While he never cared much for sport he rode a pony at seven years of age, and while at college hunted with beagles and was fond of fly fish ing. One day when he was home Sir Baden Powell came to the palace and he young Prince enjoyed his serious conversation over how things were go- ing in England for even at an early age he took British affairs very seri-

CLARENDON MAN
 DIES IN COLORADO
W. E. Spencer, Former Publish CT of Clarendon Sun, Dies in Colorado. Body Is i. Brought Back to CIar-
 endon for Burial.

At his home in Canyon City, Col, on Wednesday, July 23rd, W. E. Spencer, formerly pub fisher of the Clarendon Sun, died suddenly of an acute at tack of Bright's disease.
 MT. Spencer was forced to move from Clarendon to Col oradO in quest of health some IF years ago, and has been an exile, so to speak, from home and loving friends these several years.
 ', Spencer was my competitor
 -no, not that-my clever con- tenfporary, 1 should have said
 for fifteen years and 1 rem- eruDer 1im well, He was a fair, 'squale hitter, kind and con- siderate with 1t all.
 As a citizen Spencer stood for higher things of life, and was clean and aggressive in his fights against the wrongs, eff fecting our country and our people.
 Many time do I remember scrapping him for business but our competition never effected our friendship in the least and when he and his family were in Brinkley they were guests in my home and likewise when myself and wife were in Clar- endon we engaged the hOspi- tality of the Spencer home. He was a competitor and at the same time a gracious and kind friend, and with his many other Monroe County friends, we mourn his death.
 The body wa brought to Clarendon for interment.
 The story of MT. Spencers s death and the sketch of his life is given by the Canyon City, (Col.) Daily Record and in part, is as follows:
 Col. William E. Spencer, well and favorably known to most Canon City people, died at his home, 922 Main street, shortly after z o'clock Wednesday evening from Bright's disease after few minutes of suffer- ing. Although Col. Spencer has

4 BRINkLEY BOY
 ON PRESIDENTS SHIP
A Former Argus Employee Who Was a Petty Officer on Pres ident's Ship, Writes of the Last Voyage Back From
 France.

Quite a number in Brinkley remember w. |. Abbott, a young man who began and learned the printing business in the Argus Office, a few years ago. When the war broke out Abbott volunteered and enter ed the navy. He was assigned to the great ship George Wash ington and made the first voy- age with her. He was made a
 petty officer and placed in charge of the printing depart ment of the ship. In this ca pacity it became his duty to print for and be in rather close touch with President Wilson in his voyages across the ocean.
 The last voyage of the ship George Washington, bringing President and Mrs. Wilson from France, a few days ago terminated Abbott's service and he was given his discharge. He has been in Brinkley this week the guest of the Argus and the following letter on the last trip over, was written by him, for the Argus. It is as follows:
 "Mt <lsOm you asked me to te 1ning. of the Presi- dent Presidents Ship" Fe11 mi1ht begin with the coni1 eenant of the return trip wbap @ Aeard the first gun of the one give presidential sall IF boarded the smal bring him to where A anchored 4n the outer z, l said a small boat bug

 Col. Spencer was born in Minneapolis Minn., July 10, 1865, and he had just entered upon the fifty-fourth year of his age. When a small boy he removed to Arkansas and the greater part of his life was spent in that state.

BRINkLEYS BIG
 FLOODED HOG SALF
Monroe County Raised Hogs Sell at $f550 in the Big Safe Here Monday. Buyers from 16 States Spend
 $14,3o0 for Our
 Fine Hogs.

Brinkley was alive with strangers on Monday, who came here from 16 different states to attend the big blood ed hog Sale-the 1st of the Southern Circuit, given by the Eastern Arkansas Demonstlu- tion Farm at their pretty new barn on their ranch in South
 The sale was announced for 1 o'clock and the scores of visitors who came on the trains, in special cars, etc, were driven to the sale by .cit- izens.
 The auctioneer, Cox H.
 Ingleheart of Kentucky, M the same man who conducted the first blooded hos sale in Brinkley aboutsix months ago and he was the same clever fellow: had the satisfaction of seeing 51 head of Monroe county hogs bring $14,390.00, an average of more than $282 each.
 There were several hundred people comfortably seated in the big ampetheatre around the sales or show ring, and in the party were 50 or 50 promi- nent ladies from various parts of the county and state. In the crowd were visitors from all parts of Monroe and ad- joining counties, who had mo- tored to Brinkley.
 Cherry Friend Lady, two years old, offspring of Orio Cherry King and Waits Friend Lady and full sister in blood to the grand champion worlds Top King, owned by J. Bright Goodbar of Memphis, was the
 choice parcel of the finest herd seen in Eastern Arkansas ill many a day, if not the finest collection of purebreds in the state. She sold for 1,550, May field Farms of Lexington, Ky, offering that figure after spirit ed bidding, participated in by buyers from many states.
 Col. Tom James of Pine Crest Farm, Charleston, Miss, paid $1,000 for a gilt as the second highest figure of the sale. -S~ m
 
 Sixteen states were repre- sented by buyers at the Brink lev sale Monday afternoon and and eight states will get pure bred Durocs from Arkansas, Virginia leading in the number that are to be taken out of the lower Mississippi Valley.
 One of the very encouraging features was the purchase Of F animals which will remain in Arkansas. In a brief address to the several hundred who gathered at the new sales building a mile south of town, Col. Ingleheart, auctioneer, or Elizabethtown, Ky, urged the Arkansas fanciers not to pass up an opportunity to get some of the fine stock for thelf farms, pointing to the fact that the herd being offered was an Arkansas herd and one that would lay a fine foundation for development of the hog in dustry in the state; a herd that proved that Arkansas can raise as fine hogs as can De found anywhere.
 George c. Gregory of Rich mond, Va, was one of the most active individual buyers,
