THE TOWN REPORT.
Selectmen Recommend Tax of Thirty
Cents-Decrease of $58t8 in Liabili-
ties Compared with LAST Year.

ties Compared with Last Year.
The selectmen state there is a bal
ance of $6422.93 in the hands of the
town treasurer after paying all the
current expenses of the town, and that
there can be but few unpaid bills
against the town. The post Office has
been leased for a term of five years at
an increased rental of $50 a year. but
the post office department required al
terations and improvements and the
construction of a new room for the
carriers. The expense of this work
was $723,27, and leaving out this sum
the town house more than paid run
ming expenses by $40746.
The selectmen have replaced the
bridge on West River road with a
heavy stone structure which will need
no repairs for a number of years. The
abutments of one of the Eddy bridges
has been rebuilt and ripraps put in
front for protection. New abutments
have been built for the Thurber bridge
and new iron bridge bought which
was not put in place on account of
the lateness of the season when it
was received. All the iron bridges
except the one on Main street have
been reprinted and all are in good
condition.
The new sewer was constructed on
Canal street, 5000 feet of tile being
laid from the Elm street bridge, up
Canal street to the top of Fuller hill
out Pine street. Maple street. also
Organ street and Prospect street hill
Twenty crates were put in for the en-
trance of water. The expense was
"a lAtt 81 l.,
S62540. brings the actual cost down to
$3S2214. The selectmen say there is
an unexpected balance of ten per cent
tax to construct the Main street sewer
with, and they think it can be done
without further appropriation.
In closing their report the selectmen
say: Your tax collector has collected
the tax of 1901 very closely. leaving
only SS0S.41 to be collected, of which
it is estimated that S50S is good and
can be collected.
The finances of the town are in good
condition. Our bonded debt has been
| decreased $4,000 this year, and there is
but a very small amount of floating
| Indebtedness, estimated at 500. A
tax of thirtyfive cents on a dollar of
| the grand list will raise $17,622.21.
| somewhat more than the estimated
amount needed. A tax of thirty cents
on a dollar will raise $15,104.75, some
| what less than the estimated amount
needed. Your selectmen would recon.
mend that tax of thirty-five cents on
dollar of the grand list be raised
The grand list is $50,349.1S. The
| school directors recommend raising
a tax of thirty cents on dollar of the
grand list of the town school district
for the coming year.
The following are the estimated ex-
penses and resources for the coming
| year:

ABOUT PARDONS.

Gov. Davis has given out an
order that no application for q
pardon will be considered by him
unless said application has first
been on exhibition at tho office OF
the county clerk for period Of
Is days. This order was occa'
stoned by the discovery that a
Hampstead county convict had
procured 2 pardon through means
of forgery, his petition bearing
the names Of county officials an d
others who had never affixed
their names thereto. The gov
ernor's plan will no doubt help
matters some, A better plan
dealing with applications for par
dons would be a law compelling
all applications and signatures 10
be published in county paper
SO all thepoople could understand
the matter fully and view the sig
aGturos. Ihoto aeo ono-roly ,oo
many pardons granted in this
day and time. Whether the fault
lies in the courts, the governor
or the people is a matter about
which there is a diversity OF
opinion.

in every sense Of the word. Mr..
.Meeks resided for some time
some years ago in Sullivan town
ship, and has many friends there
as well as in other parts OF Sharp
county. For several years past
he has been associated in the
practice with Hon. Sam J..
Davidson, Of Evening Shade,
There is no doubt but that he Is
well fitted for the position he is
asking at the hands Of the peo-
pie. and it would be honoring a
generous, big-hearted gentleman
to elevate him to the place. Mr.
Meeks' candidacy will arouse a
strong following in this county,
and surely the people Of the 18th
circuit would make no mistake in
calling him to preside over their
courts.

B5AzS,
It is a sad thing to see fine
fruit trees spoiled by the blight.
You can always tell them from
the rest. They never do well
afterwards but stay small and
sickly.
1t is worse to see a blight

is the natural right Of children.
But some Of them don't get
their rights. While the rest
grow big and strong one stays
small and weak.
Scots Emulsion can stop

JUDGE JOHN B. MCCALEB,

DOIIll d. NlCCCtCC Go -
. for congress appears in today's
paper.
judge McCaleb is a native Of
| Sharp county, having been born
in Evening Shade in 1856. He
received his education at Eve
ming Shade, and at the age of
fifteen years began the battles ot
! lie for himself. In 1878 he be-
gan the study Of law with Hon.
Sam H. Davidson, and in 1881
was admitted to the bar in Judge
DR. H. PowelI's court. For some
time he was associated with Mr..
Davidson in the practice Of his
profession, and his success as a
barrister was very flattering.
When the Sixteenth judicial cir
| cult was created by the general
assembly Of 1891, John B. Nc
! Caleb announced his candidacy
for circuit judge and was elected,
succeeding Judge James ".
! Butler, to fill an uneXpired term
of two years. His administration
of the law and judicial rulings
during these two years we're SO
highly satisfactory to the nom
bers of the bar ard the people OF
the circuit that he was reelected
to the bench in 1898 and again in
1887, practically without oppo-
sit.on. We have heard it stated
| by many Of the best citizens OF
the l0Jh ciro uit that Judge Me-
Caleb could preside over the
courts Of the circuit for an indef-
ioite period if h 50 desired
The RECORD is proud to pre-
sent Judge McCaleb'5 candidacy
for congress- to the people Of the
Second congressional district,
and ali tao> people ol Sharp
county would gladly unite in
paying a tribute to his worth and
ability. As a jurist Judge Nc
Caleb stands second to none in
Ackansas. His decisions rem
dered inside the courtroom have
stood every test, and his record
along this line is perhaps un-
pceoedented in the history Of the
state. Wherever Judge McCaIeb
has held court nothing but praise
has boea offered him. Always
courteous, yet firm, plain but
with dignity, the business Of the
courts has been turned off with
promptnoss and dispatch during
his term as presiding officer.
Judge McCalob would be a
strong representative of the peo-
pie in the halls Of congress. He
is pre-emjnenyly fitted for the
place. He possesses 8 high o.
der Of ability, a deep reasoner
and thinker, and has the wiling
tingness and desire to put forth
his best efforts in the interests Of
the people. lie is a firm believer
in the principles Of Democracy
and the final triumph Of those
principles, The people OF this
district could not send better
man to congress chan Judge Me-
Caleb. Placed in him the peo-
pies trust and confidence will
not be betrayed nor misplaced.
lie would represent the district
croditably and reflect honor upon
the whole people, and when his
term expired the Office would be
placed back into the hands Of
the people without a stigma or
shadow res@ng upon it, Bestow
congressional honors upon Judge
John B. McCaleb and tho Second
congressional district of Arban-
sas will have just cause to re-
joico.

through Salem last night and stole
some clothing and team of horses and
are now supposed to be working their

South Salem, ard made him disrobe
and took all his clothing. Stewart in
formed the officers of his experience
with the convicts. In passing on
through the city, they stole another
coat and pair of overalls from an ex-
pressman named Wech. Later they
entered the stable of Felix Labaucher
on the edge of the town and took a pair
of horses and started north. A heavily

now in pursuit. Tracy is known. to be

Eight men were arrested last night and

Mitchell expected to arrive here from

much significance is placed on his visit
