storms have a toll of 1875 dead
and over 300 hurt in the great
storm Monday. Tuesday the
wind blew a winter blast and
summer sweets went to the
Closet. Wednesday morning
was a record breaker for June
from a frigid standpoint. J. ;. Too
much rain and farmers are dis
couraged, but there is a bright
day coming. The storm
Monday night blew down many
trees, but no serious damage
here. Near Guys we understand
a negro house and barn were
blown away...........It is a hot old
time this week in the windy city
on the lake. 1t will not cool down
before Saturday. 1t now seems
that the Germans did not get
much the best of the great naval
battle. ....... The town is getting
a move on the coming Chautau-
qua, and the girls are in the tick
ct selling trade. Better buy a
ticket at once. Get button and
be immune from other solicitors.
....... .McNairy is not represented
at Chicago. Does no one want
the post offices?.. The Russian
bear is waking up, and in press
ing the Teutons on the north
border, captured $4,000 at one
onslaught. Hughes seems to
be the favorite among delegates,
but the chances are there will be
some telling combines against
him. Teddy seems to be on the
vance,. There are two gener-
al paydays at this Office July l
and Jan. /. Remember the dates
and shake up your dues. In
Mexico things seem serene but

night and 30 passengers drowned.
Even Senator Bryan in Flor
ida was defeated in the primary.
He was a cousin of W. J.........It
is a good thing Teddy is consid-
cred out Of the race. Too many
republicans remember what he
did four years ago. ......A shoot

we don't care which. ~. Rev.

The Auditing Matter

A few of the enemies OF Hon. Earl
". Hodges, are still circulating the
report that, as secretary of state he
declined to have his books audited
by the special committee named by
the legislature.
1t is due to Mr.. Hodges to say
not only were his books audited by
the very same men who audited the
books in other state departments;
the work was done under Col. Geo.
Thornburg, a man who known fol
his integrity throughout the state
of Arkansas, a leading church mar
and Mason.
The auditors found that there was
not a discrepancy of a single penny
in the Office, and that he had wei
and faithfully accounted for all the
100000 and more handled by hi:
Office.
Following the report of the audit
ors in which they stated that th'
books had been carefully examined
and found correct to a cent, Col
Thornburg, under whose supervis
ion the work was done made the
following statement:
81 think | am justified in saying
that this report is indeed crcditabl
to Mr.. Hodges. 1t covers a perioc
of more than four and one half year
and an amount of more thar
5000, 900 C llected, all of which il
accounted for, and according to Mr.
Hodges receipts, S21 65 overpaid
The accountants call attention tC
certain accounts receivable (uncol
lected which should have been re
ceived, Mr., Hodges satisfactorily
explained the matter to the acooun
ants and myself, In regard to tn
system of bookkeeping, which th'
accountants criticized, it is prope
to say that they found the SAM
system in vogue in all state Offices
The system was not adopted by tn
present state officials and they ar
not responsible for it "

Is the war zone, next to their
wonderful services in the munition
factories, the employment OF women
in agriculture is the most significant.
Capt. Charles Bathurst is quoted as
saying in this connection, that
women activities in the sphere OF
food production might prove the
determining factor in the present
struggle. What becomes of that
most exploited argument against
women voting because they cannot
