For a number of years he held a responsible position with the Western Coal and Mining Company at Denning, but for the past few years has been in very poor health - for a year the decline has been rapid though friends did not realize that the end was so near and were shocked and grieved to hear of his death.
 Every one who knew Press" Moseley spoke of him as a good citizen, kind, charitable, honor able. clean. practicing christian ity in his daily life. For more than twenty-five years he was a consistent member of the Bap- tist church, always at his post of duty doing the layman's work of the church cheerfully and well. The floral offerings were many and beautiful, more than cover ing the casket.

More About the School Rally

Prof. Reed of Ft. Smith has been secured to deliver the liter ary address on that day and that means a treat to all who hear him as he is very able speaker. So we trust that not only the school children of the county but the parents as well will come out that day and hear the address.
 Remember now that the pupils of any school may enter the con- test but only one pupil for each class from a school will be per mitted to enter. that is in the spelling contest for example. one pupil from school will enter from class No. l. another pupil for class No.2 and another for class No. 3 and so on. So that would permit three pupils from school for spelling. three for recitation, two for drawing and one for composition,
 Sincerely hoping that every school will be represented,I am,

Conditions at State
 Institutions Alarming

That the management of our State institutions, is causing great alarm among citizens who have the best interests of the State at heart is becoming apar- ent.
 Dangerous convicts. who should be closely guarded within the walls of the penitentiary are allowed to walk off unmolested. They obtain arms at will and when they get ready to go back to the pen require the State to pay the reward for their capture to their wives.
 Convicts sent up for murder are given guns and become guards over their fellow convicts and if through carelessness they kill a few of the other convicts while at the table eating, it's alright, just a few men to bury in the convicts grave yard.
 Now boy the son of the Re- form School physician takes his pistol and shoot an old gray head ed man while he is engaged at  his work as junk dealer at his own place of business. Admit ting that the old man was an ex- convict and was trading for stolen property, it does not follow that he should be shot down by an irresponsible boy who the police alleged was arrested last winter for stealing an automo- bile.
 It is time something was being done to protect the state against dangerous criminals, and un- fortunate convicts against vic ious or criminally careless con- victs who are given positions as guards and fire arms given them to shoot down the helpless.
 A general shaking up is in or der and we sincerely hope that the next administration will clean out the Augean stables with the rivers of reform and econ- omy. They need the accumulat- ed filth washed away, till not an officer or employe however high or low who is responsible in the smallest degree with the present conditions is left.

Club Boys and Girls.

Of the different clubs will meet with the contestants in the county school contest, at the court house, Friday. October ?.
 Prizes for the winners haves not been solicited. due to the fact that the business men and a few farmers have contributed for the county agents salary. All prizes for this purpose have and shall be contributed by those who feel prompted to do so. Charley Springfield has or dered the medal 1 spoke of in the spring. R. H. Strong Hdw. Co. contributes prize. There is to be a meet of the prize win ners of the various counties at Little Rock Nov. 21. P, and 23. The expenses of the winners are usually paid by the county to this meet. But at present no appropriation has been made for this purpose.
 It is a surprise to me and to the officials at Ft. Smith. Hot Springs and Little Rock to see Franklin county. the county which ranked along with the first at the state fair a year or 90 ago manifesting so little in- terest in club work for the boys and girls and community organ nations. It is true that some communities are organized, but is it yours? Come out to this | Club Day and see how few are actively working in the clubs this year. If the parents and teachers of the county are not interested in this movement, nor can be interested, all who are l trying to foster a progressive | spirit might as well pull down l their banner. = T.
