Gard of Thanks.

We all wish to return our sincere
thanks to our good neighbors and
friends for the kindness and goodness
they showed us during the sickness of
our loved one. And we also want to
thank the Masonic order for the g
spect they showed us in laying I'LL
loved one at rest. Home is not the
same any more. There is a vacant
place that can not be filed. Some
times it seems that we can not live
without him. But God knows best.
He is gone, but not forgotten.

Associate Justice of the Iron County
Court for the Southern District, James
Lewis, of Des Arc, arrived in Ironton
Sunday afternoon on train No. 4 to at
tend the adjourned term of County
Court, which has been in session this
week, having made the journey that
day from Pangburn, White county,
Arkansas, where he has Ave son in
the sawmill and mercantile business.
The Judge says Pangburn is a live
town and the boys are doing well, but
that it is the greatest place f~or"credit''
business he ever knew anything of.
Absolutely, everything, or nearly ev-
erything, is charged. Cash is an al
most unknown quantity in the daily
transactions there. The Judge stayed
there about a month. He said he
needed a suit Of clothes and his shoes
we're worn out. He deliberated
over the matter at length. He felt
sure that IL he went into a store and
offered cash for his purchases he would
excite suspicion. What could he do9
A happy thought struck himl He
would establish a line Of credit and dc
business like the Arkansas people did,
In other words, sin Rome be a Ro-
man." He did SO; got his hat and
clothes and came on his way rejoicing
Since his return home the Judge says
that he has thought the matter over
carefully and has concluded thai

North overcalled Vests bid with two

Simplicity Of Conventions and
Of Systems Is for the Best
Interests Of the Game.

at the outset of these auction bridge
clinics, in December last, we laid down
the proposition that the correct theory Of
the game was winning the rubber by abso.
lutte reliability in bidding. leading to in
tellisent cooperation of partners, or team
work" as opposed to the deceptive. or
penalty. or any other theory Of the game.
The best students of the pastime now
recognize and advocate that theory. and
the writings now being put out are worthy
Of the game.
We wish AT this time TO lay down an
other proposition for the good of the
game-namely. make and keep the sys-
TENS and conventions of the game simple
Whist had multiplicity of perhap s
necessary systems and conventions. echoes

openings. American leads. etc. that de-

excellent player though he was. instead Of
playing the ten. played the queen from
dummy. although East had denied the
Jack by his play OF the king on the first
round Of the suit. This. Of course. gave
East and West five tricks in hearts. and
with two tricks in diamonds already in
and the prior acc OF spades. total OF
eight tricks was scored against the make
and North and South fell three tricks
short Of their contract.
While North and South should have
gone game Al their two no trump declara-
ton. a three club make would have easily
scored three odd for game. In this ana
similar situations suit declaration
should be given preference whenever pos
sible. being less at the mercy Of unevenly
distributed suits.
