RANDOLPH COUNTY
MAN KILLS SELF
Well Known Farmer Blows
Head OFF With Shot Gun
Near Biggers

Pocahontas, June 21.-Uncle
Chess Biggers, 70 years old, a
member of one of the most
prominent families of Randol-
phi county, committed suicide
by blowing his head eff with
a shotgun late. Friday, four
miles north of Pocahontas in
the neighborho3d known as
Biggers creek.
Mr.. B;ggers was s1elI off fl
nancially, and owned consid-
cradle property. It is believed
that the cares of age and i'll
health had affected his mind,
as he had threatened more
than once to take his life. He
slipped a shotgun from his
home Friday and went to the
field. He tied a string to the
trigger and placed himself in
such position in front of the
gun that when he pulled the
string the entire load struck
him in the face. He was a man
of family.
A singular fate seems to
have overtaken the Biggers
family. His nephew, B. F.
Biggers, one of the wealthiest
men of Randolph county,
about three years ago, was shot
and killed by his son, George,
Biggers, who then shot and
killed himself. Only a short
time before this, another neph-
ew, and brother of Frank Big
gers, was shot and killed while
acting as marshal of Walnut
Ridge, by Dock Driver, who
was convicted and hanged on
the charge of murder.

Arkansas needs a chance !

The State is sick-sick and
tired CT the malady that is
slowly but surely sapping its
vitality and undermining its
strength.
1t needs rest and change

if it don't get them pretty soon
it will develop into some fatal
disease that will eventually
destroy it.
1t has fallen into the hands
of political quack doctors who
have rather rejoiced over its
sad plight than exulted over
any effort they have made to
restore it to health and sound
ness.
The State is in debt and not

NAL tax of fourteen million
dollars, the debt grows larger
as taxation climbs, and no hope
of better things is held out for
the future.
The thing for the people to
do in the August primary cleo

clean out the political loafers
and parasites who hold out
around Little Rock and live

N. Y. WORLD FOR HOOVER

The New York World in its lead
ing editorial a few days ago, declared
for Herbert C. Hoover for president.
The World, a Democratic paper, has
been a strong supporter of President
Wilson.
eve should be glad to support Mr..
Hoover as the Democratic candidate
for president" the editorialsaid, "on
a platform that represented the his
torical principles of the Democratic
party. We should be glad to support
him as an Independent candidate on
a platform of progressive liberalism.
We should not hesitate to support
him as the Republican candidate on a
platform representing the kind of
government which Mr.. Hoover has
exemplifed in his public career"
The World declares partisan objec-
tions to Hoover are arguments in his
favor, adding: "The American people
are tired of professional politicians
and disgusted with party politics. The
old party lines have been broken down
and, in respect to princi-
pies, both parties are bankrupt"

All this sounds very gay, but. since

are mucl; more becoming to NEST

Now Is an excellent time to buy

interest lying chiefly In the materials

1t is difficult to end good-looking sport

buy with an eye to what will be use

next season.
1t is difficult to get hats that mattel,

There are garden or sport hats OF

that they may be crushed into almost
any shape. Consequently, they are
easily packed in travelling bag.

"Why, frog" said Peter, "you talk

"Of course I do" said the frog,

pottery frog, but in your dreams I'll
talk and talk and talk all you want me
to. And I'll sing you a frogs song il

I sit on something which is not q log.
II were real I'd sit on a log,
But II were real, I'd be a real frog.
"Fine, fine" shouted Peter, and sud-
denly he awoke and saw the frog sit

mouth shut tight: but he knew how
much the frog could talk in his
dreams. And it was enough that in
Peters wakeful moments he could look

This Is the Day of Lace

Not for years has one been able tc
draw forth black or white lace
flouncing. Collars and cuffs have been
! about all the use offered for any kind
of lace. Perhaps the fact that it is
a ruffle yeat provides the place fol
lace and yet we have seen other ruf.
fle years which had no mention OF
lace ruffles.
This year deep lace flouncing is
used in all kinds of ways. One is for
tunate to have a Chantilly flounce in
either white or black and the imita.
tfons are used with exactly as pleas.
ing effect.
All one needs with deep fiouncins
is nice slip of satin, the flounce OF
white hung at the depth the lace will
allow. and net added to make the
tunic longer or shorter.
Many women do not like the scallor
at the bottom of the flounce. But in
