DOING SPLENDID WORK

The parents and Teachers CO.
operative association closed their
year with a very pleasant picnic
social at the gramar school yester-
day afternoon. The carly part of
the afternoon was spent setting
pansy plants among the tulips
planted last fall and now coming
into bloom.
Two hundred pansy plants were
set and its is hoped that by the
time the tulips fade they will
bloom, thus malirg the little
court a place Of beauty during the
entire summer.
Refreshments were served
picnic style-in the assembly and
teachers rooms and as no member
knew what the hand Of her neigh
Dor had cooked the repast was toll
of delightful surprises.
The association now numbers 40
members and during the past year
worked in three divisions. namely:
home and school, social and civic
Improvement. all with the general
object of bringing about closer,
hence more harmonious relations,
between the homes and schools
and undertaking any civic work
within its power which seemed
necessary.
During the yea j Ist closed the
home and school and social
divisions have carried out an
1tarlitilg mi nelpfIl course in
child study. made a beginning to-
ward beautfying the .hool
grounds, given number of
pleasant social afternoons at the
school, a Washington's birthday
dance and have entertained the
children Of the grades in a series
of parties.
The civic improvement division
circulated the petition which
called the attention of the Com
misioners to the desire of the
people Of Elko for a curfew
ordinance which was passed and
has been in in force since April
18th.
The new officers of the associa-
ton are looking forward with
enthusiasm to next years work and
aready plans are taking definite
form for more helpful association
with the schools and along the line
Of civic improvement.
The attention of the latter
di vision has been called to the
need of public library and free
reading room in Elko. to the
unfenced and neglected condition
Of the pauper's cemetery, etc, and
doubtless its members will turn
their energy in these directions.

ONE MORE BATTLE

An interesting account of the
dramatic scene at General Lees
headquarters the night before the
surrender. when the Confederate
commander was still determined to
strike one more blow for the
cause for which he was fighting,
is given by Major A. R. H. Ransom
in Harper's Magazine. Major
Ransom writes:
when l arrived at head
quarters General Lee was in tent,
81 ttinR with General Longstrert on
some bundles of rye straw. the
ground being wet from the rain,
at the upper side of the tent,
with one candle for d light ! made
my report, and the general told me
to wait. as he wished to see me.
He asked me il l had had anything
to eat. and ! told him no. He said
he was sorry he had nothing to
offer me. He gave me a bundle
Of straw and told me to sit near
the door.
ut had been raining all after
noon and was quite wet. was
also very tired, so ! put my foot
through the bride rein of my
mare standing outside and. lying
down on the bundle Of straw, was
soon asleep. .
Il was awakened by voices and,
looking up, saw the colonel had
left In charge of the troops at the
bridge standing in the tent. He
reported that the rations had not
arrived. and the starving and
discouraged troops had all deserted
in the darkness, leaving their arms
In the trenches.
General Lee heard him to the
end Of his account. and then with
a wave of his hand dismissed him.
Turning to General Lon9street, he
said: This is very bad. That
man 10 whipped. 1t Is the first
time have seen one of my officers
who had been whipped. 1t is very
bad
THE conversation between the
generals WAS then resumed in low
tones, and again fell asleep.

time when ! was awakened by
General Lees voice. speaking in
loud tones, louder than | had ever
heard from him. He was saying,
General Longstreet, I will strike
that man blow in the morning.
Genera! Lee sometime spoke Of
General Grant as that man and
of the Federal army as those
people.
General Longstreet replied in
low tones. giving the strength and
condition Of his ,mmand and the
strength and position of the enemy,
and conclued by saying, But you
have only to give me the order and
the attack will be made in the
morning"

resumed in low tones. and | fell

Tough luck for Aloysius.

