ASSOCIATION ADJOURNS.
Little Rock, Nov. 3.—Having con
cluded the business before it, the an
nual meeting of the General Associa
tion of Baptist Churches of Arkansas
adjourned last night, subject to the
call of the executive committee. If
the Baptist Slate Convention, which
meets in Little Rock November 13-16,
ratifies the peace terms agreed to by
the association, the churches affiliat
ing with the association will, it is ex
pected, instruct their messengers to
the next meeting of the general asso
ciation to dissolve the general asso
ciation and unite with the convention,
and the differences as to mission
methods and other matters will be a
thing of the past.
Many of the messengers to the as
sociation meeting left for their homes
yesterday. The last day of the meet
ing was devoted mainly to consider
ing committee reports. The report
of the special committee on the con
troversy between the home mission
board and Dr. A, J. Diaz, the Cuban
missionary, was adopted. It exoner
ates Dr. Diaz.
CONCUSSION OF BRAIN
CAUSED HER DEATH.
Walnut Ridge, Nov. 2.—Mrs. Mary
A. Boas, owner of the Boas hotel at
Hoxie, and one of the most widely
known women in north Arkansas,
died at her home yesterday morning
at 3 o’clock from the effects of a fall.
Ten days ago while walking across
the floor she stumbled over a rug, and
in falling struck her head against a
chair, causing concussion of the brain.
Mrs. Boas was a devout Catholic, and
the remains will be taken to Pocahon
tas tomorrow and buried in the Cath
olic cemetery.
It was largely through the generos
ity and business methods of the de
ceased that the Iron Mountain termi
nals were located at Hoxie. She do
nated the grounds, 91 acres, for that
purpose. She is survived by one
daughter, Mrs. J. S. Gibson, and one
son, Harry Boas.
THANKS GOD FOR HOG COLERA.
While the meat famine is spreading
in Germany and in Austria, owing to
legislation against American pork and
other meat products, the rich land
owners glory in the prevailing hog
cholera, “as it no longer pays to raise
pigs, anyhow.” Baron Puttkammer,
an agrarian chieftan, was nearly
mobbed by poor people in the little
town of Stolp the other day for saying
at a public meeting: “Let us thank
God for sending the hog cholera.
Since we can’t get our own price for
pork, its better pigs should perish
while young.”
LONG HAIRS IN THE COMB.
A married man has many cares
To vex his weary soul,
A ceaseless round of worriments
His daily life control.
But chief of all the little things
That make him fret and foam,
He goes to dress and finds a lot
Of long hairs in the comb.
They dangle down across his face,
They twine about his nose,
And when at last he shakes them loose,
They ornament his clothes;
’Tis sure enough to drive a man
In savage lands to roam,
This oft’ recurring episode
Of long hairs in the comb.
Of course 1 am a benedict,
With wife and daughters two,
’Tis out of my experience
I weave this rhyme for you;
And oft’ I think the bachelor
Who lacks the joys of home,
Is well repaid in being free
From long hairs in the comb.
For years I’ve been a widower,
My girls are keeping house,
My boarding place is neat and clean
And quiet as a mouse.
And yet sometimes I think ’twould
seem
A whole lot more like home,
If now and then I chanced to find
A long hair in the comb.
—Mortimar Crane Brown.

DOES THx- HIT YOU ?
In discussing Davis and his candi
dacy we frequently hear one of his
professed supporters say: “Oh, well,
1 know that he is all you say he is—a
disgrace to the state and all that—but
he is there and liable to stay for
awhile and I want to use him.” The
idea of an assumed respectable citizen
with a particle of state love or state
pride admitting that for a selfish pur
pose alone he is willing to lend his
efforts towards foisting upon his state
and bis people a standing shame and
disgrace, such aB Davis has proven
and continues to be. Inftour opinion
one so devoid of state lo\j£J and state
pride would prove anotflpr Benedict
Arnold if the opportunity offered.
Aye, even worse, for Arnold got a
price for his infamy, while they pros
titute themselves for a patronage
promise. Yet they tell us that such is
successful politics. If so, may God
deliver us from all such.—Marianna
Courier.
WELLS-FARGO GETS
ANOTHER LINE.
The Wells-Fargo & Co. express Sun
day assumed the run on the White &
Black River branch of the Choctaw,
succeeding the Pacific Express Com
pany. The line is 64 miles in length
and the towns served are Cotton
Plant, Howell, Grays, Gregory, Mar
tin, Tupelo, Weldon, Auvergne and
Newport. The announcement is made
by Local Agent F. W. Haskell. The
joint baggage and express man who
had the Pacific run will be retained as
messenger. Wells-Fargo now has all
of the Choctaw main line and branches
in its service.—Little Rock Democrat.
WITNESSED BIG EXPLOSION.
A number of Yellvillians went out
to George’s creek last Friday, says the
Echo, to witness the big shot in the
cut through the ridge between Crooked
creek and Brooksher branch. A small
tunnel had been carried back about
half the length of the cut, which will
be 200 feet long, and 360 cans of pow
der were planted in the tunnel and
set off. The whole hill was blowrt out
the full width of the right of way,
filling the creek channel with dirt and
rock. Some of the boys who saw the
shot say they think they know about
how Mont Pelee looked during its big
blow-out.
SHOT HER HUSBAND
IN SELF DEFENSE.
Brinkley, Nov. 2.—Josie Cato shot
and killed her husband, Dan Cato,
Saturday night last with a shotgun. It
is claimed that Cato was trying to
shoot her with a pistol and that the
shooting done by her was in self
defense. It is also claimed that Cato
was drinking and that the trouble was
caused from that. The negroes live
near Wheatley. -
CHARGE BOYS WITH MURDER.
Brinkley, Nov. 2.—The two negro
boys, Norman Couch and Henry Bell,
who were arrested charged with kill
ing Winnie Gideon at a gin house
about six miles from here a few days
ago and secreting his body under
some cotton in the gin, passed through
here today to Clarendon in charge of
officers. They will remain in Claren- (
don until they are tried at the next:
term of circuit court. One of the boys
is 14 and the other 19 years of age.

While hunting Bozlcb and Sanders,
the escaped convicts, Wednesday

fined for a time in an Illinois asylum,
from which he had been discharged as

dering about in this county for some
time. He was persuaded to accom
pany the officers with a good deal of
difficulty and is held in jail here for

Pharmacy is a very different art from what it
was a few years ago. It is a growing science,
and the druggist today who tills prescriptions
must be UP-TO-DATE and his stock must be
likewise. New remedies and new methods
multiply. Many prescriptions present problems
which only A SKILLFUL PHARMACIST can
rightly solve. We are prepared to till any pre
scription, no matter where or by whom written.
...PURE DRUGS...
Scientific service and reasonable prices are all
