= That agriculture, will be devOp-
ed throughout heUnitedState just
as community centers are develop
ed and that when the two are
S parated the fabric of rural life
will be torn down, is the belief of
prof. &. |. Chllistie superintend-
ent agricultural extension wotk,
Purdue University, who in talk
ing before the convention of the
National Fertilizer Association
recently, used the above state
ment regarding agriculture by
president Garfield as his text.
DO you think that we can de-
velOp the country districts of Indi.
ana, or any other state, if we
destroy the rural town? The rural
town grew up because the farm
ers wanted and needed stores
where they could trade, where
they could market their produce
and buy supplies.

A Dirty Contest

The contest suit instituted by
A. j. Kirk, in the effort to take
the Republican nomination for
Appellate Judge from Judge
Sampson upon a technlcallty, Is
as most People pntit an outrage.
Kirk has held Office. as a Repub-
lican, every day since he arrived
at the age of twenty one, up TO
the fir-t day of January, last.
He has been fed az the hands of
the party. But since he is de-
feated he, like a down and out
politician. is willing to disrupt
the party and bring about defeat
for the National ticket for self.
ish purposes.
Judge Kirk admits he was de-
feated at the polls that a con-
siderable majority of the voters
registered heir preference for
Judge Sampson. He is not con-
testing upon the ground that any
fraud or wrong was done him;
he does not claim that Judge
Sampson spent money or used
whlskey or any other thing of
value to influence voters. His
only claim is, that a statement
of expenses was not filed by Judge
Sampson on the fifteenth day
next before the Primary, and he
is wrong even in this. But in
spite of the fact that $50 more
men voted for Sampson than
voted for Kirk, yet this down and
out politician would. through a
technicality;-a mere bubble,
take the nomination from the
man whom the people chose.
There is no doubt in the mind
of any well informed man that
the corporations furnished Kirk
a corruption fund of more than
thirty thousand dollars with
which to make this race. A very
large part of this was used on
the day of the election to corrupt
voters. Even Kirk himself on
election day at one precinct in
Pike County, openly bought votes
and this is charged in the re-
Spouse to his contest. His friends
in various counties through the
district were doing the same
thing But he, like a baby Like
something less than a man, makes
a fuss when the people make a
nomination on their own volition
and of their own free will.
Kirk is condemned by his own
plea in the eyes of all honest men. |
He can not win by any such hook
or crook. The people are entitled
to have their way when they vote.
This is a government by the peo-
pie. or for the people. 1t is a
Republic. and the majority are
entitled to and will rule. There
il and can be nothing in a contest
such as Kirk has instituted, ex-
cept annoyance, and perhaps con-
fusion in the Party. No good
can come of il. There is no law
by which a majority can be over

IN MEMORY.

1t is with sad and broken heart
that | write of the death of our
dear cousin, John Lindsey, who was
born December 8, 1853, and died De-
cember q, 1916. God only knows
how our hearts ache and how we miss
him since he has been taken away
from us. Though we could not see
him or know how much he suffered
just know he was killed and taken
from us. This deeply felt loss to
wife and children and one brother
we trust will be his great gain.
We appreciate every effort and kind
act of our dear friends and pray
Gods richest blessings upon them.
We thank the blessed Savior for the
sweet assurance that our dear cousin
IS safe in the arms of Jesus, for no
one never trusted Jesus more than
he, and while it was hard for us to
bear yet his grace is sufficient for
US if We trust him, and | know that
some day some where we will un-
derstand why he was taken from
US. We thank Rev. J. O. Can
trell for his talk and his sweet pray
er for our cousin;. we also thank
our friends for the sweet flowerA
that brighten the sad spot we can
never forget. How hard it did seem
for his dear loving wife to give him
up, her all, her stay, the one who
had promised to protect her through
life, but Jesus says | am the way.
'Tis hard to break the tender bond
when love has bound the heart, 'tis
hard, so hard to speak the word, we
must forever part Dearest loved
one we have laid thee in peaceful
graves embrace, but thy memory
will be cherished till we see thy
heavenly face. His cousins,
John and Polite Milan.

TREASURER TO BE
NAMED THURSDAY
WOFFORD OUT OF RACE
Son of Late County Treasurer
Lindsey Makes Application for
the Appointment.

Governor c. W. Hays will not an
nounce an appointment to fill the
vacancy in the Office of treasurer of
Faulkner county, oceasioned by the
tragic death of John Lindsey. until
Thursday, it was stated today. The
governor left Little Rock Saturday
night to spend few days at his home
IN Camden and is said to have ad-
vlsed applicants for the position that
the appointment would not be taken
up until after his return to the cap
ital, which would be Thursday. Gov
ernor Hays, it is stated, has informed
all applicants for the appointment
and their friends that he would give
each one a hearing and that his
mind was open in the matter.
Deputy Circuit Clerk j. +. Wofford,
who was a prospective applicant for
the appointment, has withdrawn his
application, it was announced today.
Mr. Wofford's withdrawal is not un-
derstood to be in favor Of any of
thS oClAtI dpplICduIS.
Another development today was
the entrance of Charles Lindsey. a
son Of the late county treasurer. in
the race for the appointment. Peti-
tons asking that Mr.. Lindsey be ap-
pointed on the ground that the
emoluments of the office were ur-
gently needed for the support Of the
widow and that the father had held
the position to which he was elected
for less than 80 days, are being cir
culated by Mr.. Lindsey's friends to-
Gay and are being freely signed.
Friends of Deputy Treasurer T. ].
Rullion, j. r. Donnell and S. E. An
derson have been active in their ef-
forts to secure the appointment of
one of these gentlemen.
There is much speculation as to
whether Governor Elect Brough will
call special election for treasurer
The constitution of the state pro-
vides that where an Office becomes
vacant more than six months prior
to the expiration of the term. the
governor shall call a special election.
In many cases, however, governors
have ignored this law, and appointees
have been allowed to remain in Of
flee. A case in point occurred in the
same office in this county three years
ago. r. X. Wilkerson, the courtE
treasurer, resigned in the latter pal.
of July, 1918, his illness resulting in
death a few weeks later. Former
County Clerk J. II. Bailey, upon MIR.
Wilkerson's recommendation, was
appointed by Acting Governor Flu
trey, to fill the vacancy, and, al
though the term lacked one year and
three months Of being completed, the
appointment was not disturbed and
no special election was ordered by
Governor Hays, who succeeded to the
governorship shortly after the ap-
pointment was made.
