THE WINSTON HOTEL.
Up. WINSTON, Proprietor.

At the suggestion of number OF tray
cling men, who intimated that LouISDufg
needed another hotel, ] fitted up and fur
nished the Winston Hotel which is be-
ing run exclusively for the accommo-
dation of Transient Boarders. The
rooms are neatly acknowledgements on
the floors hair mattresses and easy
springs. A good table, polite servants,
and best attention is our motto.
For many years this good old town
Has been at all times weighted down,
By reputation it did earn
That its hotel weren't worth durn."
When ~ p came to town to live,
He thought at first some tone to give
To the towns few shackly. eaky inns,
By pointing out these greater sins.
But no one would from old paths stray
The drummer came. and went away,
His stomach void, likewise his purse,
But his soul was full of bitter curse.
At length -. p" in pity deep,
Resolved hotel he would keep.
He'd Drummer been. and knew the needs
OF the traveller, when he sleeps and
feeds.
And so in Main street in the town
The Winston House now looketh down.
Its tables give the markets best,
Its beds and rooms place of rest
Where dreams of home play through the
mind
And aching heads relief will find.
! ask for but one single chance,
If don't please you need not dance

Our people should go to work now to
prevent. if possible, the introduction
of small pox into Crawford county from
the counties south of us. Should it
come here it would prove a serious blow
to our berry industry for. even though
stamped out before the crop ripens, it
would be heralded abroad that we had
had it and hurt the sale of our products.
IAN ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure, while an old saying
loses nothing of its truth by age.
Great quantities of fruits, vegetables
and potatoes in transit during the bliz-
zard were frozen and great damage will
result to shippers. Large quantities of
potatoes for early planting especially
were in transit at that time and these
in most cases will be total loss and
may delay planting somewhat in the
South. 1t is also reported that large
quantities of potatoes stored through
out this section for planting were
frozen. For while they had been pro-
tected for withstanding the cold of an
average winter. they were not suffici-
emily protected for temperature of 1sa

few weeks.
Mr.. McEachin death was quite sud
den and entirely unlocked for by his

his friends and fellow employees that he
was feeling much better than for long
time. Friday morning he went as usual
to the office of Shibley e. Wood where
he held the position of invoice clerk
shortly afterward he was taken with a
severe chill and conveyed home. He
soon lost consciousness, showing all
symptoms of meningitis, and died the
same evening, surrounded by heart
broken relatives. The remains were
accompanied to Fort Smith by numer-

END or SPIRITED CONTEST.

Boston, Oct. 3.--Hon. John L. Bates,
speaker of the house of representatives.
will be nominated for lieutenant COVER
nor by the republican state conven-
ton Gen. Guild, whose candidacy for
the nomination in opposition to Speak
Bates caused a split in the state which
for friendly vigor and warmth had not
been seen by the republicans of the
state for many years, gave a general
surprise this morning by his withdraw
al from the contest.
Ever since the caucus both candidates
had claimed a majority of the state del
egatcs by counting those who had beer
pledged, or whose personal preferences
were known, while at the same time
admitting that the unpledged delegates
were enough in number to elect one OF
the other candidate. on whose side their
strength should be thrown.
On the face of the caucus returns Mr..
Bates was the winner, but the figures
prepared by Gen. Guilds managers
made it appear that the nomination
must surely be made in the convention,
This morning at an early hour Gen.
Guilds managers issued a bulletin
stating that since a canvass among the
delegates has shown the preference of
a large number of the unpledged dele
gates is for Mr.. Bates and these prefer
ences would have elected him.
Thereupon, Gen. Guild was Informed
Of the result and he Immediately sent
a letter of congratulation to Mr.. Bates
on the outcome of a spirited contest
and assuring the speaker of his hearty
support and the support of his friends
Gen. Guilds withdrawal means Mr.
Bates unanimous nomination as com
panion to Hon. w. Murray Crane, who
will be the choice for the head of the
ticket
