OBITUARY

Miss Alice Lay Bouldin, born
in Louisiana, came with the fam
lily to Hampstead County, Ark,
many years age, where she spent
the remainder of a useful life,
nearby and in the town of Wash

when her spirit, at ) o'clock a.

She had fingered some time un-

But she had worn out her life in
service to others till nothing was
left to sustain mortal existence
and she Succumbed to the inev-
itable-the weary wheels of life
stood still, a peaceful sleep en-
braced her suffering frame and
the immortal spirit went to Join
loved ones on the other shore.
Early in life she united with
the ProstestantE Episcopal church,
of which she was a faithful and
consistent member till the last.
Miss Alics began teaessag at
sixteen, in which useful calling
she laid herself upon the alter of
sacrifice and service. She has
erected an imperishable monu-
ment more enduring than tables
of stone on the hearts of the chill
dren whom she has served. 1t

friends had placed a rich profu

BRITIAN'S BLUFF

England has caused rumors to
be circulated of some wonderful
force held in reserve in case of
need-some powerful agent of
destruction, which it is only nee
essary to use and end the war,
and strange to say, this mystic
rious and powerful force has
been known and at her command
for one hundred years.
The story of this mysterious
force known as "Dundornald's
DESTROYER, sounds like a gigan-
tic bluff, but if Britain has such
amachine, she had better get it out
and oil it nicely, as she will like
lv need it this timeif ever. Bluffs
won't work this time, as most of
those Germans are from Mis-
souri, when it comes to that sort
of thing.

there was something extraordi-
nary about him.
The stunt.pulled off by the lone
highwayman has revealed the
fact that there were several other
prophets in the vicinity of Hope,
for it has been said numbers of
times that the contestants in the
county seat case would never get
to see the poll books. How they
could be so sure of this it is not
known. Where they got the in
formation is equally a mystery,
but the parties who made these
statements evidently knew what
they were talking about. They
know very little about the writ
ten law, but were able to foreSee
coming events. This lone high
wayman must have heard all
this talk, because he had to be
in close touch with affairs to
have known as much as he did.
Why he should have taken such
chances to get hold of the pol
books under these circumstances
is another of the mysteries as
vet unexplained.

THAT FLOATING" VOTE

very lew were at Une Ulne sur
prised at the disappearance of
the poll books used in the county
seat election, and none are since
they have learned the number of
transients who just happened to
sOjourn in Hope on that day; men
with homes in other states and
other counties; men who claimed
no home; men who do not know
what it means to pay taxes, and
men who would not stay any
where thirty days. These men
just made it a point to be in Hope
on that day, vote a tax on the
people of Hampstead county and
then move on to other pastures.
Those PA votes in DeRoan are
being rapidly accounted for, and
the wonder is the lone highway
man did not get those books
sooner. A man on the outside
would think he was taking des-
perate chances to wait so long.
If all prophets were as good as
he is there would be no need to
guess at the weather. He evil
IDENTIFY knew what to do and when
to do it. To the ordinary man he
was a well posted highwayman.
This highwayman was deter
mined that the people should pay
the taxes voted on them by
the ambulatory populatio n
of Hope. 1t was his business
to know things. While he was
just a plain, ordinary highway
man, he did not want money.
What he wanted was poll books
OF county seat elections, and he
knew how to get them, where to
get them, when to get them and
who to get them from.
Very likely this same lone
highwayman went round and
got the poll books lost by the cleo
ton judges; because these Judges
might find those books and turn
them in to the court, then the fat
would be in the fire. This high
wayman would never be guilty
OF making a mistake like that.
He knows too well how to man
age things, and being such a
good prophet, no doubt he Just
went and placed his hands on
those lost poll books and made
safe the secrets they contained
because of their sacred charac-
ter.
That highwayman must have
known that the judges at Nc.

Bridewell's office box were going
to lose the poll books for their

known, too, that in case the su-

dy of Messrs. Cornilius and Davis
were ordered to be exposed as
public records, an attempt would
be made to get copies before the

his arm and would make no fight

affairs. In fact, he was so well
