DOGS AND PONIES.

Prof. Gentry and his company OF
educated dogs and ponies, some one
hundred in number, will exhibit in
this city under canvass on East
Broad street, Monday April llth,
at 2 and 8p. m.
Prot. Gentry's exhibition is too
well known in this city to need
much praising. The simple an
nouncement that his talented dogs
and ponies are soon to exhibit here
is sufficient to enthuse the little
ones, who in turn make the fact
known to the older ones, and as US
ual Pros. Gentry will enjoy the
same liberal patronage. His exhi-
bition thoroughly deserves all the
praise that is bestowed upon it, for
it would be impossible to devise a
more pleasing and instructive exhi-
bition than the one given by Prof.
Gentry and his wonderful dogs and
ponies.

HON. w. V. TOMPKISs.

The gentleman whose name APP
pears at the head of this article is
now a visitor In Miller county, tol
interview the sovereign voters in
the interest OF his candidacy for
Judge Of this, the Eighth Judicial
Circuit,
Mr.. Tompkins is a native OIL
Arkansas, and for the past
fifteen years has practiced
law at Prescott. AS the ed
itor Of this paper has known him
Intimately for twelve years, always.
as a staunch friend, we may be par
doned for speaking at some length
as to his qualifications for the inn
portant Office he seeks 1--WE have
heretofore spoken of Judge Con-
ways candidacy for the same office
at the hands of the people Of this
Circuit.
When we first knew him, IN 1884,
he was the law partner Of Hon. W.
liz. Atkinson, who afterwards be-
came attorney general Of the state.
Being a natural student aud scholar
he has risen 10 the front rank in
Ibis profession, the law, and now
stands the peer Of any attorney in
the Circuit; we can cOnscientiously
say this without detracting from
the merit of any other gentleman
| We believe him to be we'll qualified
for the office of Judge, not because
of his legal learning alone, but be-
cause of we'll. balanced and Judicial
mind; also because of his high mora
standing and conscientiousness, in
all dealings with his fellow man
lIf he becomes our Judge equal and
exact Justice will ever be accorded
to all men.
Now, as to his party fealty, we
can say, too, that no man stands
ahead of Tompkins. Ever since
attaining his majority he has bat
tied for the cause of good govern
ment democracy in all south Ark
ansas; he has gone into the byways
off from the railroads and spoken il
its behalf to hundreds of multitude
and always with satisfactory results
no democrat has done more t,
eradicate the virus of third-partyisn
from this section of the state, thai
d has Mr.. Tompkins. As staunct
friend remarked here the other day
! he did much to stamp out POpulisn
/ in a ringing speech at Bright Star
2 several years ago, As CLEVELAND
, and Stevenson elector in 1892, h
S spoke for his party all over thi
2 congressional district.
S Mr.. Tompkins has never held al
2 elective office, except school directo
S but was made a mining inspecto
p under Cleveland. For the first tim
E he now asks at the hands OF hi
. party an ofice-the Judgeship-
! and we again say that our peopl
p can make no mistake in nominating
] and electing him.

his candidacy for Congress against

thing for Hon. ]. NJ. Carter, who
is running against McRae, IN this
district. Mr.. Carter carried the
first county, Howard, aud there is
good prospects of his winning the
nomination. Rotation in Office is
the only correct Democratic doc

1t is strange how much things 60
by appearances. The neater the
outside of virtue is, the more it is
appreciated. A mans clothes often
pass for the man. The world often
gets stuck on a nice suit of clothes
with man inside of it and gets
badly left because it has to take
the man along with the clothes.
A good heart, because it dwells be-
hind an uncouth counteuance, IS
rarely appreciated, while a heart
that is the incarnation of every
devilish propensity, because it
dwells beneath a pretty exterior,
will pass as pure coin.-[Ex.

There was once an editor who
was most anxious to please. One
of the methods he adopted to as
certain the wishes of his patrons
was to send each of them a return
postal card on which was to be
written an answer to the querry:
"How shall l run my paperY A
prize was offered for the best an
swer received. One intelligent but
plain spoken patron, fired back the
postal with the endorsement. Run
it as you d d please" The editor
examined the replies critically,
thought over the matter awhile,
and finally awarded the prize to his
plain spoken friend.

Stories of big finds" of gold
reach us, not only from the KIon-

country not hitherto suspected of
being veined by the precious metal.
A tremendous impetus to mining in
dustry and the development by syn
dicates of capitalists OF natural
wealth in numerous directions has
resulted. The exposure and hard
ships of frontier miners have ever
been productive Of rheumatism, one
of the most obstinate and agonizing
of complaints As a means of amel-
iorating and preventing this mala-
DIV, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, aud that is caused by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of
the mucous lining of the eustachian
tube. When this tube is inaamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirelY closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
