MISS WEBB WINS RING
DR.. BLAIR THE GOLD

Wednesday afternoon at three o..
clock all the 100000 tickets from 19
different boxes were mingled in one
box in the band stand with Mr.. w. A.
Florence as master of ceremonies and
chief spieler of the occasion.
Elizabeth, little daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Charlie Northcutt, was
blind-folded and drew out the tick
cts. Miss Fannie Lou Webb, teacher
in the city schools, won the hand
some ring and DR.. Leslie Blair the
cash.
Rev Randolph Claiborne called
out the numbers which were called
out by Mr.. Florence
The contest was much more pop l.
lar than was contemplated, as the
estimation on the amount of tickets
to be used was $4,000, but to the
surprise of all there was about
SOC, 600 used. The amount of card
board stock used in printing these
tickets by the Marietta Journal was
500 lbs

BAPTIST CHURCH NEWS.

A large and appreciative audience
greeted DR.. S. Y. jameson on his
second Sunday at the First Baptist
church last Sunday.
DR.. Jameson's long experience in
teaching the Bible in college work
and the ministry, is eXemplified in
his splendid sermons, and no doubt
will mean larger and more apprecia-
tive audiences as his ability becomes
better known.
The Sunday School officers and
teachers met at the Pastorium Mon
day night and planned work for the
new year. Several new teachers
were elected, and after business of
the King was disposed Of, DR. Jane
son treated all present to some Arkan-
saw pecans that he had gathered
himself on the campus of Ouichita
College.
Plans were formulated to have the
largest attendance at Sunday School

Little Rock, Aug 8-The Arkan- sas Gazette has declared against the repeal of the State wide pro- hibition act. It says that, 1t IS to be hoped that the result of the election will show unequiyo- cally that Arkansas intends to re- main in the prohibition column. " 1t declares that instead of the opponents of the Sale of liquor now having to bring people over to their side, the show is on the other foot; it is the liquor advo- cates who will now have to bring people over to their side if they are to succee i'd their effores to open the saloons again. y

The Farmers Union FavOrS
 Prohibition.

Little Rock, Aug. 9.-The Farmers Union went on record against the repeal of the state wide prohibition law. And that despite the fact that the act by which it is proposed to put saloons back into Arkansas and undo all the good results accomplished during the years of local option, was initiated under the direction of Ben l.. Griffin, former State Secretary of the Union. The Bigelow Press voices the sentiments of a large part of the newspapers of Arkansas when it says, "His advocacy of the anti-prohibtion measure ought to be enough in itself to kill it."

and one-half east of Lonoke.) At 5:3O we passed thru Lon oke. Likewise Carlisle at 6:l5 and Hazen at 2 p. m.
 ! Desiring to avoid the discom- fort of muddy roads the party turned south at Hazen and dl- rected it's route toward the fer ry at Clarendon. The roads between Hagen and White riv- CT were excellent and the car going at it's usual gait, lost no time in bringing it's passengers to the edge of the White river bottoms.
 We entered the lowlands of this vicinity at 8:15 and for three miles and a half we had no trouble but at this point our only serious delay presented It. self.
 It was very hard to wind in and out thru the bottoms and unfortunately the driver under estimated the danger of mud hole.
 1 It was the same old story that all tourists know so well, only this particular struggle with the mud was made Tn the dark. Finally by strenuous et- fort the little car managed to work itself out of the almost impossible situation, assisted l by such material as could be found lying around for neces- sary footing. The party was delayed until nearly 1O:3O in this wilderness, having almost lost hope two or three times. At fifteen minutes of eleven we were crossing White river at Clarendon. It took but very short while | to complete the trip home and at :00 p. m. we were ln Brinkley.
 On the whole, with but one exception, it was a most pleas ant trip. The writer sees no reason why any Brinkley auto owner should hestitate to make the same trip, most any day out of eight months in the year. The roads are excellent. The route is easy to follow and at all times there are numerous cars going and coming so that being left alone on the road in case of accident is out of the question. Truthfully those times have past.
 The distance to Little Rock and return is approximately ITS miles. By leaving early in the morning a party should be able to go to Little Rock, spend few hours and return by an early hour of the night.
 Let us hope that before the season is over the slogan will be Let's run over to Little Rock for awhile today.o

To Little Rock and Back
 Same Day in an Auto

Leaving Sunday morning of Aug. 6 at 6 o'clock Dorsey Mathis, the Overland man of this city, with a party of four, started for Little Rock, with the intention of returning the same day. Could such an in- tention be fulfilled? You have only to ask MT. Mathis, for exactly as the day was clos ing, the little Overland 75B car was pulling up the hill at the west entrance of Brinkley with the same passengers that it started with.
 The trip going, was made via Des Arc. Owing to recent rain the roads thru this section were inconveniently muddy and consequently made the first fifty miles rather slow. If it had not been for this condi- tion, at least forty-five minutes could have been saved between Cotton Plant and Hagen. GA word here to tourists who are contemplating a similar trip in this direction. The one time dreaded ferry at Colotche Bay has been remedied and as a result, danger in passing over has been eliminated.) In a short while our party had left the muddy highway behind and at $40 was leaving Hazen. The trip from Hagen to Little Rock was delightful. With one exception, there was not the slightest misfortune. This oc- cured two miles west of Lon oke, when trying to pass a fel- low traveller, the car slipped into a ditch of water along the side of the pike. Fully three quarters of an hour passed be- fore the car could be gotten out. It so happened that there were no cars passing by at this time that could offer proper assistance. Once again started, our next stop was Hotel Mar ion, which was approached at one o'clock p. m.
