Get More Money.

Are you satisfied that your present position is equal to your ability, or do you think you are capable of something bigger? Many a man hangs on to small position when a lit- tie training of the right sort would show him just how to make the change to more money and brighter prospects. The first step toward getting better equipped and a better position is sto write for a catalogue of Draughon's Practical Business College, Little Rock or Fort Smith or Texarkana or Mem phis.

 The levee is to be rushed to an early completion as the money for same has been pledg- ed. The board of assessors found within the district creat- ed by special legislative act 28,- 533 acres subject to ordinary overflow and 1,54O acres sub- ject to extraordinary flood. Of this land, 6,641 acres is in culti- vation, upon which the board placed value of $50 per acre. The present valuation on all the land was placed at $552,032 and the betterment at S430,000, making a total of S982,032. The expense of the improvement will probably not be over one half of the betterment, but the board wisely gave. a broad margin that there might be no hitch in the reclamation from flood of all the rich bottom land embraced in the district.

FIRE AT DALZELL.
Stores of A. T.. Smith and II. l.. Bur-
kett Burned Late Friday Night.

Sometime after IL o'clock Friday
night the store of Mr. A. r. Smith
was discovered to be on fire and by
the time that persons arrived it was
one mass Of flames and the store next
TO his, that Of Mr.. r. L. Burkett, was
caught by the intense heat 1t was
impossible to save either of the
stores and almost all Of the goods
were burned in the stores.
The loss by the fire to Mr.. Smith
Will probably somewhat near $4,000
as there was very little insurance on
either the store or the goods Mr..
Burkett's loss will be about the same,
though possibly not quote as much.
One load of goods was saved from
Mr.. Burketts store amounting to
about 800, all of the rest Of the
goods being lost in the fire. Mr..
Smiths store was valued at about
5000 while it was insured for only
500, and his stock Of goods, while
valued at something over $4,000, had
insurance on it amounting to $500.
However, he lost all Of his books and
accounts in the fire except his Jour-
nal and ledger for 1911, which he
had luckily taken home with him
that night to work on some time be-
fore retiring.
When discovered the fire had
spread too far for any successful eff
forts to be made in fighting it and
it was impossible to fight it. as the
heat was so great that no one could
approach the building 1t is un-
known how the fire originated. but
it is supposed that it was Of incen-
diary origin. Mr.. Smith said that
there were no matches in the store
that he knew Of except some which
he kept for sale in his show case and
it was impossible for rats to get to
these. so it could not have been set
by them. No one had been in the
store for several hours prior to the
fire.
The loss falls very heavy on the
two young men as they have only
been in business at Dalzell for a few
years and had invested most of their
funds in their business.

Wonderful Hats.

On one occasion Lincoln was pre-
sented with two fine hats. each by a
different hatmaker, neither knowing
that the other had made such a con-
tribution. In the course Of events
they called upon the president, and 1t
so happened that both called ut the
same time. When both found them
selves In the presence Of the executive
they asked how he had liked the hats
they had sent him, and. taking advan-
tage of the opportunity Of securing a
statement Of superiority of one or the
other make, the president was asked
to state his preference To many men
such question would be very embar-
RAISING. but to Lincoln not at all. He
took the hat, one in each hand. and
then replied gravcly, but with a mis-
chievOuS twinkle in his keen eyes:
"Gcntlcmcn, your hats do mutually
surpasS each other"

MAKING Up an Actor.

In making up an amateur actor
should remember that as little paint as
possible should be used. for. while IT is
easy to disguise by thick mask Of
pigment, the heavier the makeup the
more difficult 1t Is to convey sensitive
emotional variations by the changing
expression of the face. If it is posi-
BILE to arrange ones own hair in way
suitable to the character so much the
better. for, though it may in no way
seem more real than q wig, 1t will
prove infinitely more comfortable
When the actor looks as much like the
part as he possibly can without the aid
OF artificial disguise he begins to apply
nose paste, paint and powder. obliter
ating one characteristic and accentuat-
ing another painting the eyebrows out
and redrawing them, changing the col
or Of the skin, putting shadows around
the eyes and sinister lines running
from the nostrils. He adds q roughly
shaped beard or mustache Of Grape
hair If the character demands it.

THREE CHILDREN BURNED.
A Pitiful Accident Near TindaIs Fri
day Night.

Three little negro children, John
Richard Butler, aged 6, Jessie But
Ter, aged years and Mary Wilder,
aged years were burend to Death,
about II o'clock Friday night ~ the
house Of Richard Butler, co!ored,
who lives near Tindal station, the
house and contents being destroyed.
An inquest was held Saturday morn
ing by Coroner Flowers and the jury
found that the children came to their
death from accident.
The facts brought out at the in
ben to Privateer on business and re-
turning home about IL o'clock found
that his wife had gone to a near
neighbor's house to supper, leaving
eight children in the house, the eld-
est being a we'll grown girl Of thir-
teen or fourteen years Richard stop
ped at home short time and then
went to the nejghbor's for his wife.
About the time he reached his desti-
nation he saw that his house was on
fire, and ran back as rapidly as he
could. But when he reached the
house 1t had fallen in and three Of
the children had been caught in the
ruins. There was no fire in the house
when he left it, but a lamp was left
burning in one room.
The eldest child testified that she
went to bed as soon as her father
left to go after her mother and went
to sleep. In a short time she was
aroused by the fire and made every
effort to get the children out, but
succeeded in saving only four Of them
before the roof fell in. She did not
know how the fire started. She left
no fire in the house when she went
to slep, except the lamp.
