved ones we will say, weep not
for she is with her Heavenly father and
where no earthly pain racks her tired
body.
The funeral services were conducted
by Ed. z. T. Williams and the remains
laid to rest in Egypt cemetery.

BANK AT ROLEY.
Organized Last Week and Will Open
About February 18th.

The announcement in the News, a
few weeks ago, that bank was to be
organized at Roley was correct. The
stockholders met few days ago and
selected the following officers: Nc G..
Goode, President; F. j. Land. Vice
President; R. j. Station, j. M. Barr,
!. A. Williams, G. l.. WOlfOrd, and
Emmett Goode, Directors. The cashier
has not been announced, but we will
be able to give his name in a few days.
The management will begin business
by February 18th, in the Masonic Hall
with a capital of $4,000.
Mr.. McGoode stated to News man
that the prospects for good business
were very promising and that the Of
ficers and board of directors were con-
fident of nice business from the be-
ginning.
The management of this institution
is in the hands of safe, sound and pro-
gressive business men, and surrounded
by good territory, we see no reason
why the bank should not prove sue
cess.

WANTS COL.
]. N. COFFEY
To lmportune the President to
Place All Federal Offices Under
Civil Service.

Col. J. N. Coffey being a great ad-
mirer of President Roosevelt, might
have some bearing with him on GER
tain important questions. l want Col.
Coffey to do me the favor of writing
the President letter asking him to di-
rect the heads of the various depart
ments of the Government to issue or
ders placing every position in the en-
tire governmental machinery under
civil service, including the hog Shoppers
and cattle feeders at the large distiller-
les. Because l would like to see every
office in the united kingdom covered by
classified service, and then fill the
places with men of every political faith,
both white and black, and give them a
life deed to their Offices or positions.
Lets go the whole hog or none. The
President, who is the civil service ac-
robat of the United States, is gradual
ly extending the service to every office
of the Government, and when he has
accomplished this, he may or may not
be satisfied.
That's right, put set of fellows in
office and let them remain. There are
lots of other good Republicans in the
country, and life long ones too, but
they are not entitled to anything, ex-
cept to vote to put the other fellows in,
who are such ardent believers in the
civil service business. If Col. Coffey
will take this matter up with the Pres
ident, am inclined to believe he will
gain his point, and then when l get
back to Arkansas, l will tell those
farmers out there who have land that
will produce two or three bales of cot
ton per acre, that out in Adair county,
KY, there is farm called Meadow
Lawn" that produces corn, the cobs of
which are most suitable for making cob
pipes, and on the same farm the stems,
and the tobacco to smoke is also raised,
with the probability of sulphur and
birthstone being found to make the
matches to light the pipes. Where can
such complete line of kindred prod
ucts be found in this whole county on
any farm. F. Mel.

WAGON ROADS IN kLoNOIN-
There Are Already More Than Tire
Hundred Miles.

There are many miles of good wag.
'on roads in the Yukon territory, es,
pecially in the region Immediately
tributary to Dawson. The construc,
ton of these ways of communication
is due entirely to the enterprise OF
the government and assists materially
in opening up the country.
The building of roads in this imme-
date region has reached a total of
just about 300 miles. not including
the White Horse trail, which Is In
tended only for winter use and is not
a fl~rst-class carriage road.
Stage lines are maintained on sew
eral of these roads, but they are open
for the free use Of vehicles of all
kinds and are in constant use.
They greatly facilitate not only the
regular travel between Dawson and
the creeks and between principal
points on the different streams, but
they assist greatly the movement of
heavy machinery and afford a distinct
economy in the working Of properties.
The roads will not be less appre-
ciated now that a railroad is beinA
built through a part Of the Klondike
region.
This railroad has now been con-
structed as far as Grand Forks and
will be extended If the promoters
carry out their plans.

Considering Train Service.

A conference of railroad officials will
be held in Chicago this week to con-
slider the train between Chicago and
the Pacific coast, says the Omaha Bee.
Just what will be done is not known,
but a change in schedules is quite
probable. 1t is thought some of the
faster trains will be made slower and
heavier to accommodate more of the To-
cal business which is increasing. Re-
ports from the state indicate the travel
is heavier since the 2-cent law went
into effect, but railroad men claim
there are but few more people travel.
