Robertson was for mally installed as pastor of the church. In the months that pr. Robertson has been with the congre- gation he has endeared himself to all members by his gentleness of manner, his devout life and his splendid exposition of the scriptures, and the entire citizenship of Mor- rilton will learn with gladness that he is now in full charge of the church here. Dr. Mckay occupied the pulpit and preached again at night.

The Oldest of Trees.

As to the ages of trees, 1t is not the oak which is, as Dryden, or another has it, the patriarch" The oldest trees on earth are the tremendous con ifers standing in one of the Cali fornian valleys. Older than Abraham they have rolled around with the world, alive, for many more centuries than any mere oak; and not long ago one of them fell. There he lies, and you climb his side by a ladder. And the rest-or many of them-are in their last few centuries, as is evident from their dwindling tops.
 That IS what surprises the tourist that having lived through human history they are now dying. They are now cared for, if things so strange and so august can be said to owe any. thing to mans care; but man for hun dreds of decades gave them hard usage; their hollows are black with the fires lighted within by Indian na tions long vanished.-London Chroni' cle.

FORCE IN THE COMMUNITY
Man With the Talent for Silence" Generally Recognized for Strong
 Parsonage He Is.

There is gift of gab" and there Is talent for silence" Everybody classifies somewhere under four head. ings: Those who say nothing because they have nothing to say; those who have nothing to say, but say 1t; those who have something to say and say 1t, and those who say nothing in spite of having something to say. The last named are rare, says a writer in the Boston Globe. It behooves those who have the gift of gab" to strive for the talent for silence" and those who have the talent for silence" 10 try to acquire some gift of gab."
 But better a thousand gabblers than the silence of one cold, cunning man who encouraged ardent and generous people to do all the talking in order that he may conceal his cards while they show theirs. That silence Is com mon among men whom authority and wealth have made crafty.
 Character speaks language of its own. The silent man does not need to speak in order to make himself heard. We sense" his opinions and dread his silent disapproval more than open reproaches. The man who can bear complaints without com blaming who can take an earful of Insult without retorting; who can en- dure misjudgment without a fit of the sulks-the man who keeps his mouth shut and saws wood-he is such force in the community as he little dreams of being. It is not anything that he does; it is what he is.

NOTHING LOST BY COURTESY
May at Times Seem a Small Thing, But It Has the Power of Ac-
 complaining Much.

Courtesy is like oil upon troubled waters. There is an inevitable amount of friction in everyday life. Courtesy reduces this friction to a minimum. The happy outcome of a days work may easily be determined by cheery Good morning" at it's beginning A knitted brow and a grudging greeting may be harbingers of failure in the days work.
 In the elevator, at the telephone, at the bench and in the office-at every point of contact between man and man-a little thought for the feelings of others is a pleasant lubricant in the Joints of life. It reduces the jar of the human machinery, promotes good feel ing, adds to the worlds stock of self respect.
 It is better to request than to com. mand, better to smile than to frown, better to help than to hinder even in the smallest things. A courteous man and a courteous woman furnish the salt that makes life palatable to the soul
 Our common allotment of happiness. of contentment, of the joy of living is all too small. By robbing those about us of their share we rob ourselves in the long run. Let us add to that share instead of detract from 1t. Let us respect scrupulously the small rights of others; regard for the big rights will then become a matter of habit.

MORRILTON NEWS NOTES .
.s..s......s.......s..s...--:..s.- .s.-:........s...s (From the Headlight, Nov. 17.)

