A PLEASANT OCCASION.
Enoch Holt, Old Citizen OF Davidson
Township, Celebrates Birthday,

"Uncle Enoch" Holt, an old
settler in Davidson township,
celebrated his S7th birthday last
Sunday in a very pleasant man
ner in company with his child
rem, grandchildren, great'grand-
children and many friends ana
neighbors.
The crowd present at the old
eentleman's residence on this
occasion was varlously estimated
at from 700 to 1000 people and
we doubt very much il there was
q single person present who did
not thoroughly enjoy tho day,
AT II O'Clock n eumptuous din
ner was spread and, notwith'
standing the crowd was large,
there was plenty for everybody
and to spare.
Mr.. Holt first settled in David"
son township about sixty years
ago, and has resided at his pres'
ent home for more than half q
century, Despite his advanced
years, he appears hale and jov'
ial and there 10 no present lndi'
cation that he will not live TO sec
the return of many more birth
daya, His friends certainly
trust that he may and that they
will be able to be present and
participate in the pleasures thai
attend the event each year.

notice. The chairman Of this
commission is FL. L, Remmel,
next to Powell Clayton in power
in the republican party Of Ark
ansas.
The Record is not going to at
tempt to wave the "bloody Shirt"
we are(not much on that kind of
business. But we are frank to
say that we believe Gov. Dona-
ghey could have found a member
Of the democratic party who
would have rendered as good
service on the capitol commission
as Remmel. If he couldn't, his
action was certainly right and
proper. II. l.. Remmel has been
before the people Of this state on
different occasions as a candi-
date for public Office and every
time has been repudiated. The
people Of this state have made it
plain to Kennel that they do not
want him to conduct any part Of
their business at the state house.
Il, l.. Remmel has covered this
state different tines, abusing
and villifying democrats and the
democratic party in an effort TO
land himself in Office, The hands
Of II. l.. Kennel are now upon
the purse strings Of the state
capitol fund by the grace Of Gov.
G, W. Donaghey. Would you
have put them there?
Another man whom Gov. Dom
aghey appointed to a place on
the state capitol commission is
John l. Moore, commonly called
John Ike Moore, Of Phillips
county. IL 10 remembered that
the year in which the state Of
Arkansas was served by so many
different governors, through the
terrible misfortune which befell
Gov, Little, John Ike Moore wagI
acVlug governor Tor time. iS
was Acting Governor John Ike
Moore who vetoed the bill which
came from the legislature max.
ing an appropriation for agricul.
tural schools in this state, in the
face Of general and urgent de-
mand for the establishment Of
these schools, and who, when
censure and criticism began to
pour in upon him, said, in his
indignation, that the ebay
makers" didn't know what they
wanted, anyhow, John Ike
Moore is a capitol commissioner
by the grace Of Gov, Donaghey,
Would you have made him one?
There is one other thing we
want TO cay about Gov. Dona"
ghey, In his speech at Evening
Shade he did his level best to
leave the impression with his au-
dienco that Judge Kavanaugh"
Of Little Rock is his opponent
for governor. His best friend
who heard him here will not deny
that he most adroitly sought to
create this confusion Of names in
the minds Of his hearers, The
fact Is, several men loft the court
house believing that the "Jadge
Kavanaugh" whom the governor
referred to in his address and
c. G. Kavanaugh, bis opponent,
are one and the same man. Good
men tell US that at Center and
Ash Flat the governor sought to
leave the same impression,
This, then, no doubt helps TO
explain why the governor had
rather make the canvas alone
than with his opponent Gov,
Donaghey did not speak in Sharp
county in his first campaign, but
this helps to explain why he
would not meet Kirby and Hine.

