A school boy’s composition on
“The Editor’’ ran as follows:
“The editor is one of the happiest
beggars in the world. He can go
to the circus in the afternoon and
evening without paying a farthing,
also inquests and hangings. He
has free tickets to the theaters,
gets wedding cake (?) sent to him
and sometimes gets licked, but not
often, as he can take it back in the
next issue, which he generally
does. While other folks have to
go to bed early, the editor can sit
up every night and see all that is
going on.”

1907, Little Hubert Ball, aged
three years.
“And Oh, when aweary, may we
be so blest,
And sink like the innocent child
to rest,
And feel ourselves clasped to the
Infinite breast.”
Thus over a happy home the
shadow of a little grave has fallen:
and as another has said, it is won
derful how long a shadow a little
grave can throw.
This beautiful baby life was so
precious, so frought with blessing
to his parents that he seemed a
flower of paradise permitted to
bloom for a brief season by their
side, then recalled to its nature
skies, leaving the earth road for
them dark and lonely indeed.

The funeral services were held
at the Odd Fellow’s cemetery Fri
day evening, conducted by Rev. H.
T. Raney. Many of the relatives
and friends of the sorrowing fami
ly were present, and as they look
ed upon the sweet, placid little
body in its casket and surrounded
by beautiful and fragrant flowers
—yet not more beautiful or pure
than the little face within—their
hearts swelled in sympathy for the
bereaved family. But let us not
think of Little Hubert as dead,
but as living; not as a flower that
has withered, but as one that
transplanted, and touched by a
Divine hand, is blooming in richer
color and sweeter fragrance than
those of earth.
HUNTER.
By Our Regular Correspondent.
Several Hunterites took in the
circus at Brinkley, last week.
Born : To Mr. and Mrs. Har
ris, Monday, Oct., 14. 1907, a fine
baby.
Milton Doss, while using an ax
let it strike the top of his foot cut
ting it very badly.
Miss Bob and Onnie Stewmon,
of Cotton Plant, are visiting rela
tives, Chas. Seiber, and wife.
Jno. Seiber, of Louisiana, a
former resident of this place, is
here on a visit to relatives.
E. Slain, of the Allen Holmes
neighborhood, was here Saturday
and Sunday, the guest of Chas.
Baker, and wife.
Miss Mamie Hale, who had
recently moved to Penrose, took
sick with pneumonia which caused j
her death, Friday, October, 18, at j
12 o’clock p. m. Her remains
were brought to Hunter for burial j
in the Hunter cemetery, last Sun-;
day. A host of friends and rela- j
tives are left to mourn her death, i
One of the most disgraceful acts
performed in this vicinity, of late,
was that of thrashing rice on
the Strickler rice farm, last Sun
day. Several of our citizens were
visitors to the farm on the above
date and returned with the above
report. This “wholesale” work
being done on the Sabbath day
should not be allowed and we
would suggest that the hand of
the law be applied if such is con
tinued and not stopped at once.
DEVIEW.
By Our Regular Correspondent.
Mrs. Morris, of Searcy, is visit
ing her son, Dr. J. W. Morris,
this week.
R. L. Wright, of Magazine, is
visiting friends and relatives here,
this week.
The farmers who have already
harvested their corn report a very ■
short crop.

guest at the home of her brother,
Dr. J. W. Morris, this week.
C. H. Jackson, book-keeper for
the gin of A. S. Thompson, is
again at his post of duty.
W. H. Gray’s many friends are
sorry to learn of his cotton gin
burning at Grays Monday.
*
From the amount of cotton-seed
the farmers are taking home,
planting seed will not be so scarce
next spring.
We notice the political pot be
ginning to boil. If you are in the
race, tell us about it in the papers.
We will do the rest.
John King was in Wynue, last
week. Wonder what is the at
traction there for the gentleman.
Go it Johnny while you are young.
J. W. Gibson, of Bradford, one
of Woodruff’s old timer, came in
Saturday to visit his son, J.M.Gib
son. He returned home Wednesday.
If the people would assess their
property at a full market value,
the rates of taxation would be
a good advertisement for our
county. We doubt, very much, if
there is a tract of land in Wood- -
ruff county that is assessed at one !
half its real value. We know of!
land in this township that is not
assessed at more than one fourth,
of what it can be cashed for, and
personal property is being assess
ed at still a lower margin. Give,
us the law that will allow a man’s 1
property to be sold at its assessed
amount and this state of affairs
will not be.
