It's queer little commonplace
tragedy that unfolded itself from
those letters during the divorce pro-
ceedings. Some of them might have
been from loving wife away on a
visit and expecting to return very
soon to an eagerly awaiting husband.
She speaks of the man she lives with
to the husband she deserted in the
most casual manner telling him how
good he is to her and in the next sem
tence says she will never be happy
again. She regulates his daily life in
a way that shows that she still looks
upon herself as his wife although she
is living with another man.
why do you suppose she wrote
those letters to you?" asked.
Because she is a creature of
moods" he answered. "a believe she
meant them when she wrote them.
She was a woman of two distinct ma

COUNTY DEBT
 IS REDUCED
Reduced $S,943.33 Since November
 First of Last Year.-A Fine Showing.

According to figures compiled in the County Clerks office, Little River county's indebtedness has been reduced $S,943.33 since November l, 1914. The ccmnty owed $27,29S.12 on November l, 1914, and on August Is, 1915, this had been reduced to $18,354. 79. Or this last named amount $11,859. % Is due on county general debt, and $6,- 495.79 is due on jail.
 This is a remarkably good showing for the finances of the county and cov- CTS period of little better than nine months of the term os Judge Len T. Jones, County Judge, to whom credit is due. It is ample proof that the fin- ancial affairs of the couny are in able and conservative hands. The above statement of figures were revealed by a careful study of the clerks financia. statement, which appeared in the News last week. This sho1ld give county scrip boost upward and greatly shor- ten the time when Little River cuun- tvs paper will be worth 100 cents on the dollar.
 In court order last week, yu0go Jones made an order cutting out the unneesssary labor and expense in making out the tax books. He has practical ideas and is using them in cutting out much of the red tape which costs money, and getting down to a business basis. The order follows:
 The Order.
 "It appearing to the cour. that in making the tax books for Little River county, there is an unnecessary .- mount of work done on the same, to- wit: Tn figuring the tax on the diff ferent valuations in accordance with the several rates for the different funds for both, state, county, school and road funds. The court finds that as matter of fact, these extensions are useless, are never referred 60 For any purpose, and that the county and state should be saved this unnecessary expense.
 "It is therefore by the court cons;d- cred, ordered and adjudge that the clerk of this court, in making the tax books for the year 1915 disregard the columns in the books left for the ex- tension of the taxes for the several funds, and that after inserting the several valuations, that he then pro- total taxes due, and that all extensions heretofore intervening between the valuation and total tax be omitted"

REVIEW OF COTTON MARKET
Storm and Politics Caused & SharI
 Break in Prices Last Week.

New Orleans, Aug. 22.-Storm news the cotton market last week. Price movement were nervous and erratic and the market was easily influenced. The close was at a net loss of 16 to 17 points. At one time the trading months were 10 tc. 15 points over the previous weeks close, and at another they were 16 to g points higher.
 In the early part of the week the general trend on prices was upwarc on reports of damage to open cotton in Texas by the hurricane. The buy ing wave, however, was not pronctiau- ed and late in the week bears insist ently claimed that whatever damage had been done by the wind would be more than offset by the benefits aris- ing from the soaking rains which ac- companied the storm. On Friday con- siderable selling resulted from these claims.
 Toward the end of the week the mar ket was sensitive to political news be- cause of the, situation caused by the sinking of the Arabic. This overshad- owed the declaration from the allies that cotton would be contrabanG.
 The market can hardly escape beins much unsettled this coming week. The renewal of the tension oe:wen this country and Germany is regarded as an unfavorable influence. ln addition there are the conflicting statements re- garding the crop situation in the west.
 The spot situation will be gwen much attention because of the report that Texas shippers are short of spots and are in bad positicN -c:ause of i1e damage done to early cotton.

 Take up Express Cos. Sept }.

Little Rock, Aug. 23.-(Special. J. The Arkansas Railroad Commission announces that it will on September take up an application for modif- cation of express tariff, made by F. G. Airy, representing all the companies doing business in the state.
 The American, Southern and Wells Fargo, request that the Commission put into effect on Arkansas intra-state tra- fife the same schedule of first and sec ond class package charges as authoriz- ed by the Interstate commerce com mission for interstate business Jan uary 1, 1914.
 ~ The express companies at that time applied for permission to apply tae rates for the sake of uniforzaity. aS they deemed it necessary in trying tO make a success of the business, that rates, regulations and practices should be as nearly uniform as possible.
 "The putting into effect of those rat co, odyo tuC dPPiiCdeioh, Diou6hS about considerable reduction in rev enue to the express companies on state business. After years trial of these rates, the interstate commerce cccn- mission has granted re-hearing, and made another thorough investigation of the matter, and has found that for the year beginning February 1. 1914, and ending January 1, 1915, the reve- nues of the express companies. both state and interstate, were not sufficient to cover the expenses of the business. The increase allowed in the pack age charges by the interstate commer- ce cCdnmtssion will still leave the rat es, and therefore, the charges paid by the public, both on interstate business and on state business in yo1r state much lower than they were prior to Feb.
