MRS. J. f. BELL DEAD
 AFTER LONG ILLNESS
REMAINS CARRIED TO LONOKE TODAY FOR INTERVIEW AT
 THAT PLACE.

Mrs. Anna N. Bell, wife of pr. J. R. Bell of this city, died at the home of her husband on Duncan street last night at 8:45 of congestion of the lungs, after an illness of only few days. She had been an invalid, how ever, for several years. The funeral services were held at the family resi- 'dence this morning at 10 o'clock by Rev. Otto Wilmington, pastor of the First Baptist church of this city. The remains were carried to Lonoke this morning for interment.
 Mrs. Bell was born in Lonoke coun- ty, July 19, 1872, and was a niece of Tex Governor James P Eagle. She was married to Dr. Bell at Lonoke Decem-
 Der 19, 1894. Besides her husband only one daughter survives her, Miss FZana, who is attending Central Col Flege in this city. She was a member of the Baptist church and led a de, voted Christian life.
 Several relatives and friends of the family were here from Lonoke at the ttime of her death.

SUPERINTENDENT
 CAMPAIGNS ON
COUNTY SCHOOL WORK
SUPERVISOR BOND ASSISTING IN WORKING FOR COUNTY
 SUPERVISION IN STATE.

County superintendency campaigns are being waged in large number of kcounties throughout the state and the teachers in these counties are working earnestly to secure county supervision for the schools.
 At the last State Teachers Associa- tion held at Little Rock strong resolu- tions were passed favoring county su- perintendency in every county that had not yet adopted the supervision plan of work for it's schools.
 Fifteen counties of the state have already adopted supervision for their schools and the results in improved school conditions have been most sat |isfactory. County superintendency is no longer an experiment in the school work of the state, but on the other hand, it has been tried in a number of counties and has, without exception, proved it's worth in the way of up- building and bettering the school con- ditions.
 Supervisor of Rural Schools J. L. Bond of the department of education has been actively cooperating in a number of county superintendency campaigns, and he states that the teachers are enthusiastic in support of the supervision plan of work for the schools
 The department of education is strongly urging that every county in the state that has not already adopted superintendency should vote favorably on the question of county superintend- ency at the next annual school cleo tion. It is forward step in educa- .tional work and it should be only a question of short time when every county in the state will have a county Superintendent actively at work in inn proving the school conditions.

COMMITTEES FINISH
 ENROLLING BILLS
GOVERNOR YFTOES THREE
BILLS FOR PUBLICATION OF SU- PREME COURT REPORTS
 ARE SIGNED.

Little Rock, April 3.-The house and senate committees on enroll ed bills finished their work We'd
 The house and senate committees on enrolled bills finished their work We'd nesday afternoon and turned over to Governor Futrell several armsful of bills for his consideration. Wednes- day was the last day for him to pass 1 upon the bills, and he went over them carefully.
 All but three were signed, includ- 1 ing the two senate bills relating to the publication of supreme court reports. There had been some protest against the approval of the bill providing for the loaning of the plates from which the past reports had been printed to the Lawyers Cooperative Publishing Company of New York. Several years Iago the legislature provided for the publication of number of volumes of reports that were out of date, and the state retained the plates. In exchange for these plates, the state will get number of volumes of the reports without cost. The other bill signed provides for a new contract for print Ing the reports after the expiration of the present contract two years hence Should there be any objection to this act, the legislature of 1915 would have chance to amend or repeal it before lit becomes effective.
 The three bills vetoed are as fol- lows:
 House Bill by Bennett, to create l Bay Road and St. Francis River Road Improvement District. The governor Isays: "The bill designating the loca rtion of the public road in said pro- posed district at place contrary to the intentions of it's framers and there appears to be no power given in the bill giving the commissioners the right to change the said road"
 House Bill No. 265, requiring the Iron Mountain to erect depot on the White River Branch "at point where the public road crosses the said rail road between Williamson's Switch and Love Hollow, being a point four poles west of mile post No4S." The statement is made that the Railroad 1 Commission required the railroad com pany to provide box car freight and passenger station at Williamson's Switch, just mile from the point in dicated, and that this answers all re- quirements. Reports of the railroad company show the following annual receipts at Williamson's Switch Freight forwarded, S2S94; freight re- Iceived, $7O7; passenger receipts, ST. E24; total, $53.25. It is stated further that Love Hollow is an inaccessible point, and that there is not build ing of any kind there.
 House Bill No. 295, to create the Sans Slough Drainage District in Poinsett county, vetoed upon the re- quest of Senator Going and others, and the statement that it is possible to proceed with the organization of any district that may be desired there under the general drainage laws.
