CARNIVAL DRAWING CROWD
Having a Good Run in This City Capt
High Wallace Hurt.
The Modern Carnival Co. which
has been showing here this week
has had a fine run on all the dif
ferent shows, especially the negro
minstrels, society circus and Turk
ish theatre. The mi-.strels are
something above the ordinary kind
and they keep you laughing
throughout the performance. In
the society circus some fine trapeze
acting is done and the educated
g rats do some wonderful feats.
Cipt. High Wallace, who makes a
high dive in the afternoon aud
night, was painfully but not seri
ously injured last night by the
net’s giving way. He was hit on
the jaw by a large stake, cutting
a painful gash, and was consider
ably bruised. He has been mak
ing the dive from a 105 foot ladder
but will add another 15 feet today,
making the ladder i ->o feet high.
This is one of the best attractions
of the carnival and by far the most
dangerous.
CLAIMS SHE
WAS R088ED
Mrs. Harry Whipple, whose
husband operates a concession at
the Modern Carnival Co., now
playing here, was robbed of £16
by three highwaymen on ‘)ak
street last nigh., according to state
ments made by her this morning
Sne says she was returning bom
the show grounds to the Markham
hotel, where she is boarding, short
ly after ten o’clock last night, and
as she passed Boydston & Adams’
meat market three men ran out
from the side of the building and
overpowered and robbed her. One
of them, she states, threw his
hand over her mouth to keep her
from screaming, while another
held a pistol in her face and took
a pocketbook containing ^16 from
her coat pocket. Mrs. Whipple
says the men wore slouch hats
which concealed their faces, and
she could give no description of
their appearance.
Canning Factory.
J. W. Dixon of Carlisle, man
ager of the Carlisle canning facto
ry is in the city today to confer
with VV. J.Cunningham in regard
to the machinery and equipment
for the factory to be installed in
this city. Mr. Dixon believes that
a small canning factory would be a
paying investment here.
The Lull Before the Storm
As we anticipated, the voting today has been light, on account of
the announcement in yesterday’s weekly and today’s Daily Edition of
our big speciai offer for ten days beginning tomorrow.
These ten days will probably be the decisive period of the contest.
During that time, when the contestants will receive just twice as many
votes tor subscriptions paid as at any other time during the contest, it
is expected that the real contenders for the handsome prizes will be
shown.
It is not yet too late to enter the contest—it has only just begun.
The voting did not begin until ten days ago and the contest will last
thirty-two days longer. The next ten days will be the time in which
to do the work, as 200 votes will be issued for each cent paid on sub
scription during that time, provided the votes are cast when issued;
and this offer positively will not be repeated. In addition to this there
are some bonuses ranging from 250 to 1000 votes for the contestants in
in each district making the greatest gain during these tenaays. These
extra votes will be added to the contestants entitled to them on Wednes
day, Nov. 25.

Hon J. H. Harrod Calls Attention to Mat
ters of Interest to This
County.
Kditor Log Cabin Democrat:
The first volume of "Pioneers
and Makers of Arkansas," just
published by Prof. J. H. Shinn,
contains many facts of interest to
Faulkner county people. It ap
pears th it the little town of Cadron,
that once stood on the east bans. of
the Arkansas at the mouth of the
Cadron, was an important factor in
the state's territorial history. Ja
cob Pyeatt moved to Cadron in
1815 and founded a new settlement.
In 181S there was a sale of town
lots there which broughU$i30o.oo.
In that year John Mcllmurrey,
Amos Kuykendall, Dr. Menifee
and Thomas Tindall lived there.
The historian who visited the place
in 1818 wrote: "The cove in

Is always considered as a
very important asset to a
successful business man and,
we may say he also displays
his usual good judgment rel
ative to banking business and
keeps his money in a good,
strong, successful Bank. We
would impress upon you the
great importance of this fea
ture. Carefully consider this
bank when you wish to dis
play your good judgment in
selecting a bank that is
always ready, willing and
abl fo help you along.

Tindall was a prominent man,
being a member of tbe Council cf
Nine that composed the legislature
of the Territory af that time. In
1820 he led a movement to change
the county seat of Pulaski county
from Little Rock to Cadron, and
came near being successful. In
fact there was a great sentiment at
one time to move the capital to
Cadron. The first post office wras
established there in 1820 with
Thomas H. Tindall as postmaster.
The old maps of the Territory
show a road leading from Little
Rock to Fort Smith through Cad
ron. That, in its time, was the
state’s greatest highway; it is the
old “wire road’’ that runs some
three miles west of Conway. It
seems that Tindall's effort to move
the county seat to Cadron was ably
seconded by Joab Hardin, a mem
ber of the council from Lawrence
county, who afterwards moved to
Pulaski county and settled on the
Cadron. The same maps show
mill sites on North Cadron.
Last Sunday afternoon I visited
the site of the old town of Cadron.
Scarcely a land mark remains to
tell the tale of the early days; bt t
the fact that here once lived ti e
brave men who assisted in aying
the foundations of a great stale
made the spot sacred to me and
invested the scene with an indes
cribable charm. Not less interest
ing is the old road. As I looked
upon it I thought of the pioneers
who, facing all the dangers, priva
tions and hardships of the frontier
passed along there seeking homes
for their loved ones. I thought
also of Absolom Fowler, Albert
Pike and Robert Crittenden, and
the other great orators, lawyers
and statesman who often rode on
horseback along that ancient high
way. To me it was not less sacred
than the old road that leads from
Lexington to Concord, which has
long been the via sacra of New
England.
Faulkner county is rich in his
toric treasure; and if some of Con
way's cultured men and women
would form an historical socie y
they would find much work to do
that would prove of great value to
the future historian. Just where
was that home of Mcllmurrey’s lo
cated? Who was the first man
that ever settled in the present
limits of Faulkner county? Was it
Jacob Pyeatt or some one else?
Where are his descendants? Where
was the first farm opened? Where
were those cld mills located.’' Who
owned them? These and many
other questions of a similar chara
cter would furnish subjects for in
vestigation; and the annual meet
ing would furnish subjects for rare
entertainment for those whose
| hearts turn with affection to the
j memory of the pioneers.
Why cannot that old road in
