Out of the 400 school-teachers
who sailed for Manila on the
transport Thomas on August
&8d, 30 couples got married on
reaching Honolulu. We think
we will go with the next gang
and trv our hick.
With its last issue the Conway
log Cabin and Democrat were
consolidated and will now be is
sued as the Log Cabin-Democrat.
The Log Cabin and Democrat
have always been up-to-date,
newsy papers, and should have
the hearty support of the citizens
of Faulkner county. A paper
like the Log Cabin-Democrat is
of inestimable value to the com
munity in which it is published.
We wish the Log Cabin-Demo
crat abundant success.
Robert Fitzsimmons, the pugi
list in a recent lecture in Atlan
tic City, N. J., given for the
benefit of the fund for the relief
of poor children, said among
.other good things: “I never see
a young man dissipating but I
feel like taking him aside and tell
ing him that he is wasting his
strength, squandering his power
and inviting disappointment and
suffering.” And this comes
from a man who is no doubt onto
the ropes. Young men take
Bob’s advice and be happy.
The Pope County Record
seems to have stirred up a hor
nets nest among the officials of
that county anent the superflu
ous spending of the county’s fi
nances for printing. The editor
seems to think quite a little of
the money has been misspent or
used for printing that is un
necessary, claiming that the
printing could be done at a great
deal smaller figure. The Judge
doesn’t seem to coincide with the
editor of the Record in this and
in a recent interview between
the two a knife seems to “have
cut a swell” and such language
as “I give you warning right
now, that if you ever say any
thing about me that isn’t right,
I ’ll cut you in two. and I ’ll do it
too, when you are not thinking
about it,” was uttered. Things
must have had a lurid aspect to
them about this time. We sus
pect a new and complete renova
tion will take place in the matter
of printing in that county in the
future.
The cool mornings we are hav
ing now show us that winter is
coming. Quite a number of our :
citizens are now getting their !
tire wood ready for the cold
weather.

Woodruff county has 5,685. The .

ties is $481,911.08 ojr an appor
tionment of $.98 to each school
child.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
Among the things brought up -
before the last meeting of the j
city council were the following: j
The sum of $115.70 for lumber i
purchased of Walter B. Fakes
for sidewalk purposes was refer
ed to the finance committee fox
settlement. The lumber is now
here and it is said the work of
improving our sidewalks will be
gin at once much to the pleasure
of tfye people.
The committee appointed to
look after a location for a city
cemetery had no favorable re
port to make, not having found a
suitable place as yet. However,
we may hope to have the grounds
for it in the near future. This
will be a long-felt want.
The committee appointed to
purchase a lot whereon to build
a new calaboose reported that no
definite conclusion had been
reached concerning the matter.
W. B. Daugherty, '‘Bill” as
everyone calls him, has many
funny things the latest being an
educated chicken which Mr.
Daugherty took great pains to
educate. One of the smartest:
tricks it performs is getting up
into fruit trees and helping itself
to the fruit and at the same time
knocking down some for its
brothers, sisters and friends be
low. This shows that it is not
only smart but free and liberal
hearted a peculiarity it no doubt
absorbed from Mr. Daugherty
himself. To say the least of it,
it i» a rare chicken, and if any
thing else wants to be heard, con
cerning it ask “Bill.”

Miss Orio Berry of Zent, hits
been visiting in our neighbor
liood a few* days.
Arthur Mitchell, late from the
Indian Territory, is visiting rela
tives in our neighborhood. He
thinks our country is all right,
when you come to swamps.
Several of our citizens have
been attending the “big meet
ing” at Augnsta, and some, we
learn, contributed very liberally
to the cause of Woodruff county.
Wanted: A remedy for the
watermelon carver. We can over
took a man very well when he
oomes to our smoke-house and
carries off a nice ham or side of
bacon, because we are aware of
the fact that hunger has driven
him to iti-but when it comes to a
few worthless, unprincipled
smart-alecks that prowl about
over the country, devouring all
there is in a man’s watermelon
patch or orchard and boast of
what they have done, we think
they should be chocked if shot
or other means could do it. We
ire not kicking because we have
lost watermelons for we have
bad none worth losing, but be
muse we think it should be stop
ped. Excepting the above men
tioned wo have as nice a noigh
oorhood as one should want.

Howard McNight & Co., carri
ed a nice drove of cattle from our
neighborhood last Saturday. The
people must think feed will be
scarce this winter.
Quite an interesting ball-game
was witnessed Saturday evening
between the “leans” and the
“fats.” The game stood 19 to
21 in favor of the “leans” with
one inning coming to the “fats. ”
T'he “leans” of course, were rep
resented by ye scribe and the
“fats” by E. W. Chaney, the
leading sports in Tip’s “clumsy
club”. We intend to try it over
next Saturday.
By Our Regular Correspondent.
T. A. Smith’s father was over
from Wiville Monday.
A Mr. Wiser of Tenn., is visit.
inf? relatives in our vicinity.
Most of our boys enjoyed a
nice base-ball game again Satur
day evening.
J. W. Raynor’s father, of Cov
ington, Tenn., is spending a few
days in our good country.
Owing to the cotton picking
season being fully on, it has di
minished our school by about
half.
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Jackson
of Revell’s, spent a part of last
week visiting in our neighbor
hood.
Jim Clayton, after a short visit
among his kinfolk, returned last
week in time to be on hand for
the Cotton Plant court.
If one would only listen to the
preacher, they’d think we were
bad sure enough when it comes
to eating chickens, but the rea
son he is howling so loud is be
cause he didn’t get any chicken,
nor even to gnaw- on the bone.
He has therefore vow-ed ven
geance against us, not for an act
of ours but simply due to his
presence in our poultry yard.
As for the jokes he got from
j mamma, wo know what he’s
striking at, and I’m not sure if
some ope didn’t hear him say
sopithing somtime, anyhow let
, him try it on.
The protracted meeting com
menced at Good Hope Saturday.
Several of our people have been
attending and we Learn that they
have had good attendance and a
very good meeting so far.
We wonder what’s become of
the Morton writer and “Mr,
Kobb the ‘coon killer.’” We
have not quite starved out yet \ 'v
but would like to keep posted so
if we do have to run we will
know where to go.
If you want to be up-to-date in
ball playing consult John John
son. But if you would like to
make ties it would pay you to
see Edley Hartsell. For one to
look at Ed they’d think he was
as clumsy as a cow, but if you
could only see him hacking ties
you’d be sorry you ever express
ed such an opinion of him, for he
sho do make the splinters fly and
makes from one to two ties per
day. Say, if you see any extra
teams just send them down to
haul off his timber. Just so
there are not more than 30.
DEVIEW.
By Our Regular Correspondent.

Buried at the Odd Fellows’
cemetery Monday, September 2,
Mrs. T. A. Jeffries in the pres
ence of a large crowd.
Why is it that it doesn’t rain,
some more? That some people
j act like fools and other people
; don’t have to act? That in parts
j of Missouri where they prayed
i hardest for rain, it hasn’t rained
yet? That some brilliant mind
can’t contrive to bottle some of
this heat for use next winter.
