{" SECRETARY TO
THE GOVERNOR
BULLION PROBABLE APPO|NTEE
Conway Man Believed to Have
Been Named.
Inaugural Message of Gov. Elect Donaghey
Now Practically Com
pleted.
FROM TUESDAYS DAILY.

Although neither Mr.. Dona-
ghey nor Mr.. Bullion are yet will
ling to authorize the announce
ment, The Log Cabin Democrat is
able to state today upon authority
that scarcely leaves any question
as to its correctness, that Bruce T.
Bullion of this city will be named
as the private secretary to Governor
George w. Donaghey. When
asked of the appointment before
leaving for Little Rock this morn
ing, Gov. Donaghey did not deny
that Mr.. Bullion would be his Sc
lection, but stated that he had
already informed all the news
paper men that none of his appoint
ments would be given out until
his Inauguration.
Mr.. Bullion and family are, how
ever, already preparing to move to
the capital city early in January,
but he, of course, would make no
statement concerning the appoint
ment until it han been authorized
by the governor-elect.
The appointment of private sec
retary carries with it the Office Of
adjutant general of the Arkansas
state guard, and the salaries of the
two positions make it desirable
rlum from a financial standpoint.
Former Captain in Army.
Mr.. Bullion is a son of former
Representative 7. J. Bullion and
has lived in this county since his
early boyhood. When volunteer
companies were being organized
for service in the Spanish Amer
icsn war in 1898, Mr.. Bullion, on
account of his previous military
training and his popularity, was
the unanimous choice of the COM
pany organized here for captain,
and served with credit as captain
of Co. L, Second Arkansas Volun-
teers until honorably discharged
at the close of the hostilities. He
then took up the study of law, and
after serving as court stenographer
for the seventeenth judicial circuit
for about three years, began the

GRIFFIN SELLS
union TRIBUNE
FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY.

Late yesterday afternoon a deal
was consummated whereby Ben L.
Griffin, former secretary of the
state Farmers Union, sold his pa
per, the Arkansas Union Tribune,
to the publishers of the new Union
paper, the Rural Educator, the first
number of which was issued yester-
day morning. The firm buying
the Tribune is composed of State
Secretary M. F. Dickerson, J. A.
Boone and P. A. Hyatt. The new
paper will be consolidated with the
Tribune and published under the
same name as used by Mr.. Griffin.
Mr.. Griffin was the founder of
the Tribune and built up for it
very large circulation. He was
one of the first promoters of the
union and no man in the state has
a wider acquaintance within the
circles of that organization. His
many friends will regret his ret ire
ment from journalism.
Mr.. Griffin expects to continue
his connection with the Farmers
Union in an unofficial way. AS
union lecturer he has many calls
from the various county and local
unions of the state, and his time in
the future will be principally de-
voted to this work.

Special Agent Here.

w. J. Apple, special agent of
the United States department OF
agriculture, is spending the day in
the city. Mr.. Apple is on his re-
turn from trip up the Fort Smith
road, and says that he has prac-
tically succeeded in inducing the
business men of four counties, Con-
way, Logan, Pope and Yell, to
employ a government demonstra-
ton farm expert for service in those
counties. Faulkner county alone
has already made arrangements to
secure a similar expert for next
year.

SMALL FIRE LAST NIGHT
Cottage Belonging to Sam Collins in Color
ed Section was Burned.
FROM MONDAYS DAILY.

Fire last night destroyed small
cottage in the colored section OF
this city. The house was unoccu-
pied and the fire is thought to have
been of incendiary origin, the
blaze being first discovered near
the root. Hard work by several
negroes saved an adjoining cottage,
which, if it had burned, would
have caused St. Johns Baptist
church, colored, to up in flames.
The burued house belonged to Sam
Collins, colored, of Mayhower, and
was covered by mortgage in favor
of John F. Weinmann. The loss
is about $500.

ractice of his profession in this

practice of his profession in this
city.
When Mr.. Donaghey began his
campaign for governor, he secured
the services of Mr.. Bullion as his
confidential secretary, which posi-
ton he has since held. Practi-
cally without opposition he was
elected secretary of the state DEM,
ocratic central committee at the
convention held in Little Rock
last June.
Mr.. Bullion is now serving his
third term as alderman of the third
ward in this city and his removal
to Little Rock will necessitate the
election of successor early next
year.
Message Almost Completed.
Gov. Donaghey stated this
morning that the principal parts
of his inaugural message to the
general assembly had been drawn,
although the document had not
yet been reduced to its final form.
After spending the first six months
after his nomination educating
himself, as it were, for the
Office of chief executive, Mr.. Don
aghey has devoted all of his
spare time for the past sixty days
in digesting and putting in
to language the ideas gained
by him on his tour of the nation,
together with the principles out
lined in his platform when he made
the race for governor. In order to
be as free as possible from inter-
ruption, Gov. Donaghey secured
the temporary use of an office in
the upper story of the court house,
and there, surrounded by veri-
table library of data, he has been
hard at work upon the paper
which will embody his recommen-
dations to the Legislature and out
line the policy of his administra-
ton.

We are proud of the success of our Bank, and
we are verv thankful for the confidence the people
have shown in us by their liberal patronage.
Owing to the few years that our Bank has
been in business, and our policy of conhning most
of our loans to our home people, It has not the
statewide reputation that some older banks claim
to have. We are not, however, socltous iof such
reputation but we are VERY ANXIOUS to be
known by every man, woman and child IN Faux

AS public institution we feel great interest

knowing that our continued success depends large
ly upon the prosperity of all the people through
