JOHN FLUCKlCER
 DIES Al ACE OF 72

Caney, Jan. live are sorry to announce that the angel of death wis ited our neighborhood on Saturday,, January 8, and took from us our friend and neighbor, John Fluckiger. He was taken sick three weaks ago with la grippe, which developed into pneumonia and on Saturday he pass ed away like little child going to sleep He was 72 years old. His wife died over two years ago and he was always anxious to join her in that home beyond the clouds.
 He was member of the Lutheran church and his pastor, Rev. Doope of Little Rock, was here and preached the funeral sermon Sunday at the family residence. The burial took place at Oak Grove cemetery at Con- way.
 Mr. Fluckiger leaves three daugh- ters, Mrs. J. L. Phillips, Mrs. Fred Dussex and Miss Ida Fluckiger. to mourn his loss. All were with him at the last, Miss Ida, who is teach ing in a female seminary in Missou- ri, having been summoned by phone. An old friend, Mrs. Clara Walder of Little Rock, was also present.
 MT. Fluckiger came here in 1883 and by his upright, honest life has made a host of friends who deeply sympathize with his daughters in their bereavement.
 Our school was dismissed last week on account of so many being sick with the la grippe
 Rev. E. F. Simmons and Rev. Parks will preach at Caney next Sunday at ? o'clock.
 Bad colds, bad roads and la grippe is our chief complaint.

OLDER BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at forty, is sound advice, because in the strength of middle life we too often forget that neglected colds, or careless treat ment of slight aches and pains, simply undermine strength and bring chronic weakness for later years.
 To be stronger when older, keep your blood pure and rich and active with the strength building and blood-nourishing properties of Scott's Emulsion which is a food, tonic and medicine to keep your blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's.

DONACHEY NOT IN
 GOVERNORS RACE
RUMOR WAS UNFOUNDED
GOVERNOR DENIES REPORT THAT HE WOULD
 BE CANDIDATE.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
 A rumor to the effect that he was preparing to enter the race for gov ernor of Arkansas, which gained wide circulation in his former home town during the past few days, was unequivocally denied by former Gov- ernor George w. Donaghey in a state ment to the Log Cabin Democrat to- day. Mr. Donaghey came up from Little Rock this morning to attend the annual meeting of the Faulkner County Bank, of which he is one of the principal stockholders.
 Mr. Donaghey said he had had nu- merous solicitations from many of the leading men of the state to enter the governors race, especially since the withdrawal of former Congress- man Thomas c. McRael Many of these friends were kind enough to say that I could be elected without having to make a canvass of the state," Governor Donaghey stated. But you may say positively for me that l have entertained no thought of making the race and that shall not do so."
 Governor Donaghey said he was not actively interested in the present race for governor and did not indi- cate whom he would support. He said, however, that he still expected to be candidate for the United States, senate to succeed Senator Joe T. Robinson. "I announced that in- tention some time ago." said Mir. Donaghey, land I have made no change in my plans. However, it is of course too early to begin that race"

CALLED GATE OF THE SAHARA
CITY Of Tripoli is for Many Reasons
Well Worth a Visit From the
Traveller.

Tripoli Is the last Of the great old
trading ports where the desert meets
the sea. She Is the hub of a sprawllng
wheel, whose spokes are caravan
routes striking through the great
Sahara and shipping lines that radl-
nte over the Mediterranean.
Ships steam irfPO the harbOr eau
tiously, feeling their way behind the
protecting crescent headland that
shuts out gales from the north, for
the water Is shallow and studded
with sand bars. To the right the old
city rises from the waters edge In
series OF green terraces, where the
homes of the wealthy stand In their
gardens. To the left Is the NOLAN
medan quarter, with Its domes and
minarets.
The heart of Tripoli Is In the
mosques, the beauty of Tripoli In the
oasis and the explanation of Tripoli
I'm the great market There you see
n motley concourse of traders from all
northern Africa-Arabs, Turks, Ital-
ians, Egyptians, Negroes, Jews. They
sit or stand by their stacked wares
and barter after the custom of the
immemorial East, where time Is no OBJ
ject and conversation with all and
sundry one of the pleasures of life.
Trlpoli has two of the finest mosques
I'm Africa, but the admission Of Chris.
tians Is not encouraged. II is worth
all the trouble, however, and all the
black looks you will get from the
loungers at the gateways to see the
Grand Mosque. 1t is arranged with
the simplicity that characterizes the
temples Of Islam--a bare court, q
niche toward Mecca, a latticed booth
for the women, and the sultan's box
but the proportions, the sweep Of the
thanking archways that end sharply
against sheer tiled walls, are beauti
fully restful and harmonious.
There Is mild thrill Of adventure
in penetrating thus into the sacred
place OF hostile race and creed
There Is new sensation, too, in feel
ing that the very touch Of your foo
Is regarded by many Of those wh'
watch you ms sacrllege and n de
