Next Lyceum Number
 January 18th

Word has been received from the Dixie Lyceum Bureau that the Hettie Jane Dunnaway Go, which is the third number of our lyceum course, will be here on Tuesday, Jan. 18th. This num- Der promises to be one of the most pleasing of the entire course. Miss Dunnaway has appeared here number of times and always delights her audi ence Instead of appearing in single role as on previous occasions, she is this year starring in the "Red Ram bier, " a drama in four acts which was written especially for her and MT. Sewell The production met with re markable success in New York last summer, and during a three months run there, was witnessed by many ly- ceum and chautauqua managers, with the result that all the company s time for this year and next was sold early last fall
 The play is said to be a romance of rare power, full of unique and humor ous situations. and Is greatly enhanced by the carefully chosen costumes and especially selected music.
 Tickets for this number will be sold for 75c for adults and 35c for children.

That Income Tax

It will require a small army of men to take the income tax returns of per sons subject to the new law.
 Collector of Internal Revenue Jack Walker has announced that p officers will start from his headquarters in Lit tie Rock on January lst and on j Janu ary 2nd every one of them will be on the job in the county assigned him. to meet the people and help them make out their income tax returns. The off cer assigned to this county is due to arrive here on Feb II, l9le. and to re main until Feb 2S. 1918, both dates in elusive. He will have his office in Lake Village in the Court house, where he may be found every day of the dates stated.
 "It will be well for every unu arried person whose net income for l9l7 is Sl. GOO or over. and every married per son living with wife or husband whose net income for 1917 is s, 900 or over to call on the income tax man and learn whether CT not they have any tax to pay. Collector Walker said The person subject to tax who doesn { make return in the time prescribed IS going to regret it. The Government will get after all income tax slackers.
The Dermott news., 1918-01-03

There's hardly a business man, merchant or professional man who won't have to make return of income. Farmers, as a class, will have to pay the tax The safe thing to do is for every person who had a total income of Sl ,0OO or $2. 000 as the case may be, and who Is not sure about the deduc tions the law allows him, to play it safe by calling on the income tax man.
 The man in the field will have forms for everybody and persons who expect to call on him need not trouble them selves to write to my office for forms. "

1918?

A good commencement always helps and encourages to make good ending. The new year 1918 has broken into the history of our individual lives as we'll as the history of the world. We can all determine in the introduction of this new chapter of our life's history what the conclusion will be, for every one of us will write his own chapter.
 As We look over the chapter that has just closed lets take parting look. Is each page and every chapter clean, and every statement positive and clear and void of suspicion, and are we proud of our work or ashamed of it? Or in other words. have We played the game of life in 1917 clean and fair?
 As we enter 1918 let's make good commencement by determining to live big life of helpfulness and start by getting into q right relationship with God. with our fellow men and with ourselves. To do this rightly attenI church next Sunday and don't forget the bright. brief and brotherly services in Dermott's popular, homelike church, the Presbyterian Church.

Dermott Helps
 In This Waste

At the request of the Arkansas State Council of Defense. of which Gen. Lloyd England is chairman. we are giv ing publicity to the following para graphs:
 During the year 1916. the railroads of Arkansas killed enough meat animals on their rights of way to feed an army of 433, 300 for one week In the last three years, the railroads of Arkansas, Missouri, and Louisiana killed q total of l2f 596 head of live stock, including enough meat animals to furnish meat for an army of l,500. GOO men for one month.
 This can in large measure be pre- vented by more stringent laws against permitting stock to run at large. A. II. Mansfield, Claims Attorney for the Missouri Pacific, says: The economic waste does not stop with this. We read that in Germany soldiers killed in battle are being transported to reduc- tion plants because of the shortage of fats. If we should read in the daily papers that an alien enemy had de- stroyed at some of our large stock yards enough meet supply to care for half a million of our troops for one week, our anger would know no bounds. Yet such loss is going on in Arkansas and in other states every year. and up to the present time has

OBJECTED TO CUSTOM
Observance Of Thanksgiving Was
for a Period Not Popular
in Southern States.

TN the South Thanksgiving day was
practically unknown until 1855. In
that year Governor Jones of Vir-
ginia sent a letter to the state legis-
lature urging q recognition Of the day
that he might issue a proclamation for
its observance; but he was advised
that as most Of the citizens Of the
state regarded this day as "a relic Of
Puritanic bigotry," he ought not to
urge its observance.
Two years later Governor Wise, the
successor of Jones, without asking ad-
vice Of the legislature, issued a proc
lamation, and the people, generally
throwing aside their prejudice, OBJ
served the day.
In the next year, 1858, eight COVER
n0rs Of southern states issued procla-
nations after the model OF New Eng
land, calling upon their people to OBJ
serve the last Thursday in November
as a day for thanksgiving. But the
Civil war was at hand, and the bit
terness engendered in the long contro-
versy ove slavery caused many vio-
lent opponents Of the North to oppose
the proclamation, because Of the in
PRODUCTION Of a yankee custom"
Undoubtedly s1ddf present Thanksgiv-
ing day has its prototype in the Ply
mouth thanksgiving festival Of 1921.
It has been asserted repeatedly that
the Plymouth festival was suggested to
the Pilgrims by the Jewish "Feast Of
Ingathering." "a
Il the Plymouth festival has imme-
date kinship with similar events in
the past, it has analogies with the har-
vest home Of England The Pilgrims
were familiar with the English cele-
bration, and many Of them, no doubt,
had participated in 1t. The dominant
mark Of each was the JOY owe the in
gathering harvest.
The chief difference between the two
was the want Of ceremony at Plymouth
that characterized the English festi-
val. In some parts Of England the
merrymaking was around the mod.

many places the last load Of the har-
vest.was drawn to the barn in q wagon
called the "hoch Cart, In front went
pipe and tabor, and around It gathered
the reapers, men and women, sinxing
joyously as they proceeded. AT Ply
mouth there was no ceremony. There
was no harvest song 9 o familiar In
