Results in This County

The election commissioners have
not yet canvassed the returns from
Tuesdays election in this county,
but reports gathered by the Star
Herald show that with the excep.
tions of possibly three small town
ships, the Democrats have made a
clean sweep of the county, although
a light vote was polled. The total
vote in the county will not reach
1000, however if that number is
reached the Democrats have received
1900. This shows a substantial
Democratic gain over the vote of
four years ago, when the Democrats
polled S32 and the Republicans 400.
Myers, for congress, carried Rich
ardson township by votes, Wiley
bv 8, and Bristow by l. The big
Democgatic townships, however,
show big gains for Oldfeid, and
his majority in the county will be
more than three to one. In nun
ber of townships OldieIA polled
more votes Lhan Bryan, and in
several townships Myers ran ahead
of Taft.
In Demun township 81 votes
were polled, of which Bryan re
ceived 225, Taft rs, Oldfeld 225,
Myers, 9S. The vote four years
ago was, Democratic, l79, Republi-
can Al.
Reports from over the district
show that Oldield has carried all of
the u counties by an increased ma
jority, running ahead of Bryan in
nearly every county.
Arkansas has given Bryan a ma
iority of 10000 to 10000. Next
week we will give our readers q
complete vote of the county, state
and nation.

The effort to convince people tsat
it pays to plant only seed Of lbe
best quality is often met with tDe
opposition Of ignorance. Yet psp-
gress is being made. Afarmer who
has several tenants persuaded oneyo

tenant on the adjoining farm was sSs
TO be convinced. The two cnp,,s
now stand with but wire fence
between. Each has about the samp

cotton there are fully twice as mary
bolls. That wire fence seperafes
more Than two men and two crops.

mont, Washington, West Virginia,
Wisconsin, Wyoming, Maryland;
total vote, 306.

ana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana,
Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina,

York city, the first time the big
city has ever given it's vote to a
Republican presidential candidate.

Democratic column with a majority
of Is, 200. Two y cars ago it gave
a Republican majority of 10000.

can majority of $4,000 four years
ago, was carried by Mr.. Bryan, aud
the entire Democratic state ticket
was elected.

Report of the Pixie Party

o say did you see the Pixies
On The night OF Halloweenl
As they got in so many iiXies,
The funniest ever seen.
They started from the campus,
| Dressed in garments white.
| And thought 10 have a ramble
In the stiffness Of the night.
But OH. did you hear the rattle
OF bells and sticks and tin:
Twas like the roar of battle
When firing does begin.
Out 70 the East and North they went,
But, by the leaders commands,
They marched 10 the East and SOth and WcS
They visited all the lands.
But back they cane from their ramble
stopped on Academy Hill,
HusheI was all their racket
And everything was still.
TDcy piled some sticks together
And made fire SO bright,
Then danced their funny dances
Around its shining Hight.
They drilled, they Jumped, they tumbled,
Two cheering yells they gave,
Till men came all running
With wondering eyes to gaze.
They played and sang iill the brightness
IRON out their FIRE had gone,
Then went they gently hOmewsrd
Til Halloween Sgsiu shall come.
PIXIE POET.
This was done by order OF the pixie king,

A Democratic Speech

Hon, H. L. Ponder of Lawrence
county spoke at the opera house
here last Monday night to a fair.
sized audience, in the interest of the
Democratic ticket, after having
spoken at Maynard in the afternoon.
Mr.. Ponder is well gifted as an
orator and his arguments in defense
of true Southern Democracy as out
lined by Jefferson, Jackson, Bryan
and others, struck a sympathetic
chord and the crowd many times
went "wild" with enthusiasm.
MIR. Ponder is a young giant Of
Democracy and the Star Herald
makes the prediction that one, day
he will be our representative in the
national congress. MIR. Ponder
was accompanied on his speaking
tour through southeast Missouri and
Randolph county by Mrs. Ponder,
who seemed to enjoy the occasion
immensely.
