"The Princess of Patches"

For the opening of the final week at
Island Park the stock company pre-
scented The Princess of Patches,' a
most interesting drama Of the South
in four acts and was greeted by d
large audience. Miss Overton in the
character of Nellie Silverthorn, the
pseudo princess, had the first real OPP
portunity since her advent as mcm-
Der of the company and certainly
made the most of it. She gave a very
pleasing perform of a typical rough
soubrette and jumped into instant
favor with the audience. Mr.. Jenkins
as Waggles, the tramp, played the part
with his usual dash and was big
favoritc. The balance of the company
scored well in their respective parts

H. ARENAS Libby.

Word was received in the city NJ On
day morning, from Rutland, VT, tell
ing of the death of H. ARENAS Libby,
late of this city, which had occurred
sometime during Sunday night and
was without doubt of suicidal origin
as the body was found in the early
morning on the floor of the room
where he boarded with revolver still
clutched in one hand and a bullet wound
in his head The message stated that
it was thought that he had been dead
for about five hours when the body
was found.
The news of Mr.. Libby's death comes
as great shock to his many friends
in Augusta and elsewhere. 1t was
only last Thursday that he left Au-
SuSta, going to Rutland, where he had
accepted a position as superintendent
of a book bindery, a calling at which
he had worked for a long time, ana
had for the past 10 years been en-
ployed at the State bindery of Smith
& Reid in this city His health had
not been good for some years and it is
thought that While suffering from n
mental depression resulting
tEerefrom he committed the act or
sclf-destruction.
Mr.. Libby was native of Fred
cricton. n. -, ana was AZ years If
age. The widow, one sister and two
brothers survive. The deceased was

4 Most Remarkable Discovery

Great scoveries-discoverie that have revolutionized every branch of hu- man endeavOr, have nearly always re- mained dormant for many years before their full value was realized and appre- ciated by the world at large. A greater boon to humanity than cleaner of filth would be preventive of filth. e
 One of the greatest discoveries of this century has been restricted for the past four or five years to a limited area. In Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin the hospitals, doctors and general public use Muco-Solvent as a Safe-guard-an absolute preventive against the dread scourge of Diphtheria and kindred all- ments. Thousands of people who are in good health today would not be on this good old sphere were il not for Muco- Solvent
 We know that Muco- Solvent will cure Diphtheria and Group as well as Scarlet Fever, Quinsy, Whooping Cough and every other trouble that is accompanied by infamed or irritated mucous mem branes.
 We urge its use, however, only as a preventive, since we cannot ask you to deny yourself the satisfaction of calling in physician for so serious trouble as diphtheria-at least until you have proven by actual experience the abso- lute and unequivocal value of Muco- Solvent
 Call your physician, but insist on him administering Muco-Solvent. Keep 1t on hand and use it freely at the first trihing indication in baby or adult of cough, fever or sore throat
 In certain northern states there are towns where mortality from diphtheria has been reduced to zero through Muco- Solvent.
 Ask White Drug Go. about it, and you will learn things about the almost un- believably wonderful properties of Muco- Solvent that are manifestly impossible for us to tell you in this limited space.
 Muco-Solvent comes in SOC and SI.oo pack ages and being absolutely harmless is safe to administer with the greatest freedom.

COUNTY SUpERINTENDENCY.

The Log Cabin Democrat last week stated that 1t would i'll this issue publish by request an ab- stract of the act passed by the gen eral assembly of 1907 creating the office of county superintendent ot schools. Upon looking into the law, however, we find that 1t can not be voted upon before the third Saturday in May, 1909, and can not become operative before the first day of November, 1910.
 The first section of the act reads as follows:
 That at the next general cleo tion for state and county officials and every two years thereafter, there shall be elected, in the same man ner and under the same restrictions as is provided by law for the cleo ton of other county officials, a county superintendent of schools for each county in the state of Ark ansas, who shall qualify as other county officials and who shall hold his office for the term of two years or until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.
 Provided, that before any county shall be authorized to elect a county superintendent the ques- tion "For County Supervision and Against County Supervision shall be submitted to the qualified electors at the annual school meet ing held on the third Saturday in May in the years preceding those in which the general state and county elections are held, and if a majority ot the electors voting on such question in said election vote for county supervision then said county shall elect a county superin- ten dent as provided by this act. :"

SHOULD OBTAIN STAMPS
Pennies Placed in Mail Boxes Impose
 Hardships on Rural Carriers.

Postmaster O. J. Owen desires to call attention to the practice of some patrons of rural delivery oi placing loose coins in their boxes each time they desire to dispatch letters instead of supplying them selves with postage in advance of their needs.
 This practice imposes undue hardship on rural carriers in re- moving loose coins from boxes and delays them on the service of their routes.
 The postmaster therefore , urgently requests that patrons of rural delivery provide themselves with postage in advance of their needs. IL is also very desirable that rural patrons place in their mail boxes small detachable cups of wood or tin in which to place coins, when necessary, III purchas- ing supplies of stamps.
