 The sad report reached here about nine o'clock Wednesday morning of the death of Mrs. w. W. Lair, of Magazine, Ark. She has living here three sons and one daughter. Messrs. H. G., J. w., and A. J. Lair, left at once to attend the funeral. The sorrowing ones have our deepest sympathy.

The best in four or five years. 5"
 Say Johnson Bros: We are certainly well pleased with the business of the past year. Col lections fine. We haven a thing to kick on. 1 have never seen anything more promising than for the year 1913 to be great success.
 H. c. Lair and Peete Bros. say business with them has been perfectly satisfactory. Under circumstances, considering the overflow, late crops and worms in this section, we cant tell where so much business came from, but we have had more saan we expected and can say, 'Hurrah for the old year..'
