BIG SINGING CONVENTION
Large Crowd Attends fieeting of
 Singing Association

The N03th Independence Sing ing Convention met at Lone Oak last Sunday, with the following classes present: Lone Oak, Mag ness and Mt. Carmel.
 Prof. Thomas Jones was chosen president pro tenn and J. D. Mar tin was elected secretary pro tenn
 The judges chosen were Charles Heflin, Reason Wells and Ed Travis. Mt. Carmel class won the banner for the best singing for the day.
 A. B. Duff was reelected as president for 1913.
 To say the singing was good, would be putting it in a very mild way. The day was a little disagree able, but a large concourse of peo- pie were on the ground. The house was packed and fully one half of the people could not get in the house. It was the general opinion of all present that 1913 will be the greatest year for good singing that the county has ever witnessed.
 The next meeting will be held at Oak Grove, one mile west of Magness, the second Sunday in July. It is probable that a three days convention will be held at some point in the county some time during the summer.

BUILD ANOTHER HOME
Reported That Odd Fellows Will
 Build Near Walnut Ridge

We have gotten 1t on the best authority that the Odd Fellows grand lodge will begin at once the erection of the Orphans Home on the big 400 acre farm, known as the Robbins place, just west of Walnut Ridge, which was donated for that purpose by the late A. w. Shirey, It is said the home at Batesville has been overflow ing" for more than a year and that is impossible to take care of the Odd Fellows orphans at that place, and for that reason the home will be erected here at once. The farm here is a very rich one and the home will be self-sustain- ing. The electric street car line will be extended from the Frisco tracks to the farm as soon as the home is completed Walnut Ridge Times.

CANDIDATES FOR
 GOVERNOR BUSY
At Least Three Aspirants Will Start The Gubernatorial
 Campaign This Week

Reports from Little Rock indi- cate that the campaign for govern or is beginning to show signs of activity, and before the end of the week at least two candidates are expected to be in Little Rock to arrange for the opening of their headquarters.
 The three candidates who have announced they will be in the race are S, Brundidge of Searcy, Geo. H. Hays of Camden and T. H. Nixon of Pine Bluff.
 . Former Congressman Brun- didge IS an experienced campaign CT, and in announcing his candi- dacy Saturday invited all compet- itors to meet him in joint debate in canvass of the counties for the nomination.
 Judge George Hays, announced his candidacy week ago. In his announcement he said he will be a candidate only for governor to fill the unexpired term of Senator Joe T. Robinson, aud that he will be a candidate for re eletion. His announcement indicated that he was not aspiring to the governor ship as a stepping stone to the United States senatorship.
 Mir. Brundidge, in his announce ment, said he is candidate for the office, and if elected, so long as he held the office 1t would never be used to elect either himself or anyone else to any other office.
 But l am not prepared to sell my birthright by promising any man or set of men that 1 will never be a candidate for any other office," he added. So far as this question is concerned, MT. Brun- didge IS willing to leave 1t to fut- ure conditions, he says.

VALUE OF CHARACTER

You may depend upon it, the only thing that will permanently bear you up is character. You will ever and evermore be- thrown back upon it. If it is not'there- you will be thrown back upon nothing at all. You may manage to get along when everything is moving smoothly with you; but in every pinch you are going to need character. It is one thing that will determine your real success in this world and your 1,etiny in another world.-Wes "p' od. ist. :

4 PARABLE OF POLITICS
Concerning Doings of One Jose
 phus, Former Idol

And 1t came to pass that there was one Josephus, mighty man in his own conceit, puffed up with vain imaginings; even from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head was he puffed up.
 And there was one Jeff, who's surname was Davis. a mighty man in the councils of the nation and great in the hearts of the people. And 1t came to pass that Jeff died and was gatherd to his fathers and there was a great vacancy in the councils of the nation. Then the wise men began to cast about for one worthy to wear the man. tie of the mighty fallen Jeff. Then JoSephus arose in his might and said, behold ME, 1 am the one to wear the mantle of the mighty Jeff, place 1t upon me; but the wise men said, not so fast Jose phus, let us go before the people, let us see who they want to wear the mantle of the fallen Jeff. Then Josephus became exceedingly wroth and waxed eloquent and said, the people know nothing about 1t, they are not competent to judge of these great things. Besides if the people are to be the judge the fine mantle of the fallen Jeff will not fall on me, place 1t on me now, 1 am the worthy one. But the wise men turned about and said, not so fast Josephus, there IS more than one man in the nation who is worthy to wear the mantle of the fallen Jeff Thou art beside myself, much ambition doth make thee mad. The people should be allowed to say who shall wear the mantle of the fallen Jeff, for they are the ones who placed 1t on him. Then Josephus turned him away weeping, and was sore afraid. And 1t came to pass that the wise men later rec0nsidered and said, Lo and behold Josephus, we have reconsidered these things and like myself we believe the people are incompetent and un- worthy to judge of these great things. Moreover we perceive of a truth, that if the people should be allowed to judge these things, thou Wouldst not wear the mantle of the fallen Jeff; we will place it on you now. So the wise men took the mantle and placed it on Josephus and behold, Josephus went his way rejoicing.
 Then 1t came to pass that when the people heard of these things which the wise men had done they were sorely aggrieved, and with one accord said, why did the wise men do these things, they knew that the people did not want the mantle of the fallen Jeff to fall on Josephus, and Josephus knew it, why should we be thus treated and be deprived of our rights? Then they with one accord cried out saying, Josephus may wear the mantle for a season, then we will see henceforth he shall wear it no more forever.-J. F. Johnson in the Cleavland County Herald.
