’WILL FIGHT TWO-CENT LAW
^Railroads Will Institute Court Pro
ceedings Against Reduction.
The railroads operating in Mis
souri, most of which have lines in
Arkansas, have announced that
suit will be instituted in the Mis
souri court to prevent the enforce
ment of the tvvo-cent rate bill,
which has recently passed the
legislature of that state. Later
arrangements will be made to fight
similar bills in Arkansas and Ala
bama.
'Fhe railroads base their action
-upon the alleged fact that the
legislation is practically convisca
4ory. It is stated that the adop
tion of the bills would occasion a
diminution of revenue and there
fore impair the value of property.
Should the Missouri courts decide
the bill to be unconstitutional, the
same contention will probably be
advanced in Arkansas.
Railway officials are apparently
Tory bitter against the rate bills
and state that their enforcement
will drive many lines out of exis
tence. It is claimed that the in
creased expenses of operation due
to higher wages and better equip
ment have already reduced pro
fits to a minimum. They say that
aftbe law is enforced the public
must suffer from poorer transpor
tation facilities.

A WISE FARMER.
The following is from a Mis
souri farmer’s address before a
farmers’ institute: “As a rule the
farmers know no firmer friend
than the country n/ess. The
home paper is distinctly the farm
er’s own paper, supported direct
ly or indirectly 'b.v the farmers
who compose tile backbone of the
printer’s subscription list, and
largely for what the merchant ad
vertises. Now brothers, let us
not forget our friends. Let us
see that our subscription is paid
before the first of -January, and a
year in advance if we can afford
it. The man or paper who fights
my battles can have my support.
“Another thing, the merchants
who advertise are ones who make
it possible for us to get a good
local paper, and the men or firms
who are too penurious to adver
tise and help support the local
press, have no right to the farm
er’s patronage.
“1 propose hereafter to go to a
good live local advertiser and a
man who will do his share in sup
porting the local press, thus con
tributing to my support, rather
than buy of the man who proposes
to take all and give nothing in re
turn.
TRULY PHILOSOPHICAL
A northern Michigan mer
chant tells a grimly humorous
story of a lumberman in that
section, who, after a hard win
ter in the camps, appeared in the
streets of one of the larger
towns ready and anxious “to
have a good time."
This lumberman had with him
the sum of $500. the proceeds of
his season's labor—a sum for
which he had toiled and slaved
and risked his life in the lumber
jams, enduring the while all the
discomforts and tribulations of
the rigorous winter. With the
$500 thus painfully amassed the
lumberman sought the compara
tive civilization of a lumber
town. He first purchased him
self a big drink and an expen
sive cigar; then hied him to a
faro “joint/’ where lie staked his
entire fortune on a single play.
In another moment he was pen
niless. Shifting the cigar from
one corner of his mouth to the
other, the lumberman cheerfully
observed: “Oh, well; easy come,
easy go.”

MRS. R. H. POWELL DEAD
Good Woman Passes Away After
Much Suffering From Lung Trouble.
Mrs. Elizabeth Powell, wife of
.Judge R. H. Powell, died at her
home near Departee Friday night,
after a prolonged illness from lung
trouble.
The funeral took place at the
First Methodist church at Bates
ville Sunday, the remains being
intered at the Oak lawn cemetery.
From the Batesville Daily Guard
we clip the following sketch of
Mrs. Powell’s life:
Her maiden name was Elizabeth
Gardner and she was born in Jack
son, Tenn., in 1845. She lived
there until she reached young wo
manhood and graduated from the
Jackson Female College. Shortly
after her graduation she came to
Arkansas and taught school with
her brother, John W. Gardner, in
the Academy at Philadelphia, the
old social center of Izard county.
Here in 1878 she married Judge
Powell and for several years they
lived in Melbourne. Then, in
18h2 they moved to Batesville,liv
ing there until about three years
ago, when they moved to Depar
tee. Four children came to bless
their union, of whom only two are
now living. Guy, the oldest, was
drowned a few years ago in White
river and Madge, the youngest,
died in infancy. Misses Ruth and i
Lucie are now living at home.
She has two sisters living, Mrs.
Ransom Gully at Hardy and Mrs.
W. E. Davidson at Ash Flat.
Mrs. Powell has been a member
of the First Methodist church of
Batesville since, she was a young
lady and has ever held the esteem
of all who knew her as a Godly,
Christian woman, a blessing to her
home and and community.”
