G. NJ. CONNELL FOR REPRE-
SENTATIVE.

George NJ. Connell of Newton
township announces in this issue of
the Log Cabin Democrat his candi-
dacy for a second term as representa-
tive of Faulkner county, subject to
the will of the Democratic party. Mr.
Connell served in the Legislature OF
|1913 and made a record on which he
lis willing to stake his claims for re-
election. He served on three OF
the most important house COM
mittees, those of temperance, educa
ton and engrossing, and worked
and voted for all measures intended
to promote the interests OF those
great causes, temperance and educa-
ton. He was instrumental in secur-
ing one of the best appropriation
ever given the State Normal School,
and it was probably due to his efforts
that the appropriation for the prac-
tice school now being conducted was
not eliminated from the bill. Mr..
Connell is a popular young teacher
and has many friends who hope to
see him reelected.

FAULKNER THIRD
AT MEMPHIS FAIR
LED ARKANSAS COUNTIES
AGRICULTURAL BOOTH FIRST
FROM STATE AND THIRD
BEST AT FAIR.

From Thursdays Daily.
Faulkner county's agricultural
booth was the best from Arkansas
and the third best shown at the Tri-
State fair, according to Thursday IS
Memphis Commercial Appeal, from
which the following is clipped:
Franklin county, Tenn, has the
best agricultural booth at the Tri-
State fair.
After several days Of suspense, dur
ing which time the fortunes of half a
dozen exhibits were at ebb high tide,
according to rumor, definite an
nouncement was made yesterday.
Old Shelby lost a game fight and
her hackers smilingly cheered the
winner and took second place with a
rare good will.
Faulkner county, Ark, led off for
third place and gave Arkansas repre-
sentation in the big scramble.
Franklin's exhibit was not only the
most complete at the show, according
to the judges, but had a greater va
riety and the products were in better
shape. Both Franklin and Shelby
were extraordinary exhibits and odds
were even on them until the last min
ute.
In the state races, Franklin natur-
ally took first prize again, leaving
Shelby and Obion the second and
third honors for Tennessee.
In Arkansas, Faulkner led off, with
Washington and Crittenden second
and third, respectively.
Lee county took first among the
Mississippi exhibitors, with Choctaw
and DeSoto second and third, respec-
lively.

M0N0PL FLIGHT
FOR COUNTY FAIR
FRENCH AVIATOR SECURED
A TWENTY MILE CROSS-COUN-
TRY FLIGHT TO FEATURE
BIG FREE ATTRACTION.

Negotiations were concluded last
night for one of the greatest free at
fractions ever offered by an Arkan-
Sas county fair, when Manager J. A.
King received telegram confirming
the engagement of M. Andre Houp-
ert, the noted French aviator, to
make two daily flights during the
Faulkner county fair in his mono
plane.
In addition to the daily fights dur
ing the fair, Houpert will make a
icross-country flight of 20 miles q!
Monday preceding the fair, providing
the weather permits. If the weather
should be unfavorable for the long
flight Monday, it will be made Tues
day morning.
The directors of the association
have been endeavoring for several
weeks to contract for aeroplane,
but were unable until last night to
close a contract with a reputable
aviator, and it was only by using the
telegraph wires for several days that
they were able to secure him.
Thousands of people were delight
ed two years ago with the biplane
flights of Beckwith Havens at the
Faulkner county fair. The mono
plane is an even more wonderful and
daring contrivance for navigating
the air than the biplane, and Houpert
has an international reputation as
being an aviator who makes most
sensational flights. Houpert is un-
der the management of Charles l..
Young of Kansas City, through
whom he was booked Young was in
Conway two years ago as the man.
ager of Beckwith Havens.
The monoplane flights will give
the county fair which opens next
Tuesday by far the greatest array
of free attractions ever shown in this
city. The big Clifton-Kelley carni-
val company have two fine free acts,
in addition to their score Of shows,
and Blanche McKinneyHunter, with
her marvelously trained horses and
chariot races, herself furnishes for
many county fairs the only free at
traction.

