DOUBLE WEDDING
A SECRET AFFAIR

Pocahontas people were surprised
last Sunday morning when the
news was circulated that four hearts
had secretly been made as two dur
ing the previous week. SO well had
all plans been carried ont that even
the Sherlock of the Star Herald had
not suspicioned that anything out
of the ordinary had happened. The
contracting parties were Miss
Leona Stevens and 7. d. Lynch of
this city and Miss Myrle Lynch,
also of this city, and Keiffer
Campbell of Water Valley. The
event took place at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. G. ]. Stevens Wed
nesday evening of last week, the
ceremony being performed by Rev.
w. J. Leroy, pastor of the Meth
odlst church. After the ceremony
the boys slipped out and returned
to their homes and nobody was any
the wiser until the secret leaked
out Sunday morning when Mr..
Campbell came in to claim his
bride.
These young people are among
the best the county affords. The
young ladies both held positions in
the Star Herald office for more
than a year and it is our hope that
neither of them will ever find itnec.
essarY to take up their sticks again.
Mr.. Lynch holds a position as
salesman in the big store of S.
Rieglcr S Co., while Mr.. Camp
bell Is very successful farmer of
Water Valley. We believe how
ever that it is the intention of Mr..
and Mrs. Campbell to make their
home In Pocabontas in the near
future.

GOOD ROADS PICNIC
A GREAT SUCCESS

Notwithstanding the inclemencl
of the weather Monday the good
roads picnic was a great success in
every particular. Promptly at 8
o'clock every business house In
Pocahontas closed and about one
hundred business and professional
men went out to the picnic where
they found a crowd of about one
thousand people assembled. More
than one hundred men with teams,
graders and various other road
working tools were already at work
and within very short time it
clearly demonstrated that the build
ing of good road was by no means
an imposslbllity. 1t was the most
enthusiastic crowd VIZ have ever
; -ssn ov-Gny occasions-everybody
was talking and working. AT the
noon hour a bountiful basket dinner
was spread by the ladies, plenty for
all and to spare.
After dinner very interesting
and appropriate address was delIv-
cred by Prof. Brough of the Arkan
sas State University, which was
followed by another from Hon Z.
w. Campbell Of tins city. Both
speeches were well received and the
speakers were loudly applauded at
different time during the course of
their remarks. Prof. Clark of
Little Rock was present and then
gave an example Of road building,
grading about mile with two
graders during the afternoon.
Another novelty Of the occasion
was the demonstration of stump
blasting by a representative of the
Du Pont Powder Co. of st. Louis.
The work has to be seen to be ap
preclated. Late in the afternoon
he lifted an entire tree, measuring
four feet in diameter at the top of
the ground.
County Judge Hufstedler and
John r. Kizer, under whose super
vision the work is being done, or.
ganized their men curing the after
noon and on Tuesday morning went
about the work ma systematic man
ner A large number Of men have
been at work and will continue
until Saturday night, or longer if
necessary in order to complete the
road. 1t is now an assured fact
that Randolph county will have ten
miles of first class public road.

RECALLS TAKE THREE
FROM OONIPHAN

In a series of three games of
baseball played on the local dla-
mond Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week. between the Rexalls and
Doniphan, the former came out
victorious, winning all three games.
With Parten in the box and
Morgan behind the bat for the
home team and Westbrook aud
Ederer, battery for the visitors, the
game Tuesday afternoon was the
prettiest we have ever witnessed.
Our boys were at their best and
outclassed the visitors, Just a little.
1t was almost pitchers battle
until the eighth inning when the
visitors scOreu two runs making 1t
three to two. In the eighth how.
ever, the home team rallied ana
one man crossed the home plate
tying the game. The ninth in
ming resulted in a shut out for each
side. In the tenth the visitors
were shut out while the Rexalls
scored one run, winning the game.
Wednesday mornings game was
a slugging match, or Aatting feast,
for each side. Both teams played
badly and errors piled up by the
score. The result was Is to ~ in
our favor. A regretable feature of
this game was the "splking" of
Catcher Morgan by runner at the
home plate. Morgan was retired
and Douglas took his place.
AT 1870 the boys were greeted by
grand stand full of enthusias
ic fans and the real fun began.
Parten was again in the box for
the Rexalls and the way he did
chop them out was caution.
However, the visitors played classy
ball and for a time 1t was by no
means an assured f9fSShat our boys
would win, rather appeared that
-tirvy-~-'shLl9sesas Sc Name was 4
to when our boys came up to 'oat
the last time. Douglas was on
third when a left fielder brought
him safe at home and advanced
Brown to third and another of the
same kind brought Brown home
and won the game.
The Doniphan boys are good
ball players and finer set of fel,
lows, socially, we never saw.
There was no wrangling, whatever,
the boys admitting that they were
defeated fairly. They have lost
four ont Of six games to our boys,
but say they are willing to try them
again and we hope they will return
for another tTyout.
A bevy of beautiful Donlphan
girls accompanied the boys, namely,
Misses Irene and Edna Ma
brey, Lille Page, Mona Dick,
lrma and Mary Wright, Zula and
Florence Gerlach. The young
ladies returned home Wednesday
morning.

