THINK OLDFIELD
 DID RIGHT THING
Pocahontas Star Herald Comments Him Fer Refusing to Break
 Promise to Sam Deener

The people generally and the unbiased newspapers of the dist rict do not seem to take much stock in the attacks being made on Congressman Old field for his refusal to break his promise in regard to the appoint ment of postmaster at Batesville. The following from the Pocahon. tas Star-Herald is a fair sample of what the newspapers of the dis trict think about the matter.
 There is no reason that the people of the district should hold MT. 0ldfeld to blame for the Bates vile postoffice matter. That is on ly of concern to the disappointed ones.
 Tt seems that the announce ment of Humphreys against MT. Oldfeld is direct result of the postoffice fight, which statement is casting no reflections upon Judge Humphreys, whatever.
 "Mr. 0ldfeld states that he first offered Mir. Trevathan of Bates vile his indorsement for that place. Trevathan declined, and being strongly in favor of Sam Deener, the latter was 10 be recommended. The situation rested thus until about three months ago, when Trevathan changed his mind, and became an applicant for the office himself, asking Mir. Oldfeld to break his word to Deener, which he refused to do. Mr.0ldfeld says he is still willing to submit the matter to any fair-minded person in the district as to whether he did the right thing.
 We can say this much of MT. Oldf1eld;that he has been continu-.. ously at hi s post of duty since his election, and has become a prom inent figure in the House. Those who realize his experience in that body will know that he IS better fitted to represent his people in the future"

POPULAR COUPLE CELEBRATE SILVER WEDDING

On Friday evening, November 18th at 7:30 p.m., Old Father Time in his stealthy gentle way paused for a moment and drew from the archives his beloved register and chronicled for the twenty-ffth time the marriage anniversary of MT. and Mrs. J. P. Magness of Newark.
 At the appointed hour, despite the very inclement weather, the many guests began to arrive at their beautiful suburban home laden with good wishes for the happy bride and groom
 The program of the evening was most ably carried out by friends who offered their kind assistance to make this one of the most hap py and long-remembered anniver- saries of this popular couple.
 Miss Robbie Meachum, who in her gentle, sweet way, received the guests with a most cordial wei come, and they in turn were re- ceived by two courteous little girls, Misses Anna and Lena Magness, who took charge of the wraps, etc.
 As the guests descended the stairs they were greeted by Miss Jewel Magness, who with gentle grace presided at the register and requested the autograph of each, which will always be most highly prized by the family.
 Mrs. wv. Jernigan with grace ful dignity directed the guests to the parlor, and they were pleasant. ly received by Mrs. Ira J. Matheny and presented to the bride and groom" who, smiling and happy. stood under a huge silver wedding bell laden with smilax and white chrysanthemums and received the hearty congratulations of their host of admiring friends.
 The bride, radiant and beauti- ful, was handsomely gowned in a silver gray brocaded satin messa- line, with blending accessories. So perfectly happy-no trace of care she seemed the light-hearted las sic of twenty-five years ago, when she plighted her troth at the shrine of Venus.
 The groom, neatly dressed in a handsome suit of gray, too, was youthful. despite the avowed years he was celebrating; buoyant, full of life, and no less happy than his lovely bride who has shared the many years of perfect welded bliss by his side.

punch bowl, presided over by two charming young ladies, Misses Winnie Dearing and Minnie Lynn Martin.
 The house was beautifully and artistically decorated in white and green crepe ribbon and dainty trailing festoons of smilax. The plaintiye, sweet notes of stringed instruments from the mystic some where, floated in soft rich cadence over the enchanted audience and each appreciative guest was sorry when the last sweet note foated into the night. Moore, the gentle Irish poet sa ys:
 Music. o! how faint, how weak, Language fades before thy spell, Why should feelings ever speak, When thou can's st breathe her soul so
 we'll?
 Friendships balmy words may feign- Love's are even more false than they; Oh. tis music's strain
 Can sweetly soothe and not betray.
 Some beautiful vocal numbers were sweetly rendered by Miss Pearl Poe specially adapted to the happy occasion, Silver Threads Among the Gold" and "Will You Love Me When l am Old?" were plaintive and sweet and will never grow old.
 Mrs. s. A. Moore and Miss Lo- rine Luekett of Batesville render ed some beautiful duets which were greatly enjoyed. Mrs. E. c. Magness. Misses Lena Magness and Winnie Dearing also contribu- ted beautiful selections.
 Rev. MT. Finley of Sulphur Rock made an interesting and very i'm pressive talk on the sacredness of welded life, the Divine injunction of our Creator who says, What God hath joined together let no man put asunder." Rev. J. L. Brown, noted for his poetic pro- auctions, read beautiful poem entitled Jake and Belle,' which was enjoyed very much and was quite appropriate.
 In the back parlor a long table of furnished silver glinted and glist ened, the gifts of sweet rem emberance, beautiful tokens of loyal friendship that aye can not deface or time erase, attested the high esteem of these good people
 The white chrysanthemum was queen of the decoration; in rich profusion were they banked in the dining room. The table was artis- tically arranged with an exquisite lunch cloth bordered with rich lace, and draped with festoons of smilax. In the center, imbedded in soft white chrysanthemums were twenty-five green candles brightly burnlng, emblamatical of the hap py years of welded life just passed were very lmpressie, and beauti- ful thought.
 Four pure and white candles flashed their bright rays, repre- senting the four lovely children that bless this happy home. : A dainty two-course Thanksgiv-

 Little Misses Ruby Hawthorne and Lillian Hoyt, were the little "bell girls who presented each guest with a silver wedding bell as souvenir of the joyous occa- sion, and may their soft chimes be long remembered in this happy event.
 The most unique and attractive feature of the pleasant evening" to the younger guests, at least - was the cutting of the wedding cake, in whose sweet depths lay hidden many secrets and pro- phecies.
 Dr. w. P. Moore cautiously ap- preached the sweet Fortune Tell CT" who gleefully awaited the glittering blade that was soon to pierce her side to reveal the n.y. stic future of this young man. The doctor drew blank which con- demns him to bachelorhood and he gloomily withdraws, and recalls the beautiful vision in the pipe dream.
 Miss Seddie Meeker timidly con. suits the sweet clairvoyant, con corning her future possibilities and she rewards her with a huge darn ing needle, which pronounces her a spinster. Condemned to maiden. hood she gently and resignedly wraps it up to dream over.

Fine Poultry Rare.
When we commenced breeding fine
poultry over twenty years ago. there
was but one other person for mites
around who raised good poultry. And
il was such rare thing at that time,
especially in the country, that the
people laughed at us and continued
to do so for several years. and re
marked that they did not see why we
should want to waste SO much-Valu-
able time on such a small thing as
poultry. But we were not the kind
that laughing hury much. in fact. IL
only made us the more determined to
succeed, and we did succeed So
much so that II was not very long
until we were getting more out of our
poultry than most of them were get
ting out Of their farms But we kept
on working and advising poultry, and
better poultry, until when We left
that place thirteen years ago we had
mighty near laavened the whole
bunch. They were nearly all raising
some good breed of poultry. We were
doing little advertising wherever we
went by slips or cards, in the local
papers and the farm papeTs-any-
thing that we thought would bring
results-until We became known as
Marshall the Chicken Nan" and we
have never been ashamed OF il to this
day. That is what we want you to
