Political Pointers.

Mir. A. D. Lawrence, of Griffin town ship, Is being mentioned as among the possible candidates for representative.
 Mr. J. B. Cawhorn. of Appleton, who has been spoken of as candidate for assessor has declined to continue in the race and has so notified his friends.
 Prominent among the persons men, toned in connection with the upper house of the next general assembly, is Judge K. R. Wilson of this place. We do not know that he will consent to be- come candidate, but if he does we feel sure he will receive a cor dial sup. port. He is in every way well fitted for the position.
 Hon. W. l.. Sibley, of Atkins, was in town last week and in response to the question If he was In the field for sen ator he stated that his candidacy de pended solely upon the wishes of the party which had twice honored him by an election to the lower house of the general assembly. Believing that the office should seek the man he is willing to abide the pleasure of hls party.

The F'Orehand Case.

An opinion handed down in the su- preme court last Saturday aff1rms the finding in the Pope circuit court last November in the case of Chas. w. Forenand for the killing of Dr. Mar berry. It will be remembered that the case was first tried at the April, 1889, term of court, resulting in verdict of murder in the second degree and sem tsnce of five years in the penitentiary. The supreme court reversed the circuit court and remanded the case for re- trial because of certain errors in prac- rice. The case again came up at the last term of court and Forchand was coyicted of manslaughter and sentenced to two years In the pen. His attor- neYs again appealed to the supreme court but without success. The follow ing is synopsis of the courts opinion (Justicc Sandels dissenting):
 Forehand vs. State. The appellent was convicted of manslaughter; and asks reversal: First, because the ev- idence is not sufficient to sustain the verdict. Second because the venue was not properly proved. Held: the law was fairly given by the court. and the evidence was sufficient to sustain the verdict. It is insisted that the proof fails to show that the offense was con- mitted in Pope County. This fact was uot proved in those words. but there was testimony that it occurred Ut point three miles southwest of Dover. The general situation of Dover. which for years was the seat of justice for the county, with reference to the county lines, was matter of notoriety, of which the court had notice without prcef. That the county line could not be reached within three miles, was common knowledge, and If the jury foulld, as 1t might have done on the evidence, that the ho mici1e occurred within three miles of Dover, that fixed it ia Pope County. Affirmed.
 Thus ends one of the most notable cases ever tried in this county because of the many peculiar. mysterious and features connected with 1t.
 Both sides were ably represented by learned and faithful counsel and the legal tilt in both trials were the most memorable in Pope county jurisDru- dence. The State was represented by prosecuting attorney H. 5. Carter as- sited by Hon. A. $. McKennon of Clarksville and Messrs. Davis & Son of Russellville- Forshand was defended by Judge J. G. Wallace of this place and Col. E. B. Henry of Morrilton.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the ndi-
vidual. Such remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed. Hence it
is that so much is heard in praise of
Electric Bitters. So many feel they
owe their restoration to health, to the
use of the great Alternative and tonic.
If YOU are troubled with any disease of
kidney, liver or stomach, of long or

lief by use of Electric Bitters. Sold at
