Hon. Z. S. Gambler, Jr., of the

district this fall. His district lies

State t o the south and being only
from one TO two counties wide from

Helps Himself
 to MaTsha!'s Wood

For the past several weeks Deputy Marshal Drake has been very busy saving and splitting his winters sup ply of wood. He has nice lot of stove wood, all piled up, by the back door, which is the best of all, and is for use in the coolstove. Monday he made a business trip to Kemperville, and some provident person could not overlook this opportunity of securing some good wood. This man, who evidently be- lieves that opportunity knocks only once at a mans door, took his sled and going boldly up to the pile of wood which is Mir. Drake's especial pride, loaded his sled to the utmost and pro- ceeded to take it home. He came back for a second load, but it is presumed he felt some bangs of compassion for the deputy marshal, as he reconsidered and took home an empty sled.
 Several people saw the man taking the wood but supposed it was some person who had a right to do so, and said nothing. The loss of this wood has
 hurt Mr. Drake good deal, and when Q person talks of getting wood ahead he says, "What's the use, anyhow"

The ladies of Hot Springs are al- ready making preparations for a Japan ese costume dance which they propose to give on Thanksgiving night. The hall will be elaborately decorated with lanterns and bunting, everything being arranged with true oriental effect. The dresses of the ladies will also be along the same line, and the Japanese kimono will be the favorite gown for the evening, and even the lunch to be given will be served by subjects of the Mikado.
 There will be no dance until that time, and it is expected there will be 8 large attendance.
