During the past several months sew
efal prominent specialists have been
In Greenwood for the purpose OF
examining Governor Little and all

he is suffering from melancholia
and that there is every indication
that he will recover. None of the
physicians were able to say how soon
the governor would recover, but all
were emphatic in their opinion that
his intimate recovery is certain.
About three weeks ago an eminent
specialist from st. Louis went to
Greenwood at the request of the Lit

at the Little residence, advised that
the governor be sent to private
sanitarium, After an investigation,
the physician suggested the sani

THE MANSION OF
FORGETFULNESS
Copyright, by shortstory Pub. Coz
By DON MARK LEMON

Four months after the salt waves
had laid at his feet the cold form OF
his love, came the news that Herbert
Munson was the possessor of a start
ling secret He had, It was stated, dis
covered Purple Ray that would with
er and destroy certain human cells OF
memory without injury or danger to
neighboring cells, This rumor was fol
lowed by the still more amazing re-
port that Munson had erected the Man
sion of Forgetfulness, to which all who
would free their minds of a hopeless
passion might repair, and, in one brief
hour, forget.
And, sure enough, here they came
those who loved not wisely but too
well, those who loved deeply but hope
lessly, and those who loved the Dead
and could endure their grief no longer
and the Purple Ray "plueked from
the memory its rooted SORROW and
they went forth from the Mansion of
Forgetfulness unsecured and fancy
free.
Yet he who showed others how to for
get would not himself forget. 1t was
agony to know that she was dead. and
he would never see her face again,
yet he shrank from forgetfulness as
the soul shrinks from oblivion. Try
as he would, he could not drag him
self from the haunted hills of memory,
though he remembered that the world
without was wonderfully fair, and 9th
err women. perhaps as lovely as she,
were waiting there to love and to be
loved. Nc! Let others forget, he
would not! Not that he lived in hope,
for had he not kissed the salt foam
from her dead face? But that mem.
DRY was all that remained of a Love

Flour sacks we're valuable. You uR-

Paid Taxes Too Late.

Poll taxes paid after the first Sat-

July are of no value as a qualification
to vote, according to Attorney General
William f. Kirby, who was called on
to decided this question Wednesday.
1t appears that in an Arkansas county
about 600 poll taxes were paid at one
time on July 6, of the present year,

that poll tax receipts issued for these
payments will not entitle the holders
to vote in the coming general cleo
