Got a Case After All.

The young lawyer had just opened
his office, and his new shingle, the
paint scarcely dry, hung outside the
door.
A step was heard and the next
moment a mans frame was silhout-
ted against the ground glass of tho
door
Hastily the legal fledgling stepped
to his brand new telephone and TAX
ing down the receiver, gave every
appearance of being in a business
conversation.
"Nes, Mr.. Brown" he was saying
as the man entered. "I'll attend to
that corporation matter for you. Mr.
Martin had me on the phone this
morning and asked me to settle a
damage suit for his railroad, but |
had to turn him down--Im SO rushed
with cases just now. But I'll attend
to your matter, although | will have
to sandwich it in somewehre between
other cases. Yes, yes. All right.
Goodby."
And hanging up the receiver, he
turned to his visitor, having as he
thought, duly impressed him.
Excuse me, Mr. Young" said the
man apologizing, "but I'm from the
telephone company I've come in to
connect up your phone. Every
body's.

HAL.

Hal is a well known combination
horse. He stands 16 hands high !;
color, coal black; eight years old. Hal
really needs no introduction to the
people of Faulkner county. He was
foaled and raised at Conway, Arkan-
sas, by Stonewall Anderson, and for
the last five years mas made this
stand. Hal is given up by all who
know him to be the best aL-purpose
horse in this county. He is d very fine
saddle horse, and goes all the gaits-
six in all-walk, fox-trot, pace, slow
lope, sing!efoot, straight trot. He is a
nice driving horse, has plenty CT style,
will trot straight or singlefoot; goes
either one in about a three-minute
clip; has plenty of speed for a road
ster. He will do all kinds Of farm
and road work He has plenty Of colts
that advertise him better than a news
paper can. During the last five years
he has had plenty of service, but we
feel like he deserves a good boost. His
patrons increase as he is better
known. He is bred of the Hal stock
and his sire was $4,000 horse. Can
furnish pedigree. He will stand at
the Fair Grounds.
He will make one stand only at Con-
way. Price, $40. Will Go all in my

MISCELLANEOUS MAIL.

Little Rock, April 24.-The mail of
the governor is an interesting. propo-
sition, as everything imaginable is re-
quested of the chief executive, espe-
cially from the ignorant citizens. 1t
has been only few days since boy
in Oklahoma wrote and asked Acting
Governor Futrell to write an essay for
him, and this was followed by others
of similar nature. The climax of all
the letters, is one received Wednesday
from negress in Memphis, who ap-
peals to the governor as the Lord of
Arkansas. The husband Of the old
negress is in the penitentiary for SELL
ing mortgaged cotton, and all through
the letter, the language is in the form
of a praper to the LORD CT Arkan-
sas."

REPEAT CITY
BEAUTIFUL PRIZES
PRESIDENT OF ASSOCIATION
URGES GREATER INTEREST
IN CIVIC WORK.

From Fridays Daily.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
The Conway City Beautiful Asso-
citation now offers prizes for the most
beautiful yards and porch. c. c. Den
ney will again give a loving cup for
the most attractive small yard, Mrs.
j. A. Pence will continue her offer of
a handsome fern for the loveliest
porch, not combining the prize to the
porch-box, but the porch, as an ar
tistic whole. An equally handsome
prize will be given for the large lawn
presenting the most elegant appear
ance.
The association now requests some
one interested in this progressive
work of making Conway beautiful to
offer at very early date a prize for
the large lawn, as that has not yet
been provided for. Will not some of
our citizens feel that it is a privilege
to assist US this much in our work of
civic pride?
If one cannot give it alone, it could
be given by two or more. We urge
that this be considered promptly by
our public spirited citizens, and the
name or names sent in to the presi

WILL ORGANIZE
CITY BALL Team
STRONG BUNCH OF AMATEURS
ARE TRYING FOR POSITIONS
ON NEW NINE.

1t is very probable that Conway
will enjoy real baseball all summer.
Quite number of the best baseball
players in the city are meeting this
afternoon for the first try-out, and
from the indications, Conway will
have one of the best teams in the
state. The old cotton yard park is
being used for practice grounds.
]. Martin Downing, who coached
the Conway high school team in 1911
when that institution won the state
secondary championship, will coach
and manage the team Mr.. Downing
has mad a great deal of experience in
baseball, having played on the high
school, State Normal and Hendrix
College teams, besides several seasons
with the town team, and will doubt
less produce a winning team.
Among those who are trying out for
the team this afternoon, are less
Legg, Douglass Legg, Sam Scott, John
IT. Erwin, Joe McCulloch, Thomas
Moore, Glen Piercey, Clyde Ellis,
Harlan Thornton and William ALI
son. 1t is expected that number Of
others will seek to get berth on the
team within the next few days.
The first game for the new team
will be played Wednesday when they
meet the Hendrix College Bulldogs
on Hendrix field. Although they will
have had but little practice, and team
work will be poor, it is believed that
they viii put up a good game and
make the collegians work hard to keep
from being defeated.
Whether or not the team will hold
together all summer depends very
largely on the amount of encourage
ment the players receive from the
Conway fans. If the local baseball
enthusiasts want baseball all season.
all that is necessary is that they give
the team their support financially and
attend the games.
Wednesdays game will be called at
o'clock, and it is hoped that a large
crowd witnesses the contest.

WATERS OF WHITE RIVER MAY
TURN THE WHEELS OF
COMMERCE. !!
!

Batesville, April ga large hy-
draulic power plant located at Bates
vile, now seems practically sure, and
it will be on the order of the plant
proposed at Cotter. 1t is said here
that there is enough power in White
river afforded by the three dams here
to drive the wheels of every factory
in the state.
Charles A. Tremmel of the Missouri
Engineering Company has arrived in
the city and spent the day in company
with j. c. Fitzhugh, Nathan Adler
and DR.. J. C. Door, making prelimi-
nary survey of the situation, and will
later make report in detail to the
city council and board of trade. He
says the plan is feasible.
For many years private interests
have sought to obtain control Of this
power, but under AN act of congress
this power is not available for private
enterprises except by municipal ac-
ton. In order that factories and in
.dustries may get the advantage of the
power it becomes necessary for the
municipality of Batesville to erect the
power plant and lease the power to all
who want it.
1t is likely that an effort will be
made to float bonds for the purpose Of
erecting the plant.
