Clifton R. Iiarry, attorney, and family have removed from North Sixth street to a pretty bungalow on North Fifteenth street and Grand avenue. According to the Van Huren Press-Argus, the "local bills" Introduced by Senator i. W. Wagner of Crawford county are eloely scrutinized by Senator C.

C. Calvert of Fort Smith. This is the story: The watched senator is 0. W. Wagner of Crawford, and the one who camps on his trail is C.

C. Calvert of Sebastian. The labor leader from Fort Smith was slipped upou by the veteran from Crawford In the 1913 session, and he is not to bo caught napping a second time, lu the last session Senator Wagner arose just before adjournment, and with the Btate-nient that he had a little local bill he desired to introduce, th? senate held off adjournment in order that it be read. The bill was local all right in its character, but it was at the same time general enough to take the lion share of Senator Calvert's district, Fort Smith, in the provisions of a prohibition order which would prevent the sale of liquor within ten miles of Van Huron. Whenever Senator Wagner sends up a bill now he always replies to the query of Senator Caivert, that it is "a little local bill." Hut Seaator Calvert has developed Missouri' tendencies now, and lie demands a sight at Senator Wagner's "litlle local bill' before it is read by the assistant secretary.

t12 North Eleventh street, surprised their friends by getting married last Thursday evening. They are a popular young couple, and will reside with the bride's mother. Although her illness Indicated that her demise was probable, nevertheless when Miss Elizabeth Geheb passed away early Sunday morning at her home near Barling, it was a severe shock for her relatives and friends. The deceased from childhood had been a universal favorite in Barling, a devout member of her church, and admired for her splendid young womanhood.

She is survived by her mother, two brothers, Andie, prominent farmer and Democratic leader, and Ben, residing in Texas, and two sisters, Miss Agness Geheb and Mrs. Alf Williamson.

She closed her eyes in an eternal sleep at the family home on Free Ferry Drive Just before the clock chimed the hour of noon last Saturday morning, January 30th, 1915. Mrs.

McDonough had been ill for over a year, and although her demise had been anticipated, the announcement of it came with intense sadness to hosts of loving friends, while to her husband and children has come a loss that will ever be felt in that Ideal home circle. While the world is filled with grand and noble women, it must be said of the deceased that she was divinely true to all the duties of her sainted Mrs. W. 0.

A member of St. John's Episcopal Church, and active in philanthropic work, Mrs. McDonough's passing from this earth leaves a void in which, as time passes, the memory of her sweet character will daily remind the living of her absence. Possessing the refinement and tenderness which alone come with motherhood, she was constantly performing those little acts of thoughtfulness and kindness which constitute so much of real humanity and give a touch of cheer when a soul is downcast.
