Miss Mabel Lucas and Patrick Pitts Happily
United Sunday Afternoon.
The marriage ceremony which
united in wedlock Miss Mabel Ger
trude, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Albert E Lucas, and Mr. Patrick
Henry Pitts, of Monroe, was sol
emnized at 2 o'clock Sunday after
noon in the Methodist church in
an impressive manner by Rev. J.
R. Rushing.
The wedding party marched into
the church with Miss Clyde Pitts,
sister of the groom, leading, with
Miss Gladys Gibson and Mr. Leon
Hendricks and Miss Betty Collett
and Mr. John Williams and the
bride, leaning upon the arm of her
father, following, while the groom,
accompanied by his best man, Mr
John E. Ball, of Arkansas City, en
tered from the library.
The contracting parties met un
der a bower of evergreens from
which was suspended a large bell. I
where the ring ceremony was per
formed by Rev. J. R. Rushing.
After the ceremony the party left
the church in pairs, the ushers,
Messrs. Chas. E. Campbell and
E L. Stout, bringing up in the rear.
Mendellsohn s Wedding March
was played in beautiful sfyle, as the
party entered and left the church,
by Miss Lucile Bedford, with
as much ease as if it was an every
day occurrence with her, although
she is only twelve years of age.
The church was tastily decorated
with evergreens set off with white
flowers and a background of ferns.
The bride and bridesmaids wore
white dresses of the latest style
and presented a charming picture
daring the cemwotry. * ~ , =1
The bride is the only daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Lucas and has
grown into womanhood here. She
is a very attractive young lady and
beloved by all who know her on ac
count of her pleasant disposition
and aimable ways.
The groom formerly was filer for
the Wisconsin Lumber Company
here but is now in the employ of
the Grayling Lumber Company, of
Monroe, in the same capacity. He
is a steady, uoright young man, ad
mired by all for his manliness and
generosity.
The happy couple left on the
Iron Mountain train Sunday after
noon for a wedding trip to Galves
ton and from there will visit his
relatives at Call, Texas, before re
turning to Monroe where they will
make their home.
The bride and groom were the
recipients of a large number of
handsome and useful presents.
The News joins with their host
of friends in wishing for them .a
happy and prosperous married life.
Democrats bet Busy.
On Monday, September 14th, the
election of state officers from gov
ernor down to ana including town
ship officers throughout the state,
will be held.
The Democratic party presents
t.o the people of the state its choice
as governor, the Hon. Geo. W.
Hays of Camden.
Since Gov. Hays’ induction into
the office his one object has been
to promote harmony within the
Democratic ranks. In this he has
succeeded admirably. As gov
ernor, he has given much thought
to the perplexing questions of state
finances, and it ;s believed by those
in close touch with him that he will
be able to handle those proposi
tions in a manner satisfactory and
beneficial to the people.
He is a quiet, unassuming, plain
man, whom to know is to love.
We believe that the people of Ar
kansas will show their appreciation
of such an official by going to the
polls and endorsing his administra
tion in no uncertain terms.
While there will be no danger to
the state ticket, yet the State Cen
tral Committee will wage a vigorous I
campaign, assisted by tne loyal
Democratic newspapers and patri
otic public speakers in the state to
roll up such a big vote that tte
other states of the Union will kne w
that Arkansas upholds not only her
own Democratic administration.'
but also that she endorses the able
administration of President Wooc
row Wilson.
Covernor Hays will open the
campaign for the Democrats at
Ola. Yell county, on Friday, Aug
ust 14.

The Third Annual exhibition of
the Union County School Fair will

partment and class of the article
they wish to enter, using tho exact
numbers and letters of the premium
list.
Entries in all departments close
on the 14th day of November.
1914. Entry blanks when filled
out before the school term closes,
should be given to teachers: other
wise they should be mailed to the
county examiner at El Dorado, so
as to reach him on or before the

ing at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. by
the pastor. A cordial invitation is
extended to all to attend these
services.
Rev. J. R. Rushing. Pastor.
J. K. Mahony. of El Dorado, has
been appointed for this county by
Governor Hays to represent us in
matters connected with the Pana
ma-Pacific International Exposi
tion. Arkansas and the governor
can depend upon our county to do
its part. Our state must be ade
quately represented at the big ex
position and the only way we can
make a good showing along with
other states is for us all to do a lit
tle. Some of us will do less and
some will do more but we will
' wager that our county wiil be proud
! of her share in the enterprise when
| it comes time to open the gates of
1 the exposition grounds.