I.O.O.F. GAINS IN MEMBERSHIP

Harry S. Pine, secretary of the
Grand Lodge, l.. O.. O. F. of New
Jersey, has just prepared report
showing the wonderful strides made
by the organization in this State in
the past five years. The net gain in
assets is above the $4,000 mark, the
total assets of the Grand Lodge
amounting to $1,295, TAI. a. The l..
%. o. F. is the largest fraternal or
ganization in the world, and the pro-
gress made by the New Jersey branch
in the five years Mr.. Pine has been
secretary is most pleasing to the Sow
ereign Grand Lodge and members in
general.
In the past five years the New Jer-
sey Lodge has paid sick benefits for
139,602 weeks, which is an average of
$26.09 for every member enrolled
Despite this drain on the treasury,
the assets amount to $l.295,7 TAI. IA, of
which great part is cash. The sum
of $90,525 was raised for the Home
for the aged. and $4,745 for the Ridge
ly Orphanage, and $1,S15. 80 for the
aged Odd Fellows Fund
The net increase in members to
January l, 1911, was 1884, and the
net increase the past six months 766,
making total of 2,150.
The net increase in membership of
the Sovereign Grand Lodge in the past
five years was 423,019, making total
membership of 2,023,731. The amount
of invested funds is $57,743, 272 so.

MAIL POUCHES.
They Cost From a Few Cents to Thou
sands of Dollars Each.

sands of Dollars Each.
Uncle Sam has twenty eight differ
ent kinds of mail bags in service, and
they range in cost from % cents to
81, 1856 each. There are mail pouches
for almost every conceivable use, and
you can ship almost anything that
comes within the postal regulations
with q minimum Of loss and breakage.
says Harper's Weekly. Probably the
most peculiar mail bag is the one ar
ranged for carrying bees. Sending
bees by mail was a difficult operation
before the bee bag" was adopted
Usually the bees arrived at their des-
tination dead or SO exhausted that
they were of little use. Now these
little honey makers can be shipped by
mail several thousand miles in the
bee bag without suffering and can
obtain air and good supply of food
during their transit
Mail bags are made of various mate
rails. The cheapest are Of cotton and
the most costly of leather. Those used
on fast expresses are REINFORCED with
metal so that they can be flung from
fast moving trains without damage.
Even then these bags. or catcher
pouches do not last much more than
year and a half. while some Of the
cotton bags used for the work viii re-
main in service upward of ten years.
In parts of the west, where the mail
must be carried for many miles on
horseback. special pouches are in use
for singing over the animals TANKS.
In the far frozen north special bags
are made for sled transportation. and
in the cities bag In use for pneu-
matte tube service is made Of COM
position called .1eatheroid" The or
binary cotton mail bags are woven so
closely that they are practically wa
terproof. and in the weave there are
thirteen stripes of blue. Each country
marks its own mail pouches in some
individual way, so that If one gets
lost in a far country its ownership
can be readily detected.
Nearly 65.O00.OO0 mail bags are used
each year by the whole country, and
as they are being worn out all the
time the supply has to be kept up.
There are mail bag hospitals, where
tens of thousands of them go every
week. One such mail bag hospital re-
pairs upward of 5000 day. These
crippled bags are in all sorts Of dilap-
dated conditions. A railroad wreck
may injure several hundreds or thou
sands, and these must all go to the
hospital before entering active life
again Christmas is responsible for
much damage to the mail bags. owing
to the hard service they get, and inn
mediately after the midwinter holiday
season several hundred thousand bags
go to the hospitals.
Mail bags are the most Travelled of all
articles in use today. They are cor
stantiy moving, and it would be inn
possible to estimate the number OF