som METHING DONAGHEY
HASN'T EXPLAINE

al CUtuCCllOt Will VIC Ouiulug
of the new state house.
1t is a we'll known fact that the
legislature had the attorney gen.
eral Of this state to investigate
the bond of Caldwell G. Drake,
the capitol contractors, in order
to determine whether or not that
bond was sound. The attorney
general complied with the re"
quest from the legislature and
reported to that body that the
bond of Caldwell & Drake was
legally drawn and good.
1t would seem that with this
information direct from the chief
law officer Of the state, the duty
OF the legislature was plain. 1t
would seem that, since their
bond was good, Caldwell & Drake
should have been forced to COM
plete the new state house, &C.
oording to specifications and at
the contract price.
The legislature was dominated
by Gov, George w. Donaghey,
who demanded that the state
house contract be taken away
from Caldwell &c Drake and the
completion of the building en-.
trusted to him and q board OF
commissioners Of HIS OWN
naming. The legislature did
what the governor wanted done.
Here, reader, this is the prop
osition pure and simple: lf you
agree with a carpenter that you
will give him certain sum Of
money to erect q residence for
you according to certain plans
and specifications and this car
penter gives you a bond legally
drawn and good for the perform.
ance Of his contract, you have
all the protection thrown around
the contract you need. II your
carpenter begins to do inferior
work or deviate from the plans
and specifications, you could
and would make him stick to his
contract or you would fall back
upon his bond.
The thing Gov. Donaghey
hasn't explained yet to the salts
faction Of a lot Of people is, why
was he 80 anxious TO get the
work Of putting up the state
house under his own control
and in his own hands? There's
a reason for everything.
If the contractors were not do
ing the work according to the
original plans, they could have
been made do so. Their bond
was good.
II the contractors had put in
defective work, they could been
been made tear 1t out. Their
bond was good.
II makes no difference what
Kind Of men Caldwell & Drake
are; whether thieves, thugs,
|liars, boodlers or gentlemen,
the fact remains; Their bond
|was good.
1t is a we'll remembered fact
|that in his first campaign Gov.
|Donaghey denounced tho $780,.
poo capitol appropriation bill in
|the Legislature Of 1905 as rank
bteal. His campaign literature
@as full Of 1t, Yet, when the
Btato house construction was
Burned over to HIM by tho legis'
'lature Of 1909, he approved the

YOUNG LADY PREACHER
Elopes With Trigg County
Youth.

Miss Susie Hawkins. young fe-
male evangelist Of Louisville, has for
some time been holding meetings in
Trigg county, at Kings Chapel,
CeruIean Springs and other places.
The first of this week a meeting was
being carried on at Cerulean which
was largely attended. Wednesday
night the young lady eloped with
Garrett Hammonds, young farmer
of near Montgomery. They went to
GAINESVILLE and were married be a
justice of the peace and returned to
Trigg county Thursday morning.
The bride is only Is years of age
and her meetings have excited a
lively interest. Mr.. Hammonds has
been a constant attendant and has
held many earnest conferences with
the pretty preacher. The meeting
in which she was engaged has come
to an abrupt end.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hammonds will re-
side at Montg omery, and the bride
will retire for the present from the

Tabernacle Will Present the
Usual Course This Season
Under a New Plan.
SOLICITS PATRONAGE.
Profits of Same Will Go to
Keeping Building In
Repair.

The Board of Tabernacle Associa-
tion has decided to put on Lyceum
course this season, the proceeds to
be used to repair the building. Sea-
son tickets will be sold for 81 for
adults and 81 for children. The
following is the address to the pub
lie:
Fully realizing the many advan-
tages and moral uplift of the COM
munity incident to the maintenance
of high class Lyceum Course, and
recognizing the desirability of con-
tinuing same, hereby take this
means of respectfully soliciting the
assistance and CO. cooperation of every
good citizen of this city and county
to render such substantial interest
as to enable US to continue and i'm
prove the excellent series of enter
tainments that have been furnished
heretofore.
On account of tie many duties
and time required, and the small re-
Enumeration therefor, we have been
unable to secure any one to take up
this work. The Tabernacle, belong
ing to and being controlled by the
churches which we represent. we
naturally have locked to them for
help. The Ladies Societies of the
several churches have generously
offered their services to affect the
sale Of the necessary tickets, and we
feel assured that they will meet with
a cordial and liberal reception in
their undertaking.
The Tabernacle is out of debt and
it is our intention to keep it that
way. The building is in need of re-
pairs to the extent of $4,000 at this
time.
Thanking you in advance for your
liberal support of so worthy an in
stitution, we are.