KNOW THE TRUTH.
Don’t br Misled Krg.irdinq the Benefits if
Publicity Act No. 3.
In this county there are one cr
two persons deliberately spreai ing
misrepresentations about a matt* r
very important to the peopk.
They are knocking one of the be? t
aws ever initiated by the people by
saying that Act No. 3. the publicity
measure, will cost the dear people
untold thousands of dollars. We!
don't deny any person the right to
his own opinion, but where that:
opinion is plainly in conflict with
truth and with the facts available |
for those who want to find oit
what the facts are, we do deny the 1
right of the holder of such an opin- j
ion to spread false doctrine before I
the public and we boldly challenge !
the motives of a man who will take j
a stand against the principle that!
"the public has a right to know."
We do not for an instant harbor
the thought that everybody whoi
opposes Act No. 3 is either a graft- I
er, a crooked politician or a dishon
est public -servant. We do main
tain, however, that it stands to
reason that every grafter, crooked
politician and dishonest office hold
er in the State of Arkansas is doing
everything in his power, either
openly or secretly, to create senti
ment against the publicity act.
When passed. Act No 3 will show
up these crooked ones for what
they are. Naturally they have to
hatch up some plausible argument
against Act No. 3, for it would
never do to admit that they are
against the principle of publicity in
public affairs. A politician would
never dare do that. No. indeed:
Wnattw«y »jp »s ineqr «rfr mt
favor of publicity, in principle, but j
ithat the cost is prohibitive. It!
' would cost the state a half million j
dollars a year, they say, %nd this :
county two to five thousand dollars
a year, to pass Act No. 3. There
is absolutely no excuse for such
misrepresentation. When facts are
so easily available, deliberate ped-j
dling of misinformation amounts to
a dishonorable and dishonest prac
tice that is inexcusable. Some of I
these who so fluently orate against
Act No. 3 have never reiad the act
through, and, if pinned down to it,
| will admit they haven't. If they
j won't admit it. ask thehn a few
I questions about the act and discov
er their ignorance about a matter1
i on which they seek to give you aa
| vice.
Act No 3 will cost the whole!
State of Arkansas about $22,500;
and will save $7,000 of this at one !
stroke, by reducing the cost of
printing the initiative and referen
dum acts, reducing the whole cost
of the act to less than $15,000.
Since the population of Arkansas is
1.574.499. the cost of enforcing
Act No. 3 will be, less than one cent
for each inhabitant. But it will
save its own cost many times over j
by cutting out waste, extravigance, ;
graft and dishonesty, for these
things will not be tolerated when
the people know what Act No. 3
will make it impossible for them
not to know.
Weekly Letter ef Commissioner Page.
Last week I called attention to j
Crimson Clover and other crops
that naed attention now. At this
time of the year both man and
horse power have less to do than
at any other time during the grow- !
ing season. This year is an un
usual one and we should make j
special efforts to have something
to feed to our stock this wirter.
We are not at all sure that pot
ton will bring a very flattering price
this fall, as the price per bale
dropped $ 19 last week. We should
not, by any means, depend upon
cotton money to buy corn this win
ter. The corn crop is seriously
hurt in every section of the coun- (
try and Arkansas has fared no bet
ter than the rest of the corn belt.
In my opinion, feed will be a little
h trd to g?t at the customary prices
this year.
The early hay crop 1 as been
pretty badly burned arid at the
oresent time Arkansas is not in an
independent position so far as the
amount of feed on hand and in
sight is concerned. Sometimes
Southern farmers are very justly
criticized for not raising their own
seed stuff when conditions are so
idea). We have time yet for some
crops and Arkansas must not be
found in the want column next
winter. We will doubtless find
many of our own neighbors who
will want to buy feed in the late
winter, and if you raise too much,
it is almost certain you can find a
ready market for any character of
feed you grow.
Unfortunately many of us have
had to depend on our neighbor
states heretofore, but the peculiar
situation now is. will we be able to
realize sufficient cash for cotton to
buy corn? Corn everywhere has
been damaged more or loss and it
is reasonable to suppose that we
will have less cotton money this
fall and a higher price for feed
stuffs.
] he idle teams can be Dut to
work preparing land for oats, rye, j
wheat, bur clover, crimson clover. |
vetch, cow peas, sorghum, late pot- I
tatoes, a late garden and alfalfa.
Sow the winter turf oat. If you
have had only a small acreage
heretofore, double it now. Every
acre of idle land should be made to
work this. fall. Sow some rye or
I crimson clover in the corn and cot
I ton middles, .anq if you have a small
j acreag'e^of clovers, increase it no w.
j Everyone realizes the value of win
! ter growing crops, but we have not
been so accustomed to late sum
mer farming as we should be.
Thousands of our far mers are ex
perimenting with alfalfa this year.
Try some of the other crops also.
We must take care of our stock
with more crops because cotton is
too uncertain this year. Wiieie
the corn crop has failed, it is of
still greater importance to work
this summer.

If sudden sickness should cause the doctor to have to
come in haste to save your life or the life of some member
of your family, it would be very embarrassing to have to let
him go away, without his pay.
If fire should sweep away your home and household
goods, it would not be a pleasant task to ask friends to help
you out.
if the loss of your job or the change to a better one
should necessitate a long move, it would not be making a
good showing to have to borrow money to make the trip.
If the chance of a lifetime should come to you to invest
in some good and profitable business, it would not be a very
pleasant or encouraging experience to have to let it pass
you by because you did not have the money to take advan
tage of your opportunity.
