DAVIS COUNTY MEN
WIN DISTINCTION
CoNGREssMEN, GENERALS AND
GOVERNORS WHO FIRST SAW
LIGHT OF DAY THERE.

Bloomfield, Dec. 15.-(Special Cor
respondence.)--Iow is one of the most
productive states in the union, the rep
utation Of the state and it's products
having gone around the world. Davis
county has a share in that reputation
and in fact has a reputation all OF it's
own on all classes Of live stock, grain,
hay and blue grass pastures.
But there is another crop OF pro-
ducts that has grown up here that is
Of more Importance than. those that
have been mentioned, although 1t 1s
seldom taken under consideration. 1T
is it's crop OF men, some or the most
eminent Of the state having been Davis
county boys, three of whom have filled
the governors chair. They were: r. M.
Drake, B. F. Carroll and the present
incumbent G.. w. Clark. Then several
Of the boys from this county have
been elected to congress: ]. j. Hamilton
and J. A. r. Hull: then that old battle
SCARED veteran Of the civil war, James
B. Weaver, was one of those who gain
ed that honor also and won the title OF
general in the army. The present con-
gresham from the second district, IT.
win Pepper, Is one OF Davis county's
boys. Several Of the older men won
places OF honor during the civil war,
s. A. Moore and James Baker winning
the position Of colonel, and number
Of others gained distinction. 1t was a
Davis county boy, James Dunlavy Of
the private ranks, who single handed
and alone captured as a prisoner that
great rebel general, Marmaduke, and
marched him into camp. At this time
Dunlavy was only 10 years of age. Fol-
lowing the close Of the war, the gov
eminent presented Mr.. Dunlavy with
brace Of silver mounted pistols in
recognition Of his act of bravery in the
capture Of Marmaduke. DunlaVy later
studied medicine and when Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory were COM
bined and opened for settlement. locat
ed there and has since achieved great
prominence.
A large number Of prominent news
paper men have claimed Davis county
as their early home. Among the most
prominent Of these was Ray VanBen-
thusen, who at the time Of his death
few years ago, was managing editor
OF the New York World.
But those mentioned are not the
greatest or entitled to the most honor.
Davis county has reared and sent out
to serve the world a large number OF
preachers Of the gospel, but from which
calling there is no promotion.

Entertain New Pastor.

Little Rock, Nov. 30.-On Fri day evening the members of the Pulaski Heights Baptist church rendered a reception to it's new pastorand his wife, the Rev. and Mrs. E. P. J. Garrott. E. A. Kingsley was master of cere- monies, and after giving briefly a history of the organization of the church he introduced the Rev. Dr. Christian, secretary of the State Mission Board, who in a very able manner, welcomed the coming of the pastor and gave words of encouragement to him and to the congregation. Dr.. Christian was followed by the Rev. Sam Campbell of the Second Baptist church, who spoke on behalf of the other Baptist churches of the city. His address was helpful and ap- preciative. To these addresses of welcome J. o. Johnson, who is chairman of the Board of Dea- cons of the Pulaski e Heights church, who responded, assured
 those present of the apprecia- tion of the kind words of en- couragement and uplift.
 The pastor, the last speaker
 of the evening, pledged his loyal
 support to the work, and ex- pressed his thanks for the court
 esies which have been shown
 him and for the assurance of the
 hearty cooperation which had
 been expressed by those pres lent. After the singing of a hymn the audience retired to the (church parlors, where refresh |ments were served. The Rev.
 and Mrs. Garrott are now locat- led in their new home at 224 North Pine Street.

Why Buy At Home.

Almost anyone can give one o1 more good and sufficient reasons for buying what he wants and can pay for at home, and from his local merchants, but it is not often that one can recallas many reasons, and state them as suc- cintly and cogently, as did a gen. tleman in a neighboring city, who, when asked his reason for buying at home said: q buy at home Because my interests are here.
 Because the community that is good enough for me to live in lis good enough for me to buy in.
 Because I believe in transact
 
 ing business with my friends.
 Because I want to see the goods.
 Because I want to get what buy when l pay for it.
 Because every dollar I spend at home stays at home, and works for the welfare of the town.
 Because the man I buy from stands back of the goods.
 Because I sell what l produce here at home.
 Because the man l buy from pays his part of the town, coun' ty and state taxes.
 Because the man l buy from gives value received always.
 Because the man l buy from helps support my church, my lodge, my home.
 Because when ill-luck, mis- fortune or bereavement comes, the man l buy from is here with his kindly greeting, his words of cheer, and his pocketbook, if need be-"
 In other words, and leaving all other considerations aside, en- frightened selfishness, the iden- tical enlightened selfishness that causes a public official to give his best and most assiduous ser vices to his constituents, should cause a man to buy at home, be, cause his neighbors are his con- 'stituents and patrons in the lar.
