like the one whether the hen that laid
the egg or the hen that Matched it is
the mother of the chicken. Both will

Senator Foraker is making q
bold play for the support of his
candidacy by the Grand Army of
the Republic in q bill that he has
just caused to be introduced by
his confrere, Senator Dick. The
bill provides that Union veterans
of the Civil war shall he paid the
difference between the greenbacks
they got and the gold on which
their rate of pay was based. A
hurried but moderate estimate
made by one of the senators who
heard the bill read gives $780,
100000 as the probable amount
that would be needed to meet its
requirements. Foraker would tax
the people in that amount of
money for the purpose Of further
ing his personal ambitions.

Dear Sir: Todd & Downing, con-

have painted Devoe for or 4 years.
They say it takes less gallons of Devoe
than of any other paint they have used.
That means that a job costs less with
Devoe not only for paint, for labor as
we'll,
They paint nothing else Devoe ex-
clusively.
They have said nothing about the
comparative wear Of Devoe and Others
oversight, may be; perhaps too soon for
that. But Devoe is the strongest paint
that's why least gallons; best wear,
same reason. Least cost and longest
time between jobs.

TEXAS HOLDS RECORD

Baltimore, Dec. 25,-In publish ing this week it's regular annual review of railroad construction in the south, the Manufacturers Record says;
 'The greatest amount of con struction accomplished in any one state was in Texas, where practically $40 miles were built. Arkansas came next, with 213 miles. Virginia third with .21O miles; Louisiana fourth with 177 miles; next coming North Car olina, with 124 miles; Tennessee 199 miles and Alabama, 11S miles All the others reported less than 100 miles each. The prospect for 1909 indicates that 95S miles will be built in Texas PTS in Arkansas, 273 in Alabama 247.ln Florida, 229 in West Vir- gin1i, 223 in South Carolina, PIG in Georgia, 175 in Ok,ahoma, t25 in Tennessee, Ill in Louisiana, Ill in Kentucky and 1O7- in North Carolina.
 "The total number of miles con structed during 1908 in the South including Missouri and Ok lahoma was 1760 miles Last year there were over $500 miles built In the, south proper-that is leaving out Missouri and Ok lahoma there was 1882 miles built in 1908; last year 1t was 29S7 miles. This is the lowest record of the new construction in the south for many years, but the prospect for next year is that 3256 miles will be con- structed, although this may be exceeded if more encouragement is given to the building of rail- roads. The amount of construc- tion by the big railroad corpora tions was extremely small, as will be seen by reference to the detailed statement of what has been accomplished Several Of them reported no building at all while those which did anything accomplished nothing more than the fulfillment or partial fulfill ment of work already undertake en.

A TRIP TO WOMBLE
Philadelphia Standard Man Makes Trip to New Town and isSarprised
 at Developments

The following article is taken from the Philadelphia Standard and described the new country to the north of us. The Stan dard says:
 We last Friday accompanied by our "better-haf," visited Wom- b!e. which is now the terminus of the Gurdon and Fort Smith road. We did not have time to go up to the town of Womb,e, which is situated a half mile from the depot, but could see from the depot that a good sized town had been built since the completion of the road to that point.
 The completion of the road op- ems up a magnificent timbered country and !arge mills are being erected al along the line and the scenery is grand. Graysonia, the first big mill on the road, af- ter leaving Antoine, looks like a town. The mill is now running on full time and has an immense commisSary, with big stock of goods with a big hotel erected on top of the hill.
 Shawnut is the next pace, where our old friend Story has for several years run a store there It is said that he meets every train with the sack of mai! on his back.
 The next place is Amity. This place has been greatly improved and built up. The town proper is situated on the hill about half a mile from the depot, but sever- al stores have been built near the depot and is known as West Amity." The magnificent high school at this place, with Prof. Samson as principal, has given Amity a reputation all over South Arkansas.
 The next place where the train stopped is Rosboro, where is established a mill and eommis- sary. This mill is owned and con- tro!led partly by Prescott cap italists.
 Next comes Glenwood where an immense mill is being erected which is said when it is com p.eted and put in running order. will cost a million dollars. It is a beautiful location for a town and now has three or four hun dred inhabitants and over hun dred new buildings have been er- ected.
 At Caddo Gap, nice town has been built up, with several stores in the field, formerly owned by our old friend Jim Vuaght. where he used to raise corn and cotton. They have lately discov- cred hot water at this place, and if it turns out to be true, and as hot as the Hot Springs water it will be the means of building up a big city at Caddo Gap, to reap Benefit of the healing water.
 This is one of the smoothest and easiest roads we ever trave,- ed over, with the popular Carl Mcdaniel as conductor makes 1t pleasant for everyone that trav- els on the road. Maj J. J. Kress the superintendent, was along the trip and was very affab.e and pleasant tn pointing out the many places of interest on the route The Major has just put on a new fine passenger coach.
 This road makes close connec- tion with the Iron Mountain road both north and south.

BERTRAND HAS
 MADE CONFESSION
Says He Was Implicated in Safe R0bber- ieS in Several Towns and One
 Place in Texas

HoXie, Dec. 24.-Henry Bert- rand who, with three other men, has been arrested by Sheriff w. K. Surridge of Back Rock and specia, officers of the Iron Noun on a enlarge of safe blowing, has made a partia. confession, in which he said that he and his pals" blew safes at Keller, Spr- ague, Colgate and Phillips, Okla, and robbed a postoffice at Boom bery, Tex.
 Developments since the arrest of the four men indicate more strongly each day that the of- ficers have succeeded in arrest ing at least a part of the gang of yeggmen that has been op- erating successfully and eXten- sive,y throughout this state and adjoining states for some time Safe blowers tools, much money and valuable jewelry, together with hundreds of dollars worth of stamps, have been found ei- ther in the homes or possession of the four men arrested The officers claim that they have sufficient evidence to convict each one.
 Charles Gregory and Henry Der trand were arrested Monday on an Iron Mountain train near Walnut Ridge. Arch Weston was arrested several weeks ago at Hartford and Robert Harris was arrested near HoXie recently There is said to be much more evidence against Gregory and Bertrand than the other two
 Bertrand was sentenced to the Arkansas penitentiary this year but was pardoned by Governor Pindall.
 The men have been separated. Bertrand and Weston are in jail at Newport, Harris is at Back Rock and Gregory is in the new Craighead county jail.
