We hear the names of three of our
young school teachers mentioned as
probable candidates for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Cou nty Treasu-
rer this year: Houston McColl, of
Belleview, Arthur Francis, of Edge
hill, and Jesse Jackson, of Des Arc.
And there may be others.
Consequent on the Democratic pros
perity, now in evidence in every nook
and corner of our land, there is an
unusual scarcity of teams at the hub
factory at Redmondville, in the west
end of the county. Men, with teams,
seeking employment can get a job
there that will pay $3.50 to So per day.
Mr.. E. w. Graves of Des Arc was
last week chosen as cashier of the
Bank of Poplar Bluff, the Oldest and
strongest financial institution in that
town. We trust his acceptance of
the position will not necessitate Mr..
Graves removal from our county.
He has long been a big stakeholder in
the bank.
Mr.. Kelton E. White of st. Louis
spent Sunday in Ironton. Mr.. White,
in company with a bunch of bond
brokers from ST. Louis, Chicago and
Boston, spent Saturday in Little Rock
and got off train No. 6 here Wednes-
day morning. Mr.. White says that
the state wide prohibition law of Ark
%ansas is by no means rigidly enforced.
The revival meeting continues
with increased interest. In spite of
the almost constant rain, the big
tabernacle was made rapidly. 1t was
built by free labor and the men work
ed theoretically for three days right
through the rain. The ladies of the
different churches served dinner for
the men Tuesday and Wednesday,

Mr.. Rudy two or three years since.
The consideration named is $15 900,
1t is one of the most valuable farms
h~ereabouts.
