ENDORSES OLD NEBHOCIR IN RACE FOR TREASURER

 IN TEXAS.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 I notice in the Log Cabin Democrat that J. E. Hogan of Cato is in the race for county treasurer. l know Faulkner county could not get bet ter man for the office than Mr. Hogan. I served on the school board at Cato for about IA years with him, and I know him to be honorable in every respect. It would please me for my friends to give him their sup port as I know they will never regret it. This is the first office he has asked for and I feel that he is competent and entitled to it.
 We'll, we are having some rain over in Texas and if it continues to rain we will get behind with our farming. We had some sleet during the holi- days, but it did not hurt wheat and oats They look fine so far, but hear some complaint of the green bugs.
 Last year we had to fight the chintz bug; this pest did considerable dam age to wheat, oats and corn. They are worse than the boil weevil The chintz bug is some smaller than the pea weevil, and when young they look red, but as they grow they turn dark. 1 have seen as much as a pint of them on one stalk of corn. They com- mence work right at the top of the ground and work up higher on the stalk. They won't do much damage if it rains a plenty, but if dry they do much damage. Some years we can not hardly find one, but it was no trouble to find them last year. It takes early planting here to make a success.

 As was torecasted Tuesday night by Prof Caruthers, mind reader and hypnotist who has been appearing this week at the Grand theatre, a member of his audience last night eloped and was married after mak- ing two unsuccessful attempts to steal his bride-to-be from her home. Prof. Caruthers said that within three days a member of his audience would elope, but that it would require three attempts before the ceremony was pronounced.
 Tuesday afternoon Jack Paty, a young farmer who lives near Vilonla, who heard the professors prediction, had obtained a marriage license to wed Miss Ida Venable, who is said to be only 15 years old. The license clerks record shows the girl to be IS. MT. Paty endeavored to steal hls sweetheart Tuesday night, but failed. His plans were frustrated again on Wednesday night. Last night, while the family were at dinner, the girl ouietlv stole from her home, met young Paty, who was waiting Tn buggy for her near her home, and the couple drove off to minister and were married.

 Her crowning virtues were her am fable disposition, gratitude and for giving spirit Well did she act her part in the great drama of life, and leave a bright record as pure and as beautiful as the snow that falls from heaven. Oh What a solemn hour
 When death comes to our home And robs us of our loved ones, And leaves us all alone! We see her pale form lying
 At Oak Grove in the tomb; Her lovely face not shining
 As it used to at home. Home is not home for mother is not
 here, Angels have taken her out ot our
 care; Oft have her eyes grown dim with
 tears, Guiding our wayward feet through
 the years;
 Planning our happiness with hopes and with fears, Faithful and true till the summons
 she hears. We miss thee from our home, dear
 mother,
 We miss thee from thy place; A shadow OCT our life is cast,
 We miss the sunshine of thy face. We miss thy kind and willing hand Thy fond and earnest care, Cur home is dark without thee We miss thee everywhere. Blessed by thy soul, mother, Heaven be thy reward.

PROFESSIONAL MEN
 NEEDED IN URUGUAY
ARKANSAS MAN HAS TO BRING HIS WIFE HOME FOR
 DENTAL WORK.

Little Rock, Jan. 13.-Judge Elm nett Jeffreys of Newport, ambassa- dor to Uruguay, spent Wednesday in Little Rock Ambassador Jeffreys came to Little Rock to have dental work done for Mrs. Jeffreys, who ac- eompanied him, and the fact that it was necessary that this work be done in the United States led the official to remark of the great opportunities for professional men from this coun- trv in Uruguay and other South American countries.
 Ambassador Jeffreys is located in 9 town of 100000 inhabitants, among whom are thousands of people from the United States. There is but one dentist there from the United States and he cannot care for all the pat ronage offered him by his fellow countrymen. There are no physicians there from this country, though the native physicians and surgeons are very capable. Ambassador Jeffreys says the British surgeon there has all of his time taken up with American patronage, most of which would go to a native of the United States if one would docate there.
 Ambassador Jeffreys will sail from New York March 1 to return to his post

WILL FARE FORTH IN
 SEARCH OF A QUEEN COMMANDER BRANDON, HOW EVER, NEED GO NO FAR
 THEIR THAN CONWAY.

Little Rock, Jan, 13-Going forth to search for queen is not modern custom, being associated only with the fairy tales of youth, yet that is exactly what W. N. Brandon of Lit tie Rock, commander-in-chief of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, is pre- pairing to do. He will journey over Arkansas in the near future in search for an ideal Arkansas woman who will be the queen of the Sons at the reunion of Confederates at Birmingham.
 1t Is the desire of Commander Brandon to bestow upon some Arkan- sas young woman the highest honor that can be extended by the Sons, the appointment as sponsor-in-chief for this organization. Commander Bran don states that he knows Arkansas has the most gracious, most vivaci- ous and the most beautiful women. and any of them would suitably fill the appointment, but he wishes one who will simply dazzle the myriad of southerners who attend the Birming- ham reunion.
 Commander Brandon is arranging a tour of the state, accompanied by members of his staff, with meetings of the Sons in the towns visited. The Sons will be instructed to invite the Daughters to attend these meetings, for Commander Brandon does not wish to miss an opportunity of select ing the one most suited for the place through her not becoming known to him.
 In this tour of the state, Comman- der Brandon hopes to organize quite a few new camps of Sons, as well as revive many of the sleeping ones, and interest in the work of the Sons, and insulting life into them, will be one of the chief factors to be considered in the appointment of the sponsor. This is expected to cause a revival of interest in the work of the Sons, by the Daughters.
