AS SEEN BY OTHERS

The impression of Arkansas in
general, and this section in par.
ticular, of an Oklahaman who is
visiting relatives in Washington,
is reflected in a communication
published in his home paper, tho
Love County (Okla.) News, pub
lished at Marietta. The article
follows:
Washington, Ark, Nov. IA
Love County News,
Marietta, Okla.
The sun is in the east at the
opening of the day. and in the
west at the close. of ,stha. day, y
uuo ,art hi,ssts .s..r,ving IN harmony
by the order of the Grand Master
of the universe.
The oaks, gums and naples
and many other varieties of the
trees of the forest have discarded
their summer robes ard look to
be poorly prepared for the bliz-
yards of the coming winter. But
to counteract this seemingly un-
preparedness of their neighbors,
the stately pine and widespread
ing magnolia have increased their
foliage during the summer
months and are now dressed out
in their best dark green, ready
TO give protection to their unclad
neighbors.
You do not see as many autos
as you see in Marietta, but more
Jersey cows; not so many worth.
less dogs, but lots of fat hogs. |
do not believe a nation. wide invi-
tation to the homeless would be a
deception to say come to Arkan-
sas.
Washington is one of the old.
est towns in the state and the
early settlers were men of wealth
and many of their homes which
were built from ten to twenty
years before the Civil war are
good buildings today. 1t was
not uncommon for carpenters to
use one and two years in the
erection of one of these houses.
The lumber was sawed and left
in the rough at the mills, so every
piece was matched and dressed
by hand. The house where am
soiourning is one of these, and
the neatness of the workmanship
is interesting to me.
The farmers of this section
have been blessed with good
crops, and they go largely on the
diversifcation plan. Many peo
pie, white and black, were borr
here or near by and are now ole
men and women and seemingly
happy and contented. Unbound
ed kindness is the prevailing
trait of all. Washington is tn,
county site of Hampstead count,
and has one bank and ten o.
twelve business houses, two GIN
and one saw mill, three churches
and two school buildings.

ANARCHISTS AGAIN

Warning Not to Enlist and to Avoid Draft Distributed
FEDERAL OFFICIALS NOTIFIED
Damaging Evidence Secured By Pros- | ecutOr Gibney-Double Wedding To- i day-Rev. E. F. Lo,lnsbury Present.
 ed With Purse of Gold On Birthday.

After several weeks of inactivity. anarchists who arc believed to have their headqua rters in Kensington, have again como into the limelight. It be- came known today that literature urg- ing the Italian residents not to enlist and to try in every manner conceivable to avoid conHcription has. within the past few days, been distributed throughout the Italian quarters here.
 Ono of the circulars has been turned over to Prosecutor William Fl. Gibney. Losing no time. MT. Gibney wont to Hartford yesterday and placed tho evidence in tho hands of ! the Federal authorities.
 In speaking of tho latest outburst of tho band. MT. Gibney expressed surprise that nothing is being done in the matter by the federal authorities. Mir. Qibney said that he has secured sufficient evidence to warrant an ar- rest of several prominent Kensington Italians who are believed to be i'm plicated.
 ,, Tho handbi1ls MT. Gibney stated. are printed on excellent paper. When asked if he believed they were printed in Berlin, Mir. Gibney replied that he thought not.
 1t is thought by the local oflcials that the hnndbills were printed out side the state and brought here for distribution. The attention of Mr. ~Gfbney was first called to the fact that the bi1is were distributed in Berlin on Columbus Day. At this time an Italian residing in Remington notified Mr. 0ibney that three bills had bee., left at his homo. The bills were printed in tho Italian language. When translated 1t was found that they made n, fiery appeal to tho 1th1- lans of conscription age to avoid sarv- ing Uncle Sam. The handbill furthcr urged the conscripts to resort to. every conceivable method in order to get out Of service.
 Knowledge ef tho existence of nn annrchtstic orsnnizatio:1 hero has been in the hands of tha federal authorities for some time.
