With pleasure and pride we

our holiday stock is wonderful.
Still more wonderful is the fact
that the prices are no more

shopper may go away empty

Don’t be pessimistic so far as
your home town is concerned.
Can’t you see that if you go
about with a long face bewail
ing the miserable fate of your
home town, it only pulls it
down? Don’t say that the town
is dead, that its citizens are
back numbers, that the popu
lation is steadily decreasing
and a hundred other evils that
probably exist only in your
mind. If you can’t say anything
good, then keep still. Don’t let
other people know that you
haven’t the energy to move
away from such a miserable
hole as you claim you are liv
ing in. If you are a property
owner don’t tell the whole
world that your property is
worth just half as much now
as it was last year. It is very
possible that they believe you
and some day you may want to
sell that property and you will
be able to get just about half
its worth. So you see when you
talk against your home town
it only hurts yourself.
OLDFIELD PREDICTS
NATIONAL DRY LAW
Believes Byran Will Win His
Fight For Prohibition in
National Platform
Washington, Dec. 11.—Con
gressman Oldfield predicts suc
cess for William Jennings Bry
an’s campaign to insert a pro
hibition plank in the next na
tional Democratic platform.
The campaign was launched
here last week.
“I have discussed Mr. Bry-1
an’s speech with several other
congressmen and senators, who
heard it delivered, and it ap
pears to be the concensus of j
opinion that he will win this
fight to put a dry plank in the
next national platform of our
party.” Mr. Oldfield said. “It;
was a great speech and a con
vincing argument,and while his
reference to national prohibi
tion appears to have attracted
the most attention in the press,
his plea for he preservation of
the rights of the states to regu
late commerce within their
own boundaries, was none the
less timely and important.”
Mr. Oldfield said the Dem
ocrats used the arguments l
against the Republicans in the
last campaign that they were
favoring the centralization of
power to control both inter-1
state, and intrastate commerce |
in the federal commission at
Washington and that their can
didate had so committed him
self both in the Minnesota rate
opinion and in his telegram of
acceptance. Now, he said,Dem
ocrats could with poor grace
afford to adopt the idea and
grant the railroads of the coun
try this demand to the preju
dice of the regulatory powers
retained in the several states
over intrastate shipment.

A SUCCESSFUL YEAR
Reports to State Convention
Show Membership of More
Than 123,000 in State
Malvern, Dec. 9.—At the
closing session of the State Bap
tist Convention, held at the

He praised the negroesfortheir
stand in connection with Act
No. 2, and lauded their minis
ters for their decided increase
in knowledge and efficiency.
The present indebtedness of
Central College was provided
for through the executive board
of the state convention. Also a
great campaign to secure an
endowment of $300,000 for
Ouachita College was passed
by a unanimous vote.
The next convention will be
held at Jonesboro, and the an
nual sermon will be delivered
by I)r. B. B. Bailey, pastor of
the Firt Baptist Church of Ark
adelphia; alternate, Rev. W.
L. Compere.
The year 191b has been to
the Baptists of Arkansas one
of their most successful years.
Reports submitted show they
have now within the state more
than 123,000 members in the
white churches, 10,000 conver
sions and 9,000 baptisms dur
ing the period. The convention
was brought to a conclusion
last night, its final moments
being characterized by heart
stirring and soul inspirring in
cidents. •

46 BALES COTTON
BURN AT GUION
Fire of unknown origin was
discovered in cotton on the rail
road platform at Guion Tues
day, and the flames spread so
rapidly that 4G bales were com
pletely destryed. The platform
contained about 60 bales which
had been turned over to the
railroad company by T. P.Pow
ell & Son of Melbourne for
shipment to Newport.
The heavy loss sustained
will fall upon the railroad com
pany, it is said, as the cotton
had been accepted for ship
ment.
