 Mir. Blhngsworth married Miss Mary Millington, of Richland County, Illinois. on March 29, 1859, before joining the army. They were blessed with three daughters, two of whom are still living, one being the wife of D. B. Perkins, while the younger is still living with her father at home. He recently sold the former Carlisle home to Mir. Reed and bought the place where he is now living, con- taining about three acres.
 During his life in this county. Mr. Eliingsworth has not aspired to pub lie office of any kind, but was one of the most progressive school directors his district ever had, in addition to which he served six years as District Road Overseer, in order to secure the best roads he could for this section. He has always been a successful Aot otA4tSA ditu IdlSSu tUe U6St O1 every thing. He took the bronze prize for the quality of his wheat at the St. Louis Worlds Fair and has over 250 ribbons of First and Second Prizes taken at fairs all over this section, as well as in Arkansas State Fairs for the past 20 years. He also took prizes at the State Fair at Memphis.
 Everybody in Carlisle and this sec tion or the state know Mir. Filings worth and many have followed his advice in business and farming enter prises so well that they have acquired competences for themselves. He is admittedly one of the best liked men living in the community, is loved by his many intimate friends, and al- ways glad to meet new people coming here either to live, or just on busi- mess or pleasure.
 Mir. Ellingsworth is believed to be the biggest Liberty Bond holder in Lonoke county. He now has $6,200 worth of bonds, and his limit, S1 ,000 in War Savins Stamps, in addition to which he has contributed largely to the Red Cross.

 during the winter when he was not occupied with the crops on his farm
 He bought saw mill and operated it as winter sideline for l i years. in the meantime investing all he could in land until he had increased his holdings to 4S0 acres He improved
 300 acres of this land and cultivated lit to corn, wheat, potatoes, peas grass, in addition to which he usual ly had about 35 to 60 head of cattle At one time he had a herd of AZ head of fine Red Pole cattle. In handling his stock to the best advan- tage, Mir. Ellingsworth would market cattle from time to time, but made it rule to keep the calves for future stock, in addition to which he would frequently replenish his herd by buy ing other stock
 When MT. Ellingsworth retired from the active work of farming seven years ago, he sold his farm and in order to secure the best re- turns from his stock, held a public auction sale, at which people from all over this section secured registered cattle, fine horses and other stock The farm was mile and half from Carlisle and was one of the best known large farms in this section.
 MT. Ellingsworth is taking especial interest in the progress of the pres ent war, as he was for three years in the army himself, having enlisted in the fall of '62 in Illinois, and serv- ing until the close of the civil war During his service in the war, he was in a number of hard fought battles, taking part in the battle at Hoover's $ Gap, Tennessee, the battle Of Chicka- mauga, and all the battles of the campaign from Chattanooga, Tennes- see to Atlanta, Georgia, when bat tie was fought every day for three months. His last big fight was at Selma, Alabama, when he was wounded and left in confederate hospital, where he remained until the close of the war.
 After coming to the south, Mir. Ellingsworth remained staunch and in this connection he bears the distinction of having cast his first vote for Abraham Lincoln. while serving in the army. The vote was cast on the battle line near Rome, Georgia. The Indiana troops were allowed to vote and as the s',...o:s regiments were stationed with -ss..i, some of the boys just stepped

All Effective Var
Weapons are Created
Since Conflict Began
(Editorial)


In the light of the actual facts The Ardmorelte has
no patience with the bowling demagogue or partson
who is ALWAYS bemoanng the fate of this country in not
getting into the war and total lack of prepared
ness.
None is to blame at all for the tardy entrance into
the but the people of the country at large who would
not bring themselves proper realization OF the serious
ness of what has become world war; and many OF whom
have never been fully awakened.
When it comes to matter of preparedness let us
consider the fact that only weapon MANUFACTURED py
this country has been found to meet the requirements or
the war France which possessed world Of equipment
at the outset has scrap heap of stuff which cost over
i've hundred millions of dollars, made up of cannon and
other ordnance just good as it ever was but utterly u
fitted for the of high explosives Every weapon IN
use has been developed since the war began
The arpane problem has been one of the greatest,
and has seen many changes. lhe most successlu ma
chine at the front today is the development OF the last SIX
months Machines made previous to that period are be-
ing rapidly discarded
Our aircraft board is subject criticism for its waste
of time in irving to create rather than to build and It's et
fort to accomplish the impossible the STANDARDIZATION of
machines something which is utterly impossible in view
of the rapid changes which are taking place
The one arm of American manufacture which has
been found without peer in its particular field OF effort
the moving down of ranks of is the Lewis machine
gum which was adopted by Belgium among the first and
which as made by the Allies has proven Its continued
worth The manufacture of this gun for the American
army was opposed by Crozer but he has been retired
1t is matter of knowledge at the front that
the Lewis gun more than the British forts or heavy art-
ery has been responsible for keeping back the Huns IN
their drives
The American people prone to criticise the men
in charge of our war preparations for the mistakes for
which they are to extent at least responsible but
thev do not take into consideration that literally every
man who was first called to take charge or handling the
war for the Allies failed and retired There must be
more retrements but they will about from the IN
side rather than from the outside the public can only
know one side of the question, whereas the intimate
knowledge of the acts of various divisions of the war
work are only known to the executives.
Summing up the whole proposition, it is only just to
say at this time that the progress in raising and equip
ping an army in the building of ships and the produc-
ton of supplies has been much more rapid than was the
case with great Britain at least and the continued prog
ress of this work should be matter OF congratuation
the part of the people rather than OF partisan cflt
cism
Two million American soldiers in France next spring
will win the war in six months 1t is to that end that eV
erv effort should be eXerted at this time
