The oldest man in the Fortietf General Assembly is J. Monroe Smith. For 70 years he has re- sided on the same farm in Union county and during that time has served in numerous local offices and has been a member of the legislature six times. His first public office was marshal of Fl Dorado. Later he served as sher- if of Union county two terms and clerk of the Circuit Court one term. He was also constable of Fl Dorado township.
 In 1883 MT. Smith Was appoint ed sergeant-at- arms in the legisla- ture. Ten years later he was cleo ted to the house. He was re- elected in 1895. In 1897 he was elected to the Senate. In 1907 he was again appointed sergeant-at- arms in the Senate. In 1913 he was elected to the Senate a sec ond time.
 He was the father of the famous Smith railroad bll, which passed the legislature in 1897. It pro- vIded that the state should give 10000 acres of state land per mile to a company that should build a railroad to compete with the Iron Mountain between the northern and southern boundaries of the state The road was never com pleted and the land ultimately re- deemed by the owners.
 In the present session Senator Smith was a candidate for presi- dent of the body. He has intro duced bill to compensate state eonvicts or their families out of the products of their labor for the state He introduced the same bill in 1913. The bill passed the Senate, but failed in the house. Senator Smith has also introduced bill to abolish the State Land Commission.
 Senator Smith is war veteran He was made a prisoner at ths battle of Gettysburg. After tn close of the war he returned to the Union county farm, where he was reared and except for the time when his official duties kept him away, he has lived there since Arkansas Gazette, Wednesday, Jan. 2O.s
