PAUL MARTIN,
THE NEW CIRCUIT CLERK.
The subject of this sketch was
born in®,Woodruff County^three
miles south of Howell on the llth
* day of) December 1876 in a log
house, now known aslthe old Jefl
Harden Place.
It was around the fire side ol
that .humble log cabin that his
dear Angel Mother instilled and
impressed upon his.U youthful
mindlDtliose principals of right
. and justice, jjwhich time cannot
fade 1 nor surroundings contami
nate. The lessons tought us at
onr mother's knees are as lasting
as time itself. Men may carve
their names in blood and marble,
but the impressions made upon
the human heart by our mothers
will last forever.
Paul’s father is one of those
valiant confederate soldiers, from
whose lips he teamed the story ol
our Southland; the heroic deeds
" of southern chivalry and the pray
ers of our noble women. Whc
doubts his democracy? What
could he be but a trueldemocrati
He attended the Searcy College
for two years in 1891 and 1892,
during which time he made a
record of which any boy could
be proud.
From 1892 to'4896, he spent on
the farm and in the store with
his father.
In 1897, he secured a position
with Wm. R. Moor & Co. of Mem
phis. Here, we see Paul as he
really is. He had been there but
a few months when one night in
February, a fire broke out in the
hotel where he boarded. Paul
and his room-mate were on the
second floor and when they awoke
smoke and fire was all about them
and in the midst of roaring flames
and certain death, the agonizing
shrieks of women and children
reached their ears. The room
mate jumped to save his life, but
Paul risked his life and when
nothing more could be done, he
jumped. He was taken to the
hospital. In saving the lives of
others, he was badly burned. He
was moved home as soon as the
attending physician would per
mit it. After a few months of
suffering patiently borne, he was
ready for other noble acts. Prom
the day of recovery to the begin
ning of his race for Circuit Clerk
he has been at work for his fath
er at Howell.
Paul made a remarkable race
with three opponents, he receiv
ed almost as many votes as all
the other three put together.
Woodruff County onght to be
proud of such a boy. We hope
for Paul the success he merits
and wishing the sweetest smiles
of Providence to be his, we shall
bid him a sweet adieu.

The congregation was lead in
a very able prayer by D. Field

The choir next sang “There is
Sunshine in my Soul.”
Carey Brown, the master of
ceremony, next introduced Rev.
Shelton, the yarn spinner of
eastern Arkansas, He told ma

told of two Irish lads that were
in the habit of saying the Lord’s
Prayer. The younger brother re

as his brother would say it. One
night when they had reached that

or hope in the world. Yon must
move or yon might as well be
dead and out of the way. He told
of two frogs in search of water.
In their rounds, they jumped in
to a jar of milk. They attempt to
jump, but a slippery slide is their
only reward. One frog conclud

to kick himself to death; the oth

kicking act. For his objectless
perseverance, he was finally re
