Reid May Run for Governor.

Hon. Charles Chester Reid, of MOrrilton, lawyer. statesman and orator, is contemplating making the race for governor.
 Mir. Reid would make a strong race. He has made brilliant reputation as a Congressman and it is generally conceded that he is the strongest man yet men toned in opposition to Gov. Donaghey. He would in all probability attract the anti Dona- ghey forces and a large percent of the Farmers Uion element which would render the contest a close one.
 Mr Reid is at present making a personal investigation of the gubernational situation. Should he decide to enter the campaign he will prove himself a formid able opponent for the other as- pirants to the governors office.

Memphis' Union Depot.

A magnificent and com mOdi- ous union depot has been propos- ed for Memphis, but at a meeting of the representatives of the rail roads last week the officials of the various roads were unable to agree and the project resulted in a dismal failure.
 It Is unfortunate for Memphis that the new depot will not be built. The railroads will now build separate depots which will render connections in that city inconvenient. This will natur- ally cause a decrease in passen- ger travel through Memphis as many passengers prefer to go out of their way in order to avoid a city where changes must be made in which the depots are located far apart. In addition to this the absence of a union depot in Memphis is quite out of keeping with the general pro- gress of that rapidly growing metropolis.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal of Sunday contained an exhaustive account of the rice industry at Stuttgart and vicini- ty. The Commercial Appeal has thousands of readers and it is through such mediums that the advantages of the Arkansas rice lands are being exploited throughout the country and drawing substantial and pro- gressive citizens from far and wide to this section of the state. These gentlemen come here with the purpose of engaging in rice growing and thus further the greatest industry of Central Arkansas.

Star of Bethlehem is Out.

What is called the Star of Bethlehem" which is supposed to have appeared at the time of the birth of Christ, can now be seen about 3 o'clock each morn ing in the eastern sky, just a little to the south of east. Ac- cording to astronomers, this star was firt recorded about the year l, A. D., and some think it is the star the Wise Men follow ed. The star can be seen from 5 o'clock until dawn, and has the appearance of a red light in the sky. It is easy to distinguish from the other stars because of it's peculiar light. It is said to appear about every five hundred years. It will disappear in about two weeks.
 Rev. J. M. Cline, of Benton. Mo-, who is an astronomer as well as preacher, is using a telescope to show the star to his congregation and is conducting night services in connection with the appearance of the star.

Hazen's Celebration.

HaZen will entertain the United Confederate Veterans with a picnic and barbecue on August 18th.
 There are few conventions of any nature which are more commendable than a Confederate reunion. The ranks of old sol diers are rapidly thinning and a few years more and their last re union will have been held. These meetings are a source of joy and pride to the old warriors and every veteran living within a reasonable distance is sure to be in attendance next Thursday.
 But, judging from the large and gay colored posters de scribing the event, the Veterans are not the only ones who will be entertained. With the great ar ray of oratory, athletics, dancing and what not, promised for the occasion there will be amuse- ment and diversion for all.
 We are going to be loyal to Hazen on that day and return the courtesy which our sister city has shown us on bygone oc- casions by turning out in large numbers. Count on us, Hazen

The state meeting of the Farm CTS Union took place in Little Rock last week. This body is composed of that element of SO ciety which has rightly been called the bulwark of the nation. The time predicted by it's enc mics for it to die has long since passed and the order is in the most prosperous period of it's existence. The Farmers Union is undoubtedly performing a great service for it's members and will continue the good work as long as the farmers know their needs.

A Texas editor, while glancing over the papers, has discovered number of cases where people have been injured in various parts of the anatomy. Here are few cases cited: While Miss Kinsmore, of East Wind, Ind, was coming down stairs Tues day, she slipped and bruised her self on the landing. Amos Nit tleby, of Woolpost, Kan, while harnessing fractious horse. was kicked just south of the corn crib; he is able to be about again. While Harold Green, of Beulah, Miss, was escorting Miss Violet Goof home from a church sociable Saturday night savage dog set upon them and bit Miss GOof four times on the public square. Joseph Tut, of Grimmelsburg, Iowa, climbed on the top of his house last week to find a leak and fell, striking on his back porch, causing serious injuries. Isiah Trimmer, of Dolbery, Neb., was playing with cat Friday, when the animal scratched him on the verandah.
 The above article shows the ludicrous effects which often result when writers fail to place their modifying clauses in the right place.
