Threatening weather of the last
two days has served to keep away a
gooti DKiuy people, though the at
tendance has been fairly good.
Heavy showers last night, but the
track was dry and only a little show
as is evidenced by the making of a
naif mile in 49 today by Mallony in
the fourth race.
Tomorrow is Ladies’ Day and it
will prove the event of the week,
though the weather has not cleared
this evening. By the way, a good
many of the fait sex are not averse
to pul'.log up a dollar or two—no
more—on their judgment of the
winner. One of ila m, the wife of a
superintendent, has three in sne
er -sion to her credit, and whe t makes
i more surprising is tl.at she de

THE CANDIDATES.
Are Rounding Up Today Preparatory
to the Final Struggle.
The county canvass closes today
and tomorrow the sovereign voters
of Greene county will cast the decid
ing vote on who is to be the n:minees
for the various offices.
The campaign has been a spirited
one but the candidates have pulled
through it with little manifestation
of bad blood. The race for she riff has
been exceptionally warm, yet the
friends of the opposing candidates
have wot ked quietly with enthusiasm
and determination and each claims
tlie victory.
The race for county judge has been
exceedingly warm and no one can
tel! how it will terminate. There are
eight candidates, all of them good
men, and each will receive a good
support.
There is a pretty race, too, for
treasurer, b-»lh of the young men in J
the race being popular and each
having a strong following.
The race for circuit clerk, too, is a
mixed problem that can only be un
raveled v i ll the count of the ballots.
Much interest also centers in the
congressional race. Judge Taylor
and Me. T rrish have been in the
county all this week. Mr. Parrish
has spoken at two appointments
where his opponent was not present
—II a! lid ay and Bethel, tie spoke
at Hailiday last night, hays walked
there from Marmaduke, a distance
of sever: miles.
The candidates spoke at Murraa
duke yesterday and were greeted
with the largest audience that has
mat thorn since the canvass opened.
It is conceded by all who heard them
that Parrish had the crowd. Prof.
Moore, who teaches in Hurricane
township is of the opioioa that Par
rish has the township at least two
to one, while others estimate it three
to one and many go so far as to make
it four to one for Parrish. The can
didates have Paragould today and
are speaking at the court house. On
account of the bad condition of the
eather only a small number of peo

PATRICK GUILTY
So Says the Jury After a Trial of
Nine Weeks.
A news report from New York
City says that Albert T. Patrick,
lawyer, was yesterday evening con*
victed of the murder on September
2J, 1000, of the aged millionaire
recluse, W. M. Rick, of that city.
The penalty under the statute is
death in the electric chair.
A scant three hours of deliberation
at the close of a trial prolonged for
nine weeks and replete with sensa
tional interest., sufficed to enable the
jury to reach their vercTet. A motion
for a new trial will be re he, followed
by an appeal, and -m meantime
Patrick will be incare, rated at Sing
Sing. He received the verdict of
the jury with a sa: ca-.tic grin. A
sister who had wii.nested he trial
feinted. The mutdercu man was
worth severe 1 million' .

Owing to Hie rush we have been
in, preparing for, and going
through the examination we have
been unable to report the items of
our institute for the past two weeks;
however, we want to say that we
are still in the ring, not so egotis
tic of what we “know,” perhaps
as before the examination, yet, sat
isfied of the fact that we have ad
vanced very rapidly through the ef
forts of our faithful teachers, and
our own close application to our
work. We realize that time is
short, and that if we rise very high
in this world we must improve the
seconds as they glide by in their
onward flight.
Prof. Threlkeld gave us a pleas
ant call some time ago. lie has
just closed a very successful school
at Gainesville.
i’irs. ianus sent uie .National
Loyal Temperance Legion Banner
to our school last week and Prof.
Thompson gave us a pleasant lec
ture on the work being done by
tlia noble women of oar proud land.
This is a very beautiful bauuer and
was won by Arkansas over all the
other^states which make up our na
tion. Who says Arkansas is not
alright? We want to say, hurrah
for the grand legion mustered un
der the stars and stripes of this
banner! May your work go on.
Prof. I). R. Pool visited o- r
school some days ago. He is an
old pupil of our school, and one of
the best teachers in the county.
Miss Lillian De Weese is in
school again after an absence of
two weeks.
Miss Lurline Grizzard is absent
this week.
Mr. Will McBride visited our
school this week. He may enter
our school.
Miss Irene McPherson was a vis
