BROWNS CROSSING.

Corn planting is nearly all done at
this place and some cotton is planted,
but last Sundays rain will put a stop
to farm work for several days.
We have two Sunday schools here
now. The Baptist meets every Sun
day morning at Old Liberty and the
Methodist every Sunday evening at
Grahams Chapel. Both are we'll at
tended and the singing class meets
with both schools.
We don't hear our farmers talk
about reducing their cotton acreage
and some are buying corn in Conway
and paying $3.50 a bushel on time
and will raise Scent cotton to pay it..
How long will it take the farmers to
learn that there is more money in
corn, peas and hay than there is in
cotton and if we raise big crop this
year as we did last year we may look
for scent cotton.
We are glad to see the truck raisers
getting started but why not start a
canning factory to can all the straw
berries that get too ripe to ship and
can peaches, tomatoes and vegetables.
One good turn deserves another and
let's keep the ball rolling until we
get what We want.
DR.. H. E. Cureton of Conway was
here last week to see Mrs. Francis
Jones, who has been very sick.
| Mrs. C. l. Atwater was called to
| Ingleside last Saturday to see her
father, B. F. Hughes, who is at pres
ent very low with dropsy.
Mr. and Mrs. Burkhart visited at
Vernon Wilkerson's near the Cross
Roads last Sunday.
Newt Jones son, Ebert, was quite
sick last week, but he is now better.
Will Vestal passed through here
last Sunday on his way home from
Little Rock.
The fruit crop is not hurt here and
we hope to hear the same from all
over the county.

DAMASCUS.

We are having some cool weather
at this writing
Prof. O'Neal's baby has been very
i'll for several days, though he is some
better at this writing.
The trial between Winn:ngham and
Allison was put off until Tuesday at
10 o'clock a. m.
Mrs. Sada Privett is reported as be-
ing on the sick list at this writing.
Prof. Halbrook was here while
this evening on his way to Choctaw
and will return to Martinville tomor-
row.
There were several people in town
today on account of it being too wet
to pillow and a trial expected.
The pupils of Damascus high school
presented a drama, Farm Folks" to
a crowded house at Quitman Satur-
day night, April 81. Owing to the in
clement weather, most of our players
had a downcast look when they reach
ed home Sunday afternoon. But when
they all reached the school building
and were hailed with ''yells" of sue
cess, the sun shone out bright and
work was begun theoretically. AL
though we are in the country and
most of our parents are compelled to
depend on agricultural work for their
livelihood, %hey have enough energy
and enough respect for their children
to keep them in school while they are
needed at home. At the beginning of
| the coming term We are expecting a
new auditorium with all the conven-
fences of modern opera house
Some of our boys will soon be away
for the universities when summer
comes, but will be with US again next
fall. Many of the boys and girls will
teach through the summer, and each
expects to do such good work that
they will be able to bring many to our
school. Anyone wanting to go to d
real, live, enthusiastic school, will find
the place at Damascus. Besides the
strong, solid literary work, there is
much interest in athletics, good
course in art, and probably another
year we will have music. Two of our
teachers will take postgraduate
course during the summer, and every
thing will be in readiness for real
work by another term, with a we'll
built, well-seated, well-lghted and
well-heated schoolhouse. If you wish
to do well, investigate our school.

LARGE CROWD
VISITS CARNIVAL

A big gathering of ladies, children
and men mingled with each other last
evening on the carnival grounds and
all appeared to thoroughly enjoy the
many pleasant attractions which the
and all came away with the verdict
that this particular company is above
the average and entirely free from
anything that might be deemed objec-
tionable.
The DiXieland Minstrels offer a va
riety of songs and dances that are
amusing, and judging from the laugh
ter which greeted the performers, this
attraction in particular meets with
the approval of everyone
McHenry's big Jungle show pre-
sents all the strangest species of the
bird and animal kingdom, featuring
Big jim, snake weighing 300 pounds
and said to be 400 years old.
Baby Ethel is one of natures hu-
man curiosities, having a head weigh
ing AZ pounds, being twice the size of
her body
The merry go-round and ferris
wheel, as usual, are being well patron
lied, while the Human Roulette seems
to be the riding device entirely new to
this section, and creates much fun to
those who watch the antics of those
attempting to ride the revolving
wheel.
The Imperial Mexican Band tends
to enliven the atmosphere by render
ing popular selections throughout the
entire evening.

URGES MORE INTEREST
in BOYS CORN CLUB
S. B. WEBB HOPEFUL THAT
FAULKNER COUNTY WILL
MAKE A GOO DSHOWING.

