We are reminded that there is now
new dog law in this state by reading
comment made in the Banner fifty
years ago after reporting a news item
about a rabid dog a large New Found
land. biting several people in Memphis.
Tenn. The editor said:
Mad dogs are becoming quite COM
mon throughout the country. In many
places serious and irreparable injury
is the consequence. We suggest that
our citizens begin cleaning out this
section of many of its worthless dogs
The dog nuisance is Il great grievance
| in this country. Worthless ours and
hounds prowl about rObbing poultry
yards and harraSSing stock. A little
powder and lead used occasionally
would not do any HARM
SO it is to he seen that the cur dog
running ut large was also nuisance
in that day.

Introducing Mr.. Dalrymple.

For more than three weeks past the
writer has been without help here i'll
the office in editing and publishing the
Banner. But another good man is on
the road to come here as successor
to Mr.. J. \. Thornton, who we think is
now in New Orleans. He will no doubt
reach Benton before this issue of the
Banner is off the press (this is writ
ten Wednesday afternoon1 for his last
from Fort Worth. Texas. reads: " Will
aUive in Shreveport late this after
noon. or tonight Mr.. Thornton left
Benton on May 10TH and in justice to
him it is explained that his successor
was expected on the 18th.
Our new man is Mr.. Archie ID. Dial
rymple. for several months past located
ut Ranger. Texas. i'll the big new Oil
field. where he was editor of the Ram
ger RccOId. Also. he is, of course. not
without other newspaper experience.
His home town is Llano. Texas locat-
ed in Llano County, i'll the western
portion of that state. There he first
entered a printing Office and served.
or began. his apprenticeship. Later
he worked on Il number of Texas
papers. and at the time the United
States entered the big war held Il good
Enterprise. also a daily. His duties
heretofore have been chiefly as re-
porter and editor. but he has written
that he would like such Il berth" as
the Banner offers and will he pleased
to resume his connection with the me-
chanical end of the calling after COM
ing here. In other words. he is ambi-
tious to thoroughly know the newspa-
per game.
AS Mr.. Dalrymple is Il young man.
the Banners patrons will he wonder
ing if lie had part in the big war.
He has written that he saw nineteen
months in the service, having vOlun-
teered soon after the outbreak of the
war. and that he gave up Il good posi-
ton to do SO.
However. as he is as yet as much Il
stranger to the writer as to the reader,
by way of better introducing him to
the Banners circle of friends we quote
from Il paragraph in his first letter to
the office: l am Southern born. and
reared by North Carolina Scotch par
entS. My grandfather was veteran
of the Texas Revolution. and my
father volunteered for service in the
Confederate Army when he was six
teen years old. All my traing has been

Much Of Mr.. Dalrymple's work will

we bespeak for him an open welcome

business and news tips YOU pass his
way.

MERRY MUSICAL COMEDY AT

Tuneful and merry, Come Along.
Mary" Harvey D. Orr's offering at
the Grand Opera house scored a
great success last night at the initial
performance of three-day run. The
show possesses real merit in quality
as we'll as quantity Of melodious songs
and witty dialogue.
The chorus of the attraction is all
that could be desired by the most
critical in grace and beauty. The GUS
tuning is rich and the scenic settings
of the play are artistic and true to
the parts of the world they repre-
sent.
The company is excellently balanc-
ed and it would be difficult to name
an individual star, but the antics of
Kenneth Christy, as Rufus M. Wash
ington in black face, stands out. Ru-
fus really is a show in himself and
undoubtedly deserves highest rank

AUTO THEFT BURDEN
TO ALL CAR OWNERS
INSURANCE RATES INCREASED
200 PER CENT. IN S YEARS BE-
CAUSE THEFTS INCREASE.

What does it cost you to have the
other fellows car stolen? Nothing?
That's where you are mistaken, for
the records of seven cities show that
car thefts have boosted theft insur-
ance rates 200 per cent. in the last
five years
Whether your own car was stolen
or not, whether it was stolen and you
got it back or lost it permanently,
the cost to the fellow whose car was
stolen ana the loss made good by
some insurance company is being
prorated at 200 per cent. over the
rates of five years ago.
Cities that border on two or more
states seem to be the most fertile
field of endeavor for the car thief,
who is not the lily of this or any 9TH
er field, for he tolls nightly to run
up his lifting average and spins when
necessary. Cars stolen in one state
are driven across the line, and the
state in which the car was stolen
cannot summon as witnesses the par
ties to whom the stolen cars are
sold. True, bill has been passed by
congress to make it federal offense
to steal car in one state and drive
it into another.
This bill has been indorsed by the
National Automobile Dealers Asso-
citation and should be supported by
owners as we'll as dealers as an at
tempt to alleviate the present condi
tons. Last year 900 worth of
cars were stolen in Chicago alone,
and only $1,954,000 worth recovered.
A balance of 1857, 900 in favor of the
car thieves. The year before the bal
ance was even more, $4,000.
1t might help some to reduce the
number of car thefts if owners
would be more careful in using their
locks.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
MRS. S. A. MURRAY
HER PASSING WAS A SHOCK TO
PEOPLE OF BRONWOOD. TRIB-
UTE TO A GOOD WOMAN.

Seldom has a death in our midst
caused the extreme sorrow of our
whole people as that of Mrs. S. A.
Murray, which occurred so suddenly
on the morning of Tuesday, October
2Sth.
Mrs. Murray was just in the prime
of life, being only twenty-nine years
of age, having been born in Bron-
wood on September 20, 1890. She
had been a devout member of the
Methodist church since about fifteen
years of age. She was the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. NJ. Arnold, and
was on January rs, 1912, married
to Mr.. S. A. Murray. She is survived
by her parents, her husband and lit
tie daughter, Eunice, aged six.
Her death came as distinct shock,
as she was young and apparently in
good health the day before. We are
oftentimes prepared for the depart
ure through deaths door of loved
ones who are aged or infirm. We
watch the ebb of life's receding tide
with emotions kindred to those with
which we see the sun sink behind the
western sky. In her death we are
brought face to face with the truth {:
"Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north
winds breath,
And stars to set-but all
Thou hast all seasons for thine own,
o Death"
1t could be truthfully said of Mrs.
Murray that to know her was to love
her While we know that one who
gave her life has seen fit to take it.,
and that it is not within our preroga-
tive to question the wisdom of His
will, we join with the bereaved par
ents, brothers and sisters, husband
and little daughter in mourning the
loss of her who by her pleasing dis
position and Christian character had
scattered sunshine along life's path
and among all so fortunate as to
know and be associated with her
Mrs. Murray was not stranger to
sickness, suffering and sorrow. But
the fact which makes her seemingly
untimely death extremely sad was
that she had only recently recovered
her former health, and life had again
begun to bring her new joys and
promises of many years of useful
ness and happiness. Then grim death
claimed her as his own.
While we grieve and mourn her
loss to US we at the same time rejoice
in the knowledge that she was pre-
pared to go, and all will be well with
her in "The land of pure delight"
"Gone to thy heavenly Fathers rest!
The flowers of Eden round thee
blowing;
And on thine ear the murmurs blest
Of Siloh's waters softly f1owing!
Beneath that Tree of Life which
gives
To all the earth it's healing leaves
And wandering by that sacred river,
Whose streams of holiness make
glad
The city of our God forever" * x
