we may add is the beautiful spirit of
the noble woman whose death Is
mentioned above. Though we feel
that we owe to her memory a tribute
of admiration and love, we hesitated
as we write, for we know so well that
IN the great humility of her heart,
she would have US shun the task.
And we know also that the radiance
of her love fell on so many of her fe!-.
low beings that 1t were almost useless
to~tell of 1t. Still we must say that
to her the word self was unknown.
The good she might do to others was
her constant aim and thought, and
faithfully did she keep to her noble
ideals. for though her position in life
was not of affluence, yet no roof was
more hospitable than hers. Though
her health, was not strong, her hands
never failed in the performance Of
her daily work, TO which she joined
many charitahle deeds. In her last
aud long Illness she gave rare in

Prohibition in Alabama.

The state and county officials of Mobile, Ala. having failed in their efforts to enforce the prohibition law have adopted a method of bring ing offenders to justice which, whether or not it proves efficacious. is novel and original, and if it works all right It will be applied in other counties of the state.
 The prohibition law went into ef- feet in Alabama a couple of months ago. In rural communities and in some of the smaller towns, it has been enforced, and through the vigilance of the officers numerous convictions have been secured. In large cities the law is virtually a nullity. True, the open saloons have been closed. but in their places blind tigers have sprung up. In Mobile, during the past two months, there have been more than one hun- dred prosecutions fnr illicit wh;skY selling and not one conviction.
 To meet this condition the officers charged with enforcement of the law will try new trick. They will ask for injunctions against the sale of liquor. This will dc amay with the trial of offenders before juries. When man is arrested for selling liquor he will be taken before the chancellor or the judge who issued the injunction. and that official will pass upon his guilt.
 This plan is decided innovation in legal proceedings and it's work ings will be watched with interest," Times Record.
The Mena weekly star., 1909-11-04
PROSPERITY

The Lockesburg Enterprise carries a line at the top of it's first page which reads: Any Country That Grows It's Own Forage Is Prosper ous."
 At first glance that might seem a bit overdrawn. and we believe it is. but there's good deal of truth in the assertion, for the country that produces it's own forage is not only keeping at home large amount of money that otherwise goes away to make some other country prosper ous, but is very likely to produce more stock to consume forage than otherwise, as well as grain and other things necessary to feed the stock and allof these make for prosperity
 Just as the family that produces what it consumes is prosperous and free from the effects of panics and hard times, so is country. That is why. taken as whole, Polk county would be better off with less cotton growing. Then the people would produce more of the things they consume, the things they must have to live, whether they produce them Or send money elsewhere to buy them.
 When the people of Polk county take advantage of the opportunities that nature gives them to produce what they need, and the people of Mena purchase as much as possible of their needs through home chan nels and from home people, we will all be more prosperous.
