This bill was opposed by the railroad
companies and its onstitutionality
was attacked by their attorneys at a
hearing before the Governor at which
veto was asked.
Another bill which became a law by
the signature of the Governor was the
"newsboy bill" This changes the age
limit at which boys may sell newspa-
pers on the street from IL to 10 years,
and provides that no boy under 10 nor
girl under 16 may sell papers or the
like on any street in city of 10000

Howard county, providing a plan by
which the clerk of the court should
make an index of the deeds and mort
sages recorded in his Office. The fea-
lure objected to by the Governor was
provision that the excess fees col
ected by the clerk should be paid
bver to the Commissioners of the coun-
" instead Of to the Treasurer Of the
tate, which he pointed out was clear
' unconstitutional.

 Dear Editor: This comes to inform the many readers of your paper of the death and funeral of Mrs Bessie F. Harrison. wife of Grand Master j l. Harrison of the F. X A. M of Arkan- sas, who passed away on the 9th inst in Marshal. Texas, where she under went an operation on the l7th of No Vember
 Sister Harrison had been lingering for the past two years, hence she de cided in the early part of Octobe, that she desired to undergo an opera tion in quest of better health thereaf- ter. Accordingly she selected Marshal, Texas. as the place, and at her request Dr. John A. Kinney of Tuskegee Ala :, one of the most reputable surgeons of this country, was retained to perform the operation. This was done on the l7th of November and to say the least it was most successful indeed
 She had about completely recovered from the operation. and was able to be up and about the hospital wherever she desired to go. So completely was the recovery from the operation that even the time had been fixed for her return to home and loved ones. Prof Harrison remained with her during the operation, and up to the 18th of No vember when at her request and per suasion, he left for Dermott to per form a duty assigned him by the South Arkansas Conference of the A. M F. Church in session at that place.
 Before leaving, however, sister liar rison decided that she wanted to re turn nome about tha 10th Of the month. accordingly th4, date was set for him to come back ta Texas for her. She wrote three letters after he left in her own handwrte. and every day either a letter or telephone message went forward to her. However so rap i'd was her improvement that on Fri day Dec 4th, Mrs Harrison wrote her husband that she wanted to come home earlier than the previous time set and wanted him to come for her on the sth of Dec.
