The Reason Why.

1 do not buy an autoCar
Because I cannot stand the jar,
The shaking and the jolts that come
The minute that you make il hum,
The wind that whistles as 1t flies
And fills with particles my eyes.
I do not think the sport is nice.
Besides, l haven't got the price.
What profits it to ride about
And almost get your eyes put out,
To scare the simple people who
Have never done a thing to you,
To mutilate your neighbor's stock
And kill a dog in every block?
] wouldn't own one. AS / say,
/ can't afford it anyway.
No; let them keep their dizzy cart,
The loss I will not take to heart
or course should prices get within
Half hailing distance of my tin
might be tempted-who can teII?-
My COW and building stock to sell
And put a mortgage on my land.
To own one must be simply grand!

This Bohemia of yours is just risky
kind of game YOU play at.
Yes. it is risky. You are apt to lose
a good deal more than you get. YOu
take more things in than YOU can ever
bring out, even if YOU carry away all
the trash you have assembled to create
an artistic" effect.
You smoke. II is part OF this Bo-
hemia of yours. There is the smell OF
smoke in your hair; and your fingers
are stained from the cigarettes DO you
know what you took into Bohemia and
cannot bring out? How shall | put It
into words? That grace beyond the
reach Of art was yours. But II died
there in your Bohemia. And the smoke

your Bohemia demands that! 1t is be-
cause mans a man that he likes a
woman TO be a woman. Nature fixed it
like that. Why cannot you girls see
it? And you cannot change an elemental
craving any more than you can change
any other elemental thing.
So here is my big warning: Beware
lest. in your Bohemian foolishness, you
lose the sweet signs of your femininity
so that the man who wants a sweet
heart and a wife will be repelIed by
your cigarettes and your good fellow

Cone to the lat d where every thing
grows,
From the stately old piue to the long

We have plenty to eat and plenty to
wear,
And when you have starved out, we
have plenty to spare
We have come from the North, the
East and West
Down to Arkansas, home of the best,
We have come with smile and may
be tear,
In our old covered wagon, and COW in
the rear,
But our friends in the North who
laughed in our face,
Now eagerly wait for the first vacant
place.
No longer they scoff at the grand old
State,
But simply run down on the first re-
duced rate.
We have all we want right here at our
door,
than gold ore.
Rock from our quarries, the best Of
its kind,
And building material 50 cheap you
can't find,
Our schools and our churches are do
ing their best
To come to the front and be up with
the rest.
Good colleges now spring up in all

To educate here our sons and daugh-
Did you see the award we won at the

When all of our states had a chance to
compare?
The grain and the fruit we had to dis

That was seen by the thousands that

And couldn't be moved under any con-

each night
Where sleep is comfort and rest a
delight,
Our health giving springs are known
far Ger the tide,
No scorching hot winds have we here
to destroy
No billiards. cold breath ever comes
to annoy.
50 come along, brother, and make a
new start,
We are ready to hetp you, if you'll do
your part
Our friends are all coming from every
direction,
Anxious to find us and claim some
connection.
Much more should be said in behalf of

But watch the excursions and on the

Just take a trip down; like the good

You'll declare to your people the hait's

Resolutions of Respect.

We as committee appointed, do
hereby offer resolutions of rec t and
love to the memcry of Mrs. Lou An
drews, the dearly beloved President of
the Ladies Aid Society of the Cum
berand Presbyterian Church at Har-
rison. Arkansas.
Whereas, it has pleased our Father.
God, to call to him our dear sister and
friend. Mrs. Lou Andrews, and she in
going has left Us an example of Chris
tau zeal and faith, which leads to
great plishtnents
Therefore, be it resolved that in the
death of Mrs. Andrews this organiza-
tion has lost an earnest worker, a
faithful friend and wise counsellor;
that we have lost one who was ever
diligent in every good thing.
Be it further resolved, that we COM
mend the life of our sister aud friend
as an example to be followed by those
who wish to be blessing to home
and community; that to the husband ,
children and grandchildren, who are
now in great sorrow, our sympathies
go out in prayer to the Father to COM
fort them in his own wise, loving and
merciful way.
Resolved, that copy of these reso.
lutions be sent to our church papers,

Public Schools, is here ready to take
up the work if it can be so arranged.
Let us foster this opportunity for a
long stride upward in school work.

be given in the near future, the pro.
ceeds to be applied on the debt
