"BONE DRY."

We think the legislature has played us a low down trick. Why couldn't they have given hs week to prepare for the long drouth? How do you ex- pect us to taper off? Of water? There is not much hope from bootleggers, because under the present law the practice is dangerous. You can't ship it in; you can't go out and bring it in. The outlook is indeed gloomy. We have discussed ways and means with some of our friends who will miss the mornings morning most, and there doesn't seem a ray of hope anywhere. AS We see it now, we are simply go- ing to nave to quit, do without as it were. Think of it. True we will have more to spend on our families more tc put in the bank, but what of that.

A HORRIBLE CRIME.
Zette.

Three yocng men were tried in Ash down last week, and given life sen- tences on charges of assaulting two negro girls.
 It is assumed there were no errors in the trial and the men are guilty.
 And it is safe to assume this is true, because the preponderance of senti- ment must have been on their side.
 It would be hard for jury of white men to find them guilty if they were not guilty.
 and the girls had been white girls there never would have been any trial. and perhaps there should not have been any trial.
 But the crime is no less shocking, because the girls were black and the perpetrators white.
 Locked at in any way it is revolting, and the jury that gave the men life's sentences did the right thing.
 It has too often been the case that such crimes under circumstances have been hushed up, when if the status of the victim and the criminals has been reversed they would have been sure ,f swift punishment
 It speaks we'll for the country, that we can condemn men of our own race quite as freely as those of an alien race for the same crime. and our friends at the north. cannot say that we punish negroes for the commission of crimes that we wink at when per pttuated by white man.-The Arkan- SaS News

DEATH OF JULIA ATTAWAY
Little Daughter of MT. and Mrs. M. J.
 Attaway Died Tuesday.

Julia Attaway was the younger dau- ghter of MT. and Mrs. Moses Attaway. She was born July the 18th, 1910, and died January 23rd, 1917.
 The body was carried back to Ben Lomond. and was buried there We'd nesday afternoon, January 24th. at D. m. Quite large number of friends and relatives attended the funeral service This service was conducted by J. E. Brown of Ashdown.
 Julia was little girl who was loved by all who knew her. She was loved because she was lovable. Her think ing and disposition was that of girl who was older in years than she. Her parents moved from Ben Lomond to Ashdown about the first of December, 1916. About one week after they mov- ed Julia contracted pneumonia. This caused an abscess to develop on hel lungs After some weeks of severe suffering. death came to her relief. The patience and cheerfulness mani fested during her illness was remark able for child of her age. She made brave fight for life, but did not fear death AS she had never been phy- sically strong child, we feel that she has been transplanted from this un- congenial cline to land of sunshine and joy, where she may be free from all that would bring suffering and sorrow, and may enjoy all the riches of Heaven. With the coming of death she has entered into the fullness of life. While her father. mother. sister and ether relatives and loved ones will sadly miss her, may they realize that their loss is her gan. Heaven has been made more attractive be- cause of her going. May the God of love and grace, give to the bereaved ones, His comforting spirit and sus- taining grace in full measure.

CRIME IN LITTLE RIVER COUNTY.

A sudden outbreak of crime in Little River county during the recent past gave that county advertising that some patriotic citizens may have considered undesirable, but the energy with which the officers and the courts took hold of the situation more than coun- terbalanced any bad effect the crimes might have produced Discussing the matter the Little River News says:
 "The people of Little River county do not feel dismayed, neither do, they feel dishonored in reviewing the long record of convictions by our recent court. Rather we have cause for con- gratulations that the law has proven ample and supreme to avenge itself upon the guilty"
 The Little River News takes the proper stand There are people who desire to cover up such things in the mistaken belief that publicity at such times is hurtful.
