court, Judge C. A. Mcmillan called a
prohibition election in the county for

SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS.

.'The Shepherd of the Hills, " Harold Bell Wrights novel, which, it is said, has been accorded the largest sale in the history of publishing in America, has been made play by Mr. Wright with the assistance of Elsbery W. Reynolds. It will be seen in this city at the Grand theatre, Fri day night, November 20.
 It tells a beautiful story of the Ozark mountains, story that holds the auditor by it's thrills from the be- ginning to the end. It is unique in misunderstanding, giving to the stage a somewhat new atmosphere. The beauty of the Ozark mountain region lends itself to some very ef- fective stage pictures, and Gaskill & MacVitty, the producers, are said to have given the play an exceptionally beautiful mounting.

TAXES FROM RETAIL
 TOBACCO DEALERS DUE
WAR REVENUE OF s3.2O MUST BE PAID BY ALL SELLING
 THE WEED.

Little Rock, Nov. 12.-The time has now arrived for every merchant of Arkansas who sells tobacco in any form to walk up to the office of In- ternal Revenue Collector Jack Walk CT and pay the $320 war revenue tax imposed upon him by a special act of congress for this privelege. This tax became due on November 1, at the rate of S4.80 per year, but as there is but eight months remaining before the end of the fiscal year in July, the dealers save-a bit because congress did not think to pass the bill four months sooner. As a heavy penalty is attached for failure to pay this tax, there are many who are sledding on thin ice without being aware of it.
 Another provision in this act that must be attended to is the placing of a stamp upon every conveyance, note, or piece of negotiable paper. The rate of taxation on this is 50 cents for the first $500, and an increase of 50 cents for each $500 thereafter. The stamps will not be delivered until November 15, but in the meantime the court officials and banks must keep account of all papers handled, and the taxes to be paid upon receipt of the stamps. The act places fine of $500 on the county official who permits pa- pers to be filed without the proper stamps, so there is little chance for absent -mindedness there, without a gentle reminder of the government re- quirements.

DAYS DEVELOPMENTS IN EUROPEAN WAR

The Germans, according to Petro- grad dispatches, have suffered more serlous defeat on the East Prussian border than the official statements have disclosed. Advices from Petro- grad today state that in. the recent fight there the Russians have cap tured more than 10000 prisoners, to- gether with quantities of guns and amunitions.
 The Russian advance in Poland, which has been at the rate of II miles daily, has astonished the mili- tary experts and it is not surpris- ing to hear that they are picking up many foot-sore and weary German straglers. This advance of horse, foot and artillery has continued for IS days.
 In Galicia the Russians continue to push the Austrians back, but the Austrians are having their revenge along the Servian border, which they threaten to cross in an endeavor to crush Servia, before Russia can come to her assistance.
 Once again the armies struggling for mastery in the coast territory along the North sea are the objects of the intensest interest in the Euro pean war, for it is in this region that the Germans are concentrating their great forces with the object of smashing through the allied lines to reach the French ports on the English channel Already the Germans have gained an important strategic point in the recapture of Dixmude. Their latest official announcement is of an extremely optimistic nature, for they report good progress around Ypres, the taking of Dixmude, with 800 pris- oners, the capture of the first line of the allied position west of Lange- marck, with 2,000 prisoners, the re- pulse of fierce counter-attacks by the British and the holding of the heights to the north of Armentiers, and a further advance to the southwest of Lille. The French official statement is meager. It says the Germans have continued their efforts without achiev- ing any new results.

MEMORIAL TRIBUTE

To George w. Hartje, by Green Grove lodge No. 107, F, and A. M., of Con- way, Arkansas.
 The subject of this encomium was born near Conway on February 25, 1851, joined this lodge shortly after arriving at his majority, died in Con- way, Arkansas, on November 6, 1914. after a lingering illness and was buried today by this lodge in his fam fly burying ground (known as Bart lett, Hartje and Bethel graveyard) with the simple, beautiful and i'm pressive ceremonies of the fraternity.
 Brother Hartje was honest and truthful and believed every one else to be the same until a different con- dition was found to exist. His fath- Ter was loyal member of this lodge and valuable citizen of Conway un- til his death, and deceased was a worthy representative of a noble sire. Tn life's affairs, Brother Hartie was plain, honest and sincere, espoused the cause of his friends with great zeal and loyalty, stood Tor what he believed to be right with answering devotion and did what he considered his duty without fear and without hope of reward He was an ardent believer in the doctrine of the "Gol- den Rule" and lived it in his daily life. To make people happy, to scat ter sunshine, to banish sorrow, grief and tears, to say and do things which would become pleasant memories, to replace cries by smiles and kind words, to make old earth an Eden where God and man may dwell to- gether in perfect harmony and to give his life for others, were the salient points of his character.
 Therefore, be it resolved, that
