TO OUR CUSTOMERS.

We. the undersigned laundry men Of
Little Rock. have agreed TO carry ON a
STRICTLY CASH BUSINESS on and after
November /. Our reasons for so doing
are US follows
our accounts being necessarily small
and endless amount Of confusion and
expense entailcd toan injurious degree
and the loss in collections, and the time
and attention II requires to collect,
which time we could give to our work
rooms and insure higher standard of
work.
second,
our current expenses such as labor,
fuel. gas. water supplies and rent, are
cash and must be paid when due, The
stand we have taken is one we have
been forced into, and we regret very
much to make our many good custom
crs suffer for the actions OF poor ones,
but we sec no other way out Of the dif
ficul,y.
As a special induccmcnt we have re-
duced our prices on all shirts to 10 cents
each. and underwear to ; cents on cot

1t is no common loss which this
community suffers IN the death of
James H. Webb. To the many
who were privileged to know him
intimately, it is heavy personal
bereavement, and to that larger
circle who were acquainted with
honorable public life, it is a severe
blow. For more than a generation
he was active and influential in the
political affairs of the county, and
he never betrayed cause Or
friend. The county was never
served with higher ability and
fidelity than when he was a men,

Der of the Legislature Of the State
"a body that honored him with
the speakership of the House. AS
a political leader he fought hard,
but he fought always honorably,
his battles being won by methods
which commanded the respect of
his opponents. He told the truth;
he spoke frankly, and no one gave
wiser or more unselhsh counsel
than he. The politics of this
county is the better for his work in
it; and-would 1t were not So
this is much to say of leader in
political affairs. He was a strong.
true man, a faithful public servant,
and an always reliable leader
whose advice and assistance will
be greatly missed. Called away
after his years Of usefulness, he
leaves to his family the precious
heritage of a good name, and to
our public men the inspiring
example of an honest official life.
Happy. indeed, will this nation be
when its public servants and
political leaders are men of such
character as James H. Webb"

There is a strong sontiment in
the state among republicans
favoring, Mr.. f. D. Coe, for
chairman Of the Republican State
Central Committee. We have
enjoyed a personal acquaintance
with Mr.. Coe for many years and
would be very much pleased to
see him made chairman of said
committee if he 50 desires. How
ever, we are somewhat alarmed
that the too ardent support of
Governor Upham's friends may
have a tendency to weaken his
support at the next convention
for fear that he may be regarded
the candidate of Gov. Upham.
We are in favor of Coe for chair
man, but not in favor Of Gov.
Upham's denomination, and still
our confidence in Coe is SO great
that we would trust him as true
friend of the Party and not belong
ing to any faction or click. Give
US Coe for chairman.

UPHArl AND RENOn!NATION.

MIR. Hold Taylor, editor of the
Madison Journal, in a recent issue
Of his newspaper published the
following explanatory article Of
his position towards Governor
Upham:
The State Journal has no SYM
pathy with those who believe that
party loyalty and success are best
demonstrated and attained by
covering up, apologizing for or
defending mistakes. open con-
fession is good for the soul" II
mistakes are made denounce and
correct them. Do not attempt to
hide or explain. The people are
not easily fooled. They want to
know the truth and are very apt to
find it out The official, the news
paper or the politician who thinks
he can deceive and mislead them
will sooner or later come to grief.
The State Journal has never yet
declared its opposition to the re-
nomination of Gov. Upham. 1t
has pointed out what it believed to
be some Of his mistakes. 1t has
copied numerous articles censur-
ing and opposing him. 1t has
made him the target of numerous
playful para graphs. But it has
never declared, although the prov
ocation for doing so has been very
great, that he ought not to be re-
nominated. 1t has counseled
patience. 1t has advised Republi-
cans to wait 1t has declared that
he should be judged by his record.
It has insisted that the strongest
man to be found should be placed
at the head of the ticket. 1t has
contended that precedent should
not outweigh fitness. 1t has repu-
dated the absurd idea that one
poor term deserves another.
That is what The State Journal
has done, and it has doneit frankly,
honestly and without guilt or guile.
There has been no i'll feeling, no
hard words. 1t has been sought
only to promote the party and
public good. We think more of
the Republican party than we do
Of any individual. We shall al
ways defend party as against per
sonal interests. The thing, and
the only proper thing to do, is to
look over the field, canvas the Sit
uatIon, listen to the complaints,
examine the record, ascertain the
sentiment, and then take such
action as the facts demand. If
there are more arguments in favor
OF than in opposition to the renom-
ination Of Gov. Upham-if his can
didaCy under all the circumstances
seems most desirable, then he
should be supported. If on the
contrary the opposition to him is
SO general and determined as to
weaken him as a candidate, and
load down the party then he should
be asked to step aside.

Simplicity at the close seems
to have been the hope and wish
of this man when the wearing
touch of time should call him
home. In striking contrast to a
life so full, so active as the one
gone out. He rests in a silent
little city of the dead. Peace

The scheme for new county
by the Marshfeld people, out of
territory taken from Wood Clark
and Marathon counties, is general
ty understood here and will be
fought to the bitter end. The
people of Wood county are alive

burdens they would have to bear
in the form of taxes. The Marsh

Mr.. c. w. Bowron, one of the
editors of the Oshkosh North
western, was elected president of
the Wisconsin Press Association
the past week in Milwaukee in
place of John Nagle who served
the association efficiently the past
year. We were pleased to know
that the boys had recognized
Bowron for he is regarded with
much favor among the boys of the
Press. From the daily papers in
Milwaukee we notice that most
instructive and profitable session
was held.

not had a tendency to strengthen
the Governors chances for renomi-

mined now than any time before.

The Hon. Philetus Sawyer, of
Oshkosh, has many friends among
the Republicans of Wood County
who will do all they can to further
his election as a delegate at large
from this state to the Republican
National convention in St. Louis,
also to return him to the q. S.
Senate. However if it becomes
known that he is doing all he can
to further the denomination Of
Gov. Upham, he may lose their
support for either place. Mr..
Sawyer is highly respected by his
friends here and Republicans gen
orally, and it is hoped he will not
allow himself to be too conspicuous
in his apparent support of Upham.