AGED COUPLE DIE
NEAR MT. VERNON
BODIES FOUND BY BOYS
WIFE DEAD TWO DAYS AND
HUSBAND BREATHING LAST
WHEN DISCOVERED.
Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat
Mt. Vernon, Oct. IA sad discov-
cry was made four miles of here Mon,
day, when neighbor boys discovered
Joe Henry Cooper lying on the floor
of his rude cottage, speechless and
dying, while the body of his wife, who
had evidently been a corpse for two
days, was lying on the bed in the
same room.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper were old and
very feeble and were in meager cir
cumstances, being aided by the char
ity of neighbors and friends. The
cause of their death is not known, but
it is believed it was due to natural
causes.
No one had been to the home Of Mr..
CooperCooper, it seemed, for two or
three days, until Monday, some
neighbor boys went there on some er-
rand. They could not go in on ac-
count of vicious dog, but they call
ed loudly at the gate. The doors
were closed and barred Not having
any response from within the house,
only they thought they could hear a
knock and groan of some one when
the dog would cease barking, their
suspicion was aroused, and they hur-
ried TO neighbor's to report.
On coming back and going into the
house, they found Mrs. Cooper lying
across the bed with her clothing on,
and seemingly she had been dead
about two days. Mr.. Cooper was ly-
ing on the floor, dressed, not yet
quite dead, but could not talk, and
died in a short time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper have lived at
their home place for many years.
They were good old people. They
had one son and one daughter each
of whom had died only few years
ago. No one knows of any other rel
atives they have. Mr.. Cooper came
to town only a few days ago and
seemed as we'll as usual, paying a
small bill at one of the stores. All
here regret the circumstances sur
rounding this sad affair.

loneliness as the primeval world.
The wires were down; the letter.
carrier could not break his way in
to them. They heard no news and re-
ceived no mail Confined in a group
OF rude buildings, crouched in a hol.
low OF the Sierra's flank, they felt
for the first time what 1t was to be
outside that circle Of busy activity
in which their lives had heretofore
passed. They were face to face with
the nature they thought they had con.
quered and which now in its quiet
grandeur awed them with a sense of
their own small helplessness. Pressed
upon by that enormous silent indiffer-
ence, they drew nearer together, each
individual unit gaining in importance
from the contrasting immensity with
out. each character unconsciously de.
claring itself, emerging from acquired
reticences and becoming bolder and
more open.
They accepted their captivity in q
spirit OF gay good humor. The only
two members Of the party to whom It
seemed irksome were Bill Cannon and
the actor, both girding against a con-
fnement which kept them from their
several spheres Of action. The others
abandoned themselves to a childish,
almost fantastic enjoyment OF a stu
alton unique in their experience. 1t

position was unusually friendless.
When her marriage had lifted her
from the ranks Of working women she
had shown so cold a face to her old
companions that they had dropped
away from her, realizing that she
wished to cut all ties with the world
Of her humble beginnings. New friends
had been hard to make. The wives

was a great reader Of newspapers.
and when she returned from her after.
noon shopping she brought q bundle
OF evening papers homo In her hand.
She would read these slowly, at first
the important items, then go over
them for matters Of less moment, and
finally scan the advertisements.
At the end Of the week she felt that
she must find out something, and went
to the bank. It was her intention to
cash a small check and over this
transaction see If the paying teller
would vouchsafe any information
about Dominick. She pushed the
check through the opening and, as the
man counted out the money, said
glibly:
DO you hear anything of my wan
dering husband?"
The teller pushed the little pile Of
silver and gold through the window
toward her and leaning forward, said,
with the air OF one who intends to
have a leisurely moment OF talk:
mo, We haven't. Isn't 1t our place
to come to you for that? We were
wondering where he'd gone at such
a season"
Berny's delIcately-gloved fingers
made sudden haste to gather up the
coins.
"Oh. he's Just loaAng about" she
said as easily as was consistent with
the disappointment and alarm that
gripped her. He's just wandering
round from place to place. He was
getting insomnia and wanted a change
of scene."
She snapped the clasp Of her purse
before the man could ask her further
questions, nodded her good-bys, and
turned from the window. Her face
changed as she emerged on the wide,
stone steps that led to the street. 1t
was pinched and pale, two lines drawn
between the eyebrows. She descend.
