108 Main Street,

When any country, state, coun-
ty, city or town is continued under
the control of any political party
for years and years, corruption
and bad government is sure to be
the result. This fact is indispur-
able. 1t cannot be successfully
denied. In this line We copy the
following from the Pine Bluff Gra-
phic:
The tax payers of Pine Bluff get
less for their money than the clti-
zens of any other town in the
United States. We have neither
lights, clean streets, nor any sort

of a thing that will pay license

are well pleased with the couse oi

tend to keep posted. To keep up

WHAT SOME OF HIS
GRATEFUL PATIENTS
SAY OF HIM.

Mrs. David A. Earnest, who re-
sides at 1923 Center Street, Little
Rock, has suffered many years
with catarrhal deafnes and nasal
obstruction. She has tried many
doctors, but none of them could
give her any relief nor seem to un-
derstand the cause of her trouble.
She called on DR.. Abbo on Jam
uary 10th and he immediately dis
covered the cause, removed two
large tumors from her nose and
throat without the slightest pain
and gave her immediate relief.
Mrs, Earnest took the tumors home
with her in a bottle as a token of
DR.. AbbO's skill.

For the year 1900 We will cotinue
to trust in God; but the "highton-

In the future no one will get
credit at this office. We have

held at the same time, as a matter
of economy. We trust peace and
harmony will prevail. As to the
personnel of the delegation at
large it makes but little difference.
-Four years ago Messrs. Clayton,
Cooper, Kennel and Gibbs COM
posed the big four, and were
placed in position to demand at
tention, being the first to be cleo
ted and to declare for Mckinley.
That they did their work well is
well known, and the after-election
results proved them experienced
men and politicians. 1t is to be
hoped the convention this year
will act as wisely. In the natural
order of things the man who has
carried the banner for its party as
candidate as governor is recog-
nised at the first opportunity by
being chosen as one of the dele
gates at large, and no doubt there
will be no departure fror; the rule
this time. No man in the party
stands higher in every way with
all classes than Hon. Henry F.
Auten, who upon the stump as
candidate or as a layman, and in
public and private councils has de-
monstrated the fact that he posses
ses sound judgment and good pc.
litical sense. If new blood is to be
injected there should be no oppo-
sition to Mr.. Auten. This is said
in disparagement of no other re-
publican who may aspire, but in
Justice to one who has borne the
burden without hope of fee or re-
ward, and from what we hear from
various portions of the state, we
believe but we reflect the senti-
ment of the party. Let a strong,
clean delegation of sixteen repre-
sentative men go to Philadelphia
men who will not only stand up
for the party, but for grand old
Arkansas.
The above article clipped from
the State Republican, voices cur
sentiments in full. Hon. H. +,
Auten is a clean cut gentleman
and a sound republican, and we
think as we have always thought.
Auten should constitute one ofthe
big fours from Arkansas.

Concerning this DR.. ]. E Godby,
editor of the Arkansas Methodist,

has. tl.:~ ~ sau in hic last i-~.---
"The action of the Democratic
City Central Committee in plac-
ing the nomination of candidates
for school directors in the hands of
the city primaries, in a measure
which ought to call forth an in.
dignant protest from the friends of
education of all political parties.
We honor the three members of the
committee, J B. Dickinson, for his
strong speech in condemnation of
this affair, and Gregory Sherry
and w. M. Murphy, who voted
with him against the measure. The
Democrats of Little Rock would
dishonor themselves by allowing
their educational work to be COM
mitted to the schemes of party
politics. The political party to
which man may belong will new

any other party should be allowed
to impeat their nefarious schemes

free until cured all who call with.
il ten days, until January goth.
All patients placing themselves
under treatment before January
Goth will receive all medical and
surgical treatment free until cured
No charges except for necessary
medicines.
Abbo's cures have puzzled the
whole medical fraternity and as
tonished the world. He uses GER
tain secret preparations imported
from Europe, Australia, South
Africa and the Orient. His treat
ment is quick, permanent, and he
protects his patients by taking
only those that can be cured.
No living man has made the rec
ord that Abbo has in eight years
time in America. He has receiv-
ed more testimonials and sworn
affidavits than any living ply
sician.
Abbo treats no acute diseases.
but makes an entire speciality Of
chronic diseases. Long standing
cases given up by doctors and pro-
nounced incurable he most desires
to see.
All sufferers from nervousness.
