'+She was all niIdness; yet twas writ

 There's such a possibility of starting wooing all right or wrong! It is req sonabIe to suppose that his heart and thoughts have gone out to girl when he seeks her society exclusively All couples who WOO are not intended for mating. Hundreds of letters reach me from dtsgusted wives; many of them beWaiI the fact that they have made. bad marriages; their happiness is ru- ined for life, because they were tricked into matrimony by fraud; led to sup pose that they were wedding man of exemplary habits; that they had gain ed a true and loving mate
 Also, they declare that they would as. soon have jumped into the fire as to have become thess wife of a man having such a violent disposition had they but known it, though they kept company steadily for years. As a matter of fact, these women did know the disposition of these lovers. If they did not it was because they wiffuiIy blinded their eyes to his shortcomings. When lover begins to get wi1fulIy lax in his attentions to his sweetheart for instance, having no hesitation in breaking his engagements with her re- peated1y for no special reason, indif- ferent as to whether she likes it or not-he don't need to wear a sign to the effect that hell maks her a care- less husband.
 If his eyes are on every pretty girl whom they pass, regardless that her eyes are on him. she doesn't have to light a dozen candles of her imagina- no end of trouble after marriage by too much admiration for other women If he's always chewing cardamon seeds and cloves when he comes to see her, she ought to reason 1t out that he does not take them for his health. If he's on the street with her and leaves her for the ostensibIe pur- saloon and comes out wiping his lips, explaining that they didn't have his brand, she's a livery gIIlibIe young wo- man not to know that he's had a drink; and if he cannot refrain from repeating this operation at least a. cou- pie of times during their walk it's the irony of amusement to hear her com blaming in after years that it was the last thing she ever dreamed of that she was marrying g. drunkard to dis grace her and the children.
 ! So on the women write, naming all the faults in the calendar. Once in a while one of these husbands writes me trying to defend himself from the charges he knows his wife has made in a letter she has sent out to me. He says with blunt frankness: Its all moonshine that Mary didn't know. what sort of a fellow I was when we were going together. She knew came from a long line of ancestors who loved wo- men, not wisely, but too well; and with me money burned in ny pocket. It was come easy, go easy And as for my reason of stopping at saloons. she should have had sense enough to know I did not go there to pray" Girls should study their lovers care fully and raise what complaints they have to make before marriage or for ever hold their peace.

 was going with young man; be- gan to like him very much. Two weeks ago he went on his vacation and met a beautiful girl. He returned, but never calls any more He has written one letter, stating he could only love one girl; that wasn't me. Do you think that if he was a man he would have come to me person ally? I have plenty of other boys friends who would jump at the chance to take his place Please advise what I should do-

 Auvergne, Feb. 23.-A we'd ding took place Saturday morn ing on the Rock Island train be- tween Weldon and Tupelo, when Mir. Ed Taylor and Miss Velma Patrick of Tupelo were married by Rev. J. l..

Many New Pen Convicts.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Feb. 23.-The Arkansas penitentiary has been more populated than usual dur ing the past week, due to the accumulation of convicts from various counties. The peniten- tiary is used merely as a recelv- ing station, and as soon as a sufficient number is received, the convicts are sent on to the state farm as rock crushers. Four were received Sunday from Newport, and Monday a bunch of twenty were taken to the state farm to begin sentences.

County Candidates
 On The Hastings
Opened Speaking Campaign In Barren Township MOn-
 day.

The county candidates, and there is always a good crop of them when the time rolls around and primary day ap- breaches, opened their joint speaking campaign among the hospitable people of Barren Township Monday.
 Nearly all were present and Charles E. Smith presided, in- troducing the various speakers and holding them down to their allotted time. This was only necessary in a few cases, for the candidates as a rule made a very formal presentation of their claims upon their qualifi- cations and of course upon 'how much they would appreci- ate the office."
 There was some sparring be- tween the candidates for coun- ty judge, representative and sheriff, but personalities, be it said to the credit of all, were given little attention and the campaign promises to be on a higher plane than many in the past.
 Tuesday and Wednesday are are given to Glaize Township and the river being up, all these appointments have been made by train, except for the drives out from the railroad sta- tions.
 Thursday is assigned to Hick- ory Grove of Jefferson Town ship, Friday morning at Ray school house and that evening at Centerville, closing the week at Tuckerman Saturday, where the ladies of the Baptist church have prepared a big dinner for the candidates and crowd.
 For next week the appoint ments are as follows:
 Monday, March 2, Ingleside,
 Tuesday, March 3, Auvergne, 1O:3O a. m.
 Wednesday March 4, Weldon, 1O:30 a. m.
 Thursday, March 5, Eight Mile, 10:30 a. m.
 Friday, March 6, Beedeville, 10:30 a. m.
 Friday March 6, Gourd Neck, 7:3O p. m.

