Good morning, MT. Editor! Thought 1 would call and see how you and the office force looked after the holidays and at the beginning of the new year 1916.

 Elder Stuart preached at Oak Bend Saturday night and Sun day night.
 Elder Smith preached at Il o'clock Sunday, and very good crowd out to hear him.
 The Sunday school has re- organized and elected F. M 1 Wilmington superintendent; H.. A. Smith. assistant; Mrs M. F.. Smith, secretary; and Nathan Wilmington. chorister.
 The county Union met Satur- day at Oak Bend. The weath- CT was little bad and rainy, but a reasonably good attendance a real good time reported, and a very harmonious meeting. The moving picture man has been around Oak Bend for sev- eral days and l guess will stay as long as the dimes hold out.
 There has been a lot of moving for the last week. and preparing to begin life for the new year.
 There has been some sickness for the last ten days. Uncle James Mantooth and wife are on the sick list, and we learn that there are about three sick at the residence of Old Brother Wells, Hope them better soon.

 This body of land includes 1900 acres belonging to l.. l.. Ford about four miles west of Webb City.
 The Clear Creek Go. has shown by what they have and are doing that they intend to develop the lands they have leased and we are glad they are coming into the Ozark district to help develop our field. With a drill pounding away near us other companies holding leases about here will be jared loose and put to work, and possibly before the end of the year we will see oil and gas developed about Ozark.

The one thing that the busi- ness world could do least with out is the printing press. Panic, demoralization and a falling off of at least eighty per cent in sales would immediately follow it's withdrawal from civilization, and yet there are only a few people who make the fullest use of printing.
The Spectator., 1916-01-11

If you doubt that the public judges you and your business by your printing, how do you account for your own uncon- scious opinion of the firm send ing you a cheap, amateur-look- ing job of printing? We've got ideas about printing that will interest you. And we want to tell you the whole story. It's a proper business man that won't listen to something new about his own business.

lDAA-D1N Vv|AHA1A\ - AA~<A
 Delbert Walker who under went an operation for appendi- cital abscess just the Sunday before, died at his home in this city Sunday about noon. His physician visited him that morn ing and every indication pointed to his early recovery. His father had gone to take Miss Ola to her school at Mountain Top and the other two sisters, Bertie and Mabel, had not re- turned from church. Gurney had to go to town on an errand, leaving Mrs. Walker alone with her boy whom she had nursed so faithfully and tenderly. He complained that he was not rest ing and asked her to straighten his leg and make him comfort able. When she did so he gave a scream and she saw that death was on him. She called a neighbor who reached her as he was breathing his last. His death comes as a great shock to almost every one. While he had been dangerously ill it seemed everything was favor able to his recovery, and the sudden and unexpected change cannot be accounted for. All that fond parents and friends could do was done for Delbert, and the large attendance of friends that more than filled the auditorium at the Methodist church Monday afternoon, mourn ed with the family in their sad bereavement.
 Funeral services were conduct ed at the Methodist church Mon day afternoon at 3 o'clock by Rev. J. J. Galloway. his pastor, using for his text, John 1l:36, Behold how He loved him. " The choir was composed of Mes danes J. s. Turner, D. B. Ander- son, Claude Boozman. Misses Grace Ford, Sidney May Thomp- son. Bert Jeffers, Jettie Moore, Gladys Deane, and Ruth William son. and Leo Paul, Miss Sula Kate Benson played the organ.
 The church was appropriately decorated with potted plants and the floral offerings were especial | ly beautiful. The pail bearers were: Harold Ford. Robert Key. holds, Alvin Clark, Jim King, Preston Blaylock, Hill Burns. The public school children with teachers marched in body to the church and followed the remains to the Highland cemetery where interrment was made. Rev. w. J. Davis conducted the final service.
 Delbert Walker was born October p, 1903, died January 9. 1916. He was not only a favorite in his home where he was deeply beloved, but in the school and Sunday school he had many friends Since his illness he received from his Sunday school teacher a Testament for not being absent from Sunday school during the year except one Sunday. the beginning of his illness. He always wanted to go and when asked on the Sunday of his operation what message he had for the Sunday school he said, Tell them I'd like to be there. and to sing, Open the Door For the Child ren. i" Delbert had a good tenor voice and it was his pleas ure to sing.

J. M. RACHELS, CANDIDATE
 FOR COUNTY JUDGE

In the proper columns will be found the above named candi- date for County and Probate Judge of Franklin County. Ark.
 J. M. Rachels is resident of Altus, in Hogan township, and is one of it's best and most loyal citizens, who needs no recom- mendation where he is known. He has always been staunch Democrat, and stood firm to his post of duty despite the charge and smoke of the enemies battles. He is Democrat be- cause he believes in Democratic principles, and is alway conscien- tious, and practices what he breaches. He is fifty-two years of age, born and reared on the farm. His education was Ob- tained in the old time log school house, and by a torch light in the family home, beside the old chimney fire side, and for this reason he does not boast of his college-bred and University education. But he is self-made man of the unquestionable type.
 His father died when he was a small boy, leaving him to fight this worlds battles alone, an orphan boy. but in spite of his environment he was upright, honest. and ambitious, and ob- tained by his hard efforts, a fair common school education, and took care of his widowed mother
 Mir. Rachels is a polished gen. tleman of the old time rank and file, always closely associated with the common and laboring class:of people, who he claims as his most pleasant associates and best friends. He denOunces the so called political machine and election bosses. who dictate to the rank and file the way they should vote. His watch word is, pubic offices belong to the people and should be filled by the un- biased vote of the majority, and not by few ringsters. machine cranks and election bosses.
 He served four successive years as town marshal at Den ming, then resigned, and was elected mayor two to one over his opponent, afterwards re- moved to Altus, and was elected Justice of the Peace. leading the ticket, which office he now holds and fills with credit.
 He is well versed in law. Like his literary education. he is a self-made lawyer. being ad mitted to the bar some two years ago, and is fully able to take care of the office to which he aspires. As a lawyer he has had remarkable success, alwayS dealing honestly and fairly with his clients and his fellow men, After you have dealings with him you are sure to be his friend.
 We take pleasure in recom- mending him to the good people of Franklin county. and asking you, that when you go to the poles, to give his claim a fair consideration before casting your ballot. If it is the will of the people to elect him to this office, he will always be found at his post of duty. both kind and courteous ably and efficiently and will never give cause for you to regret placing this i'm nortant office in his care. So we ask you to we'll and truly con- slider his claim when you go tC cast your vote. advt.
