 The big day.

The Lord is not going to waste any time helping those who do not. help themselves. The man who opens up his store every morning. sweeps out and expects a houseful of customers all day without using his brain power in preparing inviting bargains or attractions is in the same class with the men who plant crop and expect it to flourish without the aid of a hoe or blow. The Lord believes in the principle of a square deal, and has unlimited credit for the fellow who helps himself to the fullest extent of his ability, but nothing for the fellow who whittles on goods. boxes or kills time on the creeks while the customers g. by his door and the crops up Tn weeds and grass. The Almighty ex- poets every man to tote his end of the log.
 Circuit court convenes next Monday morning. There Is quite a good docket this term.

ANXIOUS FOR DEATH
 IS OSCAR PuLLEM

Ashdown. Ark, July 13. -Os- car Pullem, who confessed to murdering Lafayette Deloney, a Little River county farmer, is repentant and has expressed himself as being anxious to die. He has retained no lawyer and would like to go before the court, acknowledge his crime and take the extreme penalty of the law. The laws of Arkansas will not help him out in this de- sire, however. He will not be permitted to plead guilty of mur- der in the first degree, Should the court see fit to be lenlent and give him life sentence his confession could be received. Pullem's father secured the ser vices of a lawyer, but when the young man stated that he want ed to confess his crime and be hanged the lawyer said his ser vices were not needed. The court will likely appoint an at torney when the case is called.
 The wife of Deloney is to be tried first. This is for the pur- pose of having Pullem testify. The case was set for today but if could not be reached. The trial of the woman will be begun at 8 o'clock in the morning.
