OWNBEY is At HOME

Captain w G. 0wnbey arrived Sat
urday morning from Deming, n. NJ,
and will spend few days here visi-
ting with his family, and looking af-
ter his drug business at this place.
Aside from the addition of cunning
little mustache," the captain is the
same old self, and life in the Arkansas
Guard has evidently agreed with him
as his rugged countenance and heal
thy appearance bespeak of his sojourn
in the sand hills and on the cactus
covered plains of New Mexico. The
captain says the ''mustaehe' is abso-
nltely esscnt al to life IN the arc.y
and while it gives him kindred look
to that great colonel, wko led the
rough riders up San Juan hill; we
are of the private opinion that it will
help very little in a close brush with
the followers of Villa; but the mus
tache" will probably remain as an a
dornment to the upper lip of the cap
tain regardless Of our musings.
He reports all the boys in splendid
shape. but many of them have about
finished their schooling and are now
ready To return to the land of the APP
pie, the strawberry and the peach and
leave the cactus, the sand crabs and
the tarantulas to the Mexieans, and
those acquainted and accustomed to
their ways.
Company a will lose large num-
Der of men during the month of Janu-
airy, and unless the present recruiting
in Arkansas sends numerous men to
the local company, it will lose the
prestige so ably gained during their
present service. Captain Ownbey
anticipates that the entire guard of
Arkansas will b relieved Of border ser
vice in the early spring, and sent home
anyway the captain IS expressing
wholesome desire for such a move,
and he says like those of old: Lay
off McDuff, I've had enough.
