MADE NO ATTACK
ON STAT[ NORMAL
HODGES DENIES REPORT
BELIEVES NO UNAVOIDABLE
CONDITIONS EXIST AT
CONWAY SCHOOL.

That he has made no threat to
clean out the State Normal School,
as was reported last week in a Green
wood dispatch to the Arkansas Ga
zette, and that he believes no unfa-
vorable conditions exist in the Con-
way institution is the statement of
Secretary of State Earle w. Hodges
IN letter to the editor of the Log
Cabin Democrat. The Greenwood re-
port of his speech at that place
caused much comment at Conway. as
the efficient and harmonious manage
ment of the Normal since its estab-
ishment here is a matter of great
pride to the citizens of this CITY.
During the nearly eight years of its
existence there has never been any
charge or suspicion of mismanage-
ment, disorder or extravaganza at
the Normal. Each succeeding session
of the legislature has given the insti-
tuition a clean bill Of health and it
has achieved the reputation of being
the only state institution whose
budgets have not been reduced by
the legislature, it being admitted on
all sides that the requests for funds
were limited to the actual necessities
and that its appropriations have
been carefully and wisely expended
On account of these facts, when
the Greenwood dispatch appeared
the editor of the Log Cabin Democrat
wrote Mr.. Hodges and inquired if he
was correctly quoted in the news
paper story. On account of his
absence from his office, reply was
delayed, but before leaving to resume
his campaign yesterday, Mr.. Hodges
wrote as follows:
Little Rock, Ark. Jan. 10, 1916.
Hon. Frank E. Robins, Conway, Ark
Dear Sir and Friend On my re-
paign in western Arkansas, | find
your letter Of the 5th instant relating
to my address at Greenwood last
week, reference to which was pub
lished in the Gazette on the 4th in
slant. The Gazette's report of the
speech stated that | said it was my
intention upon assuming the COVER
norship, to clean out the State Nor
NAL and State University of certain
interests which are not working for
the good Of the state"
Il made no such statement what
ever in my speech at Greenwood, nor
at any other place. did say. how
ever, that it was reported that there
were certain interests at the Univer-
sity of Arkansas which were not
working for the good of the state,
that if | found upon investigating
same that such was true, would
endeavor to correct such conditions,
and that if the same conditions
should be true of any other institu-
ton of the state (the agricultural
schools, the State Normal or any of
the charitable institutions) those con-
ditions would be corrected. | did not
single out any particular institution
not even the State University-as
having a condition there now such as
referred to.
From what | know of the State
Normal, it is my belief that no such
conditions exist in that institution.
your friend,
Earle w. Hodges

GOLDEN WEDDING
Is JOYOUS OCCASION

On Monday January 10, was cele-
brated the tiftieth anniversary of a
wedding of unusual interest which
took place at Austin a few months
after the close Of the civil war. The
groom, John d. Dunaway, ST.. had
served with honor to claim his sweet
heart, Miss Emma Blackwood, whose
love and cheering messages had made
the dangers of war at least bearable.
ms marriage united two prominent
pioneer families. Mrs. Dunaway's
ancestors were from Tennessee, and
Mr., Dunaway's from South Carolina
Both were Scotch-Irish. The wed
ding took place at the home of the
bride on January 10, 1866, Rev
George Forbes saying the ceremony
The bride was beautiful girl and
wore pearl colored Irish poplin over
the then popular "hoops.' The groom
wore pulled bosom shirt and long
rock coat. Judge Blackwood, a
brother of Mrs. Dunaway, and her
nephew, Chas NJ. Conner, who wit
messed the wedding ceremony so
years ago, were present at the cele-
bration. The wedding breakfast was
served after which the bride and
groom went on horseback 25 miles.
where they were met by many friends
who had made ready for the in
fair"
Mr.. Dunaway told his children an
amusing story about the wedding
journey.
While the couple were en- route
from the wedding breakfast to the
Unfair, the horse he was riding
baked and delayed the party sew
eral hours. Finally a farmer came
along leading mule, and Mr.. Dun
away traded for it and the happy
couple went on their way.
At the wedding dinner everything
good was served in the greatest
abundance and topped off by pound
cake and Silly bub" which was so
popular in those days. The couple
then moved to their home 10 miles
east Of Conway where they lived for
81 years, then moved to Conway
where they have lived 20 years, living
daily as if life were lent for noble
deeds only. From this home has
gone out such godly influence and
gentle radience, kindness to all that
only eternity can measure its worth.
Eight children blessed this union-all
of whom are living. Fourteen grand
children brighten and sweeten the
days with their promise of "some-
thing better than they have known"
achievements and success unthought
of in the old days.
A very elaborate but informal af-
falr had been planned, but owing to
Mr.. Dunaway's failing health only
the family and near neighbors were
present Mr.. and Mrs. Dunawav re
celved many handsome gifts, letters
of congratulations and kilograms.
The gift from the children was a bag
of gold, The dinner was served at
the home of l.. S. Dunaway. The
wedding cake, presented by DR.. and
Mrs. W. c. Dunaway, was iced beau
tifuily and glistened with old time
rock candy. The cake weighed IA
pounds. Four white symbolic doves
at on each corner, and the large let
tiers in gold We're "Blackwood and
Dunaway, 1866-1916." Mr.. Dunaway
was the first to cut the cake and he
was surprised to find gold double
ring engraved From ]. d. D. to f.
T. B." He placed the ring on the
left hand of his bride of so years
ago.
1t was one of the most beautiful
and joyous occasions ever seen in
