Cotton Thieves Are Nix

]. r. McGehee. deputy consta-
BILE at White Oak was called
Monday morning to the Wallace

supposed cotton thieves. When
the pickers went to work Mon
day morning a large hole in the
cotton easily caused them to be-

at work but upon investigation it
was found that some boys had
slept in the pen and as the night
was cold they had burrowed into
the cotton and leaving hurriedly
the next morning failed to fill
the hole.
This is the first cotton thief
we have heard Of this year and be-
lieve it the last. Cotton thieves

Tie Judge Surprised

On Thursday the lSt at Ill
O'Clock a. m. at the suggestion
of the local bar and officers of
the county, the court suspended
business until l o'clock p. m.
The reason of this was that the
lawyers and county officials had
a little surprise for Judge Evans
whose term of service of q years
on the bench as Judge of the 18th
Judicial Circuit was drawing to
a close.
On motion, former county Judge
G. w. Barham was called to the
chair. On taking the chair by
the side of Judge Evans, he ask
ed if the members of the bar had
anything to bring before the
meeting. This brought the Hon.
T. A. Pettigrew to his feet and
in an eloquent speech. sometimes
full of pathos and sometimes in
a lighter vein, he happily review
ed his honor's long service on the
bench, declaring he was one of the
ablest judges in the state, always
being fair and impartial in his rul-
ings, assuring him that on his re-,
tirement the best wishes of bar,
the county officers and the people
of the 18th Judicial District would
follow him. At the close of his
splendid address, Mr.. Pettigrew
presented to Judge Evans 10 vol
umes. of the latest reports of the
supreme court of the state,a pre-
sent from the local bar and the
county officials. Then attorneys
w. H. Neal of Van Buren,, G. 0.
Patterson of Clarksville, Col.
Rhine of Paris, and Pros. Atty
Benson madeappropriate remarks
and Hon. VIM. Fletcher was call
ed upon but declined on account
of shortness of the time. Then
Judge Evans taken completely
by surprise, and filled with
emotion, in a brief and happy
speech thanked the donors for
the gift and their expression of
friendship. assuring them that
he should always remember them
as a precious momento of years
gone by, and alluding to those
members of the bar who were
present when he held his first
t erm at Ozark q years
ago, now deceased or scattered
far apart. He became too full
for utterance. He turned and
grasped Judge Barham by the
hand when the large audience
pressed forward, many with tears
in their eyes and shook his hand
with many expressions of their
esteem. Such a scene was never
witnessed in the Ozark court
house before.

VOs sssasAssss OVsssbsy Wn
Our Franklin County Fair
closed yesterday afternoon and
to say that it was a success is to
state it very mildly.
The people responded to the
call generously and the display
of the products of our fields,
gardens, orchards vineyards,
poultry yards and apiaries was
a sight to make the heart of
every citizen of the old county
feel proud indeed. We always
reap what we SOW and the more
careful cultivation of crops,
grown from we'll selected seed.
the care shown in the preser-
walton of the resulting specimens

serving the delicious but perish
able products of the garden and
orchard. 20 to show us that we
are reaping the harvest of the
investment we made in a County
Demonstrate and in the insitu-
ton of our canning clubs.
knowledge is power and we
are getting always greater
knowledge of the possibilities of
our wonderful country.
We would have been glad for
every citizen of the county to
have seen the endless variety of
food products and the splendid
showing of grains and hay of
many kinds that were exhibited.
Then. too, we were pleased with
the extremely tasteful manner
in which the displays were ar
ranged. We have seen some of
the best agricultural displays
that are put on at several of our
own state fairs and have never
seen some of those shown here
greatly excelled.
In the livestock department
were shown some of the best
horses, cattle and hogs in the
county. The horse exhibit was
q very creditable one. but in the
hog and cattle departments there
were nothing like the num-
ber of individuals shown that
ought to have been. Those
shown were of a high class but
had our farmers taken the trouble
to bring in their stock we could
easily have had many times the
number on show.
Among the different classes of
horses shown we noticed some as
good individuals as could be
found in such famous horse states
as Missouri and Kentucky but
the general average was not up
to what it should have been nor
what it could be more prOfitably
made. What cattle there were
were uniformly good. The
hogs too. were averaged fair
with an entra individual or two.
There is room for improvement
here.
In the horse department the
general average was far from
what it should have been. While,
a. we remarked there were some
extra good horses shown the
greater number lacked breeding
or showed to be of mongrel blood.
There was too much evidence of
careless in crossing types; not
enough pains have been taken to
establish the recognized COM
mercial classes, but progress has
been made along this line and a
few individual light harness.
saddle ane draft youngsters were
up to the mark.

ness stallion. 1st prize.

At The NOVELTY,

The Novelty offers a well balanced
bill of fun and music this week. NO
headliner attractions and no act be-
low the lines. The Ballos. Mexican
serenaders. use banjos in their act,
just to make folks happy. Theodore
Tenney. ventr!!cSE1st and whistler, has
class as well as novelty in his acts.
The audience showed its appreciation
Of Tenney. Ray Belmont sings and
Matte Harl plays the piano for him.
She looks a little like Venus de Milo
and dresses lot like her. The aerial
act by the Lowe company starts in a
humdrum way and ends with a thrill
The drama playlet by one Carroll, was
too sad for vaudeville. but just right
for stock company work.
The audience, the Judge and jury
and court of last resort on all shows,
the audience placed a big o. Y. IN the
Novelty bill for this week and the
critic thinks the audience is just about
right.

AT THE 0RPHEUM.

A well rounded program OF five
high class vaudeville acts is presented
at the Orpheum theater for the first
three days Of the week. All Of the
numbers are original and three espec-
tally attract much attention.
Valerie Beck and her Rosebuds is
the first bill on the program. This
act has five pretty girls in 1t, all good
singers and dancers. The scenery is
special, the costumes attractive, the
girls good looking and Miss Beck has
an excellent voice, all Of which makes
the tab show popular. At the close,
the girls indulge in a SNOWFALL fight
with the audience, the balls being re-
turned with al much vigor as they are
sent.
Lowry and Prince put on a singing
and dancing number which appeals
to the average audience. The act is
clever and the singing, that Of Lowry
in particular, was fair.
The Cahil1 sisters, double trapeze
artists. are high class. They do sew
eral difficult stunts on the double
trapeze and the act Is out OF the or
dinary.
Elwood and Snow have an excellent
ventriloqufst act. The two refrain
from any movement of the lips when
having the dummies talk or sing.
The last act, the 'Follies of Vaude-
ville,'' was AZ number consisting of
singing, dancing, comedy and bicycle
riding. Palfrey, Barton and Brown
are in the act. Two dances. Span
ish fandango and a Scotch highland
fling, were good. This may be termed
a riot act; it is fast from start to fin-
ish and drew much Of the applause
dealt out literally. last night.
One good reel Of pictures began the
program. Music by the Orpheum or
chestra was played throughout the
show. s. ].
