Obituary..

Boone Henry McKaskle was
born March IS, 1888, died Septem-
Der -, 1908. Two years ago he
professed hope in Christ, joined
the Missionary Baptist church and
lived a consecrated Christian life
till God, after an illness of four
months, called him home, to be
forever blessed in that land of pure
delight, where there is no pain,
sorrow nor death.
He leaves a father, mother,
brothers and sisters to mourn his
death. Dear bereaved ones, it is
sad thing to be parted from ou1
loved ones, but we must submit
and say, mot my will but Thine
be done" for we know that death
is only a dreamless sleep and that
on that glorious day of judgment
your dearly-beloved boy will wax
en- again. 1t is not one without
hope, you have lost him for short
time only and Heaven has gained
precious jewel. 1t seems hard
that the home is OH so sad, the
music ceased, the gay laughing
boy gone, but think what he has
gained. Heaven should seem the
sweeter now and all should strive
the harder to live SO as to meet the
loved ones gone on before. Yes,
farewell, dear boy we hope some
day to meet over yonder on that
beautiful shore where tears never
dim the eye. He was loved by
all who knew him and we are sad
to know that his face SO kind and
gentle we never more can see be-
low. A FRIEND.

some clever detective work, ascer-
tanned the name and location OF
the finder. He went to Rex sew

UNIQUE SUIT BY CANDIDATE
Claims Reward Offered by His
Opponent.
Echo of Legislative Race in Hot Spring
County-Bond Amendment the
ISSUE

Little Rock, Nov. 2S.-Perhaps
the most unique suit of the year is
that which was filed in the Hot
Spring county circuit court in
Malvern today by w. 7. Tucker, a
Little Rock attorney. This suit is
an echo of the recent legislative
race in Hot Springs county in
which D. D. Glover was defeated
for representative of that county by
Horatio Barnett. During the cam
paign the candidates were often
pitted against each other on the
stump, and during one of these
battles of words, Glover alleges he
made the assertion that if the peo-
pie voted in sufficient numbers to
pass Amendment No. 10, which
would permit the county to issue
bonds for public improvements, it
would issue bonds bearing five per
cent, and with a five mill road tax
already levied, the bonds would
pay themselves out in 3515 years;
or, bonds bearing per cent inter
est would pay themselves out in
25 years. Glover claimed this an
nouncement was such startling
proposition to Barnett that it was
to his interest to have it worked
out so he could advise his people
accordingly, so he entered into a
contract, by public declaration,
that he would pay Glover $500 il
he could produce the figures bear
ing out his contentious. Glover
claims he spent a number of years
as school teacher, and as the
proposition was a simple one OF
arithmetic, he would have soon
earned his money, but his pupil
was dull of understanding, and il
required six months to drill into
him the simple proposition. Clio
yer says, in his complaint, that he
has drawn upon Barnett for the
$500, which should have been
paid to him long ago, according to
contract, but the draft was allowed
to go to protest, causing him al
additional expense of S2.65. Glow
er accordingly asks for a judgment
for $500 IS.

ATTORNEYS ARGUE PETITION.
Three Mile Law to Eliminate
Saloons
From Capitol City is being Invoked by
Prohibitionists of Little
Rock

Little Rock, Nov. 2S. - County
Judge Joe Asher will have to read
over number of supreme court
decisions relative to three mile con-
tests before he will decide the
method OF procedure IN the petit
ton which is before him to refuse
saloon licenses within radius OF
three miles of the Peabody school
house. He heard the preliminary
arguments in the case yesterday,
spending much Of the day hearing
Lewis Rhoton and G>n. w. Z.
Atkinson for the petitioners, and
Col. w. L. Terry and Dan w.
Jones, who represent liquor men
of the city who came in and were
made parties to the suit to get a
standing to Show their rights.
The attorneys for the petitioners
claim the liquor side should file
within five days of the date for the
hearing, all their papers, showing
all names on the petition of the
prohibitionists, which they allege
were secured by fraud, are minors
or non-residents of the district.
The defense is resisting this, saying
to do this would be showing their
entire hand, and the filing of snch
list would bar them from further
filing later. The attorneys for the
petitioners offer to make an agree
ment in writing that such de-
mand will not be made or enforced.

FINDER OF MONEY FOUND
w. T. Mcdonald Admits Picking UP SIS
Lost by j. E. Montgomery.
FROM SATURDAYS DAILY.

Stewart and, incidentally, an ad
in the Daily Edition, SIS in cur
rency lost on the streets OF this

curity to return the balance.
Mr.. Montgomery lost the money
out of his pocket, and missing 1t a

the ad remembered having seen a
man, who was afterwards found to

Col. Terry refused to listen to this,
saying the supreme court would
recognize no such agreement. The
attorneys for the petitioners claim
the supreme court has already
held the filing of the petitions is
prima facia evidence the signatures
are genuine, and it is up to the de-
tense to prove they are not.

