Several newspapers continue
to report that Senator Jones only
served one month in the Confed-

many proofs that he served dur

perhaps the best proof being the
testimony Of those who saw SER

EIC,,L A DOG

Kick a dog and he bites you.
He bites you and you kick him.
The more you kick the more
he bites and the more he bites
the more you kick. Each
makes the other worse.
A thin body makes thin
blood. Thin blood makes a
thin body. Each makes the
other worse. If there is going
to be a change the help must
come from outside.
SCOTS Emulsion is the right
help. 1t breaks up such a
combination. First it sets the
stomach right. Then it en-
riches the blood. That
strengthens the body and it
begins to grow new flesh.
A strong body makes rich
blood and rich blood makes a
strong body. Each makes the
other better, This is the way
SCOTS Emulsion puts the thin
body on its feet. Now it can
get along by itself. No need

JUST AS WE THOUGHT.

The RECORD has evidence
which seems to fatty contradict
the testimony of the wise guy of
the Paragould Soliphone. 1t is
remembered that this erudite and
altogether worthy individual last
week Haunted in this papers face
q list of counties, an even dozen
in all, in which James P. Clarke
was practically solid," and even
wanted to wager us his 'out-of'
date cylinder press and gasoiar
engine outfit" that we could not
name a dozen counties in which
Senator Jones would receive so
large a percentage of the vote as
would Gov. Clarke in the coun-
ties which he had been so obhg-
ing as to designate. 1t is also
remembered that we intimated at
the time that editor Taylor had
been known, and frequently too,
to stretch the truth unmercifully,
and that we had not the greatest
confidence in any statement he
might make touching the political
situation. But to the point.
Union county was among the
number practically solid for Gov.
Clarke, according to the pilot OF
the Soliphone. A citizen OF El
Dorado, who says he has trav-
eled all over Union county re-
Gently, makes this statement to
the papers. No doubt the W. g.
has already seen it, but for fear
he hasn't we will just give him
the concluding paragraph:
II a man would drop
down in Ell Dorado ard listen
and then leave the county he
would swear that Clarke hal
the whole county, but the
longer you stay in the county
the more you will be convin-
! Gel that such is not the case.
| doubt much if Clarke will
carry a single township in
the county, and in fact | am
told there is one township in
the county that has only two
| Clarke men in it and it polls
nearly $50 votes. Ihear more
Clarke talk in Ell Dorado
than in the rest of the county
put together, and l have trav-
eled all over it. In conclu-
sion, l would sum up the sit
uation Of Union county, and
| see it from an unbiased
standpoint, this way: Jones
will carry every township in
the county, and have at least
a majority of two to one, and
from what | can learn the
sentiment grows stronger for
him all the time. Davis is
about to lose out altogether,
in fact some of his ardent
supporters heretofore are
talking against him.
This looks bad for our old
friend, the Soljphone, out it
serves to prove that one generally
gets tangled when he goes to
carrying counties and talking
Of things he knows nothing about
