HENDRIX AGAIN YICT0RS
PILE UP BIG SCORE AGAINST CUMBERLAND IN GAME
 HERE SATURDAY.

Using the forward pass more effec- lively than in any game ever wit messed here, Hendrix overwhelmed Cumberland in the football game here Saturday afternoon, and put the local college in line for the state champion ship. In the three games Hendrix has played this season they have run up a total of l57 scores against total of 6 for their opponents, easily winning every contest. Although according to the dope, Henderson should repeat and win another state championship, the loyal Hendrix rooters claim their team has a good chance to defeat the war riors of A rkadelphia in the game here next Saturday, and by so doing the championship would unquestionably be HendriX's.
 Cumberland was an easy proposi- tion for Hendrix Saturday, 57 scores being piled up against the visitors, while the local collegians' goal was never in danger. Finding early in the game that line bucks were too slow process to make scores, Hendrix adopted the forward pass. The Hen drix backs also had little difficulty in the Cumberland ends. Long runs by Shirey, Staples, Tate, Don aldson and Hanesworth featured the game, and in this they were aided by good interference.
 Cumberland, however, never gave up the fight and put up game but intellectual defensive battle through out the contest. Basham, the visitors

BOTH SIDES APPEAL.

Both the plaintiff and the defendant took an appeal from the decision of a jury in the case of Mrs. w. B. Hines against Rufus Bryant, tried before Justice of the Peace w. B. Wilson to- day. The plaintiff brought suit to re- cover S30 on an alleged warranty made by the defendant, who sold her a COW, the plaintiff claiming the COW was guaranteed to give three gallons of milk day, while evidence was in troduced showing that only about one quart could be extracted from the ami maj in 24 hours. The plaintiff also claimed the COW was represented to have a calf six weeks old, when the said calf was actually seven months old. The defendant denied that he had made any warranty with the sale of the COW. After being out about two hours the jury returned verdict for the plaintiff for $2 damages, and both sides took an appeal to the circuit |court.

STORES TO CLOSE
 THANKSGIVING

Practically all of the local mer- chants signed an agreement this morning to close their stores all day Thanksgiving in order to give their employees and themselves the benefit of the holiday.
 It has been definitely decided not to play the Normal-Hendrix football game in the morning, but to pull it off in the afternoon as last year. The athletic interests of both institutions are anxious to make the Thanksgiving game a big annual event and believe it would not be a good idea to sub ordinate it to any game in any other city. Last years game between the two schools was witnessed by the larg- est crowd that had ever seen a foot ball game in this city.
 There will be no issue of the Daily Edition on Thanksgiving, and The Log Cabin Democrat employees will also observe the holiday.
 The following merchants signed the agreement to close for the entire day: Martin X Harton, J. s. Moore X Son,

GRAND JURY TO
 GRILL DESPERADO

Van Buren, Nov 15.-The sensa- tional attack of Lee Quinn, who board ed a moving passenger train, leaving Fort Smith the night of January IT, upon Patrolman Burgers of the Bor- der City police department, in an at tempt to liberate Quinn's brother, the patrolman's prisoner, an alleged de serter, is to be investigated by q grand jury which met here today.
 It is highly probable that the in dictment will be returned immediately, Consta able Ferguson that he did the shooting which nearly cost the life of Irving Brassfeld, a young man of Mulberry. After lying near deaths door for several months, Brassfeld recovered from his wound, thus sav- ing Quinn from a charge of murder. The shooting, from it's unusual and sensational nature, attracted state wide attention.
 Grant Quinn had been arrested in Fort Smith, charged with desertion from the United States army. His brother, Lee, determined upon a bold and hazardous attempt to free him. Finding out the train the officers would take with his brother, he laid in wait at Cherokee Junction, where the train made progress slowly through the network of switches. He easily climbed aboard, and with the pistol in his hand, started through the crowded coaches. The officer and Quinn were in the smoking car Lee Quinn approached from the rear and opened fire, intending to disable the officer, break the shackles and flee with his brother, but there were other pis- tols on the train besides Quinn's, and springing to the aid of the officer of the law several determined men drew beads on Quinn, who fled for his life. After the smoke of the brief battle had cleared away Irving Brassfield, "an innocent bystander," was found to be desperately wounded.

BEGIN WORK ON DRAINAGE.

Paragould, Nov 1.-Two sets of viewers with Engineer Charles Wad- dell in charge began today to lay out the course for the big ditch which will drain portion of Greene and Law renee counties on lower Cache river The preliminary surveys have already been completed, but the work started today makes the actual beginning of one of the biggest projects in Arkan- sas. By coincidence, the other big drainage project in Desa county will reach a spectacular completion this week with the dynamiting of this wall of earth at the end of the completed canal which will release billions of gallons of water from thousands of acres of land. The ditch here will run for IS miles on the land between Greene and Lawrence counties and will straighten, widen and deepen low CT Cache river. There will be five lateral ditches, three in Greene and two in Lawrence counties.
 The total cost will be $250 000, and 75,000 acres of land will be drained. The bonds for this gigantic undertak- ing were sold in Arkansas, the State National Bank having purchased them after the commissioners had failed to secure an acceptable proposition in the eastern money markets.

SCOOOL BUILDING
 BURNS AT LEXINGTON

Clinton, Nov. 15.-Last Thursday night between and o'clock the Lex ington high school building was de- stroyed by fire. Information in regard to the burning is very meager, but it is generally understood and believed that the fire was of incendiary origin. Some reports from there are that no fire had been in the house for two days before the burnout. Another IS that the house was oiled and set fire just at the top of the steps on the second floor, and that this fact prevented those earliest on the ground from putting out the flames. Some claim that the odor of burning oil was plain ly detected. Excitement over the burning is at fever heat among the people of that vicinity, whc are work ing night and day to run down the guilty party.
 Tuck McGlathery has been arrested charged with the crime, and his pre- liminary hearing is set for today. What evidence, if any more than sus- picion, has been secured against him has been kept secret by the officers.
 The house was new two-story frame structure, erected last year at a cost of S2,000, and had only recently been fitted up with patent desks, blackboards, charts, etc. The total loss is between S2,300 and $2, 400, par tially covered by insurance.

RAIN RETARDS TRADE.

A steady rain which has been fall ing throughout the day has made this the dullest business day of the autumn in Conway. Trade in overshoes, um- brellas and raincoats was brisk this morning, but outside of these lines there was little doing in the local stores. It was anticipated that cold wave would follow the rain, bringing the first active demand of the season for winter clothing, but the forecast today is for continued unsettled and warmer weather.

Good READING.

A good book is the next best thing
to good friend. Indeed, there is such
a thing as the friendship of books, for
a book often performs the friendly
function of beguiling our tedium or
solacing our affection There are
books we take from the shelf in the
spirit in which we grasp the hand of
friend. The leather binding with
which we are so familiar seems to be
the outer integument inclosing a soul,
human personality When we start
to read, it is as though we became the
docile listener, willingly allowing our
1magfnations to be led captive by the
enchanting language of a living speak
er. Just as being with bad man is
likely to have demoralizing effect
upon our characters, so the intimate
association with bad box may in
f1uence us in the direction of a de-
PRAYED and perverted point of view.
It is said that a man may be known
by the company he keeps. He may
also be known by the books that are
on his five-foot shelf or in his pigskin
library.
