committee that a convention of aDem-
ocratic party Of the state of Arkansas
be called to assemble in the city OF
Little Rock, on Thursday, the 22d
day of June, 1898, at u o'clock M,
tor the purpose of nominating a can
didate for the office of supreme judge
of the state, to be voted for at spec
ial election, to be held at such time as
shall be designated by the Governor.
It was further resolved by the COM
mittee that the basis for representa-
ton shall be one delegate for every
200 votes, and for every fraction OF
200 of 100 or over, cast for VIM M.
Fishback, Democratic candidate for

1t was further resolved that the

say we go for effect.
If we stay away from church they
say we are monstrously heathenish.
If we accept an invitation to a
wedding they say we were only invit-
ed to ''write it up"
If we 60 to the opera house they
say we go on free tickets.
If we are seen upon the streets too
often they say we neglect our busi-
ness.
If we avoid going on the streets
they say we don't hustle around after
the news.
If we reject long-winded commu-
nication its author becomes furiously
enraged and discontinues his paper.
If we publish lengthy communica-
tions our readers say we lack discre-
tion and put in anything to "fll up"
If we neglect to decorate our office
windows on Washington's birthday,
they say we lack enterprise, and that
there isn't Il drop of patriotic blood
flowing in our degraded carcasses.
If we swell out in a new suit of
clothes and celebrate ground hog day,
they say we got our clothes in pay
ment for advertising, and that we are
by far too foppish.
If, in our frailty, we sometimes
perpetrate a joke, or make stagger
at poor little pun, they say we are
exceedingly light and won't do.
If we omit jokes they say we are
poor miserable fossils.
If we are single they say we are
too helpless to get married
If we are not single they say it is a
pity for our wives.
If we publish q man who has
brought disgrace upon his family, the
friends of the family never forgive
us. If we, out of goodness of heart,
decline to say anything on the sub,
iect, the mans enemies are disap-
pointed, and we are branded as white
livered towards.
We are able to stand these raps
and many more, and we are always
ready to receive visitors, whether ac-
companied by dog or not. OF
course we do not claim there is any
work to running newspaper; every
one knows it is snap.-Weekly
