ledman'S New Fountain.

Lehman Brothers are adding
greatly to the appearance of their
attractive Drug Store, by installing
new soda fountain. The work is
the production of the Bishop Bab-
cock Becker Co., and bears the Red
Cross, which that company gives as
the "Pledge of Purity"
Wednesday afternoon, we had the
privilege of looking through the en-
tire plant, and we must say that it
is complete and up-to. date in every
respect. The woodwork is of birds
eye maple, with walnut finish, and
the inside and trimmings are of fine
Carrara. The fountain has a New
York draft stand onyx, surmounted
by a beautiful mosaic ball. The
refrigerator Is so arranged as to
furnish both plain and earbonated
water at the lowest temperature.
The metal work is of aluminium,
and trimmed with sold German sill.
ger. The refrigerator has a body
of pressed cork, five inches thick,
lined with Carrara. The propri-
etors tell us that no expense has
been spared to make their fountain
strictly clean and sanitary in every
respect. They expect to have it in
operation by tomorrow (t'riday).

Whereas, the teachers of Ran.
dolph county have for the past
two weeks been assembled together
in what has proved to be the most
successful Normal in the history of
our country, and
Whereas, we consider the success

due to the ability and untiring
efforts of Prof. r. E. Womack,
our efficient instructor, now there
fore,
Be it resolved by the members of
the Randolph county teachers
Normal of 1912:
That we extend to Prof. Womack
the assurance of our sincere appre-
citation Of his presence with us,
That we heartily endorse his
work as being thorough in point of
scholarship and intensely interest
ing in method,
That we recognize in him all the
ESSENTIALS that go to make an able
instructor,
That we unhesit atingly commend
him ss beacon light IN his profess
sion, and
That a copy of these resolutions

COUNTY NORMAL

Last Friday closed the most sue
cessful Normal ever held in Ran

sibility they are undertaking. Men.
ton should be made of Messrs.
Short, Phipps, James, Prevett,
Mrs. Ellis, and Misses Mock and
Worrall, and others as well, for the
valuable instruction given. The

names:
Elsie Poynor, Sallie Thomas,
Lydia Taylor, Helen Ledbetter,
Mrs. Stacy, X. j. M. Wyatt, G. G..
Bradford, Clarence Bennett, Violet
Boone, Oda Burton, L. E. Mahaffey,
jamie Glover, E. E. Hulen, Hubert

and on High School education by
B. W. Torreyson, Professor of
Arkansas Secondary Education; lee
lures on health, disease and santa

Support Your Home Newspaper

A good local newspaper Is one of
the surest signs of a progressive
community and it is to every farm
er's interest to do what he can to
make his county paper good paper.
1t tells him things which he should
know and which no other paper can
tell him. Often it will be the best
advertising medium be can use and
if the editor realizes that the farmers.
in HIS territory are trying to help
him make a good paper, he is more
than likely to be willing on his
part to do all he can to advance the
interest Of the rural sections. We
realize that too many local papers
give practically all their attention
to the town and neglect the country
districts, but we wonder sometimes
If this is not almost as much the
farmers fault as it is the paper's.
Get in touch with your local paper.
Send in to it any item of news you
may have. Let the editor know
about any good farming that Is be-
ing done IN your neighborhood.
Help him to see that the prosperity
of town is founded upon the pros
perlty of the farming country about
1T, In this way you can help him
make better paper and enable HIM
to be of more service to you and to
the community.-The Progressive
Farmer.

On the Local Diamond

Two ball games were played last
Saturday afternoon on the local field.
The first was a scoring contest be-
tween Sharum and a mixed team
from Cherry Hill and Hubble
Creek, and the way those hoys did
pile up the scores was a fright.
When the umpire closed the game
in the ninth inning, the card showed
81 points for the Cherry Hill boys,
and Sharum came closed behind
with IS. The batteries for

AT CONVENTION

The battle Tor the presidential
nomination is now ON in good
earnest at Chicago. The Conven-
ton was called to order at II
o'clock, Tuesday, by Chairman
Rosewater of the National Com
mittee, and after a fierce fight for
five hours, the Taft forces succeed
ed in getting Ellhu Root elected as
temporary Chairman. This means
a decided point in favor of the
Taftltes. However the Roosevelt
men say they will fight every inch
of the way, and up-to.date they are
making good their threats. The
Roosevelt delegates who were GUST
ed by the committee are hoping to
gain their seats in the convention
by appealing to the Committee on
Credentials.
So far this convention has not
been characterized by the usual
noise making, long-continued up
roar attending most conventions.
On the contrary, the manner and
bearing of the assembled delegates
have been drawn and tense. Even
the whole atmosphere seems charg-
ed with this spirit. Latest reports
Wednesday night, show that there
is likelihood of two conventions
that is, a split in the convention.
This will mean that both Taft and
Roosevelt will be candidates for the
presidency on the Republican ticket.
OF one thing, and only one, are we
certain, that the present convention
will go down in history as the
fercest and bltterest struggle in the
annals of the Republican party.
