Substantial Compensation.

A correspondent writes that a
Russian commander took a horse he
liked from a German farmer and re-
marked that, to prove the Russians
were not so black as painted, he
would pay him for it. Thereupon he
handed the farmer a ruble (51 cents)
which later proved to have been out
of circulation far many years.

Sanford Replies to BradSher.
Marmaduke, Ark, Feb. II, 191

Marmaduke, Ark, Feb. IL, 1915.
AS w. C. Bradsher has denied
there being any destitute condition
in this end of the county, l ask that
further investigation be made. /
have canvassed Marmaduke today
and this is the report | have; One
supply house reports it has not col
iected soc on the dollar on last year
accounts. When asked if he could
carry those old accounts and furnish
these people again and help them buy
corn, he said, no. Likewise, the 9TH
er two large supply stores say they
have just made half collections and
gave the same answer in regard to
carrying the people over this year.
Got the same answer from bankers of
Marmaduke. The doctors report their
collections at soc on the dollar and
less and some of them say they are
having to charge the accounts now
of men in supposedly sood circum-
stances. Mr.. Bradsher says there
has been no appeals made for help.
One of the justices of the peace said
today that two men with families
from our neighborhood came to him
last Monday and asked him to write
up a petition to the county judge
and he advised them to go to the
Judge in person. Church people
there said that there had been sew
eral appeals made for help, and yet
Mr.. Bradsher has heard no complaint.
Where has he been? There has been
nothing else talked of on the streets
of Marmaduke hardly for the past
three months. But he has been at
Halliday; that is a prosperous neigh
borhood. Ask the tax collector. l
have asked every one l met today
about the corn and | have heard of
two out of 25 that have corn enough
to do them and to spare and several
with none at all. But these are peo-
pie that manage badly, especially in
time of drouth. Now there is very
little corn through this drouth
stricken country. Who will buy sew
eral carloads of corn and sell it to-
these farmers on credit, that are al
ready behind on last years accounts?
The merchants say they can't do it,
The bankers say they can't do it,
Then what kind Of crop will be
made and how much will the country
be prospecting next fall. I cannot
take it on myself to make house
to house canvass, but if there is an
investigation committee sent out the
people of Greene county will find
that have not exaggerated the mat
ter. That is what ! ask-that an in
vestigation be made. Don't stop at
what Claud Bradsher says. There
are other men who have heard of
these conditions. Glands idea of des-
4titution is that as long as man has
: COW or a horse he is not destitute,
no matter if it is under mortgage
for all it is worth. The supply stores
people told me that they had turned
downed several good men already

Pisg Ford Bridge
Washed Away
NEW BRIDGE AT THIS FORD
TO BE LARGEST in
COUNTY.

The old Pigg Ford bridge over
Big River was built in 1901, at
an approximate cost of $4,000.
Last Friday evening, while the
torrents of the flood were some
four or five feet over the bridge,
one of the abutements gave way
and the bridge went singing
down the river. The County
Court will convene Monday to
consider bids for the construc-
ton of a new bridge. The new
bridge will be twelve feet high
er and 200 feet longer than the
old bridge. The County Court,
Contractor Ed Hawn and Engi-
neer Francisco viewed the wreck
age of the old bridge Tuesday.

AMATEUR, AND PROFES-
SIONAL ORCHESTRAS
ORGANIZED

Mrs. Eisenberg-Beard and Mr.
Lawrence Smith of this city
have recently organized an anna.
teur Orchestra here consisting
of Is pieces; also a professional
Orchestra which will render
some good music and, no doubt
will be fully able to please the
most exacting lover of high class
professional music. The anna
teur Orchestra will be used in
conjunction with Mrs. Eisen-
berg-Beard's Glee Club and will
assist in rendering various Sc
lections, operas, etc. The next
meeting will be held in Mrs,
Eisenberg Boards Studio in
Doss Addition, which has been
especially arranged and furnish
ed for the use of her classes in
music and the auxiliary accom-
paniments which may be added
as occasion demands.
Mr.. Smith, who will assist
Mrs. Eisenberg-Beard in this
work, has been connected with
and has conducted some of the
largest orchestras in the South
for several years prior to coming
here.
1t is to be hoped that these
organizations will be very sue
cessful and a valuable adjunct
to the entertainments of the
town and a success from every
point Of view for the promoters.

