 EARNED MEDALS
s. s. Langley, Candidate for Attorney General, and w. H. DunbIazier Drive in Rain and Mud to
 Speak in Mena.

In order to fill their engagement in Mena, two G. O. P. candidates made a trip Tuesday that should entitle them to DSC from their party. s. s. Langley of Murfreesboro, candidate for attorney general. and w. H. Duh blazier of Fort Smith. candidate for congress, travelled nearly 100 miles thru mud, rain and rocky roads, in order to reach Mena by night. They accomplished their object, after trav- cling under great difficulties in their car, reaching Mena from Waldron in time for the meeting held at the court house at night. Local Republicans gathered in force at the county build build ing, and provided almost as large a crowd as did the Democrats the night before. Dennis Townsend. county chairman, presided Mir. Dunblazier. who is commissioner of the United States court at Fort Smith, spoke first and outlined in brief tho hnsiness- ike manner the advantages of having the fourth district represented in con
 gress by Republican instead of u Democrat. Commissioner Dunblazier made good impression and was ap- plauded for his presentation of G. 0. F. doctrine. Mir. Langley, candidate for attorney general, spoke at more length and gave most attention to a
 discussion of national issues, laying special stress on the party stand on the league of nations, and the extrav- agance of the Wilson administration. In closing the Murfreesboro man re- ferred inquiries concerning his quail fications to Judge Steel. whom he had known for years, and who, tho politi- cally opposed. would give a correct re- port as to his ability to fill the office The two candidates were to have been accompanied by Dr. c. c. Gunnels formerly of Mena, but the latter could not leave business at Little Rock sfor the trip. After spending the night at |'the Antlers. the candidates left on Wednesday morning for vandervoort where a stop was scheduled at 10 a, m, planning to go to Grannis for an afternoon meeting.

Cotton Prices Decreasing

Cotton continues to pour into the Mena market from many d1fferent points. The fact that cotton can he sold in Mena, when buyers in many other places won't bid on it, helps in- duce many growers to come here. The prlce too is better than anywhere else m this vicinity: About 40 bales came to Mena Tuesday from Scott county, some from as far as Waldron. Others came from Heavener and other Okla homa points. The price paid Tuesday was between 16 and IT cents.

Patsy Johnson in eight rounds; Dutch
