CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF

H. Shell Simmons announces his candidacy for the office of sheriff through the Independent, and as he has a host of friends over the county, will undoubted- ly make a strong race. He is a very genial and clever gentle man and in every way qualified for the office.
 He comes.of lineage who know not how to fear and has pre- served this ancestral trait, so necessary in the office to which The aspires. But with fearless ness he has combined discretion and tact and would make a sher- if of whom his party might be proud.

DOCTORS IN DEMAND.
Called AS Witnesses In Trial of Mrs. Ruth Lane at
 Little Rock.

Little Rock, Dec. 15. A large percentage of the physicians of the city spent much of yesterday lounging in the corridors of the Pulaski county court house, and to an uninitiated person it seemed that a meeting of the local medi- cal society was being held. The cause of their presence there in stead of at their offices was the hearing of two cases which were on trial in the two divisions of Pulaski circuit court.
 In the first division the crimi- nal case of Mrs. Ruth Lane, charged with assault to kill on Dr. R. L. White by shooting at him, occupied all of yesterday and three or four physicians were among the witnesses.
 The experience may have proved costly to the physicians, for they were compelled to re main in the court house or within easy call until needed. They each received $1.50 for their at tendance. as a witness, while they may have lost cases out of which they would have received mucF more.

Railroad company offers to fur nish site and farming land for such school in any town on their line, besides contributing toward the construction of the proper buildings.
 Mir. Hatton has money he would expect to contribute toward these necessary buildings, and in view of the advantages to our city through such an acquisition, he feels that he has the right to ex- pect our people to donate.
 The successful industrial schools of the North draw large numbers of young men and women, who are thus enabled to secure an education with little money. The town in which one is located not only enjoys better educational advantages, but is helped in a business way by this influx of students.
 The project is good material for the Business Mems league and the town should make an effort to secure the school.

FLETCHER RISES
 TO DISCLAIM.
Unmitigated and BarefacedFalse. hood So Says Fletcher of Statement That van-
 deventer Drew
 On Him.

The secret is out as to where Yandy gets his expense money to carry on the campaign. A telegram from Walnut Ridge to Governor Davis, on November 27, states that Van drew on Col. John c. Fletcher, president of the German National Bank, for S25. It has been knownall along that some one was paying Van for the dirty work he was doing, but the Siftings never dreamed that Col. Fletcher would stoop so low as to associate with Van, Jacksonville Siftings, Dec. Il.
 Col. John G. Fletcher was seen at the Board of Trade Monday morning by a representative of the Democrat, and when show n the foregoing made the follow ing statement:
 Say for me that you called my attention to the article in the Jacksonville paper in regard to Vandeventer drawing on me for $25. Say for me that l am as- tonished to see the item in any reputable newspaper, let alone one published in my own home county. l say now positively to you, without mental reservation or equivocation, that the state ment made in the paper in ques- tion is an UNATTACHED AND BAREFATED FALSEHOOD, as Van deventer did not draw a check against me on that occasion; neither has he ever drawn a check against me at any time, nor has anyone else in his behalf in this campaign. Neither have l can tributed one cent to him or to any of the other candidates in this race. l have not been in vited to contribute to the expense of any of the candidates, and had I been invited would have de clined to contribute in a primary election where the contest is be- tween Democrats. I hope the Siftings will be honorable enough to give this statement publica- ton to refute the islander perpe- trated upon me. "
