RECEPTION AT CENTRAL

Always a delightful affair, the an
nual reception given last evening by
President and Mrs. w. w. Rivers to
the young ladies of Central College
wa if anything a greater success than
any preceding social event given in
the college. About $50 young men of
the city and of the two other colleges
were present, and their opportunity to
meet and converse with the many at
tractive young ladies of lie college
was one which they thoroughly en-
joyet. The college halls and parlors
were tastefully decorated and lighted
for the occasion. Punch was served in
the reception halls and the guests were
also served with chocolate and cake in
the dining hall. President and Mrs.
Rivers were assisted in receiving by
the other members of the faculty and
the local students of the college.

Ne print in this issue the announce

office of sheriff of Faulkner county
This Office is one the Importance of
which is not always realized, not so
much on account of its duties as a
peace officer, out because it carries
with it the office of collector of taxes.
in the latter capacity the officer may
almost be said to carry the titles to
the lands of the county in his hands,
as a slight error may result in the loss
of an innocent persons land, Mr.. Led
letters experience in the Office Of cir
cult clerk has been such as to emil
ertlv qualify him il this respect, and
those who know him we'll have no fear
that he would not discharge equally
well his duties as the chief peace officer
of the county Left an orphan when a
child, Mr.. Ledbetter has worked his
way through life, given himself thor
ough common school education ard has
at all times so conducted himself as to
earn both the respect and the good will
of the people, who have honored him
by clecting him to tie only other Office
| for which he was ever candidate.

MAY FORM new
BASEBALL CIRCUIT

Little Rock, Nov 23.-On account of
the long jumps required to get into the
Texas League, if Little Rock should
lose out of the Southern League, it is
hardly probable that Little Rock would
make an effort to get in the Texas
League at all, but turn in a different
direction where other towns could be
reached within nights travel To
do this it would be necessary to form
a new league, and it is not impossible
that this viii be done The new league
would have two Arkansas towns with
in its circuit. 1t would probably start
at st. Joe, Mo-, take in Springfield and
Joplin in Missouri, with Fort Smith
and Little Rock in Arkansas, and
three others if it would be an eight
club league, or one more if it was to
be a siX-club circuit. The jumps in
this league would be short and as the
owns are ABOUT The same size. the at
tendance would be uniform and it
should be d winner from the start

In the proper column Of this issue of
The Log Cabin Democrat will be found
the announcement of w. w. c'Bee"D
Lovl of Harve township, as candi-
date for treasurer of Faulkner coun-
ty. Mr.. Lovil is so we'll known over
the county as to need little introduc
ton to the readers of this paper. He
made strong though unsuccessful
race for this position four years ago,
and at the solicitation of many of his
friends has decided again to become q
candidate. He promises if elected to
devote his entire time to the duties Of
the office, which he says he would keep
open during the usual business hours
of the town. Nh Lovil will doubtless
prove strong candidate for the posi-

A. c. MARTIN FOR SENATOR.

The location of a great state institu-
ton in this county tremendously in
creases the Importance of the char
acter of Faulkner county's representa-
ton in the general assembly. Recog-
nizlng this fact, a large number of
citizens of the county have solicited
| Hon. A. c. Martin to make the race
! for state senator from the Twenty
seventh senatorial district, and his for
maj announcement appears in today
issue of this paper. Mr. Martin hest
tated 10 enter this race. as he has lived
here only = short time, but his friends
urged that he was so we'll fitted for the
position and gave him such assurances
of support that he decided to become
a candidate.
Mr.. Martin was born, reared and ed
Icated in Yell county. where he taught
school for a number of years. He
twice represented his county in the
lower house of the legislature, and at
the beginning of his second term was
prominently before the public as a
candidate for speaker, withdrawing
when he found that he lacked only
nine votes of being able to defeat
Speaker f. E. Brown for the position.
During his service he was active in
the support of Governor Donaghey in
his struggle with Caldwell & Drake,
The state capitol contractors. He was
also strong advocate of the laws
creating the state tax commission and
the four agricultural schools, as we'll
as the constitutional amendment for
Initiative and referendum. He intro
duced and successfully passed a bill |
tract, by which the state now receives |
81. 40 to $3.50 day for the labor of |
It's cOnvicts, instead of 80 cents, as |
under the Dickinson contract. He was
also a strong friend of the State Nor |
nal School, and the appropriations Sc
cured for it at the last session are due |
rs much to him, perhaps, as any other
man in the legislature. At the con-
,lusion of the session he moved with |
his family to make Conway his perma-
nent home, engaging in the practice of |
law as a partner of Col. G. w. Bruce,
and he has already won many friends
throughout the county.

THE ANSWER.
vainly Seek Health in Southwest.


According to a statement of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis fully 1880
persons hopelessly diseased with
tuberculosis annually come to die in
the states of California, Arizona, New
Mexico, Texas and Colorado, most of
them by order of their physicians. The
statement, which is based upon the
testimony of well-known experts, and
all valuable statistics, shows that at
least so per cent. of those who go to
the southwest every year for their
health are SO far advanced in their
disease that they cannot hope for a
cure in any climate, under any cir
cumstances. More than this, at least
so per cent. of these advanced cases
are so poor that they have not sufi-
cient means to provide for the proper
necessaries of life, which means that
4,315 consumptives are either starved
to death or forced to accept charitable
relief every year.

Childhood must have been a dreary
time when Lady Burton was a little
girl. 1.-The only times we were allowed
down stairs" she says in her reminis-
cences, "were at two o'clock luncheon
(our dinner), and to dessert for about
a quarter of an hour If u parents
mate friends. On these occasions l was
dressed in white muslin and blue rib
bons, and Theodore, my stepbrother.
in green velvet, with turnover lace col
lar. after the fashion of that time. We
were not allowed to speak unless spo-
ken to; we were not allowed to ask
for anything unless it was given to us.
We kissed our fathers and mothers
hands and asked their blessing before
going upstairs, and we stood upright
by the side of them all the time we
were in the room. In those days there
was no lolling about, no Tommy-keep-

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

1t is a serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when a per-
sons stomach is out of order and most
foods cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that it will
digest. Actual experience of people is
valuable to anyone interested in foods.
A Terre Haute woman writes: Il
had suffered with indigestion for about
four years, ever since an attack of ty-
phoid fever, and at times could a
nothing but the very lightest food,
and then suffer such agony with my
stomach / would wish / never had to
eat anything.
Il was urged to try Grape-Nuts and
since using it l do not have to starve
myself any more, but l can eat it at
any time and feel nourished and salts
fed, dyspepsia is a thing of the past,
and I am now strong and well.
MY husband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak
and sickly in the spring. Could not
attend to his work. He was under
the doctors care but medicine did not
seem to do him any good until he be-
gan to leave off ordinary food and use
Grape-Nuts. 1t was positively surpris-
ing to see the change in him. He grew
better right off, and naturally he had
Tor but words of praise for Grape
Nuts.
"Our boy thinks he cannot eat a
meal without Grape-Nuts, and he
learns so fast at school that his teach
er and other scholars comment on it.
l am satisfied that it is because of
the great nourishing elements in
Grape-Nuts."
There's a Reason"
1t contains the phosphate of potash
from wheat and barley which combine
with albumen to make the gray mat
ter to daily refill the brain and nerve
centers.
1t is a pity that people do not know
what to feed their children. There are
many mothers who give their young
sters almost any kind of food and
when they become sick begin to pour
the medicine down them. The real
way is to stick to proper food and
be healthy and get along without med
icine and expense.
Ever read the above letfers A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full OF humaz
