HON. sAM VI. DATIDSON.


Among the portraits and pen
sketches of the men who are max
ing the laws for our sister State of
Arkansas, the ST. Louis Republic
makes thefollowing complimentary
notice of Hon. Sam. II. Davidson: :
perhaps there is no senator
who is a member of the present
general assembly Of Arkansas that
has more personal popularity than
the senator from Sharp, the Hon.
Sam, H. Davidson, who represents
the second senatorial district. He
is forty-two years Of age, native
of Benton County, Tenn, and went
to Arkansas in 1869.
"Inheriting from his father a
taste for the law, he adopted it as
his profession, and in 1869 was adj
mitted to the bar. He ranks high
in the profession.
In 1888 he declined the urgent
solicitations of the people of his
district to become a candidate for
encouragement, but accepted the
unsolicited nomination of the Dem
ocracy Of his district for the State
senate. He led the fight against a
strong combination with the ablest
man the Union-Labor party had in
the State for an opponent, but he
won by a good majority. He is a
man Of very decided ability and is
also recognized as a man Of the
people. Wherever he is known his
friends are legion, and nearly al
his personal friends call him Sam.
When he speaks on a question be.
fore the senate, his arguments car
ry force and conviction, and he is
rarely the champion Of a measure
that does not go through. He il
considered man whose future il
to be indissolubly linked with the
history and progress Of the State
1t is predicted that there are many
honors for Sam Davidson in thu
future if he does not avoid then
with his characteristic indifference,
to official promotion"

Senator CASTLE to prohibit the

Nashville American says that it is
a direct blow at American patriot

feel safe in saying that is not in

Our advice to all young people is,
go thou and do likewise"
The Tennessee River is falling
slowly. Nothing can be done ow-
ing to the disagreeable weather,
and farmers generally wear long
faces. 1t will be April before the
river farmers can commence work.
1t is estimated that only about
II per cent. Of the peanut crop of
Tennessee has been placed on the
market, which is dull now at 40
cents per bushel. The present
prices is very disheartening to pea
nut growers in this section, who
depend on their peanuts as cash
crop, and when it fails us money
is scarce.
Our peaceful neighborhood was
startled last week when it was an
nounced that A. G. Nunnery had

Buchanan, leaving Mrs. Nunnery

consider throwing back the shoulders
pernicious practice and detrimental
to proper physical, Development; besides
it indirectly intensifies the first physical
error, as the pressure Of the shoulders
on the spine forces the lumbar curve
(the hollow of the baclx) to become more
pronounced, adding another serious de-
feet of position, as by this practice the
abdomen is forced out more prominent
ly to the front, and the muscles sur
rounding it are in consequence weak
ened through their being constantly
stretched and distended.
The better way is to first draw the
head back, keeping the face at right
angles to the floor, until the back Of the
head is little over the spine. Let the
shoulders alone; they will find their
proper position if the arms are allowed
to hang relaxed and correct position of
the body is assumed. Turn the pelvis
backward and upward; this will remove
the curve in the lumbar region. This is
much more simple way than throwing
the shoulders back, and Of more benefit,
as it Immediately raises up the chest
and gives a nobler carriage. -Edwin

When Is It Justifable to Kill a Bursfars
The question is often asked, When is
it justifiable to kill burglar? A forci-
Bile or felonious attempt to violate a
mans rights to his house or goods may
be resisted with any necessary amount
Of violence, even to the extent of killing,
but not where the felony is without yio-
lence. But you cannot anticipate killing
you cannot kill him in cold blood be-
cause you think he will kill you. If after
ordering Il man to leave your house he
remains there, and SO terrifies you that,
for fear Of your life, you shoot him, the
law will not be very particular in decid-
ing whether you were or were not with
in your right in shooting him, for ''omnia
prRsumutur contra spoliatorem.
It is possible to justify the killing of a
burglar who has forcibly broken into, or
is breaking into, our house on the ground
that thereby our life was endangered,
but if he has already retreated and has
escaped from us, we are not, in the quaint
language of an old writer, justified in
shooting him as he heeth down the ave.
