I i J. R. Pratt of Pocahontas
J found a pearl last Friday morn
fling for which he received the
handsome sum of $1,000. The
• pearl was a pink ball and weigh
ed 47 grains. It was sold to Um

Mr. Pratt has not been pean
\ig regularly, but concluded that
■ | rr orning that he would, try his
! luck in the shallow water. He
’ |had opened a few shells when the
lucky find was made- Mr. Pratt
said this brought to his mind a
dream, which he had a few
nights previous when he dream
ed that he found a fine pearl in
the river near where he found
one in reality.
Three other nice pearls were
| found.-by different parties the
| same day the $1,000 gem was
! found, but they were all small
I and cheap compared with this
one.
The finest pearl of the season
I is said to have been found last
Friday in Black river near No
lle rwt Vm Henrv Turnbull, a fish
! erman of that place. The gem
! v eighed 65 grains and was sold
-to Newport dealers for the neat
, sum of S2.000. —Pocahontas

Candidates For State Treasurer.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock. Aug. 23—Gradu
ally the political line-up for the
ensuing state campaign is as
suming shape. The campaign is
not likely to prove as warm as
some that has recently been
held, but there will likely be
cnmp intpl'pstmr Contests.
R. G. McDaniel, of Clarke coun
ty, who has been in the State
for for a time in the Secretary
of State’s office, and has also
represented his county in the
legislature, is an avowed can
didate for State Treasurer to
succeed Hon. J. W- Crockett,
who will not be a candidate for
re-election. Ernest Tipton, aiso
a deputy in the office, and a son
of the late State Treasurer H. C.
Tipton, will not be a candidate
for the office, although his
name has been frequently men
tioned recently in connection
with it.
For several years it has been
the good fortune of those who
have aspired to the office of state
treasurer to be elected without
opposition. Whether Mr. Mc
Daniel will fare so well napjns
to be seen. The fact the
Treasurer is required to make a
bond of $300,000 has probably
deterred many from attempting
to win the office,

equipment made the tourna

Death Prayer Answered.

Ruth Hamilton died today in an
swer to her prayers. Brief pe
riods of iucidness during the
night were spent by the 17-year
to j * * - rs
she might join her boy lover,
Charles Rich, who shot and kill
ed himself after mortally wound
ing her Wednesd .y night. They
had been* sweethearts a few
months and had agreed to die
together.
“Oh, why don't I die; why
didn’t he shoot me right? I
wanted to be buried with him!”
she moaned continually, not
heeding the tears of her mother
and sister at her bedside.
The motive for the death pact
was the girl’s worry over heart
disease and a recent injury
which Rich stained, making,
both discouraged over the fu- j
ture. |

Storm Loss \t Morrilton.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock. Aug. 23.— A spec
ial from Morrilton says: A se
vere storm swept over .Morril
ton late Friday afternoon, do
ing considerable property dam
!age, causing no loss of life so
far as reported. There was a
very heavy rainfall, accompan
ied by a high wind, and a vivid
lightning display. The smoke
stack of the Morrilton Light A
Power Company was blown
down, demolishing a building
that had only recently been er
ected, causing a damage of
about $1,250. The smoke-stack
of the Planters' Gin Co. was
blown down, three or four hous
es were unroofed and the fence
and four racing stables at the
fair grounds were wrecked.

The Hickory Shirt.
We heai’ a good deal of the
hickory shirt and the high col
lared rascal and a lot of other
jsueli tommyrot in Arkansas poli
ties. What about the hickory
! shirt, anyway?
There has been many a one of
them that covered the back of a
scoundrel and there has been
many a one of them discarded by
good men wlm put on white
shirts and high collars. The
white shirt man of today is the
hickory shirt man of yesterday.
The hickory shirt boy down on
the farm today bids besl promise
to become the white shirt man
of tomorrow. It isn’t the shirt
that counts, it is the environ
ment of the fellow who wears the
shirt. The hickory shirt boy
down on the farm don’t need any
simpering sympathy for the po
litical effect it will have on his
(father. His environment gives
him about a len-to-one advan
tage over the city lad in patent
leather shoes and red necktie
Don’t worry about your hickory
shirts, boys, and daddies, too,
but look out for the fellows who
(have a penchant for fanning the
i hickory shirted farmer, partic
i
; ularly in the game of politics.
We know whereof we speak for
| we have worn both kinds of
j shirts and welched the game
j the while.—Fort Smith South
