A traction company in a Tennessee
town is still using the cars bought for
their line when it was constructed
some ---teen years ago. Naturally the
shaky old cars cause much disgust to
those who have to ride in them.
A merchant of the town was par
ticularly vexed recently when the mo-
torman ran his car half a block past
him before stopping. As he ran to
catch it he yelled out:

crops, as we'll as meadows and
pastures, present a thrifty appear

Corn planting, which was great
ly retarded by the excessively
cold and wet weather that pre-
vailed here during April, has been
completed. That which was plant
ed a fortnight or longer, has ger
minated we'll and is growing rap
idly.
Very few apple trees have any
apples on them; none, excepting a
few exceptionally favored loca-
tons, have enough to yield one
bushel or more per tree. Peaches
are conspicuous only by their abb
sence. Strawberries yielded toll

Des Arc Items.

Quite a crowd of people attend
ed the memorial services at the
Des Arc cemetery Sunday. Rev.
Alcorn delivered a very appropri-
ate sermon for the occasion. If
God ever called any one to preach
it is Rev. Alcorn. He was once a
very wicked man. Now he is Just
the reverse, and has been living a
Christian life for twenty years.
His sermon was a great help to
many and there were many tears
wiped away.
By this time many have seen
our new Des Arc paper, the Kroni-
Gle. 1t is quite a newsy sheet and
has much advertising patronage.
Well, prosperity has struck u
town. E. w. Graves has started
up with a full force of men.
There were 400 cars of stock be-
tween Little Rock and Piedmont
Sunday. There were trains every
hour Sunday and Monday.
Well, June is here. We were
married in the June time when our
hearts knew no pain. And we
have sunshine in our souls to-day.
Wiley O'Neal and wife were
here Sunday and attended the me-
mortal service. We were glad to
welcome Wiley and his wife back
at their old home once more. They
will never forget Des Arc for they
have dear ones lying on yonder
hill, who will ever be fresh in their
memories.
Mr.. and Mrs. Strader attended
church in Ironton Sunday. Also
Miss Allie Fitz.
John Lovelace is out this week
calling on the voters. John is a
good worker and a first-class
man. You can't do better than to
vote for him. He is one of the
best men in this end of the county,
is a son. of James Lovelace, whom
everybody knows and is one of
our best citizens.
T. P. Fitz shipped seventeen
cars of hub logs to Ironton in the
month of May. He is now buying
at Hogan and is there every We'd
nesday.
Three cars of hogs are being
shipped from here this week. The
farmer is on top.
SUPPLEMENT.
l was at Arcadia last Wednes-
day and some reliable men told
me that Rev. HI. Polk was running
on a wet ticket. Hope it Is not SO
for it will ruin his prospects for
election. The moral people will
not support him. So, Rev. Polk,
please come out and show your
colors. If you are not, say so.
Let us hear from you.
Jas Mr.. Polk is not in town to-
day I will answer for him, and l
speak by the card, having dis
cussed the question with him a
few days ago. Mr.. Polk is not
running OF a SWEET ticket nor on
a "dry ticket" but as a Democrat
on a Democratic ticket. There is
one thing may be said of him, and
l hope it will ease "Isaac's" ten
der conscience. He is as ''dry" in
every day practice as "Isaac'' is
in outward theory, and an ounce
of unobtrusive practice is worth a
ton of loud-mouthed profession.
Those who know him know that,
if elected Representative, he will
obey the will of the Democrats of
the county-not of any select CO.
terie, whether that coterie be
"wet" or ''dry.'-ED. RE GIsTER.

ed that Postmaster Paullus was
chosen as a candidate for Judge
of the Western District.

We understand that DR.. Paullus

1t is reported that work of all
kinds at the Munger mines is prac-

matters may take in the future is
somewhat problematical. 1t is to

put forth to ascertain whether
there is mineral in that locality in