FROM THE
CAPITAL CITY


Little Rock. Nov. 3o.-With
now less than two months to elapse
before the Democratic primaries
for city officers, no one has amour
ced as a candidate to oppose the re-
election of Mayor w. K. Duley,
and as everyone who has been men
toned has failed to confirm the
report, there is chance that May
or Duley may succeed himself
without opposition. d. +. Brad
shaw chairman of the city Demo-
cratic committee, yesterday after
noon stated there was llttleinterest
in the coming primaries, for which
reason he had not called the COM
mittees together to make date for
the primaries, so would let it go
until early in January and then fix
the date for the last of that month
The race for police judge, where
there will be three or four candi-
dates, will be rather warm, as we'll
several of the aldermanic contests.

CORRELATION
PLAN ADOPTED
|. R. CONFERENCE UNANIMOUS
Methodist Colleges in Arkansas
to be Affiliated.
Slight Notifications in the Original Plan
Made, but No Change with Refer
ence to Hendrix.

Little Rock, Nov. 2S.-Special.
Without dissenting vote on the
floor of the conference, the report
of the committee on education ia
voring the system of correlation of
the Methodist colleges and acade-
mics in Arkansas, heretofore
adopted by the commission pre-
viously appointed by the three
conferences, was adopted this
morning.
The only change recommended
by the committee was that Hender-
son be continued as co-education-
al institution. No change in the
plan with reference to Hendrix was
recommended. The entire mat
ter is referred to a board of "a trus-
tees just created, the present trus-
tees of the colleges, and the COM
mission, for final action.
The principal points in the sys-
tenn of correlation of the schools,
which was first published in The
Log Cabin Democrat, are the fol-
lowing:
Hendrix becomes co-education-
al institution and the only degree
comforting college in Arkansas.
The academy classes to be abolish
ed che year at time, beginning
in September, 1909.
Galloway becomes a junior col
lege for girls, comforting no de-
grees, and preparing students tor
admission to the Junior class OF
Hendrix.
Henderson becomes junior col
lege for boys, comforting no de-
grees, and preparing students for
admission to the Junior class of
Hendrix.
The plan was adopted in toto by
the Arkansas conference at Van
Buren,, and now that the Little
Rock conference has adopted it
with slight notifications, no fur
ther difficulty is anticipated when
the matter comes before the White
River conference, in which Gallo
way college is l~cated.

apply for reappointment. Friends
of Bush have made the assertion
that he is after the office ofregister

Fertilizers for Summer and
Fall Top-Dressing and
Seeding Down.

Up-to-date farmers are agreed that
in many cases better results are OBJ
tanned on meadows from fertilizers
which are applied in the summer or
early fall. This is true both as to top
dressing and seeding-down.
We wish to call the attention of the
farmers of Vermont to the fact that
we can furnish formulas for mixing
fertilizers especially adapted to top
dressing and seeding-down grass land.
These formulas have not only been ap-
proved by the Vermont Experiment
Station, but have been used with ex-
cellent results by great many farm
ers in Vermont and have proved thor
onghly reliable. We can also furnish
the materials for mixing fertilizers in
accordance with these formulas. We
should be pleased to send the formulas
together with full directions for mix
ing. cost Of materials. etc, to any one
who will write US, mentioning this pa

WOMAN BEAT TWO MEN.

WOMAN BEAT TWO MEN.
We suspect you'd like the tale, how a wo-
man beat two hardware dealers in Girard, Pa.
Devoe salesman tried his best to get these
men to sell Devoe lead and zinc in that bright
town and failed. Reluctantly took Mrs. E. R.
Bowman, druggist.
They said they coul INIT sell paint for more
than 81 rs gallon. Mrs. Bowman can. She
has sold about all the paint, that has been
sold there since.
She knew Devoe; had sold his artists ma
terials. Had some sense, and force besides;
she easily learned that cheap is dear in paint
and told the people.
Mr.. Burt Young bought gallon Devoe for
rooms that had always taken gallon of other
paint; had half left.
Mr.. John Hanna, grocer, thought it expen-
sive before he bought it, brought back nearly
half of his paint, and said it was the cheapest
job he ever had.
Mrs. Bowman reports universal abstraction
So much for cheap paint town with a bright
woman in it.

THE LIFE OF THE FLAX.

In spring the ground is prepared
for fax as we would prepare for oats
and it grows from three to five feet
tall 1t has delicate blue flower. It
is very beautiful to look at and then
it ripens. We go in the field and hull
it. tie it up like oats and then put it
up in a shock.
If you want it for seed you thrash
it like oats and if you want it for
cloth you lay it on the ground in the
sun and wet it very often till it rots
and dries
Then we pound it in a break. A
break = kind of wooden table with
a long handle to break the fax aud
then it is hacked through hackle.
The hackle is long board with sharp
teeth sticking up.
Then it is put on a spinning wheel
and after the spinning is done it is
put in loom and is made into cloth
When the cloth is old and rotten it
is torn into pieces and is put into hot
it is made into nice white paper.
The paper is used to write on and
print honest books. Years pass by
and the paper rots and gets old and
is put in the fire and is burned to
ashes and smoke.
wonder if the fax knew its life if
it would want to go through another
useful life.
I think the fax had a hard time
through life, but its trouble always
ended in good. Ernest Mullenix.
