Smoke discovered coming out Of a
window in the Taylor House block on
Monday evening about II o'clock
caused an alarm of fire to be sent in,
but the fires at the water works station
were so low that the siren gave only
faint sound and the electric alarm at
the engine house also failed to respond.
Fortunately there was no fire to speak
of or delays in getting out the depart
ment might have proven serious. Matt
Williams, who has room in the block,
had thrown pine kindlings on hard
coal fire and the smoke filled the room
so it pulled out of the windows caus-
ing the appearance of fire.

the Association. The programs
both for the general sessions and

unusually strong and interesting
to the teachers.
A very vigorous campain for an
increased attendance is being car
ried on by the officers of the As
ISOLATION. Every teacher in the
state is being reached with an
nouncements and literature con-
corning the meeting. Many of
the attendance leaders recently ap-

OWNS HISTORIC
LITTLE TRUNK
Chest Which Washington Carried
inRovelutionary War Own
ed by b. III. Dodd

B. H. Dodd of Rosie left at The
Journal office few days ago what
is perhaps the most historic relic
in Arkansas. 1t is a small chest,
not much larger than an ordinary
cigar box, that was used by George
Washington during the Revolu-
tionary war. General Washington
used it to carry currency in to pay
the soldiers who fought to throw
of the British yoke and establish
American independence.
The trunk is perhaps 100 years
old and plainly shows the ravages
of time. 1t is covered with seahog
hide, from which the hair is not en-
tirely worn off. Near one end of
the trunk is a large identure, made
with sword, when a British Tory
struck at Washington during a
battle. and Washington thrust the
little money trunk between himself
and the Tory to ward off the blow,
thereby perhaps saving his own
life.
The trunk was given to William
A. Loftin by General Washinton in
1777. Loftin was a messmate and
friend of Washington, and was
given the trunk as a token of high
esteem in which he was held by
Washington. In 1886 Loftin gave
the trunk to William Cement, a
great newphew. and two years lat
er Loftin died at the age of SO, in
North Carolina. near where Ruth
erford now is. Ozmant lived a
bachelor and a few years ago while
living alone near Rosie he became
pressed for funds and sold good
portion of his personal effects. Mr..
Dodd bought the little trunk, which
he values very highly. He was
once offered$500 for it and refused
to seilit.
The historic little trunk is now
on exhibition in w. D. Hinson's
show window at the postoffice and
can be seen there until Monday
night by anyone who desires to
see it.

q EARS OF CORN
WEIGH 40 POUNDS
John Barber of Point Neighbour
hood Exhibits Some Finest
Corn Ever Seen Here

John M. Barber, one of the Point
neighborhood's successful farmers,
was showing some of the best corn
in town Saturday that was ever
grown in this part of the county,
and this section is noted for its
good corn.
He brought in % ears which
weighed 40 pounds after being
shucked. The corn was grown
by him on the D. P. Whisnant
farm, and is new variety of corn
which he obtained last spring The
corn is known as the white Won
der" Last spring he obtained
about half a gallon of this corn
for seed, which he planted on about
half an acre of ground. The seed
was sent him by relative in Ok
lahoma, but on account of the
drouth there the previous year,
the crop was badly damaged and
as the grains were very small it
did not impress him very favor
ably. However, he planted the
corn but expected nothing more
than an ordinary yield from it, SO
gave it no special attention. In
fact, being pushed for time when
it needed attention, he was forced
to neglect it and it was given only
one blowing. But it was on very
rich land and grew rapidly and
seemed thrifty, so he thought but
little about it until nearly gather
ing time, when he discovered that
it was the best on the entire farm.
From the half,gallon of seed plant
ed on about half an acre of ground
he gathered nearly so bushels of
corn.
OF the corn he brought to town
a number of the ears measured
nine inches in circumference, con-
tanned 20 rows of grains and were
13i inches long. The ears were
, not selected but were picked up at
at random from his crib.
J. E. Mccoy of Logan township
bought the corn from Mr.. Barber
for seed, paying him a dollar for
the % ears.

CANDIDATES ARE BUSY
Many Would be President of the
Arkansas Senate

Little Rock, Nov. 25.-Almost
daily conferences are being held
in Little Rock these days, seeking
to solve the problem of selecting
the presiding offices for the COM
ing state senate. Up to date
neither of the candidates have
enough votes to elect, and it is
hard to tell what the outcome will
be. Senators seeking the presi-
dency are Senators, Oldham of
Lonoke, Martin of Faulkner, and
Raney of independence. If the
three candidates remain in the
field until the organization of the
legislature in January, MIR. Raney
would have the decided advantage
as the friends of all the candidates
concede that he has a strong fol.
lowing.

LOCAL BUYER MAKES
Big DEAL In CATTLE
Slo75 New High Record Price
Paid for Two Cars of Cattle
by r. K. Ration

Newark is becoming quite a cat
tie market and the bidding often
becomes quite sharp between the
various buyers. This is of course
a good thing for the man who has
cattle to sell, and results in the
farmer getting the top price for
his cattle when he sells to a New
ark buyer. 1t is said that when
a Newark cattle man decides to
buy cow or a yerrling he will
give a farm for it, if it takes that
to buy it, rather than miss trade.
Several thousand dollars worth
of cattle have been shipped from
here this summer and fall, but the
largest single deal made was made
Monday when r. r. Ration bought
two carloads and paid $1675 for
them. One car of them were
bought from A. NJ. Edgar and the
other car from John Sisk. All the
parties are local buyers and have
been dealing in cattle for num-
Der of years. But Mr.. Ration de-
cided he wanted the cattle and
bought them after they were load
ed On the cars, paying the price
allowed mentioned. He shipped
them out Immediately to st. Louis
where they were sold Wednesday.