Transom Burglar At Capital.

Transom Burglar At Capital. Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Feb. 23.-Little Rock is afflicted with a transom burglar. This nimble individu- al is about the most active per son in the city, at the present time, and every morning the po- lice discover a broken lock and a rifled cash register to show where the culprit has been the night before. One place a night, if the results are sufficient to keep a fastidious person during the following day, is all this crook cares to visit. Transoms seem to be his hobby, and if a door was left open he would probably decline to enter if there was a transom handy. Saturday night the climber showed his reckless disregard for the Little Rock police by climbing over the transom of the cigar store of l.. Goodman, directly across the street from the Hotel Marion. Here $15 was secured and the door left open for the police to walk in in the morning.

Weeks School
 For Farmers
ExtentensiOn School of Depart. ment of Agriculture To Be
 Held Here Next Week.

It is with much pleasure that l announce that through the courtesy of the Dean and his corps of instructors of the Col lege of Agriculture at Fayette- vile, and through the hearty cooperation of the public spirit ed business men, we will con- duct a school of agriculture at Newport, March 2d to 7th, in elusive.
 Extension schools of the State College of Agriculture will be held in several counties of the State this season; a few were held last year. More than 600 farmers attended the school held at Judsonia, White county, January 12 to IA this year.
 During this School there will be one day known as Farm Dem- onstration Day, and I would like to see every man, woman, boy and girl in the county out that day.
 Our State College of Agricul- ture has a very able corps of in- structors. There are none bet ter in the South. But the State College is several miles distant. Very few farmers in this sec tion have been able to attend it. But now, for a short course, the State College comes to us.
 The Farmers Cooperative Demonstration Work and the State College of Agriculture are in most hearty accord, each in it's own sphere working to the same end-the betterment of agricultural conditions. Be- cause our county shows a spirit of progressiveness, this school comes to aid and intensity the work. We want you here. There will be no fees, no tuition, no calls for money. The live busi- ness men bear the expenses. Your personal expense will be the only cost to you.
 Prof. Martin Nelson, Dean of the College of Agriculture and Director of the State Experi- ment Station, and five of his most able instructors will be here for the entire six days. Other gentlemen prominent in

OLDFIELD VOTES
 FOR ALASKAN BILL,
Only Member of Arkansas Dele gation to Support Rail-
 road Appropriation.


 gressman w. A. Oldfeld of Ar kansas was the only member of the Arkansas congressional del- egation who voted for the pas sage of the Alaskan railroad bill appropriating $36,000,000 for the building of govern ment railroad in Alaska. The house passed the measure last night. The opponents to the Alaska bill charge that the $36,- OOO,OOO appropriated for the building of an Alaskan railroad is only a "starter." They say that before the road is complet- ed, it will require more funds than did the building of the Panama canal.
 President Wilson was a hear ty supporter of the Alaskan bill, although he is now strongly ur- ging a retrenchment in future appropriations by Congress. It is being noised about the cap- itol that the $25, 100000 appro- priation voted by the house to be apportioned among the va rious states for the building of good roads will be killed by the Senate. This is part of a plan to cut down the spending of money from the federal treasury that the Alaskan measure may go through. Now that Congress has appropriated $36,0O0,0O0 for the building of a government railroad in that territory and promised to cut out an item of 25 cents per capita for the peo- pie of the United States for the building of better roads, a howl is going up from the supporters of the good roads bill.
 OKLAHOMA WANTS PIPE
 LINE.
 As a result of the govern ment's taking hand in the building of an Alaskan railroad, the oil operators of Oklahoma are demanding that the govern ment expend ten or twelve mill lion dollars to be used in the building of an oil pipe line from Oklahoma to the Gulf of Mexi- co. Farmers in the Northwest are preparing to ask the govern ment to build grain elevators in that section of the country. Southern planters are demand ing that the government build cotton warehouses, and so on.
 Southern congressman who voted against the Alaskan rail- road proposition did so largely because they thought that if the government was going into the development business that ap- propriations should be made for the reclamation of swamp lands in the South, the building of roads and in improvement of rivers for navigation.
