the student paying q nominal sum to
defrAy expenses.
The expenses of the school this
year will be met by public contrIbu-

MRS. FANNIE ROBERTSON

Mrs. Fannie Roberson, was born near Nashville, Tenn, January 6, 1852 and came to Arkansas with her parents at the age of five years and settled at Tulip, Dallas County, Arkansas. She was married in 1871 to Rev. o. c. Robertson, who. died in 1884.
 To this union was born one child Clara, who later became the wife of Rev. R. L. Broach, then a member of the Little Rock Conference.
 Mrs. Robertson was probably one of the best known women of the state having been connected with the Arkansas School for the Blind for 27 years as matron and was head mother of that institution at the time of her death, which occurred August the 1st at the home of her daughter in the town of Hope, Arkansas.
 The life of this good woman was not lived in vain as many will testi- fy here and there all over the coun- try.
 The writer only met Mrs. Robertson few times and that at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Broach, and al- ways found her to be charitable in her speech.
 In her manners she was sweet and gracious, always revealing the tender ness and sympathy of her generous nature. She was known for her kindness to the poor and unfortunate.
 The ills and woes of others touched her heart and she was ever ready to respond as far as she was able with an open hand and loving heart. No doubt in the great day that is to be many will rise up and call her blessed.
 Sister Robertson came of a long line of Methodist stock, and her home was often the home of the tired Methodist preacher.
 The ascended one is survived by her daughter, three grand children, one brother and one sister, and other rel atives.
 It was in the home of her devoted daughter, Mrs. Clara Breach, that she spent her last days, and from which the angels of God bore her liberated spirit to the mansions of light on the evening of August 1st. 1917. l During her stay of 27 years in the Blind school she made many friends. The inmates of that institution loved her as they would their own mother. Those sightless eyes one day will be permitted to look upon their bene- factress in that land where there is no blindness.
 To the lonely, and devoted daughter let me say, Mother is gone but not dead. She is safe in the House of many mansions, there to wait your coming.
 Be faithful few days more and mother and daughter will be reunited where parting will be no more.
 Sister Robertson was laid to rest Ein the little graveyard at Hunters Chaple, in Dallas County, in the pres. ence of large company of sorrow ing friends and relatives by the side of the companion of her girlhood days
 May God bless all who mourn hel going is the prayer of one who has mourned the loss of mother.
 Rev. J. H. McKelvy, Prof. J. H Hinemon, and the Teacher of music in the School for the Blind and his wife, with the writer took part in the service at the little church by the road side.

COUNTY BOARD
 HAS BUSY DAY
Hot Spring County Men Make Good Showing Out of B Examined at Noon Today Only Seven Had Been Physically Disqualified.

The Hot Spring county Selective Board had busy day in examining the men summoned for the selective draft. They started early this morn ing, and will no doubt work late into l the night.
 At noon the Board had examined B and out of this number only seven had been rejected on account of physi- cal disqualification. Some few how ever, were passed on temporarily, and their cases will be considered later.

 Dr J. W. Williams stated that he had never seen a more loyal set of men, than those who have presented themselves for the examination today. There seems to be no slaekers or shirk CTS in the bunch, and all want to do their whole duty and assist the board in every way possible. They are men that Hot Spring county should we'll feel proud of" he stated to repre- sentative of this paper.
 Sheriff J. E. Stanley stated that none who were summoned had failed to answer to their names, and he feels sure that the draft law will be carried out in Hot Spring county to the letter.
 The Board has the work we'll in hand, and from the large amount of work they are doing, will no doubt complete the examination as early as any county Board in the state.
 The question of exemptions, other than physical, is not being taken up by the Board today, but each man, who is examined, if he desires is given an exemption blank, and these will be filed with the Board later, and will be passed on.

Shaking Up 18th Infantry
Col. Hewlett, New Commander,
Working TO Rejuvenate Regt.

A general shake-up in the 14th Infan-
try, New York National Guard, has
been undertaken by its new commander,
Colonel James Redmond Hewlett, who
a month ago was jumped from captain
of Troop Z, 1st Cavalry, to his present
post.
Many of the old officers have re-
signed, and their places in several cases
have been taken by former members of
the 1st Cavalry. A rejuvenation of the
regiment is said to be the inspiration
for Colonel Howlett's housekeeping.
Stories that many officers and men are
disgruntled at the shifts are declared
untrue.
New company commanders and lieu
tenants may be seen in more than half
of the company rooms. Among the
changes are the designations of Captain
Oscar Carlson, Company G; Captain
Albert Clements, Company X; Captain
