FLANDERS OUT OF 1T.
He Withdraws From the Race for
 County Clerk.

Frank B Flanders, the present County ClerK, is out of the Jefferson county clerks race.
 It has been rumored about town for several days past that Mr. Flanders would withdraw and Satur- day the rumor became a common subject of conversation.
 A Graphic reporter looked up Mr. Flanders Saturday afternoon and found him sitting leisurely smoking a cigar in his office at the Court House.
 "Mr. Flanders" said the Graphic mn, is there any truth in the rumor that you have withdrawn from the County Clerks race2"
 "Yes, I decided this afternoon that l would not be an aspirant for the honors. The reason 1 withdrew is due to my i'll health. I do not feel that my health will permit me to properly make the canvass during the campaign, hence I retire from the contest"
 This leaves the race between the three remaining asp,rants, Messrs E. "Buck" Bloom, Charles R. Fitz- hugh and W. L. Strickland.
 MT. Flanders has not given it out or decided on hls future plans as yet.

The DOrmitory of the speers-Lang-
 ford Military School Burned.

The Galloway Female College and the Speers Langford Military Insti- tute, of Searcy, two of the leading educational institutions of Arkan. sas, are just now playing in hard luck.

 Mr. William H. Langford, presi. dent of 4be Citizens Bank, and a resident of Pine Bluff, holds the largest interest in the latter insti- tuition.

A FREAK OF NATURE.
Brought to Pine Bluff Saturday by
 ], W. Williams.

MT. J. ". Williams. a progres- siye young dairyman, who lives about three miles South of this city, brought freak of nature to Pine Bluff Saturday, that Is indeed a curiosity and the like of which is seldom seen.
 It was a double calf head and was most perfect piece of an animal. The heads were joined together and formed one head. The head con ntain- ed four eyes in their proper places and two mouths, but only two ears of the freak could be seen. The heads were joined together just at the point where the left ear of one and the right ear of the other head met, aud that IS sRro obably the oause or the absence of those two respec. l tive ears. It was indeed one of the most perfect freaks of nature that the writer pas ever seen.
 The way that Mir Williams came into possession of the curio, was as follows: He has dog on his place that usually goes to near by slaugh hter.pen and steals discarded meat. Saturday morning his dog walked into bis fsld with what af- terwards proved to ba the above rare curiosity. Who once owned the two headed animal or who killed It, is not known.
