OWLS HAVE BIG
 BUSINESS MEETING
ky-Laus 0i Local Nest Are Adopted. Dr. 0. W. Clark is Elected Nest
 Physician-Other Officers Elected

The Owls met again Tuesday night and adopted the bylaws of the local nest, which was only recently organ ized here and which already has. a large membership. The bylaws were carefully prepared and assure suc- cess. for the order Much other busi- ness was transacted by the members. It was the purpose of the members to lease. and furnish a hall but it was finally decided not to take this step until the lodge was in better financial condition and could pay cash for it's furnishings and furnish hall elaborately. The trustees were instructed to confer with the hall committee of the Imperial-Juliet lodge, Knights of Pythias, and lease the K of P. hall for a term of six months, with two meetings a month. At the expiration of the contract the Owls will be in position to lease and furnish hall of their own for term of years.
 The adoption of the bylaws pro- vided that no elective officer of the local nest should hold two offices in the nest at the same time. This ne cessitated the resignation of Meyer Solmson as invocator. and George W. Plastow was elected to fill the ta- cancy. MT. Solmson will continue as one of the trustees of the nest. Dr. Asa Brunson also resigned as trustee and the vacancy was filled by the election of R. w. Crowley. Dr. O. w. Clark, the well-known local physician and surgeon, was elected nest physician. The meeting was largely attended and several initia- tions were recorded. The Pine Bluff Nest of Owls gives promise of beins one of the strongest in the South.

Almost Every Candidate M ade New Record and tbo remarkable Thing About It is the Way They All Keep Bunched-see the Pictures at Elks Theatre.

Every contestant avaiIed them selves or the opportunity to secure double votes yesterday, and came in with a bunch of new subscriptions that boosted them up in the list.
 From 5 o'clock on the voting was continuous. and there was no letup until the bell rang last night.
 And now hustle" is the word. do not lose a minnte-only seven more days.
 Keep at it-keep at if all the time until the bell rings at the last min ute of the last hour.
 And another thing, do not pay any attention to what you hear about any particular candidate being so far i'll the lead that no other stands any chance of winning. Remember this ia an old political dodge to keep others rom working. Do not be deceived: keep right at it. and if you do not win, you will have nothing to re- gret.
 What will count mostly from this time on will be new subscriptions votes A few of these will go much farther in boosting your standing than any other method, and while others may be spending time in other ways, you reap the votes best in gath ering new subscriptions