Farmers who have boys in the cot
ton and corn clubs are urged by Coun-
ty Demonstration S. B. Webb to take
pains with the boys and try to make
winners of them. Remember that
not only your boys interest is at
stake" says Mr.. Webb, "but your
county might, with your help, be a
winner. Practically every county in
the state is well organized with cot
ton and corn clubs, and you can rest
assured that this county will not only
have to hustle, but will have to do
some extra good farming to be win
ners at the state fair this fall.
LET us not only make a good show
ing ut our county fair, but be we'll
repl escnted at the state fair this fall.
Some very fine prizes will be offered,
both at the county and state fairs.
Remember, Faulkner county is a col
lege county and is regarded as one
of the most uptodate counties in the
state, and it will be expected of us to
make good showing, not only in corn
and cotton clubs, but all grades of
farm products and livestock.
Learn to be corn producers, see
that your crib is always full and you
will be prosperous farmers. Have
your boys gather from the woods the
top soil and apply on thei rpatches
Get good grades of fertilizer, harrow
often and keep up a good cultivation
and let's see what Faulkner county s
boys can do"

lis expected by the officials of the St.
Louis Southwestern Cotton Belt)
system, that the water will be about
|eight inches higher than their tracks

a sand bang levee will be thrown up
to protect the property for distance
of about 200 yards.
No fear is felt by the business peo-
pie and residents along Washington
and Arkansas avenues that the river
will rise high enough to do them any
damage or cause any inconvenience,
although some of the houses that are
practically on the river bank may feel
the effect of the food, should the rise
be as high as predicted by the wealth
err bureau.

Kitchenettes.

To remove mildew from linen take
some yellow soap and rub it we'll in
to the linen, then scrape some chalk
very fine and rub that in also. Lay
the linen on the grass and, as it dries,
wet it again; this done two or three
times should remove the mildew. An
other way is to mix soft soap and
powdered starch with half the guam
tity of salt and juice of lemon. Lay
the mixture on with brush and let
the linen lie out on the grass for
few frosty nights and the stain will
soon disappear. All linen will turn
yellow if kept long unused or locked
in linen press and excluded from
light and air.
Olives stoned and chopped and
mixed with fresh butter or heavy
cream and cream cheese make one
of the most delicious sandwich fill
ings.
To keep the kitchen range fire
when you are not using it take the
stove lids off a little while before
putting on fresh coal. Then put the
lids on only half way.
If you find insects when washing
lettuce put it through sailed water,
then rinse again in clear. But be
sure not to leave in the salt water
more than minute or it will wilt.
Don't put cereals away in paper
bags. They soon break and dust and
flies enter unchallenged. Wide
mouthed glass jars are both sanitary
and convenient for this purpose.
Don't allow canned goods to stand
in the cans after being opened unless
you want to invite ptomaine poison
ing.
Don't try to keep ice cream, GUS
tards and cream puffs over night.
Eggs and milk cooked together and
allowed to stand furnish a dangerous
combination. Republic.

WILSON AND WIFE. TO LEAVE SOON
 FOR SEA TRIP
President-Elect to Avoid Horde of Place Seekers by Going
 to Bermuda

Princeton, N J.. Nov. 7-The horde of office seekers who are headed here States and even a few from the far Philippines, according to reports, are not awaited with any great degree of equanfnity by President-elect Will son.
 In fact, he is already arranging to elude them for a time at least. To tl1es President-elect, accompanied only by Mrs. Wilson, will sail from New York on the morning of Nov. Is.
 A private yacht has been placed at and the Governor will sail for Der muda- He will be gone two weeks. Away from everybody he will be able to make up his mind on questions of appointments and when he returns here in December, it will be with a definite set of plans mapped out in his mind.
 There has been considerable discus sion of where the President-elect stands on the questions of reciprocity and canal tolls, but it was stated to- day that he has never assumed any decided position on either question. It is probable he will not take any de- officially brought to his attention af- ter he is inaugurated President It was said today that the Cover nor's immediate concern is his home State. He feels keenly the charges made by his opponents in the State that he failed to carry out his State reform program because he was too
 much concerned with his fight for the Presidency. It was said here today that Gov. Wilson planned immediate ly to take up with his Heutenants in the State a program Of reform legis- Iation to be presented to the Legis- lattyre when 1t meets immediately af- ter the first Of the year.
 The President elect spent today at tending to a mass of correspondence that had accumulated since his cleo ton was assured. As far as pos sible, the most important of the let tefs and teIegrans are being sorted out and answered. He slept late again today, in accordance with his plan to get as much rest as possi- bIe.
