SHAI-NEW COUNCIL is
NAMED.

The most hotly- contested municipal
election ever held in Conway resulted
in the nomination for marshal of W..
H. Duncan as mayor by majority of
eight votes over his opponent, A. j.
Witt, the present incumbent; the de-
feat of City Marshal J. R. Charles by

each ward.
Out of a total vote of 1898, Duncan
received POI votes to 1913 for Witt
The successful candidate carried the
First and Third wards by sufficient
majority to overcome the lead of his
opponent in the Second ward.
Clibourne's plurality over Charles
was 3S Clibourne carried the First
and Second wards and Charles the
Third. The marshafs race .Xclted
greater interest than any of the other
contests. A report circulated IN the
afternoon that j. A. King, who was
regarded as strong candidate for
the position, had withdrawn, caused
him to lose votes to both Charles and
Clibourne, three fourths of the votes
being cast after II o'clock, and the
opposition to Charles centering their
strength on CEbourne.
Opie Hartje was nominated without
opposition to a third term as city re-
corder, and c. H. Newbern, who has
served as alderman for the past five
years, had nc opposition to his candi-

JOHN COX REMARRIES
HIS DIVORCED WIFE

John Cox of Lonoke, father of Rev.
Ben Cox, pastor of the Second Baptist
church of Little Rock, was last night
married for the second time to Mrs.
Dora d. Cox, his former wife, from
whom he had been divorced less than
a year. The wedding took place in
Menty & Dollahite's grocery store in
this city shortly after the arrival of
the couple on the evening train from
Little Rock, and the ceremony was
pronounced by Justice of the Peace
w. B. Wilson.
Mr.. Cox married his wife the first
time in the autumn of 1908, and after
living together only short time he
instituted successful suit for divorce
against her, the court allowing her, it
is stated alimony of $1,000. The mar
riage at that time caused considerable
of a comment, owing to the promi-
nence of the groom's son over the
state Their first attempt to marry
occurred here and the friends of the
son prevailed upon the elder Cox not
to be married. Later, however, they
went to Memphis and were married
and the divorce suit followed a few
months later.
Mrs. Cox was formerly Mrs. Dora
Dunlap and was the wife of Edward
Dunlap, who conducted a saloon in
Conway in the sos. She is the owner
of the business building in which she
was married last night.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cox left for their
home at Lonoke this morning.

A STRONG TRIO.

When Judge Light, Ollie Killough
and Frank Dickinson got to Washing
ton something had to happen and
something did happen. The president,
the vice president and the speaker of
the house took notice that the visit
ors from Arkansas were "some pump
kins" and the bill introduced by Sen
ator Clarke to appropriate $4,000 for
survey of the St. Francis and other

and the organization which he has
promulgated.
This man is the pioneer of Florida
and women upon Florida farms. Less
than one year ago Charles H. Sieg or
ganized his first colony, which was To-
Gated in st. Johns Park, Florida.
Every acre Of the 10000 comprising
this colony was sold within 30 days.
The demand was so great that Mr..
Sieg secured another tract of land,
amounting to some $4,000 acres, at
Jacksonville Heights. and this in turn
was sold out with the rapidly Of the
first colony.
To-day at these two great colonies,
st. Johns Park and Jacksonville
Heights. are to be seen many beauti-
full cottages; hundreds of farms are
being worked; settlers are thoroughly
satisfied; land values have arisen
1000, and many Of those settlers who
bought land, and have not even i'm
proved II as yet, are actually refusing
In profits more than the amount of
money they paid for their homes.
Then Mr.. Sieg began his search for
his greatest and his best Florida farm
community. After careful scrutiny
Of all Florida lands, he decided that
Marion County. north Of the County
Seat, Ocala, held the greatest promise
for his ideals, and he purchased a
large tract Of land here.
Upon one side of this property lies
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad; on
the other, the Seaboard Air Line; and
through the heart fit travels the
Ocala & Northern Railroad. Upon
the eastern border of the colony,
which Mr.. Sieg has called Burbank.

runs, and over the breast of its waters

One Of the most tremendous land
movements ever seen in America Is
progressing at the present time to-
wards Burbank-O cala Colony, In
Marion County, Florida. One simply
cannot comprehend what 1t means to
see thousand people purchasing
farms in just few days. One has
no idea of q country that one month
contains no habitations, and the next
thirty days is dotted over with cot
tages; is throbbing and active with
life and movement, and is the center
Of Improvement that equals, If not sur
passes, those great days Of the far
west when whole counties were peo-
pied over night.
But this movement towards Florida
is far more interesting and of greater
import than any movement towards
land heretofore recorded in this coun-
try. The primal influence of this
great movement is Charles H. Sieg

