GRIFFIN CAMPAIGNS
FRANKLIN COUNTY
CONWAY MAN WELL PLEASED
WITH PROSPECTS FOR
NOMINATION.

Apparently delighted with the sit
uation in the congressional race, Ben
L. Griffin left last night for Frank
lin county, where he will devote week
to a joint campaign with his oppon-
ent, H. NJ Jacoway, in the race for
congressman from the Fifth district.
The two candidates spoke last week
at eight appointments in Perry county,
and reports from that county are to
the effect that the Conway candidate
has considerably the best of the race
there. Persons who have been hearing
the congressional candidates speak
state that Mr.. Griffin makes an excel
lent impression on his hearers, and the
news from every section Of the district
is that he is in the lead in the race.
After canvassing this week in Frank
lin county, Mr.. Griffin and Mr.. Jaco-
way will spend the following week in
Yell, Jacoway's home county, and will
then campaign Griffin's home county.
The last week of the campaign will
be spent by them in Pulaski county.

We desire to appeal to the people of

where we have to haul off the rocks
and put it in good shape, we charge

We want to make our cemetery the
most beautiful place around Conway,
but we cannot do it if we have to work
under the same difficulties that we had
to contend with in the past. We can
not make our work look we'll where
we clean off one lot and have to leave
the one adjoining it uncleaned. Now,
if the owner of any lot in Oak Grove
cemetery is unable to pay for having
the work done, please notify the presi-
dent and she will have it done free of
charge.
We have employed Mr.. ]. J. Smith
to take charge of this work, and if
you will give us your work to do, we
will show you a great change in the
appearance of our cemetery. Pay
your money to Mrs. Annie Durham,
our treasurer, and she will notify me

work, kindly arrange to have it done
yourselves.

Curt Morris, a Drew county youth.
Morris was sentenced to serve a term
in the reform scnool and escaped. He
was recaptured and sent to the peni-
tentiary to complete his term. While
working on the state capitol, when the
tearing out first began, he missed his
footing and fell "a feet to a pile of
bricks below. His jaw was broken, a
hip splintered and lesser injuries were
received too numerous to mention. He
received such good attention in the

morrow night, and by the end of the

moved, leaving absolutely nothing in
the way of the contractors, who can
then rush their work.
The commission has virtually turned
the building over to the contractors,
and about the first of the month will
take off the convicts, not to put them
back until the building is so near com
pleted it is time to begin work upon
the lawns. Steel workers kept right
on at the capitol yesterday, in order
that the contractors might not be held
