Go To the Polls

Let every democrat do his duty
next Tuesday by going to the polls
and casting his vote in the congres.
sional election. The democratic
nominee is in no danger of defeat
but our representation in the Ma
tional congress is dependent upon
the number of votes cast, and all
Democrats owe it to the party to
cast their votes. There has been
talk in recent years of reducing the
representation in most Of the
Southern states, and if this is ever
done it will he due to the apathy Of
democratic voters W h o remain
away from the polls because they
know that the nominee will be

With Exhibits at the Land CoH-
areSS to be Held In Chicago
this Month

s. G. Dowell one of the prom
inent real estate men of Lawrence
county was . business visitor in Po-
cahontas last Monday.
During a conversation with rep
resentative of the Star Herald, Mr..
Dowell said that Lawrence county
had at great expense purchased q
booth at the land and irrigation ex-
position to be held at Chicago the
latter part of this month and while
they had a number of exhibits to
place on exhibition, they did moi
have enough to fill their space and
that if this county wanted too the
Lawrence county delegation would
take our exhibits to Chicago anG
place them in their booth, giving
us the proper advertisement for same
and if this county so desired We
could stand part of the expense o.
same.
We find Mr.. Dowell to be pub
lie spirited gentleman and his aim il
to advertise this section of the state
Owing to the fact that several Of
the gentlemen who are interested il
this matter being ont of town Mon
day nothing definite was done bu
we believe that the matter will bt
given full consideration in til,
course of few days and that Ran
dolph county will yet be represented
with exhibits at Chicago.
Our citizens should get togethe
and make arrangements to send ou
exhibits to Chicago, with some ad
vertising matter which would, be
yond doubt, t,prove very pro6tabl
investment for the county at large

Secret

One of the last officials acts OF
County Clerk Armstrong was the
placing of record of five marriage
licenses issued during the month of
October and by bis last official act
the fact comes to light that two
prominent couple. of Pocahontas
have had themselves joined together
in the holy bonds of matrimony,
the contracting parties being Harry
Spiece and Miss Mae Martin and
Marvin Buckley and Miss Maye
Allphin. The marriage license
was issued on the 9th of October
and the ceremony took place on the
night of the 10th, Rev. w. +.
Tuten performing the ceremony.
After the ceremony the two couples
repaired to the opera house where
they witnessed the production of
"Big jim" 1t was their intention
to keep the matter a secret but
owing to the fact that Clerk Arm.
strong retired from office on last
Monday night he was compelled to
record the issuance of the licenses
and Of course the Star Herrld man
had to inspect his record and thus
the publicity. The Star Herald
joins in with the two happy couples
many friends in extending con
gratulations and wishing them
happy and prosperous voyage over
the matrimonial sea of welded life.
