Benton and Alden Bridge Contest,

Last Friday, in the auditorium and on
the campus OF Benton High School, most
exciting meet occurred between Alden
Bridge and Benton High Schools. There
were four contests in all, three between the
literary societies of the two schools and a
basket ball contest between the girls of the
two institutions.
The literary contests were in the fore
noon, basket ball in the afternoon. A
large audience greeted the joint program
of the two societies in the morning. Both
schools were we'll represented and fiery
contest was the result, everything, how
ever, in good spirit.
Superintendent W. A. Fortson, DR.. B.
Wise and Prof. F. A. Hensley were chosen
as judges.
The first contest was between Mary
Wheeler Maury for Benton and Mary
Lizzie Wise for Alden Bridge. The read
ings Of both little girls were excellent, but
the decision of the judges was given in
favor of little Miss Maury.
The second contest was between Jessie
Daniel for Benton and Madeline Smith for
Alden Bridge, the decision of the judges
going to the latter.
The debate was spirited one and right
we'll was the question handled by both
sides. The affirmative was represented by
Marie Creswell and Bennett Johnston Of
Benton; Clarence Spreuill and Marie
Courtney for Alden Bridge. The question
was, "Resolved that Washington's claim
to greatness was superior to that of Ma
poleon." The decision Of the judges was
unanimous in favor of Benton.
To sum up, Benton won one reading
contest and the debate; Alden Bridge, one
reading contest.
| In the afternoon Benton's basket ball
team was defeated by Alden Bridge. The
score was 10 to 4.
There were other features of the joint
program but no more contests.
The entertainment was a postponed

bration.

Success.

He has achieved success who has lived
we'll, laughed often and loved much; who
has gained the respect of intelligent men
and the love of little children; who has
filled his niche and accomplished his task !;
who has left the world better than he
found it, whether by an improved poppy,
a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who
has never lacked appreciation of the
earth's beauty or failed to express it; who
has always looked for the best in others
and given the best he had; whose life was
an inspiration; whose memory is a bene-
diction.-1. j. Stanley.

Only Dog.
Only dog, but he loved me,
Only dog, that was all,
Willing and anxious to serve me,
Ready to come at my call
For tramp in the hills or the marshes,
For a frolic or just short Jog.
He was never too tired or weary,
He was my pal, but only dog.
Out in the hills in the autumn,
Hunting the wary quail;
Out in the marshes in winter
Shooting wild duck and rail;
Always my pal and companion,
Tired, yet we would persist,
And he sort O. seemed glad when my aim was true,
And thought me dub when / missed.
Only dog, but SO faithful,
No human more constant and true.
He seemed glad when was happy,
When was sad, it seemed that he knew,
And in his dumb way tried to tell me
That he really understood,
And his honest brown eyes would plainly say
would help you, old man, if I could.
Always as faithful in serving,
Always ready for play,
Gentle and kind with the children,
Uneasy when they were away;
Loved by all who knew him,
And if there's such place over there
As nice little heaven for doggies:
He was only dog, but he's there.

A Tribute.

A beautiful life, one full of love and
patience, has closed in the death of Mrs
E. E. Jones. Mrs. Jones' walk in life was
one of kindness to all. Sweet in DISPOSE
ton, her heart was full of devotion to her
God and her children, as we'll as her
neighbors, who declare that hers was a
spotless life without blemish upon her
fair name.
Mrs. Jones died after a long illness at
the home Of her son-in law, Senator w. B.
Boggs, where she received every kindness
and attention that loving hands could
bestow. She is survived by four children
Mrs. W. B. Boggs, Mrs. W. c. Banks,
Mrs. W. c. Meares and Mr.. G. E. Jones.
She was born in Georgia, and died in her
sixty seventh year. She was devoted to
her friends and loved by the whole of
Plain Dealing.
To offer consolation to the heart broken
children would be weak effort to heal
their heart wounds, but we have every
assurance that at the great white throne
mother is there. We know that mothers
love can never be supplemented. In all
our joys or sorrows mother takes leading
part. The sweetest word in language and
the one that carries with it the greatest
depth of love and devotion is that of
"mother." 1t is the first words our
tongues learn to lisp. It is mother who
teaches the little feet to walk and the lips
to utter prayer. She is the joy of our
childhood and the guardian angel Of our
years of maturity.
When Rome trembled at the approach of
Coriolanus' avenging arms the city was
saved by his mothers tears. Should
Christianity be compelled to flee from the
halls of legislators and the throng of busy
men its last and purest retreat would be
with the mother at the Preside; its last
audience the children at her knees, and its
last sacrifice the secret prayer escaping
her lips, heard perhaps only at the throne
of God.
A mothers love goes with us through
every trial in life. In adversely, as we'll as
prosperity, her love attends our steps
When death comes the last soft touch is q
mothers hand.

BUG FRIENDS AND ENEMIES
Two important Insects Known TO
FruitgroWers-Bene Species
often Destroyed by Mistake.

Very much confusion prevails in
the common naming OF two very i'm
portant insects among the fruitgrow-
ers, writes John Isaac, In Orchard and
Farm. One of these is classed as
among the worst pests with which
our orchards are afflicted; the other
is in all ways and at all times bene-
dcial; yet, owing TO this confusion OF
names, the beneficial species is often
destroyed under the impression that
it is injurious. These are the dia-
brotica, or as it is frequently called,
the green ladybug," and the genuine
ladybirds.
In the first place, the green lady
bug" is not a ladybug at all, and
should not be so named. It's proper
name is diabrotica, and We know Of
no common name for it. II differs in
appearance from the whole ladybug
family in being longer, more slender,
in having its head distinct from the
body, in having neck or distinct
