GLAIZE CITIZENS PROTEST.
Some of the good citizens of
Glaize township are protesting
against the appointment of
judges of the election taken from
other townships. W. W. Lee is
a resident of Breckenridge town
ship, and has been named as one
! of Glaize’s judges. The integri
ty of this gentleman is not ques
tioned, but the voters of Glaize
township feel that there is an
ample sufficiency of good citizens
within her own boundaries to fill
such positions and to fulfill the
law in this regard.
Mr. Lee lives across the river
from Glaize township upon the
farm of John H. Keel, and is
thus a citizen of Breckenridge
township. Every judge and
every clerk is an advocate of
Davis.
The first list of judges and
clerks submitted from Barren
township by its committeeman
did not meet with approval some
where and was replaced by that
given in another column of this
issue. The why and wherefore
of this can best be answered by
Mr. Keel and his friends.
MRS. 0. D. WATSON

in a very pretty way with a 1
o’clock luncheon Tuesday in
honor of Mrs. William Harrison
Gregg of Joplin, Mo.

the table was a large bowl of
violets and fern leaves. The

Garland, Saline, Pulaski, Prairie,
Lonoke, Woodruff and Monroe

Brinkley, Cotton Plant, Hazen
and DeVail’s Bluff suffered. In

Geo. Ross and a number of other

good business getting out hewed

dered at present by high water
from Partee creek.
Simon Jacobs of Poplar Bluff'

getting willow and oak crossties.
George Clawson is making
quite an improyement on his lit

The heavy rains of Saturday

advantage to the farmers here.
Leon Osman and Chancy Graves
were in town all o k Sunday.
Partee creek is very high here
now and is still rising.
More Wood men every day.
Look out, John, we are coming.
If Jeff is for the one gallus
men, as he calls them, what made
him veto house bill No. 523?

you are a goner.

E. N. AUSTIN.
Coffeyville, March 21.—Mr. E.
N. Austin of near here, died at
his home Saturday afternoon at
4 o’clock. The deceased has been
a member of the Christian church
for many years and was buried
Monday at the Coffeyville ceme
tery, the services being con
ducted by Rev. C. G. Tucker.
He was a kind, open-hearted
gentleman, who doubtless goes
to meet his reward for having
been faithful over few things,
he will be made ruler over many
as the Word has promised.
