TWENTY FOR DAVIS.
Morrilton Has a Wood Club That
Insures a Victory For Oppo
nents of Jeff.
Rev. F. M. Wylie, editor of the
Morrilton Headlight, is one of
the dozen delegates from Morril
ton to the Good Roads conven
tion. To a Little Rock reporter
he made the following statement:
“The main topic of conversa
tion upon our streets is the po
litical situation. Two years ago
Governor Davis carried Welborne
(Morrilton) township against |
Rector by a vote of 319 to 242.
There are now 300 names upon
the list for the organization of a j
Wood Club at this place, with!
new ones being enrolled every
day. A call has been issued for
the members of the club to meet
at the court house Friday even
ing for the purpose of perfecting
the organizaton. It is expected
that this will be one of the larg
i est and most enthusiastic meet- i
I ings of Democratic voters this!
! township has ever had. One of
| the most hopeful features of the
! situation is that the farmers of
the township are joining the club
en masse, and are in the majori
ty. Conway county is all right. ”

GAVE HIM A FRIGHT.
Bat When the Explanation Came
Henry Found Out Thing;* Were
Not So Bad.
He was a constant visitor. He favor
ably impressed her sisters and mother
by his dignified behavior and sensible
conversation. He would probably have
had the same gratifying effect upon her
j father, but as the latter was completely
! immersed in business he was at home
very little of the time. The young man
; had a dim recollection of being intro
I duced to him once and speaking a word
or so, but since that time had not seen
j him at all. However, this didn’t bother
him much, and his love affair came to a
focus rapidly, says London Tit-Bits.
When he asked the young lady to be
come his wife she referred him to her
father.
“I’ll see him to-morrow, dear,” he re
plied.
“No, I don’t think you can,” she an
swered; “he’s going out of town on a
long business trip to-morrow evening,
and so will not be here when you come.”
“By Jove, then,” responded the young
man, “I’ll drop in on him at the office.”
The next day he turned up at the place
of business of his idol’s father. He
knew he was head of the concern. He
made his way into the office and there
confronted a very busy gentleman in
deed. Asking for a moment of the lat
ter’s time, he said:
“I have come to ask you for your
daughter’s hand."
The man addressed stopped, turned
round and looked at him a moment, and
then said:
“I’m sorry to tell you, young man, but
my daughter is to be married to-mor
row."
Without waiting for an explanation
the horror-stricken suitor rushed from
the building. He hailed a cab and drove
madly to the young lady’s home.
‘‘What—what does ft all mean?” he
gasped, as soon as he saw her. ‘‘Speak!
What does it mean? I have just seen
your father at his office, and he says that
you are to be married to-morrow.”
“Why, Henry,” she ejaculated, in a
tone of astonishment, “my father?
Why, he left for the north last night."
A little further conversation revealed
the fact that Henry had been speaking
to her father’s partner.
A Good Sul*.
“Jones has sold all of his manu
scripts and decided to stop writing.”
“I should think selling them all would
be an incentive to him to write more.”
“But he sold them to the Junkman.”

A FEW WORDS ABOVT PEARSON’S MAGAZINE FOR 1904
Pearson’s Magazine appeals to every member of the family. In the words of
a subscriber, “ It is the easy-to-read Magazine.” It is different from any other maga
zine, and by that quality, although less than five years old, has taken its place amongst
the very best sellers. Its field is a general one of wholesome entertainment and
instructiveness.
Following are four of the special features for 1904 :
