COMMENCEMENT HT
CENTRAL COLLEGE

The graduating program last
night marked the end of the most
delightful commencement exercises
and the close of the most success
full year of Central College. More
students have been enrolled, more
graduates awarded diplomas and
perhaps more real work accom-
plished than ever before in the
history OF the institution.
Rev. H. l.. Winburn of Ark
adelphia delivered the baccalaur-
cate address last night, his subject
being The Patriots Creed" !"
Space forbids a review of his splen-
did oratorical effort, which was
thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
The diplomas were awarded by
President w. w. Rivers, and after
a song, Farewell to Thee" by
the senior class, the medals were
awarded as follows:
Scholarship, Miss Lizzie Ellis
berry; housekeeping, Miss Flossie
Simms Thomas; improvement in
music, Miss Avis Gills. The
honor pupils for the year are Miss
es Bette Clay Cason, Belle Mid
yeti, Bo1nie Belle Tatum and Mag
gle Harris.

The above telegram from the
first assistant postmaster general
which was received by Postmaster
0. ]. Owen Tuesday, was the first
official news of the confirmation of
his appointment, which has been
pending in the senate since jan
uary 9, when it was made by
President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Ovens appointment ex-
tends for four years from the date
it was confirmed, and as he is sue
ceeding himself, he will have ser
we'd eight years and three months
at the expiration of his second
term.
The appointment of Mr.. Owen
gives general satisfaction to the
patrons of the postoffice, who
regard Mr.. Owen as one of the
most efficient and courteous, as
we'll as the most enterprising post
master the city has ever had.
During his occupancy of this posi-
ton he has done much to add to
the convenience of the patrons,
one of the most highly appreciated
conveniences being the arrange
ment of the office so that the front
is open day and owners of lock
boxes are able to get their mail at
any hour.
Mr.. Owen hopes, on the show
ing of largely increased receipts,
to be able to get two additional
clerks for the office here, in order
that his present force may have
more reasonable hours and the eff
fciency of the service still further
increased.

FACULTY FOR NORMAL CHOSEN
Six Teachers Selected by Board
of Trustees.
Faculty is Now Complete with One Ex
ception-Three Arkansans Among

With the exception of one de-
partment, the faculty for the Ar
kansas State Normal school is now
complete, the teachers having been
elected at a meeting of the board

Department of reading and mu-
sic-To be selected.
There were almost a dozen ap-
plications for each position OH the
faculty, which have been under
consideration by the members of
the board for several months, SO
that it is generally believed the
best possible judgment was used
in selecting the faculty.
President Doyne was chosen to
head the Normal some months ago,
and will resign his Office as super
intendent of public instruction on
July I to take active charge of his
new work..
Prof. Wilson has been for a
number of years teacher in the
high schools of Fort Smith. He
is graduate of the state Univer-
sity and has had postgraduate
work in the Chicago University.
He will receive a salary of $3.50
per annum.
Miss Wicker was highly recon-
mended to the board by DR.. Wy
cliffe Rose, secretary of the Pea
body board, who regards her as
one of the finest teachers ever
graduated from the Peabody Nor
NAL at Nashville, Tenn. Her sal
ary will be $1,000.
Miss Waldron of the department
of English will receive salary of
$1,000, and that of Miss Rasor of
the department of drawing will be
5000.
Prof. Longstreth. who has been
teaching in the high school at
Little Rock, is also an enthusiast
ic promoter of athletics. His sal
ary will be S. 500.
The salary of Prof. Nivens will
also be $500 year.
The executive committee of the
board, consisting of the four mem
bers who reside in Little Rock 4,
was given authority to select a
teacher for the department of read
ing and m usic.

TO NOMINATE DONAGHEY
Sam Frauenthal of this City will Place
His Name Before Convention

Sam Frauenthal of this city has
been selected to make the nomin-
ating speech and place the name
of George w. Donaghey before the
Democratic convention at Little
Rock next week, as the Democratic
nominee for governor. Mr.. Dona-
ghey authorized this statement
while in Little Rock Tuesday.
Mr.. Frauenthal is a close friend
of Mr.. Donaghey and because of
this and the fact that he is a Con-
way man he was chosen.
1t is thought probable that the
remainder of the ticket will be
nominated by acclamation and
without any formality.

new LEVEE PROVES WORTH
Protects Thousands of Acres
From Overflow.
Arkansas River Higher Than for Years
Many Unprotected Farms Covered
With Water.

The big food of water now
coming down the Arkansas river
is giving the new levee in this
county its first test and is proving
its worth by protecting thousands
of acres of farm land from the
overflow. A stage of 26 feet at
Little Rock will be reached today
bringing the water three feet
above the flood stage.
Parties who visited the river
front in this county yesterday
afternoon report that the levee and
the locks and dams are holding
the water perfectly. Probably
5000 acres of fine growing cotton
and corn would be under water
today from two to six feet, and the
levee has more than paid for itself
by protecting this land.
Below the levee in this county,
however, are thousands of acres
under water and the damage will
be enormous, and several hundred
acres between the river bank and
the levee are also submerged.
No fears whatever are entertain
ed as to a break in the levee and
it is stated that stage six feet
higher than at present can be easily
held off the fields.
