 Benton county is again in mix up. It seems that when Benton county sued the defunct Bank of Rogers for s50,000, of the county funds County Judge Smith hired the legal services of Rice X Dixon, W. s.

Claud is drawing his pay to protect the peo- pie who elected him to office, and it looks to us he would proceed to stop the pay of the lawyers employed to collect the money the Bank of Rogers owes the county, and save at least 8 ,000 in fees to the county. It looks like Judge Smith may think Claud not big enough lawyer to protect the county properly, but here is where Claud has the chance to show him, and if he don't he does not need to come honeying around the taxpayers of this county anymore. for they will never send him to congress from this district or vote for him for any other office.

it on the table by the bedside. He
seemed to feel again the tingle of

When he had undressed he sat an

Korean MARRIAGES.

Marriages between widows and
bachelors are very much in favor il
Korea because not nearly SO much
money is required from the bridegroom
as in the case of his marriage with a
young girl The impecunious bride
groom is scorned by the parents of the
girl and he is also unable to pay for
the elaborate wedding ceremonies
which must take place. All of this he
escapes by running off with a widow.
1t happens in Korea, as in other coun-
tries, that the impecunious bachelor
is often more desirable from every
point Of view but a mercenary one
than the well to do member of the
community. Consequently, the widow
has way of attaching a handsome
young husband to herself that might
