 Tindall was prominent man, being a member of the Council of Nine that composed the legislature of the Territory at that time. In 1920 he led movement to change the county seat of Pulaski county from Little Rock to Cadron, and came near being successful. In fact there was great sentiment at one time to move the capital to Cadron. The first post office was established there in 1920 with Thomas H. Tindall as postmaster. The old maps of the Territory show road leading from Little Rock to Fort Smith through Cad ron. That, in its time, was the states greatest highway; it is the old wire road' that runs some three miles west of Conway. It seems that Tindall's effort to move the county seat to Cadron was ably seconded by Joab Hardin, mem Der ot the council from Lawrence county, who afterwards moved to Pulaski county and settled on the Cadron. The same maps show mill sites on North Cadron.
 Last Sunday afternoon 1 visited the site of the old town of Cadron. Scarcely land mark remains to tell the tale of the early days; bl the fact that here once lived u t brave men who assisted in aying the foundations of great stale made the spot sacred to me and invested the scene with an indes- cribable charm. Not less interest ing is the old road. As I looked upon it 1 thought of the pioneers who, facing all the dangers, priva tions and hardships of the frontier passed along there seeking homes for their loved ones. 1 thought also of Absolom Fowler, Albert Pike and Robert Crittenden, and the other great orators, lawyers and statesman who often rode on horseback along that ancient high way. To me 1t was not less sacred than the old road that leads from Lexington to Concord, which has long been the 11a Saoa of New England.
 Faulkner county is rich in his toric treasure; and if some of Con- ways cultured men and women would form an historical socie y they would find much work to do that would prove of great value to the future historian. Just where was that home of McIlmurrey's To cated? Who was the first man that ever settled in the present limits of Faulkner county? Was it Jacob Pyeatt or some one else? Where are his descendants? Where was the first farm openedo Where were those cid mills located? Who owned them9 These and many other questions of simila- chara- cter would furnish subjects for in- vestigation; and the annual meet ing would furnish subjects for rare entertainment for those whose hearts turn with affection to the memory of the pioneers.
 Why cannot that old road ir

WISE MANS VIEWS.

Here is little screed of life formu- lated by wise man:
 l have grown to believe that the one thing worth aiming at is simpli- city of heart and life.
 That power leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
 That congenial labor is the secret of happiness.
 That the world is a very interesting and beautiful place.
 That meanness, hardness and cold ness are unforgivable sins.
 That ones relations with others should be direct and not diplomatic.
 That pleasure exists, not in virtue of material conditions, but in a joyful heart.
 And many other things which seem. as 1 write them down, to be dull and trite commonplaces, but are for me the bright jewels which I have found beside the way.

PITY ITS ITS TRUE.

In love, at least, consistency is fool.
 A man is as old as his arteries; woman is as old as her art.
 If she has bad manners, she's poor; if she is eccentric, she's rich.
 Man was created first-women have kept him waiting ever since.

WARPED WISDOM,

Better not be witty than half-witted. Uneasy lies the head that wears a frown.
 Love your enemies-but not John Demijohn.
 To big-headed man the world is very small.
 Heart failure and cash failure often gn together.
 Too bad that most good eating is bad for one
 Knockers get big audiences, but no gate receipts
 You can have mighty hot time on a cool million.
 The best man at a wedding cannot always prove it.
 If you are a gay old dog you have nc right to whine.

 You can also tell man by the con- pany he doesn't keep.
 The last person to forget a kindness is the one who does it.

SENTENCE SERMONS.

