The Berry Plckers Are the People

The Berry Pickers Are the People.
The Fort Smith Times Democrat
Wednesday promised to have the
Maroons run potato digger over our
boys, but this implement of torture of
the soil struck against pile of berry
crates in the ninth inning and now sack
cloth and ashes adorn the front door of
the Maroons headquarters.
After Tuesdays game it was hard to
get our cranks to venture forth into
foreign territory and thereby they
missed the best game that has been
played in this meek O. the woods
this season-professional not excepted.
The game started out with goose eggs
for both mines in the first two innings
when Fort Smith began scoring two
runs each time for the succeeding three
innings, while Van Buren, scored only
one run and things had anything but a
strawberry hue. In the seventh inning
change came over the scene and our
boys began scoring, ending in the ninth
by their making four runs and winning
the game.
The crowd was good and jolly and
Fort Smith rooters were there in plenty
but m Walter Mullen Van Buren, has a
rooter who is equal to whole grand
stand full of the Fort Smith product
and he easily held his own.
1t was pretty game and everything
passed off pleasantly.
This is the score by innings:

GIVE the farmers of Arkansas good
crops and fair prices and they will start
the wave of prosperity at home. 1t is
true we have kickers under all condi :
tions, but there never has been time
in Arkansas when good crops and fair
prices have failed to bring prosperity.
The Republicans may talk of the tariff
and the results of protection, but un-
less we have good crops and fair prices
there can be no prosperity. With these
we can submit to protective policy
with a better grace.

in his reply congratulated the happy

lot of tick infected cattle were dipped
at the Union Stock Yards. This is
merely the beginning of the expert

We are of the opinion that any slate
with other than the name of Dan w.
Jones on it for governor. provided he
wants it the second term, will be
broken. He is making credit for the
state and himself. Jones will compare
favorably with the the executive in the
sisterhood of states. -Lonoke Democrat.
The Democrat expresses the senti-
ments of The PRESS exactly. If Gov
Jones wants the nomination next year
ne has only to say the word. He is en-
titled to it by all the usages of the
Democratic party and it will be proven
at the end of the two years that he has
made as good governor as the state
has had for many years.
