Delayed Marriage License Issued.

A marriage license was issued this morning to Clinton Carpenter, aged is, and Agnes Bragdon, aged r. both of Bethel, Ok. This li- cense was applied for on July i4, but was not issued at that time be- cause the young man did not have an affidavit from his own parents and those of the girl that the writ ten consents which he brought were bona fide. These affidavits ar rived today and the license was put on record forthwith. w. L. Parker, county clerk, states that this rule will be rigidly enforced, and that parties under legal age will have to have a statement of consent, also to their age, sworn to by the parents before a notary public.

|[ARVA OF FLIES FATAL TO CHILDREN

Toxarkana, July 29.-The follow ;nc snecial to the Little Rock Ga

 ,ncb local interest by reason of iho fact there were recently many
 nsos of infantile paralysis in Tex
 arNa SS demonstration of his theory ,hot infantile paralysis was origi-

 ,,oe of the fly, was presented to tbe st. Louis Medical Society by Dr. W. Saunders, who has been
 bolned in his investigations by Dr. " K Wisdom of DeQueen, Ark.
 "The theory, which was originat-
 od hv pr. Saunders and first ad-
 vanced by him two months ago, was
 accepted by many physicians who heard him.
 "Tt was the elimination of months
 of natient research conducted at tbe Methesda Founding Home and the explanations of the physician as he demonstrated his theory were dramatic in the extreme.
 "A monkey, a Plymouth Rock chicken, several guinea pigs and three rabbits were used to demon strate the deadly effect of the lar vac that he charged with responsi- hilitv for the deadly disease that has banled medical skill for more than 200 years.
 The monkey, which died while Dr. Saunders was featuring, exhib- fled all of the symptoms of the dis ease that has caused the death of so many children. The death strug- gles of the animal, while pathetic in the extreme, may be the means of saving many lives.
 pr Saunder first called atten- ton 10 the fact that infantile pa ralysis. which the doctors speak of
 as polomyelitis. was prevalent only in the insect season, and was never seen in this latitude in winter months"

BIG PICNIC AT COVE
Most Successful Event of Kind Ever Pulled Off in TOwn-Large Crowd
 and Good Program.

Several very successful picnics have been held in Cove during the last seven or eight years, but all former efforts in that line were en- tirely eclipsed last Saturday. The attendance was much larger, the program of entertainment was bet ter in every respect, and the gen. eral interest taken by our home people was greater than ever be- fore. One of the pleasing features of the occasion was the attendance of a large number of visitors from Mena and other towns up and down the road, and, in fact, it was more like a reunion of old friends and acquaintances than an ordinary picnic. Another gratifying feature of the day was the fact that more coin of the realm than usual seemed 10 be in circulation, not only among | the concessions on the grounds, but in the stores in town. Everybody Idid business and everybody made some money. One of the main things that helped make the picnic success was a gentle shower of rain that fell early in the morning, not heavy enough to ruin any Sun day clothes. but just enough to lay the dust and cool the air nicely.
 The morning part of the program was covered by a red hot ball game between the Watson, Ok, team, and the Boy Scouts of Mena, which re- suited in a score of 6 to in favor of the Scouts. During the after noon there was a continual per- formance, and it required such a hustler as Tom Dempsey, one of the committeeman, to pull the program through. The crowd was called to the speakers stand at D. m. by the home band, and after listening to some good music the farmer part of the crowd was entertained for about an hour by Prof. J. H. Tull, agricultural agent for the Kansas | City Southern Railroad Company, who took peanut culture for his subject, and the able manner in which he handled the topic showed that he was perfectly familiar with the peanut proposition from the planting period to the marketing end of it. Hon. A. E. Wear, the we'll known agriculturist, had also promised to be present and deliver an address. but for some reason he did not come. After MT. Tull's ad- dress there was more music by the band, followed by an old fiddler's contest. which was won by J. w. Turner. Then followed in quick succession a colt show. the first prize being won by l. A. Dunn, sec ond by n. w. Barton, third by C. NJ. Houncil: a wheelbarrow race won by Miss Gladys Woodell; free-for- all foot race. won by J. c. Goodman fat mans race, won by Reed Weav- CT: sack race. won by Buster l Woodel. and another exciting ball game between the home team and Ia Mena nine, which resulted in a score of l6 to 8 in favor of Cove.
 Not a single disturbance or accl- dent occurred to mar the pleasure and success of the occasion, and 1t will long be remembered as the red-letter picnic day of Cove.