MES In 1909. The response to these
announcements was so great that 1t
surpassed the ideas of Mr.. Sieg. To.
day tho evidence which this man has
at his finger ends of the enormous
demand for Florida soil, is more aston.
ishing than the reading OF a work OF
fiction.
Surely this is the day Of back to
the soil.
To take a trip over the Burbank
Ocala Colony is to have a pleasure
that amounts almost to q vacation.
AS one approaches Florida upon
any Of the great railroads reaching
this state, one is at once struck with
the conversation one hears in the
smoking, dining or sleeping car. This
conversation is almost wholly con.
fined to the topic of Florida, and gives
an insight into the real condition of
the fame Of this great state, for these
people come from almost every sec
tion of the North American continent.
Every train carries many men and
women who are going to Florida, and
strange as 1t may seem, the majority
of them are routed to Burbank Ocala
Colony.
From the worn-out hills of New Eng
land, from the cold and bleak noun.
tain camps of the mining districts of
the Rockies, from beautiful California,
from chill and snow-laden Canada,
from the cities and from the farms,
Catholic and Jew, college professor
and bricklayer-these are the people
who are settling today in Burbank
Ocala colony. Every race, every re-
ligion, every trade and every profess
sion has some man or woman who is
settler at Burbank Ocala, and who
from this fact, prove that this land
satisfies all people and all classes Of
people.
There are three new townsites in
this colony, places where Chas H. Sieg
and his organization have decided to
build cities. When one sees what
these cities were but a short time
ago, and looks at them when one ar
rives at Burbank-Ocala Colony, one
has an idea Of what their appearance
will be six months from today.
The people are moving upon the fer
tile fields of Burbank Ocala Colony in
large numbers; they are preparing
those fields for the reception of their
first crops; they are building their
homes, and in the wake Of these set
tiers is travelling the commerce to
the various lines Of business, that de-
pend upon an agricultural community
for their existence.
Marion County. Florida, is the ban
ner county Of the state. It Is the
county which but few years ago in
competition at Tampa. Florida, with
every county in the state, took first
prize for agricultural and horticultural
products.

In an interview with Mr.. Sieg 70
Gently, he made the prediction that
every acre of Burbank. 0cala Colony
would be sold before farmers in the
north were enabled to start blowing.
This means that many thousands OF
acres must be sold each and every
week, and that hundreds OF settlers
are buying this land every day.
The office Of the BurbRnk.O oala Col
ony is located at the city Of ooala, in
Marion County, is filled with settlers
and prospective settlers to this col
ony, and the best part Of II ali 10 that
these settlers are satisfied. Many OF
them are sent to Burbank-O cala for
the purpose Of investigating and max.
ing sure, not only for themselves, but
for their friends, relatives and neigh.
bors, and most OF these men buy I'm.
mediately after seeing this land for
many people.
To give one some idea Of the value
of this property, and how firmly con.
WINGED the Company is that It will
stand any investigation. the Board Of
Directors of the New South Farm G.
Home Company have authorized Chas.
H. Sieg to sell this colony land upon
the strict guarantee that II It Is not
satisfactory to the purchaser, he may
ask for and receive back every cent
he has paid, together with so inter
est, any time before the actual deliv-
cry of the deed.
This land is selling at the price Of
$500 per acre. upon the terms OF
so cents per acre down. and so cents
per acre per month until the land Is

Settlers living in tents until thor homes are built
paid for, thus giving every purchaser
40 months after his application has
been received to complete his pay
ments, while he can move on and take
possession of his farm after single
payment OF only so cents per acre.
This is at the basis Of II cents per day
for each 10 acres purchased.
My advice to every man who really
wants to make an investment out Of
his daily savings, that will come back
to him in profits that are limited only
BY his own capabilities, is to write at
once for the great book called Ten
Acres and Freedom" and inform him
self thoroughly before he buys, and
prove to his own satisfaction that Bur.

to all Of the tremendous patronage
which It is receiving today.

PHYSICIANS OF
OMAHA DISAGREE
DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON cooh
ER's REMARKABLE SUCCESS
HELD BY MEDICAL MEN OF
NEBRASKA METROPOLIS.


Omaha, Neh. Feb. 16.-The aston
Ishing sale of UoOper's preparations in
this city has now reached such Inn
mense figures that the medical frater-
nifty at large have become forced into
open discussion of the man and his
preparations.
The physicians as q whole seem to
be divided with regard to the young
mans success in omaha-some be-
ing willing to credit him for what he
has accomplished, while others assert
that the interest he has aroused Is
but passing fad which cannot last,
and which will die out as quickly as
1t has sprung up.
The opinion of these two factions Is
very we'll voiced In the statements
made recently by two Of a number OF
physicians who were interviewed on
the subject.
DR.. ]. Z. Carass when questioned
about the matter said: Il have not
been a believer In proprietary prepa-
rations heretofore. nor can | say that
| believe in them at present. But l
must admit that some of the facts re-
Gently brought to my notice concern
ing this man Cooper have gone far
towards removing the prejudice had
formed against him when the I'M
heard.of demand for his preparations
first sprang up in this city. Numbers
of my patients whom have treated
for chronic liver, kidney and stomach
troubles have met me after taking
Cooper's remedy and have stated
positively that he has accomplished
wonderful results for them. / notice
particularly in cases of stomach trou-
BILE that the man has relieved several
cases of years standing that proved
very obstinate to treatment.
II am the last man on earth to
stand in the way of anything that may
prove for the public good simply
through professional prejudice, and
l am inclined to give Cooper and his
credit as deserving to
some extent the popular demonstra-
tion that has been accorded them in
this city"
Another we'll known physician who
was seen took the opposite view Of
the "Cooper-mania," as he called It,
which now has this city in its grip.
He said: Il can only liken the present
state of affairs to a certain kind Of
hallucination. For want Of a better
name, might call 1t 'Cooper-mania,
The people of Omaha seem to be
firm in the belief that this man Cooper
has health corked up in bottle.
Some of them imagine that he has
cured them of various ills,
Judging from their statements. It is
beyond me to say why the city has
gone crazy over the man. It may be
safely put down, think, to one of
the passing fads that so often attack
the American public.
Sooner or later the people are
bound to regain their senses and will
then realize that the reputable physi-
clan is the one to whom their health
had best be entrusted"
In the meantime Cooper meets sew
sral thousand people daily. and only
smiles when statements of the above
character are quoted to him.
