Hallowe’en Party.
Miss Willie Anderson enter
tained a number of her friends Sat
urday evening with a delightful
a Hallowe’en party.
The guests came draped in sheets
and pillow cases, and much amuse
ment was afforded in guessing who
the merry-makers were.
Many interesting games were
played, all made real by the pres
ence of a witch’s cauldron, and the
ghostly lights from many jack-o
lanterns. Punch was served by
by Miss Laura Anderson from an
immense pumpkin. Delicious re
freshments were served.

A HEAVY VOTE IS INDICATED
Large Bryan Majority Expected
in Arkansas.
Taft a Favorite in Batting at Little Rock.
Democrats Would
Celebrate.
Little Rock Nov. 3 —Election
day, with a drizzling rain, but not
very cold, dawned all over the state
with conditions favorable to the
casting of the largest vote for Bryan
and the Democratic candidates in
the history of the state. In all
sections, with the atmospheric con
ditions unfavorable for plowing, the
farmers are joining the townfolks in
rolling up the totals.
Kepuoucan money came in signt
yesterday at 5 to i, and ranged to
10 to 1 before night with quite a few
takers. The Republican money
was forced to turn to states for pro
tection, however, as large bunches
of Democratic money came in
sight. Today the odds are away
up. and what money is being
wagered is by those who are taking
the short end of the money for
mere speculation.
If the tide should turn tonight,
though, and some of the doubtful
states change into the Bryan
column, so his chances would pick
up, business would certainly pick
up in Little Rock, and should
Bryan finally win out there would
be no law sufficient to restrain the
Democratic enthusiasm, which
has been bottled up on the night of
the election, for 12 years, and none
of the officers of the law would
make any effort to check any sort
of a celebration, short of burning
the new Union station or state
house, should it start.
POPULARITY V0TIN6 CONTEST
Two Upright Grand Pianos to be
Given Away.
Contestants Should Get Busy at Once as
the Time is Very Short—Interest
Being Manifested.
The Log Cabin Democrat’s grand
grand popularity contest started
off yesterday under favorable cir
cumstances. Four contestants have
been nominated and many more
are expected in the next few days.
Contestants are urged to get busy
at once as the time is very short.
Remember yen are allowed one
vote for each cent paid on subscrip
tion, but no votes will be given for
less than one month’s subscription
to the Daily Edition and three
months to the Weekly Edition.
This is without doubt the great
est contest ever attempted by any
country newspaper in the state. A
little work on th? part of some wo
man or girl may result in her win
ning one of these grand prizes, and
those who expect to enter should
send their names to The Log Cab
in Democrat at once. A nomin
ation blank ts printed in this pa
per which entitles the contestant to
roo votes. The earlier the entry
is made the better it will be for the
contestant, as subscribers will be
paying their subscriptions every
day from now on, and many may
desire to cast their votes at once.
The pianos will be on display in
a few days. They are excellent
instruments and make prizes of
which anyone might well be proud.
Following is the standing of the
contestants till noon today.
Miss Mollie Livingston.500
Miss Evie Shaw.100
Miss Mary Newbern.100

FULL ELECTION
NEWS TONIGHT
Unless the race is unexpectedly
close, the people of Conway who
go to the Crystal Theatre will know
by nine o’clock who will be their
next president.
Arrangements have been made
by the Board of Trade, Manager
Frisby of the local phone company
and W. N. Owen whereby not only
the full Western Union bulletin
service, but also that of the Ameri
can Telephone & Telegraph Co.
will be received and flashed at the
Crystal Theatre.
As the polls close in New York
at 4 p. m. our time and correspond
ingly early in other states, the re
turns will probably begin to come
in as early as 6 p. m. and enough
news to forecast the result will be
in within a few hours. The bul
letin service will be continuous,
the bulletins being flashed as rap
idly almost as they can be read by
the audience.
An admission fee of 25 cents
will be charged.
CANNING FACTORY SECURED
Big Plant to be in Operation Here
Next Year.
Board of Trade Secures Location of Fac
tory which will Employ 75 to
100 Hands.
| |
Through the Board of Trade of 1
this city a large canning factory
with a capacity of 10.000 cans;
per day has been definitely located 1
at Conway and will be in opera
tion next season. The factory ,
will be established by W. J. Cun
ningham of Iinola, with whom the
board has been negotiating for '
some time, and will employ 75 to
100 hands during the canning
season.
Mr. Cunningham is now in cor
respondence with machinery deal
ers and expects to have everything ;
in readiness early next summer. ;
The site for the factory has not i
yet been definitely dtcided upon,
but several arc under considera
tion.
The principal product of the
factory will be tomatoes, although
fruits and other vegetables will be
canned. An immense amount of
tomatoes will be canned by the
lactory, and secretary G. h.
Bahner of the Board of Trade de
sires to secure the names of such
farmers and truck growers as will
agree to plant a definite amount of
tomatoes next year. For a limited
time he is authorized to make con- j
tracts with growers for the factory j
at the rate of 20 cents per bushel
for tomatoes.
The canning factory when fully
developed will be a great help to
conway and surrounding country,1
as it will give light employment to
many people during the dull season i
and will provide a steady market
for vegetables at a time whem cash
is usually scarce in this section.
