 My Dear Mr Fancher:

And we th.nk the coming Confederate Reunion would give us an excellent chance to do so. 1 am writing this to you to ask if you will extend an invitation to your camp from US, to be our guests during the days of the Reunion. We would like to have as many of the Veterans as can to come and will provide tents and two meals a day for them. Our yard is large, and we can entertain the whole camp.
 Please present this to the John G. Fletcher camp at your convenience and let us know their decision. Hoping that we may have the pleasure of hay ing you and your comrades as guests.
 Most cordially yours,
 MARY FLETCHER.

Better Raise Hogs.

Commissioner Phillips estimates that there is not a hog per capita in the state of Arkansas, and urges that as one of the strong arguments in favor of crop diversification. In an interview on the subject, he says: ''If we diversity to any extent and in the most profitable way, we shall have several acres of peas, peanuts and other forage crops. These will yield the greatest profit if fed to live stock This means, of course, that we shall have to get more and better live stock on our farms. The recent census gives Arkansas a people while the same census shows that Arkansas had only 946, ,00O hogs, not hog around. Our supply of beef cattle has always been short. Arkan- sas is an agricultural state and yet we do not produce even the meat which our people use. Suppose that all agri- cultural districts should have the same shortage of supply? What would be the results? The densely peopled states especially containing large cities, must necessarily depend upon other states for at least a part of their supply. We cannot afford to buy meat with the proceeds of our cotton scales. We must produce our own meat. When we do this we shall be far more prosperous people. y
 We can raise hogs and keep cattle for sale and make more money than in any other way. We can raise hogs at a cost of from two to four cents per pound, and sell them for from eight to ten cents per pound. There is prac- tically no limit to the extent to which we can carry diversification in this state.

A MEASURE that would result in giv- ing the candidate for governor on the Republican ticket a place on the Arkan- sas Board of Election Commissioners has been introduced in the house by MT. Garrison of Searcy county. It got the first reading only, however, the house refused it to be read the second time. The bill provides that hereafter in all sittings of the State Election Board for the purpose of selecting county election commissioners for hold ing state elections, the nominee for governor of the minority political party polling the highest vote in the previous election shall sit as a member of such State Board, n place of the attorney general of the state. Under the present law the governor, secretary of state and attorney general constitute the State Election Board Under the pro- posed law, the Republicans of the state would have one of the three members, as that party casts the largest vote of any minority party in the state.

/ public and are asking this nation
and others for recognition that the
| proper international relations may
be created and maintained. Stimuli
taneously, it is appearing in Per-
sia where there is a new struggle
for the independence and progress.
1t has been at work in Turkey and
Portugal where the old order of
things has passed away and where
there is a struggle upward toward
the real liberty Of man.
We don't think enough about
the great things that have resulted
from the wisdom and heroism of
the fathers Of 1776. We are too
apt to belittle their work and want
to change it. Yet it is apparent to
any observing person that they
We're acting not for themselves

than a century and a half the gOs-
pei that they preached and prac-
ticed has spread far and wrought
great things for mankind, and it is
still at work. A thing so tried and

The time has not yet come when
we may cease to measure the utter

standard set up on these shores in
the last quarter Of the eighteenth
century. No better government
has anywhere been created, and
while other peoples are patterning

MILDRED REFS LIES WITH Bull
LET OVER HEART-"DIDN'T
KNOW 1T WAS LOADED

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 27.-Mildred
Refs, aged 6, daughter Of o. G.. Refs,
candy maker for the CLANCY Ever
hart Co., was accidentally shot. A o.
calibre long revolver bullet lodges
over her heart and it has not yet been
extracted.
The little girl, whose home is at GIG
Second street north, was playing at the
home Of Mabel Hedland, nearby. The
little Hedland girl was looking for a
lead pencil and in rummaging around
came across the revolver. She had no
idea it was loaded
she: pointed it at Mildred Refs and
the latter said, "Oh, don It! You IL
shoot me.'
At that the Hedland girl pulled the
trigger and the weapon was discharg-
ed, the bullet entering about an inch
above Mildred Reis' heart.
The little girl did not fall but walk
ed over to a sofa and lay down. A
physician was summoned but he dares
not probe for the bullet for fear Of
touching the heart.

MAN WHO SAYS HE HELPED TO
HOLD UP NORTHERN PACIFIC
TRAIN DON'T WANT ATTY.

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 27-John Young,
confessed train robber who was one Of
the trio that held up the North Coast
Limited just out of Fargo on the night
of July 10 last, appeared in the court
of Judge Roberts yesterday morning
and waived examination. He was
bound over to the district court and is
held in the custody of the sheriff under
a $4,000 bail, not being able to furnish
the amount.
The accused man was more talkative
than previously. Although not talking
freely, he was not backward about ask
ing some Of the points Of the law re-
garding his case.
He was rather surprised at the fact
that he was not charged with train
robbery. The complaint read to him
charged Young with robbery of $15 or
more from the person of Charles Wheel
er, and made no mention of train
hold-ups. He could not discover the
connection, and the court explained,
Wheeler was the conductor in charge
of the train that was robbed.
Young will have no attorney repre-
sent him. At least he says that one
thing he doesn t want is an attorney.
It will be within the jurisdiction of the
district court to appoint for him a
legal advisor, but until that time he
will not have a lawyer.
A well-flled court room was in evi.
dence when Young appeared and a
number Of people were attracted there
by the knowledge that his examination
was to take place.

Another school has been added to the
list in Devils Lake and will be known
as the Fourth Ward school, the build
ing owned by Mrs. Duffy having been
| secured for temporary school purposes
until new school can he erected.
The increase in attendance this year
has made it necessary to supply the
demand in the Russian settlement and
grade school will be started. Work
was commenced today installing desks
in the first grade room and it isexpect.
ed that second grade will be neces.
sary next week.
The need of an exclusive high school
building is becoming very evident, the
increase in attendance at the high
school filing the rooms now allotted
to capacity. With more being added in
attendance each day, more commodious
quarters will soon have to be selected
and there is some talk of the erection
Of high school building.
The increase in the school popula.
ton has greatly added to the congested
condition, making the new Fourth
ward school necessity. The Duffy
property has been rented for nine
months.
