E S Smith of 'Cotton county
seems to think that the volun-
teer boys of the army now at
the front were overlooked when
the selected boys were feted and
banqueted in Walters on their
departure as five plates
with the names of the first five
boys selected were on them who
had previously gone to the camp
and these plates were left vac-
ant in their memory That was
all done as Mr Smith stated
but we are sure that it was not
an oversight or meant any dis
respect for the volunteer boys
who wjll receive a befitting and
appropriate recognition at some
future time The volunteers
usually left one or two at a time
and to all parts of the army
The real seriousness of the mat
ter had not been appreciated by
the people so when this move
to give the selected boys a cheer-
ing departure was started they
were nearly all predent only
five having gone when the move
was suggested so that five was
included in the class The vol-
unteers were eulogized praised
and extolled highly in all the
speeches and exercises when
and where ever they could do
so They are not in that class
so no plates'were due them as
plates were laid for only those
in the selected number
Inanothercolumnwill be found
a notice calling an election for
the purpose of electing two di-
rectors for the county and town-
ship free fair from each town-
ship of Cotton county This
matter should be given serious
thought and attention by the
voters
We understand a bunch of
mighty good citizens of the
ebunty contemplate moving to
Northwest Arkansas by coming
Christmas We are sorry of
this but most confidently expect
the whole bunch back inside of
two years Col Shackleford
and two sons and Tom Henry
are a part of the contemplated
crew

The Magic City
Camp Doniphin is certainly a
magic city Seemingly as if
by magic it had suddenly sprung
from the bosom of Mother Earth
It was strange and bewildering
to ye editor and wife when there
a few days ago looking for her
two nephews Clay and Carl
Cockerill who she bad been in-
formed were there from Pitts
burg Kansas By the uniform
politeness of the soldier boys we
located them and found one in
the hospital suffering from a
fractured limb The surprise of
seeing us and the nice fruits
etc we took them was a great
joy for all for a few moments as
we had to cut short our visit
We are going to see that those
two fine looking young soldiers
have proper attention while so
close to us
