In response to a profuse distribution of
circulars, the ringing of the courthouse
bell and the parading of the street by the
colored brass band, large crowd was gath
cred at the courthouse last night to hear
public speaking. The appointment was
for Judge Houk, but very
large proportion of the crowd went with the
expectation of hearing a joint discussion
between him and Wm. Rule, his opponent
for Congress, but when Houk announced
from the stand that he could not divide
time. making the pretense that it was not
his meeting there was general
feeling If disappointment and in
dignation at such an unfair and choking off
scheme.
Houk proceeded in his characteristic style
for more than AID hour rand half, though false
ly pretending at the outset that he, wasn't go
ing to make speech. At the close of his
harangue, calls were made for Gibson and
Yardley, but Dick Austin popped up on the
table before he was ca led for, and recited his
little piece, eulogistic and Mandatory of his
"boss," which is, of course, a portion of
the contract which keeps him in position.
Following Austin, Henry R. Gibson re
sponded to call and bounced up to add
his mighty influence to the cause of his
boss" and benefactor. The meeting
was brought to close with a few re-
marks by the celebrated Ex-Governor
Yardley, and the crowd dispersed, after a
siege of over two hours

For Prosecuting Attorney

Under head of announcement IN
this issue, will be found the name OF
Mr.. VIM, b. Edrington, as can
didate for the office of Prosecuting
Attorney, for the second Judicial
district.
Here in Mississippi county, where
Mr.. Edrington was born and raised,
no words of commentator are need
ed. But to the citizens of the other
counties in the district, where Mr.,
Edrington is not so well known, We
most cordially commend him as a
young lawyer OF ability, and man
of unbending integrity, and in every
respect sober man. We think
that our county is entitled to the Of
flee, and especially when we offer tc
the voters Of the district n man Of
Mr.. Edrington's character. We be-
lieve him to be the choice of large
majority of our people here at home,
and will be proud to record his elec.
tion in the district.

nine months preceding, and that by
the increasing demand of small guam
titles of the stuff from parties along
the railroad, Helena will be nothing
but harbor for those pint and quar- t
bottle fellows, and already we un-
derstand great amount of il is being
handled. This is not as it should be,
and shows conclusively that the three
mile law can't be stopped entirely.
Though we hope it win be, yet the
small trafic that is being done is not
an evidence Of same. We shall
watch it.--Monroe Co. Sun.
The above is a good suggestion.
We never could see why it was that
certain towns and cities should be
exempt from the provisions of the
three mile law. This has been the
one great stumbling block in the
way of the prohibitory law over the
entire state, and was the strongest
point urged 10y anti-temperance ad
vocates. Let the next legislature
see that this discriminating clause in
the three mile law, in favor of cities
and towns of the second class, be
repealed.

his small change. How many things
do individuals and families buy they
do not need or cannot afford. Think
twice before you spend that little
coin. Do not be stingy or mean, but
also do not be foolishly self-indnl-

far more likely to become ungener-

& Cheerful Home.

4 single bitter word may dispute
an t.re family a whole day; one
glar 5a cast r. Gloom over the house
hold, vli.e a smile, ike a CLEAN o.
sunshine, may light up the darkest
and weariest hours. Like unexpect-
ed flowers, whichfspring up along
our path, full Of freshness, fragrance
and beauty, so do kind words and
gentle acts and sweet dispositions
make glad the home where peace
and blessings dwell. No matter
how humble the abode, il it be thus
garnished with grace and sweetened
with kindness and with smiles, the
heart will turn lovingly toward il
from all tumults of the world; if it
be ever so homely, it will be the
dearest spot beneath the circuit OF
the sun. And the influences of home
perpetuate themselves. THE gentle
grace of the mother lives in the
daughters long after her head is pill
lowed in the dust of death; and
fatherly kindness finds its echo in
the nobility and courtesy of sors who
come to wear lis mantle and fill his
place; while, on the other hand, from
an unhappy, misgoverned and disor-
dered home, go forth persons who
shall make other persons miserable,
and perpetuate the contentious and
strifes and ratings, which have made
their own early lives so wretched
and distorted.
Towards the cheerful home the
children gather "as clouds and as
doves TO their windows;n while from
the home which is the abode of dis
content and strife and trouble, they
fly forth as vultures to rend their
prey.
The class of men that disturb and
disorder and distress the world are
not those born and nurtured amid the
hallowed influence of Christian
homes; but rather those whose early
life has been P scene OF trouble and
vexation, who have started wrong in
the pilgrimage. and whose course il
one Of disaster to themselves and
trouble TO those around them.- En-

Now that prohibition is being de-
clared in the smaller towns of the
state, we would make a suggestion
that when the next Legislature meets,
that that body will frame bill to
the effect that the whiskey traffic be
declared prohibited within her entire
border, including Little Rock, Hele-
ma, and other towns of second class.
The way the law now stands the
present system is only feeder to
those towns who are carrying license.
1t is but meet and right that such
should be the case, and would be q
restriction that the people of the en-
tire state will approve and endorse.
Little Rock or Helena have no more
right to sell ardent spirits than Ciar-
enden. Prescott, Forrest City or any
other smaller town, and if they have
the right we would like to have a
little light ON the subject. We will
wager almost anything that within
the next nine months the Golfers OF
the Helena whiskey men will be
largely in excess Of that of any other

GOVERNOR Crittenden has adopted
novel way of ridding the state Of
Missouri of desperadoes: He hired
the Ford boys to slay Jesse James,
had them tried for murder, sentenced
to be hung, when he stepped in and
pardoned them. Now the country
will look for him TO hire some one to
murder the Ford boys, and keep this
system of police up until the outlaws
ofthat state are ali laid under the sod.