 n
 On Monday afternoon, October 30 Col. J. V. Ryan, father of Mrs. Jor- dan Sellers of this city, and well known to Morrilton citizens, was united in marriage to Mrs. R. H. Baker in Tribbett, Miss.
 Among those who attended the football game in Conway on Friday were Earl and Oscar Watson, Jerome Robertson, J. H. McClung, Claude Leigh, Allen Duggar, Max Doty, Hen ry Moore Beers, Misses Marguerite Gordon, Lela Duggar, Ethel Stephens and Frances Garrett.
 Prof J. P. Womack of Conway, leader for the district of the lay mem bers' movement in the Methodist church, occupied the pulpit at the Methodist church morning and even ing Sunday and gave two excellent addresses. In the afternoon at the W. c. T. U. rally he again spoke, and all who heard him enjoyed his talks very much.
 Another evidence of Wilson pros perity came to light in Morrilton on Tuesday when Earl Bros. X Co.,, sold 2,600 bales of cotton to McFadden Bros. of Philadelphia for more than a quarter of a million dollars. These big buyers had previously sold part of their holdings, aggregating more than 4,000 bales. The price paid for this cotton was the largest in our knowledge ever paid here.
 Saturday afternon in Memphis, Tenn, Miss Eugenia Smith, daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. L. T. Smith of this city, was united in marriage to Roy G. Ellis, it being the cultima- tion of a romance begun here several months ago, when the groom was here as agent for an insurance com pany. The bride is one of Morrilton's many lovely daughters and will be greatly missed by her friends, for she is to make her home in Kentucky, possibly Paducah. She left on the early train Saturday to join MT. FL lis.

Practice Loving.

Practice loving everyone you meet, being ready with a kind word or 8 gentle act. Try it for three days, and measure the joy of those three days, and you will never be willing to give up the habit altogether l do not mean that we can easily attain to love of all humanity. No immortal garland is to be won without the dust and heat of battle. But what one practices daily, hourly, becomes easier and essiar.-Louise Collier Wilcox.

STOCK OF GOLD
,. r. - -.
ROAD BONANZA
ASPECULA71ON
Promoters Claim Mine Has Ex-
CeIIent Prospects, and Have
Good Connections

Following the appearance in the TO-
cal press OF large display advertise
ments offering for sale Arizona mining
stock, inquiries were received relative
70 the merits OF the proposition and
the Star-Bullatin sent 4 representative
TO the local office of A. +. White Com
pany OF San Francisco, the house Of
fering Gold Road Bonanza stock. Al
this office all questions We're quickly
and willingly answered. "...-
The local representative Of the A. +,
!. hitp Company states that the prop.
erty of the Gold Road Bonanza COM
pany is directly adjacent TO and above
the property OF the Gold Roads mining
company The latter,is a proven prop
erty. a large producer and a dividend
payer owned by Guggenheim interests.
AS the Bonanza is above the older
property it may be necessary to go
deeper before ore is encountered. II
is not claimed that the Gold Roads
Bonanza is a proven mine but 1t IS
claimed that it owns 80 acres OF we'll
located mineral lands, has equipment
on the ground in operation and is
working three shifts, and the shaft
that II is putting down at the rate
of feet Fer day, is only 200 feet from
O. shaft of the Gold Roads company.
In other words, it is claimed to be an
excellent prospect The vice-president
is the mine superintendent OF the old
err property and il would thus appear
that he has confidence in the new
company. 1t was further stated that
the company has received the approx:
al of the Arizona state corporation
commission, necessary before stock in
an Arizona incorporation can be mar.
keted and is listed on the San Fran
cisco stock exchange. - j.
The Oatman district in Arizona is
not new but much of its development
is recent For years there were two
successful mining companies there,
the Gold Roads and the Tom Reed.
Within two years several other prop.
critics have passed from the prospect
stage into the mine stage.
The deposit is said to be a blanket
formation and it is claimed that most
of the properties located and develop
ing will find such deposit. Its depth
is undetermined but the Gold Roads
is in it still at depth of 100 feet
Arizona has blue sky law" which
makes it necessary to satisfy the cor
poration commission of the legitimacy
and honesty Of a proposition before
the corporation may sell stock. Then
it remains for the purchasers of the
stock to see that their money goes
into the ground in development work
is properly expended F."
A dividend-paying mining stock
brings a good price. 1t is while the
property is developing from prospect
to mine that its stock can be obtained
at low figures. In other words there
are chances for and against to be
weighed. 1t is purely and simply a
speculation and cannot be properly
termed an investment until the prop
erty reaches the producing stage. The
president of the United Verde extern
sion, which had a phenomenal rise
from Is cents to $25, advised that no
poor man put his savings in mining
stock and that no one put more than
half his savings in the stock of un-
proved mining companies. j.. j.:
