close of the memorable revival at

were in attendance at the Sulphur

SKETCH OF MR.. DONAGHEY
a Native of Louisiana and Was Raised
on the Farm

George w. Donaghey was horn in
Oakland, La, July |, 1856. He came
to Arkansas in 1861 He returned to
his native state shortly afterward, but
returned to Little Rock for a second
time in 1879, this time to make Arkan-
sas his home. His father was a farm
er and during the early years of his
life Mr.. Donaghey worked on the farm.
During the greater part of his life in
Arkansas Mr.. Donaghey has lived at
Conway, where he has resided for %
years.
For the past fifteen years Mr. Don
aghey has been a contractor. His
start was made when he entered the
shop of J. A. Pence as a cabinet work
err. From that he branched out and
today is one of the most widely-known
contractors in the state. His first
large piece of work was in 1890, when
he undertook the construction of Hen
dirk College in Conway. Since that
he has built several buildings at Ell
Dorado, a fine Methodist church at
ton county at Fayetteville, which was
erected at a cost of 800, 900, and which
is one of the finest buildings of its
kind in the South. He also rebuilt the
insane asylum at Little Rock after the
tornado of 1894 and was member of
the first Board of Capital Commission
ers for the new capitol building at
Little Rock.
His reputation as a contractor is not
confined to Arkansas, and as far back
as 1897 he built the court house build
ing at Longview, Tex, at cost of
S50, 900, also fine annex to the state
asylum at Terrell, Tex. He has done
much work in Oklahoma and other
states and has spent much time in large
contract work of depots and other
buildings for the Rock Island, often
having several contracts at the same
time.
Mr.. Donaghey was married Sep
TENDER 20, 1883, to Miss Louvenia
Wallace. She was a native of South
Carolina, but came to Arkansas in
1868. She had to large extent the
care of the Donaghey home place of
so acres in the suburbs of Conway.
On account of his extensive operations
Mr.. Donahey is absent from home a
great deal, and the work of the ':town
! farm goes on under his fine wife's
guidance.
Mr.. Donaghey is well-to-do., as to

SKETCHES FROM OKLAHOMA
Kelley Gibson Writes of Things Seem
and Heard in the New State

Dear Editor: We have heard somuch
talk of oklahoma, | will attempt to-
write a sketch of what I have seen
and heard since | have been in the
state.
| left Augusta Wednesday morning,
March 18th, for Little Rock. At | 30
p. m. / took Rock Island car for
Oklahoma City, arriving at 6:l0 Thurs
day morning. Oklahoma City has %
population of about $4,000. The city
has good street car service and has
600 automobiles. 1t has about II
miles of paved streets, and some good
horses, but the most of their stock is
run down. This is the largest city in
the state and no doubt will continue to
grow for years to come. The country
surrounding the city is broken prairie
of black sand and produces we'll,
but there is no chance to buy land at
reasonable price. Land sells from
$40 to $l20 per acre.

Duncan. Here | met an old friend,

them for one night and day This part
of the state is more adapted to cotton
although they raise good deal ofcorn,
oats and wheat and enstead of black
sand it is red sand, almost as red as
blood. | went north from Duncan to
Tulsa, distance of 220 miles, and to-
get in a quite place I came TO Broken
Arrow, Is miles east of Tulsa. Here
Ihave made the acquaintance of several
people. The surrounding country is
the best farming land | have seen,
especially for corn. A man can easily
cultivate 90 to 10 acres with one team,
and it produces from 30 to IS bushels
of corn to the acre. They have good
roads, good schools, good health and
no negroes.
Here | meet men from everywhere,
from all states in the union, but moro
from Arkansas and Missouri than
any other states. An Arkansas greeny

from over the line, also.
One gauky fellow heard that | was
from LittleA Rock. He walked five
blocks and waited until returned to
the hotel, to ask if jeff Davis had

Most men are as peaceable here as
back home, although there are some
toughs, but they are drifting westward
Horses are higher here than back
home, and a man coming from Ar
kansas to this state would do well to
bring his stock with him if he eritends
to farm.
[ can't say how long l will be here,

Who knew her thankful that she

who knew her thankful that she
lived. AS a devoted wife, a
fond mother, a true friend, a
ministering angel to the sick, a
wielder of elevating influence,
she was we'll worthy of imitation.
Her devotion to her religion and
her unfaltering interest in the
welfare Of her children were
portrayed in her last request to
her family, which was that all
livesconsencrated lives and care
tenderly for Grace, her little
daughter.
Now as her cheering smile is
seen no more, her gentle voice
ceases to be heard, and her
generous deeds are felt no longer
let us lay the choicest flowers of
the spring time upon her grave,
fondly retain her in our memories
and wait for the dawning of that
day when we shall greet her
again never to say good bye.
