Injured Sheriff Dies.
Malvern, Dec. 8.—Sheriff R.
| F. Worley, who was injured last
i week as a result of a wreck of a
' motor car in which he was rid
I ing, died at his home here at 6
1 o’clock last evening
Funeral services were con
' ducted today by Rev. J. W. Har
jrell, and interment was at Oak
l ridge cemetery. Burial was un
der auspices of the Masonic
lodge- The dead officer also was
a member of the Odd Fellows
and Modern Woodmen. He was
prominent in the Methodist
church
Old line and fraternal insur
ance carried by Sheriff Worley
amounted to a total of $10,
000.
A widow and four daughters
survive.
Sheriff Worley’s death was an
indirect result of the murder of
Mr. Williams, G. A. R. veteran,
at Benton- The sheriff, when he
met with the accident on the
motor car, was en route to the
supposed hiding place of one of
Williams’ murderers, hoping to
capture the criminal. The night
was dark and the sheriff did not
see an open switch ahead, and
the motor plunged into it and
was wrecked. The sheriff’s leg
was broken and he was other
wise hurt. Amputation of the
leg followed, but the operation
failed to save the officer’s life.

River Stops Ferries Above.
Calico Rock, Dec. 8.—As a re
sult of recent heavy rains that
have fallen in this section dur
ing the past week, White river
is rising at a rapid rate, and in
dications are that it will reach a
higher stage than has been
known for several months
The public ferry at this place
has been froced to cease opera
tions on account of the sudden
rise of the river, hence trans
portation facilities are almost
cut off from the opposite side of
the river. Many inland points
that depend on the White river
road for mail and freight, which
has to cross the river, are put
at a disadvantage
House Is 104 Years Old.
Norfolk, Dec. 8.—What is
said to be the oldest house in
North Arkansas, the old Wolf
two-story hewn log residence,
will be 104 years old January 1.
It was raised by negroes brought
from the bottoms by Major
Wolfe, the first white pioneer in
this section. Court was held
in one of the upstairs rooms in
the early days.
The walls are still strong and
the old pine logs are as solid as
the day they were placed in the
walls. The property later pass
ed into the hands of Captain |
South, father of Jerre South, a
lawyer of this state. J. H.
Wolfe, a grandson of the old
major, is the present owner
He is more than 70 years old.
He says that he intends to die
here and that the house will be
handed down to the Wolfe fam

joying the best
Of health. It Is
over a year since
she has had a
fit. We cannot
apeak too highly
ot Dr. Miles' Nervine.”
MRS. FRANK ANDBRSON,

Thousands of children in the
United States who are suffering
from attacks of epilepsy are s
burden and sorrow to their parents,
who would give anything to restore
health to the sufferers.
Dr. Miles' Nervine
is one of the best remedies known
for this affliction. It has proven
