Admirers of Dead Millionaire Want
Monument at Camp Bird.

Denver, April 12.-Plans to have
the face and figure of the late Thomas
F. Walsh. the Colorado "silver king, .
carved in heroic size on the face of
an immense cliff which overlooks the
famous Camp Bird mine at Ouray,
were preached by admirers of Mr..
Walsh yesterday and may result in
what would probably be the most
unique monument record. The
Camp Bird mine laid the foundation
of Walsh's fortune. and it is pointed
out that no more appropriate place
could be selected for a monument
than the one which nature has already
devised.

Darn that Billy Goat

f. Dalton has been having it with
his goats again. This time he was
trying to do the humane act by
taking small kid to shelter when
an old billy entered objections to
the proceedings, forcing Lige to seek
safety in flight. He scaled the
walls of an old out house and secm-
ed a scantling with which he drove
the goat away, after which he secur-
ed saw and now Mr.. Billy Goat
is minus his long horns. We are
not saying word about the con-
versation that took place between
Lige and the goat while the latter
was chasing him.

Our County Directory

About the middle Of next month
the Star Herald will begin work on
the county directory, which was
started by us last fall. We have
the matter all about completed.
with the exception of one township.
This will be the biggest job of
printing ever undertaken by any
office in North Arkansas. The
book will be about ten by fourteen
inches and will contain about 25O
pages. 1t will contain the name of
every man, woman and child in the
county, together with their postoffice
address and the township in which
they reside. Also the number of
horses, cattle, hogs, etc., number
of acres of land owned by each man,
number in cultivation, character Of
land, etc. We believe this book
will be worth thousands of dollars
to the people of the county and we
are anxious to get it out just as soon
as possible. We secured the data
for this work last fall at a great
cost and it was our intention to
have work completed by the first of
April, but owing to the heavy rush
of work and other binderances dur
ing the month of January we were
unable to get to it. We hope to
have the book out by the first Of
May.

Leg Broken

Joe Ham of Middlebrook happen
ed to the misfortune of getting his
right leg broken Tuesday morning
while coming to Pocahontas after a
load of lumber for his new home.
He in company with John Rapert,
Terrell Parker and Tom Johnson,
who were also coming after lumber,
were driving along the road near
the McNeese place two miles above
town when they all turned out of
the road to allow some hay wagons
to pass, Mr.. Ham was seated on
the running gear of his wagon with
his feet hanging down when in some
manner his foot was caught between
a stump and the brake beam, break
ing his right leg just above the an
kle. His companions brought him
to the home of his brother law,
Ben A. Brown, and Drs. Hamil and
Hughes were called who set the
broken limb and otherwise made the
patient as comfortable as possible
He is getting along splendidly, but
will not be able to return home for
some time. This is a very severe
misfortune to Mr.. Ham as it has
been only few days since he lost
his home by fire and it was while
he was hauling lumber with which
to rebuild that he sustained this
accident.

Varddman Loses in Mississippi

jackson, Miss, Feb. 29-Leroy
Percy of Greenville, Miss was
nominated for United States sena-
tor in the joint caucus tonight on
the forty-eighth ballot, amid scenes
never to be forgotten.
Percy received 81 votes, to 50
for Vardaman, they being the only
contestants in the final ballot.
When the caucus met, Byrd, Kyle
and Street withdrew from the con-
test, thus eliminating every con-
servative except Percy, who had
been the leading candidate of the
anti-Var ardaman contingent from the
beginning Of the contest.
1t had been rumored for days
that this would be done, and when
the caucus adjourned last Friday 1t
was pretty well understood that
final elimination would take place
tonight and that a nomination
would be made. This report seemed
to be we'll founded and had gained
such general circulation throughout
the city and state that about the
largest crowd that has attended
caucus sessions was on hand. As
the balloting proceeded the excite
ment was intense and hardly per
son dared breathe. Vardaman had
his large quota of friends pres
ent, and Percy had his and their
following on hand. When the
result of the ballot was announced
pandemonium broke loose and
scenes of widest and most turbu'
lert Joy were enacted. In sharl
contrast with this was the woe oi
the defeated candidates friends
which was not concealed, for they
were as confident that ardamar
would be nominated as man eyel
was of any event.
This long drawn out fight wa,
for the election of a state senator
to fill the unexpired term of Sen
ator McLaurin, who died some time
ago. At the beginning of this
contest ffty-eight days ago there
were six or eight candidates for
the position, among them being
j. X. Vardaman, well known ir
Mississippi politics. Vardamar
led the ballots all the way through,
several times coming within four ol
five votes of being elected His
friends stayed with him to the very
last, the cause of his defeat being
the withdrawal of all the other can
didates in combination favoring
Percy.

