Hon, (Y l.. P. Featherston, the mo- body's candidate for congress, shows himself in the last issue of the Linen Pin to be common blackguard and liar, instead of a gentleman worthy of the support of respectable people for the honorable position to which he aspires. He calls the editor of the PREss a hired assassin of reputation one of the most odious epithets that the En- glish language contains. We denounce It as a lie, and the author of it as a pu- sillanimous coward and slanderer.- Paragould Press.
 We rise to a point of order. This kind of Journalism is obnoxious and disgusting, and tends to influence the people to stick to Featherston. We want to beat him, but it must be done fairly and squarely, Don't bring per sonai matter of this nature into the canvass. It is damaging to the democ- racy.

T The Linch-Pin said last week that Greene county had out a full wheel ticket. We deny the charge. The last meeting of the county wheel passed the following resolution and ordered it published:
 Resolved, That the present candh dates mentioned by the subordinate wheels be requested to stand subject to the democratic or republican conven7 tions ,Sc.n <
 We have understood that some sub ordinate wheels have since decided up- on a ticket, but their action has not the seal of the county wheel upon it, and therefore it is not binding upon wheel CTS. The county wheel of Greene county has refused to put out wheel ticket, and wheelers in general are not bound by the action of one or more subordinate wheels.-Paragould Press.

THE Linch-Pin has suspended and Bro. McRaven goes to Forrest City where he has been employed to edit a Featherston organ. If there are enough people in Greene county who are in sentiment politically with the Linch- Pin editor to sustain such a newspa- per, they ought to have rallied as man to the Linch-Pin. It was the ablest organ the political wheelers had in the district But Greene county is not req dy to lay down her democracy The sentiment of the Linch-Pin failed to take root, hence it's demise We wish the editor, financially, the best luck in his new field, and as he is employed at salary to do nothing but write politi- cal buncombe, his Forrest City paper will in this respect be a great improve ment on the Linch-Pin. While he is politically hard old sinner for whom there is no redemption, he is socially good fellow and we have found him to be square man in his dealings. He has our hearty wishes for financial snc- cess and political defeat.-ParagOuld Press.

In this age of extreme activity and wonderful development, it is a note- worthy fact that many women have made their own way in mercantile life, and successfully compete with men in many lines of business. Women. whether they labor in the household or in the store, are all liable to suffer from functional Arrangements and the cares of maternity. For all troubles known under the category of female weaknesses" Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription is tonic and tried specific. It relieves the greatest sufferers, and restores the patient to vigorous health and strength. It is the only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee, from the manufac- turers, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money will be refunded. This guarantee has been printed on the bottle-wrapper and faithfully carried out for many years.
 Dr. Pierce's Pellets cure constipa- tiOn, biliOusness. sick headache, bilious headache, and all Arrangements of the stomach, liver and bowels.

LITTLE RocK, June 1, 1888.
 Since arriving here, I have been interviewed by two or three of l.. P. Featherston's political friends, and requested not to publish the article which appears in another r column, clipped from the Parago.ld Press, in which MT. Featherston is denounced ss a lar and a pusilIan. imous coward. It has been ffered as an inducement, without inquiry an to my motive, that I would got into 6 difficulty. Of this I am not afraid. But 1 desire to be plainly understood. Now, politically. l am MT. Featherston's enemy first, last and all tho while he runs on the independent ticket. While this is true, 1 cannot stoop to meas urcs of this class to injure him. 1 am free 10 confess that deplore the cause which led to such an ar ticle appearing in the Press. My desire is to show the editor of the Press that while l will use all hon. orable means to defeat Feather. ston, think he has taken an un- wise, unjust and mistaken position. 4r. Featherston IS considered here, where he lives, as an honest citizen; as for courage, have no reason to think otherwise than that he has & plentiful stock. In conclusion let me say again that 1 DO NOT in- dorse the sentiments, as expressed by the Press.

UNDER the political education of three or four white men in St. Francis county, the negroes are beginning to think they should hold the offices, do the contract work for the county, and otherwise be held up as criterions. And that they propose to take advan- tage of all things in sight is selfevi- dent. We have no objection to the race in it's place, but we do call halt when that race begins to dictate to caucasians. They must know that this is our country.

ONCE more the people of St Francis county have been insulted and imposed upon by our republican clerk, T. 0. Fitzpatrick. The white people, who pay the taxes, have again had their de- linquent tax list published in the negro paper, having, absolutely, no bona-fide circulation among the tax payers We ask the people whether or not they pro pose to bear these insults without pro- test. Why, the negro, himself, has more race pride, and more respect for the feelings of his race than that. Find us a negro who would publish anything in a white mans paper when he could get "nigger." It is absolutely a disgrace to the county; direct insult to the intelligence of the county, and it leaves black, dirty spot upon the fair name of St. Francis which may take years of hard scrubbing to erase. Will you repeat the doseg We ask you in the name of Grover Cleveland and democracy, decency, intelligence ana all that is clean.

The coffin was the ballot box, the little clods W hich were thrown upon him, were the little ballots of the stalwarts, and the eulogy was very impressing. Come Bro.
