Bridges and Roads.

ED. RECORD: I am exceedingly
glad that the people of Sharp coun'
ty are becoming alive to the lmpor,
tance of having the frequently I'M
passable streams of the county
brdged. Let us all continually and
earnestly urge the levying court to
make the necessary levies, and apN
preparation to the extent of its pow
er under the laws and constitution
of the state, to the end that we have
bridges and better roads in general.
| desire to tender to you my thanks
(aS Judge Of the county court) for
the manifest interest, which you
have taken in the matter. So | say
let us all continue to agltate the
question of building bridges, and
working the roads more thoroughly
till we get the desired Improvements.
But at the same time let us treat this
question fairly, and | will say by
examination of sec. l44S Of the stat
utes Of Arkansas, 4th clause, in ref,
erence as to who can make approprl-
ations for bridges and roads. Also
sec. 1851, which restraints the county
court or its agents from making any
contract until there had been al
appropriation made for that specific
purpose by the levying court
And further by the examination
of other sections governing levy
ing courts, we can see that the levy
ing and appropriating court cannot
make an appropriation for any one
year to exceed 81 so on each one
thousand dollars worth of property
as rendered by the Assessor, and we
must remember that our leying court
has uniformly levied and appropriate
ed to the full extent of the law,
which only runs the county and pays
small portion of our Indebtedness,
Resp't'y, A. J. Porter,
Apr. 0 80. County Judge.

Ed RECORD: VIII you please allow
space in your paper to ask a few ques-
tions?
lst. If man claims to be democrat
and votes the u l. ticket for republicans.
Is be democrat?
2. What does a man do to make him
a democrat? Doesn't ne have to vote for
democracy instead of republicanism?
3 Are not some of our wheeler
brothers honestly mistaken when they
vote against democracy and for republi-
cans and say that they are good demo
orats'
Now if some of our citizens will an
swer the above queries think it would

EPOCH,

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch in the life Of the individual. Such
q remarkable event is treasured in the
memory and the agency whereby the
good health has boon attained is grateful
ly tl4ssed, Hence it is that so much has
been said in praise of Electric Bitters.
So many feel they owe their restoration
TO health, to the use of the great altera-
tive and tonic. If you are troubled with
any disease of the kidneys liver or stom-
ach, of long or short standing you will
surely find relief by use of Electric Bit,

Poor Pay.

We suppose the Little Rock can
didates for State offices will expect
the country press to mention them
conspicuously and unreservediy
without so much as a subscription
for each paper, The country press
generally elects them free of charge
after they are nominated = Clarks-
vile Herald Journal.
Of course. as it has been the rule
heretofore for the country press tc
but voice the sentiment of the Little
Rock papers IL regard to men anC
measures and the candidates know
ING such to be the case, considered
it necessary to only fee our Capital
contemporaries in order to be favor
ably noticed by "Iray, Blanche and
Sweetheart" all over the country
The pay the country papers get l,
the glory of seeing their endorse
ments favorably noticed and com
mented on by the great capita
papers. For its pay, the Courier
wishes something little more tangi'
bic than such glory, Lee County
Courier.
The Courier but voices the sentl,
ments of the RECORD IN the above
1t is very unfair to require county
candidates to pay for theirannounce-
ments in order to get their names
properly before the people, and then
let candidates for state Offices have
picnic without paying cent.
That racket has played out at this
shop.

KISS EN- THIS WAY, BOYS.

Said a young friend to me the
the other day: II am getting tired
OF having my hair upset, and my
corsage boquet torn all to pieces by
beginners, and believe if the dear
boys were only told how to go about
it they would not make such mess
of It,"
To begin with, the girl is not try
ing to get away. Keep cool; bear
in mind that you have the soulful
sympathy of your victim, and your
aims are lientical--that she has as
much at stake as you have. Keep
perfectly cool and collected; gently
insert your right coat sleeve about
her directoire costume, and turn her
gently towards your manly form
Place your other, and as yet unoccu.
pied, arm IN such a position as the
exlgencles of the occasion may de-
mand, and give gentle and soulful
pull, as Amelia Rives>Chardler calls
it. BY this time the ''roSebud
mouth" as you see fit to call it, Is
turned towards you. Lean over
gently and let nature do her work.
That's all, Girls don't like any other
way, boys.

The Arkansas Press Association twill

18th. The democrats state central com
mi,tee, having called the state convention
to meet on Tuesday, June l7th, has rec
commended Tuesday, the lOth, as a day
upon which to hold the county coGven-
tions. The suggestion, if carried out
will C, nhict and seriously interfere with
the Press Association, as most of the
newspaper men will wart to attend their
county conventions. 1t is to be hoped
that our democratic brethren of the press
will endeavor to have their conventions
called for an earlier day than June lO:h

party in every county in the state to see
that the primaries and conventions Tor

to attend them, and then 90 to the Press
