all the work offered in the school.
1t Is recommended for next year
that any person. no matter what age,
be admitted to- special classes next

For example, lady who wishes to

do so provided a sufficient number of
persons apply for work to justify the

Graduates OF the school who ex-

The Superintendent and Principal
/ of the school will aid them to do this.
but no pupil is required to take the
subjects leading to college entrance
unless he desires to do so.

J. A. NELSON

The name of J. A. Nelson, of Albany township appears in to. days paper as candidate for representative from Nevada county subject to the action of the March primary.
 Mir. Nelson is a staunch citizen of the county, and a man of much merit and worth, and will make an able representative in the 10 Ter house of the legislature. Having made success in life, and being of a most practical turn of mind, he will epresent the people in a manner to do them justice and himself much credit.
 He is one of the best men yet offered for the position, and no mistake will be made if he is chosen the standard bearer of the party at the coming primary.
The Prescott daily news., 1910-01-31

He is a loyal democrat and comes from a township that has never failed to bring up a big majority for the party. In the days of the populist rule, old Albany never wavered at any time, and Mir. Nelson was among the foremost men in the ranks when election day rolled around. Don't fail to give him due con sideration when you go to vote.

BUSINESS ACTIVITY
 AND IMPROVEMENTS

The Prescott & Northwestern Railroad Company's line is the scene of much business activity and improvements all along the road. iBeginning with mill town Where new saw mill is being erected, and new machinery is being placed therein, clear on to Norvelle, there is much evidences of material prosperity. The road itself is being given a bal last of gravel from the Tokio pit, and when this work is finished the P. & N. w. will be one of the best roads in Arkansas. At Xiii gore, the Kilgore Hardwood Lumber Company have every thing ready to begin operations next week, and have on the yard plentiful supply of logs to run the mill for some time.
 w. B. Mcdonald has opened a new store at Deenyville, Drab postoffice, and enjoys good trade.
 At Highland party of Geor- gia people are erecting man. moth store building, and will put in complete stock of goods there within the next thirty days. The store is near the big peach orchard, and will sup ply a necessary want in that c immunity.
 At Tokio there is possibly the greatest improvement on the road. J. M. Holt & Co.,, is a new firm recently opened up there for business, and new store houses are beng built for Ike Stewart an d. the Huddle stons. Within the year TokiC promises to be the most impor- tant point on the line.
 Norvelle has recently increas- ed it's stores to two instead of one, and supplies a trade terri tory of considerable moment,
 The report current that the Iron Mountain is to take charge of the P. & N w. Road, is a mistake, as no trade, or nego- tiations leading 70 a trade has been made. Q

ENOCH HALE

The name of Enoch Hale is an nounced today as a candidate for Road Overseer of Missouri town ship, subject to the action of the coming primary.
 MT. Hale has been a citizen of this vicinity for over thirty years and has a strong following of friends who will give him a rous. Ing endorsement at the polls. He
The Prescott daily news., 1910-01-31

is practical in his ideas, and knows the best methods to bring about the desired results in the matter of road making, one of most important matters con fronting our people today. He is fully qualified for the position, and you should not fail to give him your earnest consideration at the polls in March.

Theatricals Change to NuptiaIs

Editor A. H. Evans, of the Gurdon Times, has the follow ing to say of the play given in that town by the pupils oi the High School pupils of Prescott, and the attending romances:
 Last Friday evening a crowd of Prescott high school pupils came to Gurdon ostensibly to give play they had rendered in their own city the night prey ious. This crowd had not more than landed in town until scouts were sent in every direction for Rev. Turrentine and after long chase, he was found at his board. ing house and he was prevailed upon to go to his church and marry Mr. Wood Hilliard and Miss Beryl Bryan. The groom is the son of the popular presid: 1 ing elder sof the Prescott dis trict, Rev. w. C. Hilliard. The bride is one of Prescott's pret. tiest young ladies The congrat- ulations were numerous and sin cere from both friends and strangers who met the happy couple.
 The play was given at the op- era house on schhdule time but the D revious show seemed to have been of more importance than the drama, although those present were well pleased with it's rendition.
 Next morning, Ernest Stain.
