 Goods Do Not Sell Themselves.
 Edison invents many wonderful things but his advertising experts sell them for him. What people want to know about your business is the char acter of the goods or service that you offer for sale. Even though they know you are in business, you must tell them what you have that they need. Journal-Miner advertising is the cheapest way to accomplish this purpose.
 Estate Closed.
 Emilia and Eugenio Bernal, min ors, have succeeded as heirs to the estate of their deceased father both girl and boy having reached their ma jority short time ago. They receive the sum of $500 in cash and five min ing claims in White Picacho district. The decree of the Superior court de- clares them the legal heirs of the estate and discharges the guardian, H.

URGES PAYMENT OF
 SCHOOL DONATIONS

The possibility of having to close the public schools of Conway for sev- eral weeks threatens unless the re- maining $2,000 of the public subscrip- tions to the maintenance of the school, due November Is, are paid at once, Secretary w. A. Gibbon of the school board said today.
 Under an agreement with the local banks the term for which money is to be advanced by them on school war rants expires January 1, at which time it was expected that the proceeds of the bond issue recently sold Chica- go concern would become available. On account, however, of a delay in making up an abstract of the districts revenue, due to the fact that the county tax books were in the hands of the tax commission at Little Rock, the funds from the bond issue are not yet in hand and may not be received for month or more yet. In the mean time $500 payment for interest coupons on an old bond issue becomes due January 1, and the monthly pay roll will have to be met early next month.
 Unless some arrangements can be made with the banks to extend the time of cashing school warrants, or the donations pledged to the district can be collected, it will be necessary to close the school, Mir. Gibbon said. He believes, however, when the situa- tion is realized, those who have made subscriptions and have not yet paid them will immediately make arrange ments to do so. Approximately s6,- 900 of the amount pledged this year has been paid to the secretary, but about $2,000 is still due. Mr. Gib- bon said he has the cards at the of- flee of the Ideal theatre and is ready at any time of the day to issue re- ceipts to those who will call and pay.
