MARTINVILLE.

This scribe failed to be heard from last week on account of high water. For 10 days we failed to receive, nor could we send, mail to Conway. Max P. Miller attended to business at Conway last week.
 We have had a few days of dry weather the past week. Farmers are taking advantage of it to blow corn and cotton. Some farmers are re- planting cotton because of failure to get stands.
 They are paying Is cents per dozen for eggs at the stores here. We read very fine letter from the pen of Mrs. Frank Smith, on the eighth page of the Commercial Appeal of April 26. Mrs. Smith was reared and educated in the common schools of this community. We are proud to know that we have a local writer who can write such an interesting letter. Probably there are others here who could write letters that would adorn the eighth page
 Does all this cry about "tarlf which we read in some papers snow that the sentiments of the people of the South are undergoing a change with regard to a protective tariff, or Is it only scheme to try to put us Tn the Republican column?
 The league of nations, Versailles treaty and the question of what Ger many shall pay the allies in repara- tions for the terrible, unnecessary, un- iustifiable havoc they wrought during the war is very much in evidence. When Germany conquered France in the war of 1870, questions of this kind were quickly settled by Bismarck upon the part of victorious Germany Tn rather ruthless manner. Question: Would it not be but an act of justice to France, now that the tables are turned, that she get her just dues?
 Barney, let us hear from you again. Tell us all about yourself and commit nity and tell us about our heifer.
 The heavy rains and cool weather have left the country in rather dam aged condition, but we can grow out of by persistent effort. In 1882 we had just the same conditions as we now have. Graded wheat with our coats on. Crops of all kinds were very back ward, grew off very slowly, the wealth CT kept cool until the 10th day of June, but we made good crops of corn, cot ton, wheat, oats, potatoes and garden vegetables. Let us not become dis couraged.
 w. D. McCollum attended the coun- ty union meeting at Bristol last week as a delegate. He reported a good attendance and very interesting meet ing.
 G. H. Cochran was bitten by snake last Friday evening. He was driving his mules to pasture when he was bit ten. He thought at the time he was pierced by thorn, but later discov- cred that it was a snake-bite. He was quite sick all of Friday night, but was resting better on Saturday.
 MT. and Mrs. Groon1s of Conway county visited relatives here last Sat urday and Sunday.
 New Home, we certainly appreciate your efforts in our behalf. We think we can make a good janitor. We went last Saturday morning and swept and dusted out the schoolroom where our Sunday school meets.
 Everyone in this community is in- vited to meet at the cemetery on next Saturday for the purpose of cleaning off the ground and repairing graves.
 In a friendly contest between Misses Mona Hendrickson and Montene Mar tin for additions to their classes in Sunday school, Miss Martin won the contest. The event will be celebrated at a date to be named.