SENTENCE SERMONS. We live by the joy we give.
 Significance is not a matter of bulk Good will on earth is Gods will for man.
 A week end religion is weak at both ends.
 There are no saints without their service.
 He who cheers another encourages himself.
 There are no single admission tick cts to glory.
 No man can be free who holds an- other in bonds.
 Many have fouud life's crown benc- iug oyer a cradle.
 The dew of heaven is rsrt in the mi dew on the sermon.
 The path of happiness always leads by some sad ones side.
 It often takes vacant place to bind the family fast together
 Giving is always poor investment when it is an investment only. The true servants of heaven are known by an atmosphere of happi- ness.
 The only way to get some folks to forgive and forget is to lend them a dollar.
 He who is always looking for a soft plac" finds one in the slough of despond.
 Nothing worth seeing comes from the life that knows nothing of the un- seen.-Chicago Tribune.

THE SUMMER TERM
OF COMMON PLEAS
Convened Monday With Judge KIugh
Presiding --Barksdale Gets Verdict
of $1,000 Against Railway Co.

Monday morning at ten o'clock the
regular July term of the Court of Com
mon Pleas convened here with Judge
j. G.. Klugh of Abbeville presiding.
The roster of cases is not lengthy at
this term, so only one week will be
consumed in the trial of the cases set
by the bar association. After the work
of organization was completed the
court took up the suit Of w. d. Barks-
dale against the Charleston and Wes-
tern Carolina Railway Co. for damages
to the amount of $4,000. The plaintiff
claimed this amount for damages to his
dwelling and lands caused by cinders
and coal dust from the coal chute be-
longing to the Railway Co. and located
near the dwelling and lands of the
plaintiff. This case occupied the atten-
tion of the court almost all of Monday
and up to the noon recess of Tuesday S
session, nineteen witnesses testifying
and four counsels addressing the jury
The plaintiff was represented by Can
non and Blackwell while the Railway
Co.'S. attorneys were Simpson, Cooper
and Babb. The jury in the case
brought in a sealed verdict which was
opened by the court at the re-convening
after dinner Tuesday. 1t gave the
plaintiff 81 900 damages. Counsel for
the defendant gave notice of motion
for new trial, which motion will be
heard later in the session.
The next case was that of the May
field Woolen Mills Clothing Co. against
j. r. Anderson, of Waterloo, for the
collection of claim. Richey and
Richey appeared for the defendant and
Simpson, Cooper and Babb for the
plaintiff. The case had not gone to the

worthy event in that up-to- date village

some of the best people to be found

large crowd and the managers were in
no wise disappointed. The barbecue
was under the direction and supervision
of Mr.. M. B. Crisp and we'll did he
serve the people. The picnic dinner
was in keeping with the custom of
those Mountville folks to supply plen-
teously the good things that are looked
for on such occasions. There were
nearly three hundred people present
Saturday.
Candidates for office are well aware
of such opportunities as that on Satur-
day and many took advantage of it,
All were accorded the privilege of
speaking, but because of the rain the
program was not completed. Messrs.
Wharton, Cannon, Sullivan and Richey
spoke, but just as Mr.. Todd was about
to begin the rain came up. Mr.. Todd
remarked afterwards that the eloquence
of his friend Richey made even the
heavens weep. Hon. Joseph T. John
son, of Spartanburg, was on hand and
spoke on national affairs much to the

SOLO In Silver Burned.

Mr.. c. II. Roper cashier of the En-
tcrprisc bank, had on exhibition Tues
day morning number of burned silver
coins, in amount $19.lO that had been
brought to him by Mr. r. A. Nichols
Of Waterloo. Mr. Nichols stated that
the money belonged to a negro tenant
on his place and that it had been kept
in sock in the negro's house. Re
Gently the house was burned and the
money with it. Mr.. Roper intends to
send these melted coins to the treasury
at Washington and endcavor to recover
part their value at least He says that
while he has often recovered the value
of damaged currency it has not come
within his experience to send in burned
silver. However, the effort will be
made. This case is only one Of the
numerous follies practiccd by people
who keep money in their houses tied up
in handkerchicfs or socks Moral: Sock
banking is dangerous.

The new union station is going up
now and with such capable contractor

ing will be completed in a short time
This building will cost about SIS, 900 and
