ng a more or less intimate
knowledge of the condition of
he state’s resources, were on

ober salaries cashed before the

lausted, but there were still sev
iral in line when the last dollar

last week destroyed the Ipourt
house at Des Arc, with all the'
tax books and other record^, the
people of Prairie county will not
be required to pay taxes dn the
new assessment, made for this
year. The reason is that there
is no record of that assessment.
County Judge E. R. Screeton and
Circuit Clerk R. J. Hodges called
upon Governor Donaghey and
Attorney General Norwood yes
terday to discuss the subject,and
ascertain some means of getting
out of the difficulty. They were
advised that there is nothing to
be done but to extend the taxes
on the tax books for 1910,which
escaped destruction, having been
kept in another place. This was
suggested as the better plan, ra
ther than to defer this year’s
taxes, which would require the
collection of two year’s taxes at
one time.

Entertains With Barn Dance.
Miss Corinne Mosby entertain
ed a large number of her friends
Friday evening with an old-time
“barn dance,” which was a de
lightful event and a change from
the usual planned affairs of so
ciety.
In the first place the barn was
an ideal one, roomy, neat and
cleaned and was well heated and
lighted, besides being decorated
with everything pertaining to
Hallowe’en, which was carried
out in every imaginable way, ev
en to the lunch which was hot
weiners, sandwiches, pickles,
peanuts and coffee.
The old-time Virginia reel and
barn dance was danced to the
music furnished by a grapho
phone, and a merrier crowd
could not have been assembled.
Mrs. Mosby and Miss Mosby
were assisted during the even
ing by a number of friends in
serving.
Those present were Misses
Thaddeese Kinman, Willi£ Over

Governors are to $e chosen
next Tuesday in Kentucky, Ma
ryland, Massachusetts, Missis
sippi, Rhode Island and Virginia, *
and in the same states legisla
tors are to be chosen. In New
York City the usual fight be
tween Tamany and the rest of
the field is on over the election
of judges, and in several cAi
gressional districts represema
tives are to be chosen.
The only state contests which
are attracting much attention
are those of Maryland, Kentucky
and Massachusetts. In Mary*
land the democratic ticket is led
by Arthur Pue Gorman. The re
publicans are putting up a
strong fight and owing tc the
fact that the primaries at which
Gorman was nominated were
marked by numerous frauds,
there is a possibility that they
may defeat him.
There is also a fierce fight in
Kentucky between McCreary,
democrat, and O’Near, republi
can. McCreary will probably be
elected. His success, however,
if he is successful, will be large
ly due to the fact that the dem
icrats will vote for him in order
to hold their state in line for the
contest of next year, for his' op
ponent is conceded to be the bet
ter man of the two for the posi
tion sought.
The most interesting fight is
going on in Massachusetts,'
where Eugene Foss, who was
elected to congress in a republi
can district on the tariff issue
and then became governor, is
opposed by Lewis A. Frothing
fcam, the present lieutenant gov
ernor. Foss adheres to his posi
tion on the tariff and attacks
President Taft’s vetoes. Froth
ingham is a standpatter.—Fort

"(Stanimellt Land In State.
Th#t there are 155,OOQ acres
of government land* in Arkansas
ope n to homestead entry, but rtot
for sale, is an interesting item
contained in a bulletin just issu- j
ed by Guy W. Caron, register of r
the United States land office. Mr.
Caron says that most of the land
is fairly rough and covered with
pine or hardwood timber, and he
calls attention to the success
that has oeen attained by the
raising of fruits of abounds, ber
ries and vegetables m the same
sort of territory in Arkansas.
He says the Arkansas climate,
too, is well adapted to farming S
being, “not to hot in summer and
mild in winter, permitting 12
months’ work in the year for the
farmer.”
Any citizen of the United
States over 21 years of age, or a
married man of a younger age,
may homestead 160 acres of this
land, the fee being $14. Five
