A satisfied customer is one of the
best assets of a store.
Like the bread, in the proverb,
which, "cast upon the waters will re-
turn a thousand fold" so a satisfied
patron will not only come again, but
will send others.
That is only ONE OF the reasons
why we are constantly aiming to
keep our customers absolutely salts
fed with our merchandise and our

Another reason is that 1t is just as
easy to give heed to the pleasing of
our customers as 1t would be to for

One of the most enjoyable affairs
ever given by the Golden Belt Social
club was the Halloween party at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. William Neeiey
east of town. All the guests were
masked and the judges awarded the
prize to Mrs. Scurlock for the best
Halloween costume. On arriving,
each party was shown thru the base
ment, dimly lighted with jack O.
lanterns, that cast weird shadows on
ghostly figures. The house was dec
grated with black cats and other Hal
lowe en- suggestions. Games, music
and contests furnished entertainment
for the evening. Prizes were award
ed Mrs. Toulouse in a cranberry con-
test and Harry Sprinkle in a ball
throwing contest. At late hour ex-
cellent refreshments were served, and
all departed for their homes, thank
ing the host and hostess and daugh-
tiers for their charming hospitality.

Little Rock, Ark, March With out dissenting vote, the house of representatives this evening adopteed q resolution referring all matters in connection with indictment of Rep resentatizes Meadors back to the courts This action was taken after the house special investigation eem- mittee had rendered it's report.
 The report was to the effect that Claude Ringo, of Little Rock, who testified that he had known Meadors for thirty years, and knew his repu- tation to be good. declared Meadors had told him he (Meadors1 would vote for=the Sunday base ball bill, in which =Rineo was interested, if Rin- go would negotiate for him loan of one hundred dollars.
 Rineo said he told an acquaintance Of the proposition, mentioning no names. Ringo planes the person to whom he told the incident for telling
 of 1t to the grand jury which indict- ed Meadors on charge of soliciting a bribe. The name of Ringo's acquaint ance was not mentioned in the report.
 Meadors flatly denied Rineo's statement, and declared he was al- ways against the baseball bill. He said he told Robert Allen, head of the Little Rock baseball club, that he hated to keep accepting Aliens invita- tions to ride to and from the capitol in Aliens automobile, because he was going to vote against the bill. He said he might have mentioned to Rim go he needed $100 to pay past due and pressing note, but asserted he only did so because Ringo had always been his friend, and not for infleaehce on the bill.
 Ringo was the only person testify ing against Meadors. who admitted he had tried to borrow $lo0 from sev- eral Little Rock people. He declared the sudden illness of his wife had run up his expenses and prevented him f.o,,a ravin@ the hunared doHare deh' due last month

MRS. MYRTLE BYRD
In Memory of Mrs. Myrtle Byrd, Daughter of Mir. and 3lrs. ]. H.
 Stone, of Sonora, Arkansas.

Myrtle Stone was born and reared in this neighborhood near Sonora. On December p, 1898, she was un- tied in marriage to Gonley Byrd, and to this union was born two children. Harold, who is eleven years old, and Delma, now five.
 She moved to California about ten years ago. where she continued to live until about one year ago. She fell a victim to goitre, while living in Porterville, Calf, and not being able to work and support herself, and little Delma, her brother Pearl if nanced her through almost the whole year of 1916. When her case baffled the skill of several of the best doctors in Portervile, she started home hop ing that the change would help her. She grew worse, and she was told to 20 to santarium at Blackwell, Okla. and when she failed to get any better there, she went to Oklahoma City to a hospital. and failing to get any benefit from medicine she rather insisted on an operation. The opera tion was performed on February 27 this year, and she never came out from under the influence of the anas- thetic.
 Her mother and sister Cora, brought her remains to Sonora, and we buried her in our family graveyard by the side of her little sister. She leaves a father, mother, two sisters, five brothers and host of friends to mourn her loss.