Loss by fire

J. J. Lewis suffered the loss by
fire of a nice farm house near Pit
man Tuesday night. The house was
on what is known as the Cunningham
place, which was bought by Mr..
Lewis some time ago. 1t is not
known how the fire originated, but
it is thought to have been caused
by some persons camping there, as
the house had been unoccupied for
some time. Mr.. Lewis had just
sent some prospective purchasers up
to look at the property and when
they arrived on the scene they found
the land, but no house.

HAND RESTS HEAVILY
ON BLACK FAMILY
lust Year to a Day in Which
Three Members OF Family Pass
AWAY

Died, at his home in Pocahontas,
Saturday, Feb. 10th, Marvin Black,
aged 80 years, 6 months and 26
days.
Mr.. Black, or "Bunk" as he was
familiarly called by his acquaint-
ances, was stricken with pneumonia
Sunday week ago and although
his illness was not considered as
being serious at first, he gradually
grew worse until the end came Sat
urday night about IL o'clock.
This makes the third death in
this immediate family in the last
twelve months. One year ago,
Friday, Waldo, brother of the de-
ceased died and three weeks ago
his father, Uncle Rufe, was called
home.
Bunk had spent most of his life
in Pocahontas and was well and
favorably known all over the coun-
ty. We doubt if there is a man
living in the county today who has
more true and loyal friends than
Bunk had. His disposition and at
titude toward his acquaintance was
such as to command the respect and
esteem among all with whom he as
sociated.
lie was a charter member OF
Pocahontas Lodge No. 90, Knights
of Pythias and was one Of its most
loyal members. In this order he
carried insurance to the amount Of
$4,000.
Mr.. Black leaves "a wife, two
sisters, Mrs. L. ii. Miller, now llv'
ing at Paragould and Mrs. j. w
Shannon and one brother, Ed, OF
this city. These are now the only
survivors of this once large family
Funeral services were conducted
at the home, by Rev. M. d. Bow
ers in the presence of large con-
course of sorrowing relatives anc
friends after which the remains
were taken charge of by the Knights
of Pythias and laid to rest in the
Masonic cemetery according to the
rites and customs of that order.

For Earle Hodges
Feb. %, 1910

feD. ~, l9lO.
Editor Star-Herald: =.
Knowing that you are taking a
friendly interest in Earle Hodges
race for secretary of state, not only
you, but doubtless every voter In
this county who knows Earle will
cheerfully vote for him, but there
are probably number of voters in
the county who do not know him.
Now what | would like and what all
Earle's friends would like, would
be to see him receive every vote
cast in this county at the coming
primary. His opponent may be en-
tirely worthy, but he never "broke
bread" with us, and he did not
marry one of our girls, and we know
that however worthy he may be, be
is no more so than our own Earle.
SO let us all get busy and break the
states record, by giving Earle every
vote in the county. This can be
done, if his friends will see that
there is some one at every voting
place to explain the case to those
who don't know Earle, and who
would therefore be just as apt to
vote for one as the other. ! feel
sure of Earle's carrying the county
by an overwhelming majority,
without this effort, and he will
doubtless be elected, but if we will
give him the unanimous vote of the
county, it will not only be fitting
compliment to a worthy man, but
I'VE will all feel worthy pride in
our citizenship. JUST A FRIEND.
