GRAND JURY REPORT.

For the Northern District OF

term of court, 1901. '
We, the grand jury beg leave
to submit the following report; a.
We have examined into all vio-
lations of law that have come to
our knowledge and have returned
indictments when the evidence
warranted. We find the court
house in dangerous condition
and that the walls have settled on
the south end, and need some
strong rods of iron through the
long way Of the building to brace
it and prevent further setting,
and a new lock on the court room
door. The jail is in a very bad
condition, and needs a new bed
stead and new bedding, and a
new floor, and the grating on the
windows need repairing and a,
general cleaning up. AS 1t IS

The Jonesboro Enterprise
places a very low estimate upon
the, supporters of James K. Jones
for reelection to the senate. In
connection with Clarke, it says of
the friends Of Jones, "they know
if he gets in the senate he will do
something" Yes, Clarke would
do something. Perhaps on some
quiet Sabbath day he might
choose to flourish his pistol and
spit in somebody's face as he did
once during his term as governor.
Or he might try to induce the
State of Arkansas to pay a job
lot of fraudulent bonds. Those
who vote for Clarke can do so
with the assurance that he will do
something" e-",aW na a

You never told him that you

You never scattered a handful OF

that he is dead and lying in his

interest in this years invasion, because

will cover the length and breadth of

happen to prevent one or more of the

KNEW HOW TO s7MPATH1zE.
Good Advice From the Barber to the
Baritone.

On one of the steamships that lately
popular baritone, who owes not the least
part of his popularity to his Willingness
to sing for an who ask him, provided, 81
course, he thinks that the advertiserne [
or the obligation incurred will do him as
much good his ordinary price.
Much to the surprise of those aboard the
ship, when the time came for the usual
concert the singer declined to do his Elk
pected part, a thing unprecedented This
caused so much comment that he felt 1t
necessary to explain, and at the concert
he made a little speech. He said that 1t
was necessary to rest his voice He had
been singing in England and was coming
to sing in this country. Then he was go
ing back to England for a week or two
and then would return to this country for
the opera SEASON He really felt it was
due to himself that he give his voice an
absolute rest while at sea.
His excuse was accepted by all except
the ships barber, who, when he got the
baritone safely in the chair the next day.
told him that he thought it was pretty
mean in him to refuse to help at the con-
cert One song, declared the barber,
would not hurt the singers voice The
barit cne again made a. little speech, in
which he repeated all that he had said the
night before. The barber listened atten-
lively. and after a little pause said.
Il understand. You don't want to get
stale. do you. I know just how it is
never touch a razor when I am shore"