TIE House Z Lice In
By William H. Pohlman

The house live in has grown DID,
Some parts Of it are in decay;
The thatch upon the roof, once brown,
Is now all turning gray,
Light through the window panes is dim,
So that cannot clearly see;
The new ones now have outside
Have been wonderous help to me-
The grinders from the kitchen gone
| miss their presence every day;
Some others that l once put in
Are of no service anyway.
The unseen noisless engines beat
That has not ceased for eighty years.
Is still at work. but slower now
It's action to my sense appears;
And the warm liquid that it sends
Through the old house to heat its walls
Grows cold round about the place
Black winters whitening snowflake falls
Though have had the house repaired,
Sometimes outside, and oft within
Yet as the silent years roll on,
feel the walls are growing thin.
Twill grieve me much to leave the place;
Each nook and corner revere;
Sweet joyous days I've spent therein
Through many bright glad, golden year.
To me, it's walls are sacred, too;
Within them | have suffered long:
But God has been my strength and stay;
In weakness He has made me strong.
And He has come and "supped with me-
And soothed my sorrow, eased my pain.
And made the place like "Bethanys home"
Bright with restored life again
Soon this old house shall be dissolved;
Not lost but only laid away;
And shall then be taken home
In Fathers inner rooms to stay
Till the whole family shall meet
From every land beneathsthe sky,
And this fra house be built anew
For me once more to occupy;
tenant in changeess home
No windows dim and no decay
No sorrow, sickness and no DEATH
For former things have passed away"

Old Els ia te Being
Surveyed

Several tracts of land lying in
this and Ste. Genevieve counties,
and known as the Peunet Estate,
are being surveyed by Mr.. VIM.
Blackledge of Avon. These
tracts belong to the heirs but
have never been partitioned and
set off separately. Much of
these lands are thought to be
underlaid with large quantities
of mineral, and nearly all of it
is good productive land. The
entire estate is valued at several
thousand dollars, and it appears
very probable that the estate
will be adjusted and perhaps di-
vided out among the heirs. The
parents or predecessors were of
an old French family, which mi
grated to this country from the
Kingdom of France several gen
erations ago.
So scattered and extensive
are the tracts of this estate that
it will require several days to
survey and make a topographic
al map of the vast estate.

CHAUTAUQUA CONTRACT
SIGNED

Superintendent Bagby of the
Keith-Vawter Chautauqua Co.
of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, succeed
ed in enlisting nearly the entire
citizenship of this city in a
united effort to make next years
Chautauqua a success.
Most all the leading citizens
of the town signed the pledge
that was necessary to have the
company come here next year,
and there appears no room for
doubt of it's success next year,
as it appears evident that there
is a unanimous move among the
people to see that it is strik-
ing success, and when the popu-
lation act in unison there is no
reason for failure to succeed,
barring reverses of nature or
causes beyond human control.
The Chautauqua this season
was not very successful, owing
to the lack Of interest principal
ly due to the inclement weather
at the time of the Chautaudua.
Next year we hope to be favored
with ideal weather., which al
ways is a. determining factor in
the success of any enterprise.

COLLEGE OPENS OCT. 4


DR.. McCurdy, President of
Carleton College, informed a
Times reporter that the opening
of Carleton would, be October A,
instead of September as hereto
fore. In this way the College
can make a very strong appeal
to the rural teachers, whose
schools close early in the spring
and will afford them a splendid
opportunity to take a full Sem
ester in college training.
