Why Some Towns Grow.

There is newspaper in Colorado called the Sun, and it shines for Ridge way.
 It has an editor who is the possessor of horse-sense.
 Horse-sense goes with observing eyes and head apparatus that thinks.
 He has written sermonette on "why some towns grow" He rang the bell.
 There's a reason "why they grow" and he tells it.
 One reason is, there are men of push and energy in the town who are not afraid to spend their time and money to push their town along. They are not drawbacks, moss-covered.
 They erect substantial buildings; establish factories; secure railroads; advocate and carry along public inn provements. They do more. They induce people to locate in their city.
 How" you ask. They tell of the advantages of this city. They write about those advantages in every letter. They send newspapers to all whom they think they can get to visit this city. When anyone visits their city they extend the glad hand, and not the icy-cold shoulder.
 They win him; and he locates.
 It is enterprise and every one pull ing together, according to this Col orado man afflicted with horse-sense and observing eyes, that make a progressive town.

Brundidge was merci- less in his denunciation of the record of Senator Davis, declaring that he was not running against Davis but mere ly to fill a vancancy; that Senator Davis had devoted himself to his law practice and other private business and had seldom answered a roll call In his opening campaign speech for the governorship the other day, MT. Brun- didge is quoted as having lauded the record of the late Senator to the skies. Under the circumstances, it looks like MT.

impression cannot escape. His advice is good. He says at your own freside talk up your own town. Wherever you go let your voice and your influence be felt Do it intelligently. Inform yourself. Have the facts and figures at your finger tips.
 A smile is better than frown. Wear the smile that never comes off when you come in contact with friends.
 Avoid words of unpleasant ref erences to things that do not exactly suit you, and do not particularly con- cern you.
 Never mind the kickers; they are seldom builders. It is easy to destroy it is difficult to construct.

 Do not be brusque or ugly.
 Thoughtless words and ice-water- vein hospitality often turns a good mans influence away from your city. It may even drive him away. Be intelligent; be catholic in spirit; be generous. View the rising, and not the setting sun. Be progressive.

We Don't Vouch for All of This Story

Uncle Tom Ellison of Walnut, one of the most unique, conspicuous and well known local characters that ever lived, anytime, anywhere, accompanied by his 16-year old son, John, were here Monday attending county court. Uncle Tom is 93 years old and is doubtless the oldest man in Newton county. He and his son made the round trip from Walnut to Jasper in a chariot drawn by young burro, three feet in height, which attracted the attention of his legions of friends while en route, who greeted him with shouts of joy and made the rough places in the highway smooth and soft with wreaths of wild flowers. He celebrated his 85th birth day on his ranch by going to the forest and cutting the timber and splitting 200 rails. When he was 84 years of age he carried the mail from Jasper to Swain-making the round trip of 40 miles, 6 times each week-and slept in a barn loft on pile of hay, during the entire year. After he had made his round trip of 40 miles he stood on one foot in the door of the Jasper postoffice building, his 84th birthday, and placed the other foot flat upon the top of the casing overhead, with so much ease that it would have made boneless man turn green with envy. Uncle Tom was born and reared in Vinton county, Ohio, wheress he won the cham pionship, foot racing and prize fight ing. He came to Springfield, Mo-, 72 years ago and lost his first foot race. 7l years ago he came to Newton coun- ty, Ark, where his residence has been continuous.
 Uncle Tom has been married three times and is the father of 50 children, his youngest child being Il years of age. Uncle Tom was minister of the gospel for number of years; but sub, sequently quit preaching and carried the mail until three years ago. Dur. ing the last decade that Uncle Tom carried the mail he acquired the habit of swearing. He swore when awake while asleep and was a most profane dreamer. He quit swearing three years ago, and now his neighbors are anticipating the Millennial dawn. = Jasper Nugget.

ROAD ENGINEER |S
 SELECTED BY DYE
E. A. KINGSLEY OF LITTLE ROCK WILL FILL IMPORTANT NEW
 POSITION.
HAS HAD WIDE EXPERIENCE
Has Made a Reputation in Highway Construction and Was Highly
 Recommended.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-E. A. Kingsley of this city has been named state highway en- g1neer of Arkansas.
 MT. Kingsley was recommended for the place by officials in Little Rock, Pulaski county. and Eastern states and was chosen over many other appli- cants.
 In appointing MT. Kingsley to the office, Commissioner Dye instructed him to close his present affairs as quickly as possible that he may as sume his new duties. He also instruct ed him to appoint his assistant at once and to call a meeting with Prof. J, J. Knoch, head of the civil engi- neering department of the University Of Arkansas, at an early date to or ganize the engineering department of the State Highway Commission.
 MT. Kingsley is a native of Indian apolis, Ind, and after completing a course in the public schools there, graduated as a civil engineer from Perdue University at Lafayette, Ind, in 1893. Immediately after his gradu- ation he served in the engineering corps of the city of Indianapolis and in 1895 entered railroad engineering service with the Great Northern rail- road at St. Paul. Later he went to the Colorado Fuel anl Iron Company at Denver and finally with the Chica- so, Rock Island and Pacific at Little Rock.

He served the city seven years in all, retiring two years ago to en- gage in private practice. Since that time he has been consulting engineer for Pulaski county and has done much municipal road engineering in Little Rock and in other portions of the state.

PROBABLY the most telling blow thus far struck in the campaign for the Democratic nomination for the short term as governor has been made by the Kensett Keynote, paper published in White county, the home county of Mr. Brundidge. The Keynote con- cludes lengthy editorial on the record of MT. Brundidge by saying that the editor is not acquainted with Judge Hays, but that he is acquainted with MT. Brundidge, therefore the Keynote will support Judge Hays.

Murder Goes Unayenged

After six months of dilly-dallying,
the military court named by General
Huerta to investigate the death of
Francisco I. Madero and Jose Pine
Suarez has returned verdict that the
president and vice president of Mexico
were killed in lawful manner.
Madero and Suarez were slain after
their overthrow by Huerta and Felix
Diaz. Two stories of the affair were
circulated, one that they had at
tempted to escape and were shot
down, and the other that they were
slain in melee following an effort
made to rescue them by band of
their partisans. Neither story is be-
lieved today.
Maj. Francisco Cardenas was in
command of the escort which was to
convey Madero and Suarez from the
palace to the penitentiary. He was the
chief witness before the military
court, and the findings we're based
principally upon his evidence. Judges
and witnesses, all were Huerta par
tisans. The investigation itself was a
mockery.
Perez Romero, a brother-in-law of
President Madero, declares that Ma
jor Cardenas has frequently boasted
that he himself killed Madero, and yet
he has never been taken into custody
Senior Romero further says reliable
evidence goes to show that both Ma
dero and Suarez were murdered be-
fore they ever left the palace, anc
that the stories of flight or attempted
rescue were concocted only to clear
the skirts of those really guilty.
The verdict of the military court
will not strengthen Huerta. Rather il
will be considered as proof that the
provisional president himself is re-
sponsible for the deaths of Madero
and Suarez.
