THE OIL STU ALTON.

 Expert oil men tell Us that our terrl- tory. they believe. is in the very heart of the great southern oil belt. Some of the biggest men n the oil business are here with their experience and their means to advance the work.
 There has been no disposition on the part of the Picayune to paint glowing pictures of the possibilities before us, any more than to suggest the adFls- ability of preparing for the rush. which is certain to follow the first flow CT the oil
 Our opinion that we are on the eve CT a great discovery. is based on the state ments of men who have devoted the best years of their lives to the study and development of oil wells. Pres colt. like most other towns in Arkansas needs a business awakening. Nothing would help it just now, half as much as a ''guSher" at any one of the three drilling points in Nevada county.

SUGGESTS ADyISABILITY OF RE- DUCING NUMBER OF CHAN
 CERY DISTRICTS

Governor McRae made use of the when he returned to the Senate with out his approval 8 bill by Senator Hart ie of Faulkner county providing for an official stenographer for the Ninth Chancery District.
 Tn his veto message the governor said that he did not see the necessity for stenograpbers in any of the chan cery districts inasmuch as the testi- mony is, or should be, taken by depo- sition
 Also he suggested the advisability of redistricting the state with view to reducing the number of chancery dis tricts and requiring more frequent terms.
 Following receipt of the veto mes sage, Senator Johnston. chairman of the Senate Committee on Apportion- ment, said that he will call joint meeting of the Senate and House Alp portionment Committees 10 be held Tuesday for the purpose of taking up the matter of redistricting both Chan eery and Circuit Court districts.
 The governor, in his veto message, said: 'I do not appreciate the necess- ity for stenographers in any of the chancery districts, inasmueh as the tes- timony is, or should be taken by depO- sition but if provided by one, it should be provided for all The General As sembly should think, fix the compen- sation to be paid stenographers for talk ing depositions and if necessary au- thorize the chancellor to appoint com missioners authorized to take such dep- ositions.

San FranciscO-"Shesw swept the men
of her choice off their feet-courted

That's the way V. H. Ormsby, dep
uty sheriff of Twin Falls, Idaho, de-
scribes the romance of Mrs. Lydia
Southard, under arrest at Honolulu on
a charge of numbering Ed Meyers Of
Twin Falls, her fourth husband.
Mrs. Southland denies the charges
and says she can satisfactorily ex-
plain the deaths of her former hus-
bands. She told officials she believed
she was typhoid carrier" and that
this may have been responsible for
some of them.
Take poor Ed Meyers, for ex-
ample" says Deputy Sheriff Ormsby.
"He was the woman's fourth husband.
In 1920 he was running a little ranch
out near Twin Falls, when Lydia came

had collected 5000 in insurance.

San Francisco to Honolulu he took
hts bride along. He's still loyal to his
wife"
The marital experiences Of the one
time Missouri country town girl
eclipse even those of fiction. Ten
years ago while still in her teens she
was living on a farm Of her father,
William Trueblood, about two miles
from Keytesville, Mo.
Following the opening of new irrt-
gated territory in Idaho, Trueblood
moved his family to a section near
day sweetheart of Lydia, and his
brother Edward, followed soon after,
and settled near the Trueb!ood farm.
Married to DooIey.
In 1920 Robert DoOley took Lydia,
then twenty, into Twin Falls one day
and the two were married. Edward
went to live with them.
One day Edward Dooley became Ill.
Within few hours he was dead.
Lydia explained that he had eaten
salmon from can that had stood
open for some time. Lydia and Robert
Dooley accompanied the body back
to Keytesville for burial and folks in
the home town got their first glimpse
of baby Laura Marie, daughter Of
Lydia.
About three weeks after Lydia and
her husband returned to Twin Falls,
Robert Dooley died. Three weeks
later baby Laura was dead.
Mrs. Dooley collected $4,000 on in
surance that had been carried by the
brothers and a short time later was
married to William McHaffie.
The two went to Montana to live
and settled ON a ranch. McHaffie took
out a $500 insurance policy and made
one payment on it. In short time he
died, but when Lydia went to collect
the insurance she found that the pol
icy had lapsed a few days and the
company refused to pay it.
In June, 1919 Lydia married Har-
lem Lewis, an automobile salesman,
with whom she had become acquaint-
ed In Montana. One month later, on
July 6, Lewis died from what doctors
said was ptomaine poisoning, and
Lydia collected $1,000 in insurance.
Following the death of Lewis, Lydia
returned to Twin Falls, where she met
and married Myers, husband No. 4.

empty shells telescope over eggs just
