Harrison Already Planning.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 27.—Donald
A. Biggs, editor and publisher
of the Harrison Herald, was in
the city Monday and reports
that the people of Harrison,
one of the most rapidly devel
oping towns in the country, are
already planning entertain
ments for the 1915 meeting of
the Arkansas Press Association.
It will be the first time the city
has ever entertained a state
convention of any kind, and it
will be a big event in its history.
It has been suggested that Har- j
rison adopt as its title, the Pearl
of the Ozarks, and the sugges
tion has met with favor.
Apportions State Aid To Schools
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 26—A meet- (
ing was held at Supt. Cook’s
office Monday, for the purpose
:;f apportioning state aid to
high schools for the next schol
astic year. There were 148 ap
plications, including 12 for nor
mal high schools, 42 for four
year schools, 46 for three-year
■fchools and 48 for two-year
?chools. State aid is a demon
strated success, and the mem
bers of the Board are emphatic
in their commendation of the
system.
All schools receiving aid must
nave at least three teachers, two
for the grades, and one for the
high school. One of the provis
ions is that no teacher may
teach more than eight periods
of forty minutes, or seven peri
ods of 45 minutes in any school
day. The two year schools
shall receive $200, three year
schools $250, four year school
$300, and the normal schools
$500. Last year in addition to
these amounts the schools re
ceived $4 for each pupil attend
ing from outside the district, the
provision being that tuition
shall be free to any pupil in the
county attending the schools.
The only school in Jackson
county to which state aid is ex
tended under these conditions,
is the Swifton high school.
Galloway College Homecoming.
Hundreds of he Gallowray al
umnae will return to their alma
mater this week and next, to be
special guests in the various
homes of Searcy. There is no
one thing in which Searcyans
take more pride than in extend
ing the glad, free hand of true
hospitality to visitors; but on
this occasion it seems that in
terest is more hearty and unani
mous to make the home-coming
and twenty-fifth anniversary of
our grand institution a memor
able event in every detail- But
why not; when the purest
and ablest of Arkansas’ wom
I anhood are the recipients and
most interested participants on
an occasion of state-wide inter
est which will prove an epoch
in women’s education in Ark
ansas. Searcy shall ever con
tinue loyal to Galloway College
and at this time we are glad to
extend a hand of generous wel
come to the illustrious daugh
ters of this noble institution.—
Searcy Citizen.

CONSTIPATION,
Us Cause and How to Cure it
Eat too much,
Stomach feds bloated,
All out of sorts,
Don’t feel like work to-day. Guess
I’ve another case of biliousness.
"Take anything*”
"Yes, some pills, but no results; sup
pose I’m getting ironalad. Sometimes l
double the dose, then they physic me sc
hard I’m too weak to work. Think I’L'
have to try something new.”
"Ever try Prickly Ash Bitters?”
"No; I’ve heard a good de»l about it
but never tried it.”
"Well, you’ll be pleased with the re
suits.”
The purgative action of Prickly Ask
Bitters not only removes hard impac
tions, gas and impurities, but it strength
ens the muscular action of the boweli
which causes them to move regularly;
Prickly Ash Bitter0* is a bowel tonic
and regulator in the truest sense, it
promotes daily evacuations, establishet
healthy movements and is the best
known remedy for disordered digestion,
flatulence and a constipated habit.
D. M. Blackwelder, of Litchfield, 111., says 1.
the Litchfitid News: ‘‘I am perfectly willing, in
fact glad to testify to tne value of Prickly Ast
Bitters as a medicine for the kidneys, stomach
.nd bowels. I ha'-, ased it whenever I needed
anything of the kind for the last fifteen year:
and it has always given satisfaction."

Banquets Senior Class.
Regardless of the fact that
school days are over, the Senior
class which has been a very pop
ular one, continues to receive
social courtesies from their
friends and admirers, and a
more beautiful affair could not
have been planned than the
banquet tendered the class at
the Camille Cafe Tuesday even
ing by its proprietor, Mr. Mc
Cutcheon, who expressed an in
terest in school girls and boys
and took this opportunity to
have them his guests for the
evening.
The long banquet table was
beautifully arranged in the
class colors of green and white,
the same color appearing in
some of the courses served
The girls of the class were
beautifully dressed in full ev
ening attire and with the gen
tlemanly young boys presented
a pretty scene around the ban
quet table. Prof. Edgar Wil
liams gave a toast for the class
to Mr. McCutcheon, who re
sponded in a splendid few min
utes’ talk to the girls and boys.
At the time of leaving, the class
gave their yells for the host,
thus ending a very delightful
affair.
Those present were Misses
Josephine Deaderick, Mary
Bains, Julia Younger, Nellie
Snetser, Willie O. Minor, Stella

Will Be Candidate For Governor
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 26.—There
is an old saying that you must
go away from home to hear the
news from home. While the
Little Rock correspondent of one
of our largest papers was in
Jonesboro last week, he was in
formed that Wallace Davis, son I
of the late United States Sena
tor, would be a candidate for
governor in the next Democratic
primaries. The crop of candi
dates is large, to say the least,
and the route being long, and the
road a rough one, quite a few
will be jolted out of wind before
any great distance has been cov
ered. '$'4
