Mr.. NJ. F. Shaw and family left
| Tuesday for Morrilton, their future
home. Mr.. Shaw Will engage with
Mr.. Lachowski in the foundry bust
ness. He is an experienced and ex-
pert moulder, as was his father before
him. Fl c began the moulder's trade at
16, worked one-half his apprenticeship
at Bradford's shop, Memphis, finish
| ing at the Fulton foundry, St. Louis.
He has 25years experience as a journey
man. and has worked in eighteen states
of America, and in some of the best
shops in England and Scotland. He uE-
derstands perfectly the compromising
of metals for engines, and as a mould
er has few equals. He was with the
Russellville foundry when it was start
ed and has distinguished himself in
many ways. Among his latest work
are the new iron fronts for the new
! business houses to be built here this
summer. In entering business for him
self he brings to his aid the practical
experience of many years and an un-
firing energy, two prerequisites to
success.
During the rain and hail storm last
Thursday afternoon lightning struck
three trees standing on the David
street side of Mr.. j. l.. Shinn's resi-
dence, SCATTERING one of them to con-
siderable extent and damaging the
others materially. A silver from one
of the trees was driven with great force
into the side of the dwelling where it
now remains. Mrs. j. l.. Shinn, Mrs.
M. Battenfield and Mrs. Porah Cheney,
who were sitting in room facing the
street were stunned by the shock. A
strange feature was the passing of
thunder-b bolt through the open win low
of this room over the left shoulder and
near the head of Mrs. Shinn. The bolt
passed out at the front door which was
opened and exploded in the rear of
Mr.. Shinn's store, observed by Mr..
James H. Shinn, Mr.. Battenfield and
others. Mrs. Shinn, who has been
suffering for months with a partial
troke of paralysis rendering her left
arm very weak, felt that her arm was
strengthened by the shock, but, we
learn, the beneficial effect soon passed
away.

Healing Cream are two indispensable
requirements to lady's complete
toilet. Call on Mrs. s. M. Perry for
samples and give them trial.
The judicial primaries in johnson
and Yell counties are over, and as the
smoke of the contest clears away some
gratifying surprises are shown. In
johnson county the official vote has
not been declared, but 1t is estimated
that Col. Cravens carries the county
for circuit judge by a majority of about
| 800; jeff Davis Is accredited with about
1000 majority for prosecuting attorney,
carrying every township in the county
so far as heard from. In Yell the Of
| fetal count shows that Wallace receiv-
ed AL, Hanna All, Cravsns 311, Wal
lace's plurality being "a. Dayis re-
ceived 652, Reid SIT, Davis majority
1876. 1t is certainly gratifying TO
Pope's candidates, and their many
| friends, that In the first skirmish they
have received such marked recogni-
ton and achieved so signal a victory.
Elections in two counties are yet to
be held, Conway and Pope, and while
the race for attorney is measurably
simplified, the contest for the judgeship
will wax warmer and warmer. The
date for the Pope county primaries
will be fixed next Saturday.
The credit monster should have been
buried when the stage-c0ach was re-
placed by the steam engine, but since
there is some life left in him, Jacobson
proposes to wage war so fierce that
he will soon surrender, finding LOW
PRICES and CASH weapons against
which he cannot successfully contend.
