PikeviIIe Man Makes Good.

J. NJ. Wolford, one OF Pilxeville's boys
has made fortune in the oil business

the courthouse and never stopped work

and the highest wages received We're

Mr. Wolford's dream of bigger things
caused him to leave Pikeville for a
larger field of opportunities. Pikeville
had no railroad at that time and bus
mess was slow. After short stay in
the Middle West he returned to Vir-
ginia and made small fortune and
lost 1t IN the jamestown Exposition.
Then Mr.. Wolford moved to Wash
ington, ID. c., where he put his three
children, Pearl, Ray Lee and Terrence
in a boarding scool.
Mr.. Wolford for, years was engaged

When the war came on he decided ID

ASSISTNT POSTMASTER
 TO RECEIVE BACK PAY

Assistant Postmaster C. V. Hinkle has received notice of the passage of special act of congress allowing him the sum of $1,308 in back pay for ser vices as clerk at the Conway postoffice several years ago. At that time some irregularities were discovered in the postoffice here and Mir. Hinkle was dismissed from the service, for insub- ordination, on account of ''cussing out an inspector who accused him of con. nection with the irregularities. Later it was proved that Mir. Hinkle was absolutely innocent and he was exon- erated and restored to the service. The special bill was introduced by Con- gressman Jacoway to pay him for the time lost while he was out of the ser vice.

GREEKS GARRY AWAY
 BEST SOIL ELEMENTS
Faulkner Farmers Awakening to Im- pOrtance of Terracing Land,
 Says Mir. Williams.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 The Cadron creek, TupeIo bayou, Palarm creek, Cypress creek and Mud dy bayou with their contributtaries constitute the greatest transportation system of any common carrier in Faulkner county.
 Their terminal facilities are gener- ally good, the exception being when the Arkansas river takes charge of things, backing water up some three to five miles, congesting the freight which is the principal item hauled, for some few days or weeks.
 When this takes place a part of the cargo is left deposited in thin black layer about over land overflow ed; the value of which is greater than all farm products hauled out of the county in wagons or over the Mis- souri Pacific.
 But in keeping with the slump of all farm products, these streams are losing trade.
 This might have been predicted last winter and spring when b progress sive farmers asked the county agent to order them as many farm levels. which were distributed in various parts of the county.
 With these farm levels, terraces, which hold the water until the plant food and much of the water has time to soak into the ground, and are broad so that the rows continue on in a straight line as before, are being laid out, not only on the 15 farms but neighbors, too.
 The last three months the county agent has been called to 96 farms to help stop these washes, 48 of these farms being visited in January.
 T. M. Williams, County Agent.

HIGHLY COMMEND
 NORMAL SCHOOL
APPROPRIATION IS URGED
New Buildings and Additional Ground Recommended by Legislative
 Committee.

Unusually strong commendation and favorable report on all the i'm provements requested by the board of trustees are contained in the re- port submitted to the legislature yesterday afternoon by the joint com, mittee appointed to visit the State Normal School The committee which is composed of Senaors Will son and Montgomery and Represen- tatives Morton and Hudson, said in it's report:
 For the sake of the children of our state we appeal to you to give the Normal School everything for which they ask"
 Appropriations were requested fo1 two additional dormitories, a practice school building, a gymnasium and au- ditorium and 30 acres of additional land for agricultural purposes.
 The report of the committee was in part as follows:
 "We found the school crowded. They are unable to house all the stu dents who seek admittance. The grounds and buildings are well kept but they need an appropriation to buy 30 acres of land adjacent to the land owned by the institution. They need an appropriation to take care of some streets through the campus and surrounding it. They need a dormi- tory for men, a dormitory for women gymnasium and auditorium, and building to handle the pupils for the practice school.
 The spirit of the student body is fine, and those in charge seem to have the situation well in hand. For the sake of the children of our state we appeal to you to give the Normal School everything for which they ask. Let's build a monument not only for this legislature, but for the cit izenship of this great state.'

Talley was at the Busey oil gusher Sunday when the well was being capped for the first time, He said the roar of the escaping oil and gas from the we'll was so loud that it was impossible for one to be heard when within 200 yards from the gush- CT. The laborers assisting in capping the well, he said, had their ears stuff fed with cotton and sealed up with wax, and were paid $10 an hour for their work.

 The Parsons Literary Society gets better each time. Group No. had the rendition of the program last Friday with Curtis Hall as leader. An unusually good program was given. Curtis Hall was voted to have had the best part on program, which was spicy, interesting prophecy of the high school pupils. A fractional holiday is promised to the side that does the best work and renders the best programs during the coming month.
 Spelling is interesting the high school pupils of late. Their teacher has been giving them all the same and equal number of words since the open ing of school. He has also promised them a big box of chocolate candy whenever each and every one in the room spells each word. One day last week only one word was missed. The pupils are pulling for that box of candy. We have the State Normal spelling test from second to eighth grades inclusive last week. This week we are giving the geography test as outlined by Prof. McAister of the State Normal extension department 1 Work on our play Aunt Sophronia at College' and high school debate with Rosebud school next Saturday night is progressing well and easily Prof. Hall entertained those in the play with a snappy little social after play practice the other Saturda! nigh.

PARTY 10 INSPECT
 COUNTY SCHOOLS
STATE OFFICIAL TO COME
Compose Official Party to Stop First at Nilonia-To Check Up
 Educational Work.

An official party composed of A.
 B. Hill of Little Rock. professor of secondary education. J. C. Clark, chairman of the county board of edu- cation, A. A. Parsons Jr., county sup crintendent, and County Agent T. M.
 Williams, will next week visit several
 school in Faulkner county to inspect their work and make recommendation
 for improvement. The party will
 make it's first stop at Nilonia on
 Wednesday night, February 9, will
 stop at Mt. Vernon Thursday morn
 ing and Thursday night will be at
 Rosebud. Mir. 1Iiil will leave the party
 at Rosebud, and the remaining three
 will then work back to Conway stop
 ping at various schools along the
 route.
 Mr. Parsons said that members of the Ebenezer and Woodrow farm clubs are expected at the Nilonia meeting, the program for which will include an address by MT, Hill and education al moving pictures. Mr Hill also will speak at Mt. Vernon At Rosebud, the party will he joined by !. w. Henrv. superintendent for White county and the party will spend the entire day there. Mr. Hill and Mr. Henry vii! continue their work in White county while others of the party visit Faulk- ner schools.
 Work in Faulkner county under the new school law has two distinguish ing features. Mir. Parsons and Mr. Williams have fully utilized the ad- of combining the farm demon stration and public school work, and their cooperation is proving helpful to both causes Mir. Clark as chair man of the county board has evi- denced more interest than board of ficials in other counties and his acti- vity is closely relating the board it. self to the individual public schools. From all accounts, public school edu- cation in this county is making slight ly faster progress than others in Ar kansas since the new law became operative.
 The state department of education invited county superintendents and coard members for the fifth district to inspect the Little Rock and Pulas ] Xxi county public schools on January 27 adn 28, and Mir. Clark and Mr. Parsons represented Faulkner county. Under the leadership of Supt J. L. { Bond and J. R.
