Nrw York IPgqrst City In the World.
Nearly all geographies and re
ference books still give London as
the most populous city on the
globe, but for some time New York
has occupied that place, and a new
police census of that city which
has just been taken confirms this.
By this census the population of
greater New York including the
boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn,
Bronx. Richmond and Queens is
5,257,885. This is a gain of about
245.000 over the figures shown by
the last, state census and of about
490.000 over the last federal cen
sus of 1910.
Preparedness.
Much is being said now about
preparedness against war in the
way of more ships and a larger
army. The great majority of
American people are with Presi
dent Wilson in his policies. But
have we thought of the great in
security of Arkansas and of our
unpreparedness in the way of focT
and feed. What about our
supply? What about our beef and
pork supply? What about our but
ter and egg and poultry supply?
Even the past year few realize that
Arkansas growed only half enough
of the above articles to supply her
own people. If war were to be de
clared against us, coula Arkansas
really feed herself, feed and main
tain her live sleek, support he

Secy, ana i'Yeas
didate for Sheriff and Collector.
We take pleasu e in calling the
attention ot the voters of this conn- i
ty to Mr. Craig’s candidacy, for the
reason he belongs to one of the!
pioneer families of this county, is a
nephew of the late lamented Judge
Henry Bunn, and a sen of Peter
Craig and Annie Bunn Craig, the
latter only a few weeks ago passed
from this earth to the God, whom
she loved and served, a'-d who was
well known to nea-ly every citizen
of the county. Finn Craig, as he
is familiarly ca’led and known to
ev ryono. was born, reared and ed
ucat'd within the confines of old
Union counts, and he is capable. |
efficient and painstaking in a!‘ i
thing - he undertakes to do. He is :
one of the best known men in the
county, always affable ana agrees,
ble ?nci it s a rea' joy to transact
bu'-inoss of any nd with hi n.
For the past th- years he has
held the important and responsible j
position of County Tr a surer of i
this county, and he has been l und
at his post of duty and at his place
of business at ail times to serve
and wait upon those who had busi
ness to transact in this office.
His books are neatly and cor
rectly kept no mistakes or errors, ■
as shown by the various commit
tees. -whose duty it is under the
law. to investigate and report on
the various officers of ihe county.
In presenting his claims to the
voters of Union county for the of
fice of Sheriff and Collector, it is
done with the firm belief that he
can serve ;he people in this capaci
ty efficiency and in a manner that!
will be approved of and commend
ed bv the tax payers and ‘electors
of the county.
It will be his policy, should the
people select him for this import
ant office, to enforce the law at all
tunes to t-he very best of his ability
and to carry out the orders and ;
mandates of the courts in a busi
ness like and fearless manner.
He solicits your support and
■ fiuence. and if elected to this of
fice. will so conduct himself and the
.Fairs of the office in a manner
that no one who sees fit to cast
th ir vote for him will ever have
cause to regret the same, and
promises the same courteous treat
ment to one and all. as he has
heretofore accorded to the public.;
general. Keep his candidacy in
mind.

of phantom players will appear at
'he auditorium of the new school
building on Thursday evening. Jan.

season's lyceum course in "Rip

Resolve to get ready for the future opportunities
that may come to you. then strengthen that resolution by
remembering that emergencies often arise and that a little
ready cash comes in verv handy at such times.
With this twc-fold incentive start the New Year

prosperous and happy than any that have gone before.
We will help you carry out your good resolutions by
extending to you every courtesy and accommodation that
we can.
