Kern & Bell is running this con
vention.
John w. Kern, the senior part
ner, was nominated by Bryan for
temporary chat an, declined,
and was made chairman of the
resolutions committee.
Joseph Bell, the junior partner,
is chairman of the credentials
committee, in which position, he
did an excellent job of putting the
Indian Sign on the Hearst-Harri-
son faction of Illinois.
At the beginning of the conven-
ton, the Hearst papers published
a signed statement by Carter H.
Harrison that there will be no
steam roller at Baltimore.
Doubtless Carter has had good
reason to change his mind since.
Anyway, he said it was the steam
roller that did what happened
yesterday.
Theodore Bell, of California, is
a most unhappy man these days.
Bell made speech for Parker
for temporary chairman, and
since then has done little but sign
for kilograms from the folks

Theodore what the folks think of
him.

RARE TOAST
ON ARKANSAS

Some native son at a banquet
responded to the toast. "Arkan-
sas, as follows:
If all the wheat in Arkansas
were one gram the only place to
plant it would be the Grand Can
Won of Arizona, the only hole in
the earth big enough to hold it.
It all the corn raised in the state
were one ear. the only way to
she'll it would be by using steam
stump pullers and extracting a
grain at a time from the cob.
IF all the cattle in Arkansas were
one cow she would browse the
tender herbage of the tropics and
whisk icicles off the North Pole
with her tail and supply milk
enough to fill a canal reaching
from Little Rock to Chicago on
which to ship the boatloads of
her cheese and butter. If all
the chickens in Arkansas were
one rooster he could straddle the
Rocky Mountains like a great
Colossus and crow until he shook
the rings off the planet Saturn.
If all the hogs raised in Arkan-
sas were one hog he conld plant
his hind feet on the soil of Cuba.
his fore feet on the Isthmus of
Panama and with one root OF is
huge snout dig a sea-level canal
from ocean to ocean. If all the
mules raised in Arkansas were
one mule he could plant one fore
foot on the soil of Texas and the
other amid the forests of Maine
and with hind feet kick the face
off the man in the moon.

4 NEW DAn6ER

If the friends of Col. Harvey
succeed in establishing the doc
tyine that a candidate has no
right to shake off a discredited
supporter, Wall street will be IN
position to drive all the progress
i've candidates from the field.
1t will only be necessary to d.
vids the most odorous represen-
tatiyes of predatory wealth
among the black-listed candidates
and start them to euIogIzlng the
victims of the conspiracy. The
candidates, according to Wall
street logic would have to smile
and say thank you while they
saw their hopes blasted by secur-
ing companionship with known
enemies of the people. Has not
the subsidized press power en-
ough now without this new wea.
pom? Governor Wilson may or
NAV not be the most available
candidate for president but it
will take more than the break
with Col. Harvey to put him out
Of the running.

". R. NELSON ASK $4,000 VERDICT

W. r. Nelson, through his at
torneys, Chamberlain & Town
send, yesterday filed a suit in the
Circuit Court against the Ark
ansas Life Insurance Company
for $50, 900 for damages alleged
to have been sustained on ac-
count of the publication in a pam
phlet entitled The Live Wire, :"
which he states was circulated
by the defendant company, which
contained an item stating that
w. R. Nelson. former superin-
tendent of the Little Rock dis.
trict, was informally dismissed
for appropriating funds belong
ing to the company to his own
use.
Plaintiff states that the publi-
cation of this statement brands
him as an embezzler, which he
states is false, and has greatly
injured his good name and repu-
tation. Arkansas Gazette.

Many a volume of sermons has
contained less of the essential
doctrine of right living than
Squire Roberts recently c O m
pressed into his explanation of
the fact that New Cambria, Mo-,
with 500 inhabitants, has forty
two octogenarians: When the
town started there was a con-
tract against the sale of any pro-
perty to be used as saloon.
There was no vice. A good
church was maintained from the
start. The settlers grew up in
the faith and were taught to love
and help their neighbors. They
were good to their parents. In
sickness and trouble they were
always to lend assistance. Abso-
lutte honor in business transact
ions was their creed. They did
their duty every day. It's the
law of nature and of natur's God.
These words are good enough to
cut in marble or cast in brass

Cooper-W Woods.

At the Methodist parsonage on
the evening of the 18th inst. Miss
Laura Woods was married to Mr..
Rush Cooper, the ceremony being
p erformed by Rev. w. L. Duren.
There had been several rumors
that this marriage had taken
place, or would take place, but
the young people were deter
mined to have the ceremony over
without too many getting into the
secret, and so we'll did they
guard their secret that the home
folks were not aware of the mar
riage until some time after the
ceremony. Only a few friends
were present to witness the tie
ing of the nuptial knot.
The bride is one ofour choicest
young ladies. From a little girl
she has grown up in our midst,
honored and admired by old and
young alike. She has always
been general favorite with her
acquaintance. The groom is al
most a stranger to us, but comes
from one of the first families of
Amory, and bears a splendid rep
utation with the officials of the
Frisco road for whom he has
worked long time. He is now
| in the freight department CT the
local Office. We are pleased to
note that they viii remain among
US, and we assure them OF our
very best wishes.

Mrs. E. W. Armstrong Thurs
day afternoon, February Is.
Upon arriving the guests were
cordially welcomed by the host
ess and ushered into the dining
room where tea and waters were
served. The home was attract
lively decorated with ferns and
American Beauty roses.
The meeting was opened by
the president, Mrs. Fletcher
Johnson. Responses at roll call
were in we'll known quotations
from Dickens. Mrs. Hall was
the giftad leader for the after
noon, and an interesting pro-
gram was rendered, concluded
by the Table Talk in the charac-
teristics of Dickens. lmmedi-
ately after the program a dainty
salad and ice course was served.
The club has now completed
it's organization with the follow

kins, second vice-president; Mrs.

The club expects to formulate
plans in the near future for the
adoption of some special course
of study, and to take steps
towards joining the State Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs.
Much interest is being mani
tested by the Club which, with
the many good things that are
being planned, and the kind ex-
pYassions from the older Clubs
of the town. gives us cause to
hope for great results IN the
near future.
