GROWING ORGANIZATION
Modern Woodmen Now Strongest
 Insurance Order in World

Twenty seven years ago last January the society of Modern Woodmen of America was organ ized, and in little more than a quarter of a century 1t has grown until it bears the distinction of be- ing the largest fraternal-b -benefci- ary society in the world. It had, on the 1st of March, 1910, a total membership of 1,116, 535 who car " nearly two billion dollars in- surance.
 Since its organization it has paid to the widows and orphans of de- ceased members, SS6, 410,5 This amount, if paid in silver dollars and piled one on top of the other, would make a stack over l2S miles high.
 The Modern Woodmen now pays to the widows and orphans of deceased members more than S720,000 a month. This means about S24, ,000 a day, or S1 ,O00 an hour, or in other words, 1t means that for every four ticks of your watch, cay and night, the Modern Woodmen drops d dollar into the hand of some widow or orphan of some member whom the black camel of death has called to the other shore.
 This article appears only to show our readers the power of cooperation when applied in the right form. And that the Nj. w. A. has this plan is evidenced by their marvellous growth since the society was organized.
 Less than two years ago this or der entered Arkansas, and in this brief time has membership of nearly 5000 in the state, which shows that our people know a good thing when it comes along. As our people become better acquaint- ed with the benefits of this great order many more of them will be- come identified with it.
 Any member of the local camp will gladly give you any informa- tion you may desire regarding rates and benefits.

4 PERSONAL STATEMENT
Jndge Pearce Calls Attention to
 Some Recent Shady Politics

To the People of Independence County:-
 In the recent campaign one of my opponents for county judge, through his paid reputation vand- als, certain liquor influences, and my political enemies, in order to encompass my defeat, hatched up and threw out before the people just on the election eve q multi % tude of falsehoods, unfair reports and congregations concerning my official conduct, all of whic h was planned so as to come forth at a time entirely too late for me to exonerate myself in the minds of the people before election day.
 They had quite a lot to say about what the approaching grand jury would do and say. That jury has just filed its report and adjourned, and want to call your special attention to said report. The jury was composed of sixteen of the representative and we'll known citi- zens of the county, good ma iority of whom voted for the suc- cessful aspirant for county judge, but in doing their official work they threw aside politics and made a thorough investigation of what was alleged against me in the cam paigo, hence am sure you will read with interest what they say in their report which is printed elsewhere in this paper.
 1 call your special attention to this report, not for any political gain or reward, or with the inten- tion of doing any one an injury, but because the injury done me by such an unfair and slanderous methods was not only a political injury, but personal and individ- ual injury also, and l believe it is my duty to myself and my friends to ultimately  see that l am vindicated in the minds of the people on every false charge made against me; therefore 1 consider 1t a personal privilege to show the people from time to time wherein they were actually deceived aud misled in matters af- fecting my integrity and official conduct. Yours truly,
 CUL. l.. PEARCE.

SUNDAY AT PAR0QUET
A Day Pleasantly Spent Among
 Clever and Sociable People

Mir. Editor According to promise made some time ago, spent Sunday with Pastor D. l. Holt and his congregation at Par oquet They were engaged in fine song service when 1 arrived, large congregation being present.
 1 preached to an attentive con- gregation for about thirty minL utes, after which we repared to the grove, where the good ladies spread bountiful dinner. I need not try to enumerate, but suffice 1t to say the dinner would have tempted the appetite of President Taft. There was plenty for all, and to spare, 1 do not know how many basketsfull were gathered up after the crowd had satisfied the natural man.
 After dinner we reassembled and enjoyed some more fine sing ing. The Macedonia class was present and participated in the singing.
 preached again at night to very good congregation and assist ed Bro. Holt to ordain three dea- cons.
 This church was organized only a few months ago with a very small membership, but 1t is grow ing rapidly. They are in love with their efficient pastor, and are a kind and appreciative people. This was my first visit to them, al- though l have passed through the community several times. They remembered me in substantial manner. hope circumstances will be such that l can visit them again, as this was one of the most pleasant trips l have had in some time, and 1 will say if you want to spend a pleasant day, go to Paro- quet any third Sunday.
