Farewell Reception.

The reception given by Rev. J. J. and Mrs. Galloway at the church Monday evening was one of the most pleasant. While a number were prevented going by the disagreeable weather. Those who were there were most royalty entertained and feasted. And it was a real disappointment to a large number of Brother and Sister Galloway's friends that they could not be with them on this occation and show to them their appreciation for this valient and faithful services since com- ing to Ozark four years ago.

Boone Gets Seven Years

T. w. M. Boone, former presi- dent of the American National bank, convicted last month of aiding and abetting in the falsti- cation of report of the bank s conditian made to the comptrhiler of the currency, was sentenced to serve seven years in the United States penitentiary at Leaven- worth, Kansas. by Federal Judge Frank A. Youmans shortly before noon at Ft. Smith Friday.
 Boone is at liberty under an interim bond of $10. 900, pending the perfection of his appeal to the United States circuit court of appeals. Judge Youmans granted 100 days to attornies for the former banker to file the motion for an appeal.
 In sentencing Boone, Judge Youmans reviewed the mass of evidence submitted by both the defense and the prosecution, and declared that the testimony, he believed, was sufficient to war rant the jury in returning the verdict rendered. Boon s sen- tence is one year less than that pronounced against Cashiers r. A. Ball, A. s. Dowd, and E. M Dickenson. who are now serving terms of eight years each Tn the Leavenworth prison for compile ity in the fraud for which Boone came as a distinct surprise to those who have followed the case since it's inception. Attorneys for the former banker had ar. ranged to file their bill of ex. captions, and present Boone foi sentence tomorrow morning, but because of the desire of the de fendant to escape the notoriety which would have been occasion. ed by the presence of a large au- dience when sentence was pro. nounced, it was decided to ad- vance the sentencing one day.

Rexall Straw Vote
 Proves Correct
Dr. E. w. Blackburn Names
 Wilson Before Election.

President Wilson's victory a the polls yesterday is a striking verification of the prediction made by this newspaper long be, fore election day.
 Three weeks ago, the 5000 members of the Rexall Drug gests Association of which Dr E. W. Blackburn, a member, be. gan to take Straw Vote of their customers. The members of the Association being scattered all over the United States, were able to reach 951, 396 voters drawn from all walks of life. It was the biggest straw vote ever taken and was made possible only by the national character of the organization.
 Realizing this fact the Specta- tor made special arrangements with Dr. Blackburn a member of the Rexall Druggists Associa- tion in Ozark to publish ths re turns from the Straw Vote.
 The druggists throughout the country mailed or telegraphed the results of the voters cast by their customers to the national headquarters of their organiza- tion in Boston. There the voters were tabulated, and the results of the balloting from all the states were announced by the daily bulletins mailed from Boston and which were posted in the 5000 Rexall Stores, and published simultaneously in the leading newspapers of the country.
 The first straw vote bulletin, sent out October 26th, showed Wilson in the lead. The second bulletin, issued October 27th, showed Hughes in the lead by one electoral vote. From that date each and every bulletin, recorded steady gains for Wilson, both in the popular and the cleo toral vote.

Triumphant
 Democracy
Democrats Celebrated the Oc-

On the night of the late ma.
 tional election, as the late reports
 came slowly in to the anxious
 watchers of the returns there
 were many sad hearts among our local Democrats, and exces- sive, if premature. rejoicing among the Republicans.
 All during the next day,
 Wednesday, there was likewise gloom in the camp of the follow CTS of Jefferson. Thursday was but little better. but here and there among the dark clouds of defeat there appeared a ray of light that seemed to grow broad CT and brighter as the long day were away. Came Friday, the day of one-time i'll omen, and Democrats learned anew that omens are only i'll to those who dread the triumph of the right. The three days of apparent death of hopes were ended and as night drew near Republican chances of victory died and Dem- Ocratic hope revived to most glorious resurrection.
 As the street lights began to gllmmer the people, drawn by common impulse to rejoice at the prospect of four more years of Peace and Prosperity, were gath ering in glad groups on the side walks, Out on the square Sam Littleton made preparation to fire salute to Triumphant De- mocracy, while willing volunteers collected the munitions of peace full war.
 The anvils roared and the rest of the people of the town hur- ried to the square to join the throngs already gathered there. A flag was called for and Sam Mullen.
