Read the advertisement of Thomas

This is the leading machinery house in
the state; and when our readers need

to him.
If it is necessary for you to
spend a dollar or two with the Rec
ORD office, don't imagine yon are ems
titled to ife-time interest IN the
concern. Too much familiarity
breeds contempt, espcciallya a famll'
iarity costly to the publisher
-. Notice the neat card of Jno. e.
Bone of Batesville, dealer in turnl"
turc, elsewhere on this page. Mr.
Bone runs the only exclusive furnl,
ture house in the town, and can MI
orders for anything in that line at

Some of the little Sunday

Let the good work go on; and may
it grow till the old folks take hold
of the work and resurrect the church
here which has been the same a.
dead for two years. Press on, little
girls. God will smile upon you and

Our farmer friends between
Evening Shade and Batesville are
working with will, notwithstand,
inc the setback by the continued
rains. A great many improvements
are noticeable along the road-new
land opened, new fencing being put
up and an occasional new house
adorns a neat field where industry
and thrift show the occupant olives
at home and boards at the same
place."
1t is encouras slng to notice the
many improvements IN the road be-
tween Evening Shade and Batesvllle.
While we say this as appreciatlng
the thoroughness of the road work
where it is noticeable, there are yet
many bad places in the road that
could be remedied or permanently
made smooth and dry with a few
hours work. Both Independence
and Sharp should be ashamed of
this bad road and make it the best
one in the state.
The announcement Of E. Carpenter,
for county Judge may be found in this
issue of the RECORD. Mr.. Carpenter Is
one of the most highly respected citizens
Of Sullivan township or in Sharp county,
possessing every trait Of character that
q digniS,d official should possess. He
having made the race for judge two years
ago, his acquaintance is not at all limit
ed aud without disparaging the claims
of any other candidate for this office, we
will say that the democracy of the coun-
ty would make no mistake should Mr..
CARPENTER rec eive the distinction he
seeks.
1t was the pleasure of ye editor to
call on the Guard while in Batesville on
last Saturday. Geo. Trevsthap and q
young Mr.. Calvin made us feel at ease
in the absence of Mr.. Givens, The
Guard is welding mighty influence in
the politics of Independence county and
the state in general The polished editor
has shown himself to be a writer OF
depth; cleanly, dignlfed, fair, simple,
yet able and convincing. The citizens
of that town know good newspaper
when they read it, Judging from the
very liberal patronage they bestow on
their Guard Long stand this vigllant
sentry of democracy
