But above all, remember that when you spend your mcney with the home merchant, you are helping two ways to make the season both happy and prosperous—you make glad those for vhctn you buy, and you help those from whom you buy—you keep your money in local trade channels, to go the rounds and hdp to sustain the whole community. And above all, you make yourself happy with the knowledge that you ar? doing your part toward maintain ing your home institutions. Early From the Home Dealer. There's More Coming.

The railroad commission has de cided not to make its contemplated trip to Siloam Springs next Monday, resident Edson of the Kansas City uthorn this week held a conference with the citizens of that city, and reached a satisfactory solution of the depot question. • • • J. S. Carpenter, deputy commis sioner in charge of the liquidation of the Bank of Wynne, was in the citj Friday and secured the signature of Bank Commissioner John M. Davis to three checks for the payment of the first dividend on the liabilities of th< nstitution. The distribution is 40 >er cent, and it is said there will be 'urther dividends. The amount dis tributed this time is about $320,000. see The North Arkansas Oil Company •>f Fayetteville has been incorporated vith Walter Phillips president and G. K. Peckham secretary-treasurer. The capital stock is $20,000, of which $5,000 has been paid in cash and $16,- >OO in equipment. • • •' Gov. Hays has advised the members of the Arkansas railroad commission, who called upon him to lay the mat ter before him, that he is interested in the proposition for the creation of a publicity utilities commission. There has been a great deal of discussion of the subject for some time, and there appears to be a growing de mand for such a branch of the state government. • • • It has been suggested that the railroad commission be converted in to a publi cutilities commission, or that its powers be extended to em brace water works, lighting plants, street railways, etc. A conference is to be called by the railroad commis sion very soon, with the attorney general, governor and others inter ested. to determine upon the course to be pursued. It is possible that the policy may be embodied in Gov. Hays message to the legislature. • • • I There has been o appointment of , members of the state board of char , ’table institutions to succeed Trustees , McCorkle and Elakan, who resigned Friday. Their resignation is a part of the controversy that ia raging । about the board as a result of Dr. Greene’a resignation as superintend , ent 'of the asylum, and his charges I against certain members of the board. I The two who resigned are supporters I of Dr. Groena. Thursday evening ’ while a mass-meeting of citizens was , being held denouncing certain mem- I [ bers of the board for having forced the resignation of Dr. Greene, the | majority of the board elected Dr. > ’ Frank B. Young as his successor for , a term of four years. Other and more sensational developments are believed to bs pending, and the ease promises to become the biggest sen sation ot the present adminlstrattion, though Gov. Hays did not appoint the members of Hie board which is alleged has caused this trouble. o e o There are numerous applicants for the appointment of chief of police of Little Rock, in the event the police committee sustains the mayor n his order of suspension of Chief "'orswell, charged with intoxication. This seems probable, as members of the committee have stated that they have confidence in the action of the mayor. The matter will be formally p;esented to the committee as soon as Mr. Cogswell returns from his .'dim in Montgomery county, which is xpected in a few days. The commit co consists of Chas. E. Smith, E. L. Younger und Clio Harper. “At the Sign of the Christmas Tree." Batesville merchants will be rep resented.
