his grandmother.

W. J- Cole, one of Bird Town
ship’s oldest citizens, died last
Friday at Heber Springs. The
remains were brought back to
this his old home county, for
burial. Mr. Cole was the only
son of the late Uncle Rye Cole,
who was known for miles as the
noted bear hunters. Mr- Cole
was one of Bird Township’s
mot successful farmers, he hav
ing large land holdings in the
county. The deceased was bur
ied on the same farm that he
was born on fifty-five years ago,
which farm he and his father
have owned for years. The de
ceased leaves a widow and seven
children. He was a progressive
citizen and was found at all
times promoting what was
right. The Rev. W. P. Talking
ton of the local Methodist
church preached the burial ser
vices.
Johnnie Moore, who is at
[Booneville, writes back home
that he is improving. This is
good news to his many friends
| in this section of the county.
There was once a sheep herder
who after working for two years
was obliged to take land instead
[of money for his pay. Many
years went by and then—no,
they didn’t strike oil on his land.
They didn’t strike gold. They
didn’t even strike lead. They
; struck population. The country
filled up and they made a city
out of his poor land. He became
the capitalist of that little town.
! If you would learn the lesson of
| sure investment, all you have to
jdo is to buy a piece of land.
There is only so much of this
; old earth and it is filling up rap
! idly. Some day America will be
jlike China and the landless
I American will be like the poor
Chinese. Think over this story
and then call on Jackson County
Realty Company at Tuckerman,
| Arkansas. We will make the
| safety of your present a twin to
the certainty of your future. It

.Kirby W ilHng To Furnish Data !
On Senator Clarke.
Special to Independent.
! Little Rock, June 25. —Re
cently there appeared in an issue
of the Saturday Evening Post an
| article by a very brilliant writer |
ion United States Senator James
. P. Clarke. There was no sparing
1.1 * -I M 11 t -1 T • it
me ruu aim spun me cirnu in me
article, and while giving the sen
ior senator credit for being a
man of great ability, it also sing
ed the hair a little as it went
once over.
Now comes the second chapter
of the story. It was written by
William F Kirby, who is now
quite busy as an Associate Jus
tice of the Arkansas Supreme
Court, and who recently figured
in a contest which may be recall
ed by some of the older citizens
of the state . Judge Kirby has
written this letter to the editor
of the Who Is Who column of
the Saturday Evening Post. He
states that he indorses every
word in the article, and while
the assertions contained therein
would indicate the writer un
derstood Senator Clarke, that he
could have furnished some more,
and intensely interesting matter
for the article if he had been con
sulted. Judge Kirby asks the
editor to keep him in mind, and
if at any future time he de
sires to again refer to Senator
Clarke, to drop a line and he will
supply a volume, with sidelights
galore, gleaned from close polit
ical touch with Senator Clarke.
The Saturday Evening Post ar
ticle was indeed amusing, partic
ularly to the close friends of Sen
ator Clarke, who saw the great
compliment paid to him even a
gainst the will of the writer, who
was very evidently prej udiced a
gainst him.
Along this line, indorsing is
not all done by Judge Kirby. Af
ter the Kirby contest had been
[rejected by the State Democra
ic convention at Pine Bluff, and
[after Senator Clarke had made
his never to be forgotten trib
ute to Arkansas* governor, as
serting that he would rather
serve under a Republican as I
chief executive than under a I
governor who stole his election.
Stephen Brundidge went to the
room of Senator J. P. Clarke and
congratualted him upon his re
marks.
“Senator,” said the White
county statesman, who had been
a personal enemy of Senator
i Clarke for many years, but who
chose to support him in the con
vention, “I do not come here
to get in your band wagon, or
to bury the hatchet, but I do
indorse every word you said re
garding stolen elections ”
Col. Brundidge extended his
hand and Senator Clarke grasp
ed it in an earnest handshake,
and a political grudge of many
years standing was shattered.
One Word 3h<s Could Say.

cords her an remitting, patient eu

Once, failing in all else, she tried
mild dose of gentle ridicule. "Yo’
can’t say 'food,' can you, Blanche?
she smiled, teaslngiy. "T can sa

tort.
