Get your answer in at once as the judges pass on them Thurs

If you haven’t seen the Rebus, come to our store and get
a copy. Someone is going to get this piano absolutely free,
why not you? Besides this beautiful instrument, I will give
away $1,000 in checks to contestants in this Rebus Riddle,
which are good for face value, on the purchase price of any
one of our Pianos.
Allow me to say to my friends that I am standing the
expense of this Free Piano and all advertising mysels, not
because I am able, but because I desire to show my appre

Little Rock, Dec. 15. — To his
friends over the state, Gov. Pin
dall is today mailing bark and
chips from one of the historic ash
trees planted at Mt. Vernon by
George Washington, which he
secured while on a visit to that
historic spot last week. Gov. Pin
dall was walking through the
grounds of the park when he came
upon two men chopping down a
tree. He remonstrated with them
and was informed that the superin
tendent had ordered the tree cut
down, it being old and refusing to
yield to treatment. Gov. Pindall
then filled his pockets with bark
and chips and brought them home
to give to his friends as souvenirs.
A. R. Bragg, traffic manager of
the Little Rock Merchants Freight
Bureau, is today sending over the
state letters to shippers, advising
them to stand by their old bill of
lading, and not to accept the new
uniform bill of lading insisted upon
by the railroads of the state. The
Iron Mountain railway has answer
ed Manager Bragg, by saying at
none of its stations wiP an inter
state shipment be accepted, which
is not accompanied by a uniform
bill of lading. The Cotton Belt is
making the same rule but the
Rock Island recently decided to
rescind its order for uniform bill of
lading. The Iron Mountain claims
the interstate commerce commission
ordered the use of the uniform bill
of lading, but in answer to this,
Manager Bragg is using a letter
from the chairman of the commis
sion who states the commission
simply recommended, and did not
instruct the arbitrary use of the
uniform bill of lading.
There will be no prosecution of
Gov. X. O. Pindall for the appoint
ment of A1 Shields, of Little Rock
as expert accountant to examine
the books of the state treasurer,
and thus incurring a debt which
will make a deficiency in the gov
ernor’s contingency fund, as was
intimated yesterday. Gov. Pindall
admits that he has technically
violated the laws of Arkansas, but
insists he would have been guilty
of a more serious violation if he
had neglected to make the appoint
ment. The law requires the gov
ernor to appoint an accountant to
go over the treasurer’s book once
each year, and the accountant to
be paid not more than $200 for the
work, the salary to come out of the
governor’s contingent fund. The
fund is exhausted. The legisla
ture recently passed an act making
it a penal offence for the governor,
or any state official, to incur a
debt in the name of the state, over
the appropriation made for such
purposes. By exceeding the con
tingent fund, the governor has
violated this act. Gov. Pindall says
it was mandatory upon him to
make the appointment, and expects
the legislature to unquestionably
pay the bill. Gov. Pindall says
there would have been no de
ficiency in the contingent fund,
but from the fact he drew his first
$1000 of salary therefrom. Gov.
Pindall states that after that time
he secured money from other
sources upon which to maintain
himself and turned the governor’s
salary over to the family of Gov.
John S. Little.
Kpps P. Brown of DeValls Bluff,
one of the candidates for Speaker
of the House of Representatives,

over his candidacy. He will re

confident of victory.
A recent death of a grand-neice
of Dr. Tom Hodges, of Tittle Rock
brings to light one of the most re
markable families in the state of
Arkansas. The father and moth
er of Dr. Hodges, Mr. and Howell
Hodges, reside at Cane Hill.
They have been married for 52
years, had five children, and
20 grand children, and the death
several days ago was the first which
ever occurred in the family.
