E. R. Hysmith, and family, of

Sunday.
Miss Zella Hunt, of the Allen

Rev. Brickell, of Brinkley, de
livered a fine sermon at 11:00
o’clock Sunday, a. m.
Reverends Cagles and Mathis,
Baptist ministers, are carrying on
a protracted meeting at Hunter.
Miss Docia Caples, of Cotton
Plant, who has been visiting rela
tives in Hunter, returned home
Sunday.
The Baptist Ladies Aid gave a
fine supper Saturday night, and
the crowd was so large that the
supper didn’t last but a few hours.
Rev. Porter, the rail road mast

Messrs Riggs Bros., are instal
ling a new 12-horse power gasoline
engine of the Olds make. To give
an idea of the increase in the shop
work done by these gentlemen in
the past nine months, the follow
ing will tell. Some nine months
ago they purchased a three horse
power engine for their shop, but
before three months time had
elapsed they found that ’twould be
necessary to get a larger engine.
These gentlemen being close
friends of the editor’s and frequent
visitors to his office, always found
us over-run with job work, and!
seeing where we could by the use I
of power and the abandonment of
the old “Ben Franklin” style of
“kicking ’em off,” turn out our
work with more rapidity and in a
more workmanlike manner, sug
gested that we purchase their en
gine. We realizing that some
thing more would have to be done
to do the work being brought to
our office, purchased their engine
as before suggested. As soon as
we had installed the engine, they
ordered another, just double its
power from the Olds Gas & Gaso
line Engine Works, of Kansas
City, Mo. This engine served
them with sufficient power until
some two months ago when it was
found that, by the installation of a
power-hammer and other modern
wording tools, the 6-horse power
engine could not do the work re
quired to accomodate the trade
which they were receiving. Im
mediately upon selling this, their
second engine, to C. W. McCrory
to run the mixing machine for the
manufacture of his concrete blocks,
they ordered another engine from i
the Olds people, just double the
size of the second. Mr. Riggs in
formed us that he thinks they now
have sufficient power to do the
large amount of work being
brought to their shop. The Olds I
engines are second to none in I
strength and durability and M r.'
Riggs has great faith in them as
this is his second order. The above i
gentlemen have secured the agency |
for the Olds engines as can be seen ,
by their ad in another colum of'
this paper, and we would advise
any one contemplating a purchase
to see their engines and prices be
fore buying elsewhere.
—Proulx’ place will be closed
after 8:00 o’clock a. m., July, 4,

C. L. Jones, wife and daugh

Jamestown and Cotter, Ark.
For the benefit of those who
abhor printer’s ink as a prime
factor to the advancement of
their interests, we should state
that Samson—the strong party
—was the first man to advertise.
He took two solid columns to
demonstrate his strength, and
several thousand people “tum
bled” to the scheme. He brought
down the house.
There has been exhibited from
time to time, in this country, and
that far too often, a maudlin and
uncalled for sympathy for crimi
nals of a certain class.If a man com
mits some coramou crime, like
larceny or burglary, but little
notice is taken of the affair. Let
a man, however, commit a murder,
in which a woman is in some way
involved, or any matter of a sen
sational nature be connected there
with, at once a wave of unreason
ing sympathy sweeps over the
land. The newspapers are filled
with it. The criminal is represent
ed as the victim of moral insanity.
He is more sinned against than
sinning. He is undeserving of
punishment, he becomes a hero in
his own estimation and a martyr
in the eyes of his maudlin sympa
thizers. Courts and juries are
eondemned because they have
found him guiltv, and governors
are cursed if they will not com
mute his sentence or pardon him
entirely.
