RACE FOR COUNTY CLERK

The proper column of this issue
of the Telegraph contains the an
nouncement of Crit Stuart of Saline
Township, Mr. Stuart having author
lied us to announce his candidacy
for County and Probate Clerk of
Hampstead County in the Democratic
Primary August 8.
Crit Stuart is one Of the best known
and most popular men of the county
and we feel that he needs no intro
duction from us. Born and reared
at Columbus, his present home, he
has spent his life in agricultural pur-
suits and is one of the leading farm
ers of that progressive community;
he is also one of the leading spirits
of his splendid little town and does
his full share in contributing to its
growth and prosperity.
Although he has been a jealous
worker in the Democratic ranks since
he has been old enough to cast vote,
Mr.. Stuart has never befor offered
for office and decided to enter the
race at this time only after strong
solicitation of friends. Now that he
is in, he expects to make as thorough
canvas of the county as possible to
the end that his ambition might be
realized,
Crit Stuart is affable, courteous
and broad-guaged and he possesses
the necessary educational qualifca-
tons to make a splendid public serv-
ant. w, bespeak for him tie consid-

ity and his business training and cour-
teous ways eminently qaulify him for

MASON TEST is
DOWN 215O FEET
WORK GOING FORWARD Salts
FACTORILY-SIIO,OOO SPENT
AT THIS TEST.

The water has been shut off at the
w. p Mason test well, 2 1-2 miles
northwest of Washington, for the past
two weeks and Driller Hackathorn be-
lieves he is through with trouble from
that source. A dkpth of 2150 feet
has been reached and the operators
are making satisfactory progress In
a dry hole, making from eight to TIN
feet a day The formation at present
is broken lime and shale rock. There
is only about so feet of open hole and,
as all Of this is through rock, there
seems little danger of caving.
An interview with Driller Hack
athorn Wednesday disclosed that he
remains most optimistic and expects
to strike the first pay in the next $50
or 200 feet.
This test is undoubtedly the most
thorough that is being made anywhere
in Arkansas and the Standard rig
used from the start has allowed a
tast of every foot penetrated, although
this has necessitated the expenditure
of large sum of money. Up to the
time the first hole was abandoned and
the rig skidden because of an impos-
sible fishing job, 100000 in cold
cash has been put up by the operat-
ing company, now known as the AL
len G. Thurman, Tr'tee Co. s65, 100000
has been expended on the present hole,
making a total of $110,000.00 that
the test has cost to date. In addition
to this the company has paid out in
the neighborhood Of $S,000.00 for re-
newal Of lease rentals.
Mr.. Hackathorne is experienced in
drilling in proven territory and could
be drawing a salary around $8,000.00
per year in any of the proven fields,
but his faith in this territory is SO
great that he has put over 100000
-Vr---.s,---v''Er ssr0.s0y
leases here and is investing all Of his
salary in this way except what is re-
quired for running expenses.
If big field is proven here by the
Mason No. 1 test, and THERE is every
indication that it will be, Bill Hack
athorn will deservedly get the credit
for it, and, too, Bills NEST will be
feathered."

APRIL TERM OF
COURT CLOSES
PLAINTIFF GETS VERDICT IN
DAMAGE SUIT BROUGHT HERE
FROM JACKSON COUNTY.

In a $5O,00O.OO damage suit trans
fe-red from Jackson to Hampstead
C nty Circuit Court, the three first
DAYS of the week were consumed in
its trial.
Sometime ago Major F. Moore,
driving a large truck loaded with gas
oline, was struck and killed by a
Missouri Pacific train at Tuckerman
about 100 miles northeast of Little
Rock.
Pace, Campbell and Davis, Little
Rock attorneys, representing Mrs.
Cora R. Moore, administrative,
brought the case to Hampstead Coun-
ty to avoid Federal court complica-
tions. Under the law the defendent
could have carried the case into the
Eastern Federal Division. The plain
tiff's attorneys exercised their rights
and moved the case into the Western
District and Hampstead court was the
first to sit, hence the reason for the
trial in this county.
The Hampstead county jury returned
a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for
$8,750.00, attorneys fees and costs of
the court.
Another case in which ex-senator
VIM. F. Kirby represented the plain
tiff, Frank Wells, against Mo.-Pac.
r. r. Co., and transferred to this
county under similar conditions was
decided in favor of the defendant
Railroad Co.
Two whiskey cases were tried; in
the case of the State VS. Makehill
the jury returned a verdict of not
guilty.

EXCITEMENT ATTENDS
EASTER EGG HUNT
(By M. A. Connaily)

Mr.. and Mrs. j. E. Gold chaperoned
a crowd Of kids ranging in ages from
2 to 40 on an Easter egg hunt Sun
day afternoon. The search for eggs
was only an incident to the many 9TH
er sensations of the afternoon.
Excitement began Immediately af-
ter their arrival at the Dugger lake
when Robert Patterson, curious TO
know if blackbird eggs were black,
Skinned up long, slim, slick, brit
tie, willow sapling overhanging the
green, placid waters of the lake, the
hero of the girls and the cynosure
of all eyes. Robert had just about
accomplished his desire, when crash,
a limb broke and the boy came down
with bullet-like velocity into the wa
ter, every inch of him. He soon came
up bedraggled and fighting for life,
gained the bank with many tree
marks on his face. He went home,
soon returned and the hunt was on.
Robert quickly furnished another
thrill when he pounced upon a full
grown live rabbit which was said to
have laid all of those bright, vari-
colored eggs.
Bobbie Keel found a flask of pop
skull white mule liquor which some
one had hidden at the scene of the
hunt. The contraband was poured
out and the hunt proceeded without
further excitement.
The eggs were all accounted for ex-
cept one little brown and red mot
tied soft-boiled guina egg which, pos
sibly a sympathetic sun has hatched
and left little blue-speckled orphan
to roam and forage upon the gentle,
verdant slopes of the Dugger pasture.