Norman Elberfeld and George Nc
Bride are mentioned most cunspicuously
as possible managers of the Nationals
In case Jimmy McAleer becomes presi-
dent of the club and forsakes the active
labor Of conducting the team. Elber-
field Is experienced, learned in baseball
lore, and possesses considerable magne-
tism, generally callee pep" He has
had a little experience as manager in
New York, though handicapped greatly
by lack of money and power, and
might develop into a brainy leader. Nc
Bride never has had any experience as
manager. but as a player he Is known
as one Of the brainiest in the major
leagues. His personality Is pleasing.
and his influence only for the best
among the players. 1 happen to know
that Norman Elberfeld is a great favor
ite Of McAleer's. but am not sure that
the little veteran would care to lead a
major league team. Mcbride has never
dreamed Of leading a team.

Here's hoping We grab the last.

Horatius Antoninus Fogel is at 1t
again. Turned down by Tom Lynch on
his protest Of Nal Eason and Bob
Johnstone, the Phillies' boss launches
forth into TRADE against all concerned,
finally winding up with a quarrel with
Charlie Doom. his broken-legged man.
ager From this distance, It would ap-
pear that Sherwood Nottingham Magee
may have expected to be decorated with
a gold medal for his bravery and daring
in knocking Umpire Finneran down and
perhaps given a letter Of thanks from
his boss. Tom Lynch has no easy road
to travel, that's certain, when his mag
mates pull him this way and push him
that. Philly must be an interesting
place sometimes.

Oh you Horace.

Major league managerial ber:hs seem

Bobby Wallace is booked for a turn

Patsy Donovan seems doomed to be re-
placed in Boston. Hal Chase has start
ed the Gotham grumblers. \Clark Grif-
fith's enemies are gaining in numbers
each afternoon. McAleer may forsake
the Nationals to become a magnate
Bill Dahlen consoles himself with the
promise Of ''one more season. anyway"
Hughey Duffy Is said to be destined TO
give way to Harry Lord or Jimmy Cal
lahan. The winter meeting of the Amer
ican League should be interesting and
prolific of considerable news.

JACOWAY PREDICTS
 PARTY VICTORY
Congressman Says If Taft Is RenOminated Democrats
 Will Win.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 26.-Hon. H. M. Jacoway, of Dardanelle, member of congress from this the Fifth district, was in Little Rock yesterday. Discussing National affairs, he says that the future of the Democratic party depends upon what they do in the next session of con- gress. With the majority in their control, the party should accomplish something even against the opposition of the Republicans in the senate. If the Democratic Congress does the right thing, and the Repub- licans dominate Taft again, we can carry the next election" declared MT. Jacoway confident l ly.
 He said that in pursuance of the plan of tariff revision that has been agreed upon, that of a gradual revision, by piece-meal, instead of a complete rewriting of the tariff law, the steel and sugar schedules will be taken up at the regular session, and fur nish much material for contro- versy.
 The Democrats stand pledged to a strong reduction. The Congressional Committee ap- pointed on the Sugar Trust in vestigation, of which MT. Jaco- way is a member, has practi- cally completed it's work, and will be ready to submit their re- port in December.

Made a Good Record.

Eugene Smith, a motorist of Paragould who spent a month on an overland trip from his home to Chicago and return, ad- vertising Greene county and it's resources wherever he went, on his going trip of 576 miles, he actually travelled only AS hours, consumed 52 gallons of gasoinl and 3 gallons of oil or an aver age of II 1-6 miles per gallon of gasoline.
 The total distance covered on the return trip was TAI miles total gasoline used ri galIa-,s: oil used 4 gallons; average of 10 1-2 miles for each gallon of gasoline. On the road 16 days not travelling 6 days on account of mud.
 < On the way to Chicago Mir. Smith advertised this section of Arkansas in 49 different news papers and in 51 on the return trip.
 His total repair bill was 50 cents for a broken truss rod and $44 for one new tire. Before he returned home the mail forwarded to him contain ed numerous letters from pros pective settlers making inquir- ies about Greene county land and since he has returned his mail has been flooded with re- quests for more information about Greene county. A num- ber of those interested have wis., tied Paragould during the past week and will more than likely make investments there.
