JUDGE GRADERS LETTER.

ALL TO WIN and nothing to lose, except few hours to go to your precinct on the 18th and vote for the removal of the coun- to seat, for many reasons.
 1st. The court house at Dallas will soon have to be overhauled and repaired; the lower Joist and the floor will have to be replaced with new material. Prisoners are not secure. The jail is in an isolated place without any pro- tection. Outsiders can liberate their friends at will. The cells and corridor are good and can be removed at small cost, also the vaults in the court house are good and can be used i'll a new build ing.
 2nd. Do not forget that you have a nice plat of ground for jail lot and house and court house all to sell which will bring con- siderable money, which, if the associate court sees fit, could use for equipping new court house.
 3rd. There is no accommoda- tions for those that have to at tend court. With the county seat at Mena there will be plenty of accommodations and police and other people to look after the county property when the sheriff and his deputies are away. Be- sides you can attend to your oth- CT private business while you are attending court; besides, those living along the railroad can leave their horses at home at rest or at work on the farm.
 Now fellow citizens the Town site Company has rendered you a large plat of ground-the most valuable in the town of Mena- with broad streets on all sides and creek on the north side of the land, furnishing a beautiful as well as comfortable place to
  camp and feed. Five thousand dollars in cash and a deed to the land will be forthcoming as soon after the 18th as the returns can can be made out if you see fit to spend a few hours to go to the polls and vote for the county seat removal. If you neglect to vote your vote will be counted against the proposition, as it requires a majority of the legal voters of the county to carry, and not a majority of those voting, and it is my opinion that if the proposi- ton rendered by the Townsite Company is not accepted now it will not be repeated, and at some not far distant day everyone will see the impropriety of holding court in the woods and then the tax payers will have to foot the bill to build a new court house without the desirable plat of ground we now have offered us.
 The old citizens all know the interest I have always taken in Polk county, especially in build ing the court house at Dallas. My old home and best interests are there, but, laying aside my personal interest and looking to tile welfare of the public, pardon me for asking you to spare a few hours from your business and come and vote on the 18th.
 Respectfully,

of the gnawing sensation, and in very
little while there are decided symptoms
of being hungry. A repetition Of the
dose inside of an hour in case the at

as you feel able to eat, make your
breakfast of oatmeal principally for
two or three days. On the day after
