OBITUARY
JOHN TWEEBER.

We were all made sad last Thurs day when we were told that the death angel had called the dearly beloved mother and grandmother, Mrs. Cor neia Vinson.
 Mrs. Vinson was born in Georgia April 12, 1855 At the age of seven she moved to South Carolina, from where she moved to East Texas, and at the age of fifteen she was married to Henry c. Vinson. She died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Bessie Speer at the age of seventy-one years, nine months, seven days, January 19, 1917.
 She was the mother of nine chil- dren, five of whom are dead and four are living. Those living are Mrs. Lela Archer of Naples, Texas, Mrs. Mary Johnson and Mrs. Bessie Speer of Prescott, Arkansas Mir. Charlie Vim son of Red River county, Texas.
 She came to Prescott, Nevada county, Arkansas, in the year 1915 She made her home with her daughter, Mrs. Speer.
 She was united with the Cumberland Presbyterian church at the age of twelve.
 She lived a true Christian life. She was only sick few days when she

STILL WITH THE CAMELS.

Since my article appeared in the Daily News of last week, 1 have had numerous inquiries from parties all over the country wanting to know if I was still at large.
 One one Geyser who lives in Kan sas wanted to know if my article was a weather forecast; said if it was we had better make arrangements for irrigating. Another old reprobate, a friend of mine, who has been in hiding for some time, and whom 1 thought was in the Legislature, wanted to know if my article was a report of the grand jury, or writ of certiorarl.
 Now the hardest jolt l got was from one Reuben, which one I can't say, as the woods are full of "Rubes." How ever, this Rube thought my article was bone-dry measure that l was trying to get through the Legislature, so he proceeded to lambast me with divers and sundry threats, said that I ought to be waited from the state on morning wings" to seek job with old Belzebub. Now this old Rubicus is batty, or he never would have gotten morning wings" in his belfry. I can prove by one-half of the people who read my article that it was not a dry-bone measure at all, and the other half who tried to read it, will certify to the fact that it was petition to try to keep me out of the pen.
 Now, whereas, be it resolved that Reuben diversity, or in the language of the Legislature, "cut it out," and go in training with Tweezer and the camels.

 Mir. Giles being called, spoke of the general work of the League and urged lothers to join.
 MT. H. B. Mckenzie was called and gave very encouraging talk on the work already accomplished by the Epworth League.

 The audience was then dismissed with the League benediction.

JUST 10 YEARS AGO TO-DAY.

On the 29th day of January, 1877, I began the first school I ever taught, at old Mt. Pisgah church, II miles south of Prescott. L. c. Purtle Bas- sett Bright, H. L. Bright, John Easter ling, D. F. Garrett, Drury Fore, Dave Fore, Dr. A. D. Wren and many others l could recall were my patrons. It gives my heart great joy to recall these great men, their wives and their children. But it makes hot tears fill my eyes when l remember that all of the old and many of the young of that day are gone hence to return no more. They were kind to mel love their memory. May God bless their chil- dren and grandchildren.
 Yours on the road to Heaven,

entered the portal of eternal bliss where no sorrow ever comes.
 We cannot say she is dead-only gone on before to home prepared for all who lived and died in such faith as she did. We have lost dear friend. We realize our loss is Heavens eternal gain. While we would like to have her with us we would not call her back to this world of sin and sorrow.
 Besides the children she leaves a host of relatives and friends to mourn her death.
 The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Cannon of Emmet, at the Ephisis cemetery, near Emmet, Ne vada county, Arkansas, in the pres ence of a large crowd of relatives and friends.

Especially good is East Elm street. This sreet Der. haps received better treatment than any other in the city and, if the amount of money expended for this was not too great, every street in the business section of Prescott should re. ceive a similar treatment this spring
 J. K. Hamilton, who recently took over the holdings of J. K. Hamilton & Company, will continue the business at the old stand, on West Front street. Mir.

He has been engaged in the mercan- tile business here for 36 years, and during this long period of time he has satisfactorily transacted business with 9 greater number of the citizens of Prescott and Nevada county. He is very popular among his business as- sociates, and his large number of pat rons are his real friends. More busi- ness men like MT. Hamilton would make this a better and bigger place.

FELL CRUMLEY.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 29.-The federal appropriation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918, of $10,000,- 900 to aid the States in the construc- tion of rural post roads has now been apportioned among the several States by the secretary of agriculture in ac- cordance with the terms of the Fed eral Aid Roads Act. Before making the apportionment, the secretary, in accordance with the provisions of the act, deducted per cent of the appro- priation, or $300000, to meet the cost of administering the act. The remain ing $9,700,000 has been divided among the States as the act prescribes-one- third in the ratio of area, one-third in the ratio of population, and one-third in the ratio of mileage of rural deliv- cry routes and star routes. Appor- tioned on this basis the money is divided as follows:
