DREW COUNTY OCHRE BEDS ATTRACTING AT
 IENTION.

SecretarHof State l w Crock ett was in his office yesterday af ter an absence of several days at his home at DeWitt, where his wife has been seriously i'll. Mrs. Crockett was so far improved Saturday that Mr Crockett was enabled to leave DeWitt and es- cort a party of Chicago capital ists to Monticello to inspect the ochre beds made famous through the writings ot the late Col. NJ L. De Mahler Mir Crockett re ports the men of wealth from Chicago well pleased with what they saw aud think that invest nents and development work Will follow.
 The only question now to be determined. ' said Mir. Crockett yesterday, lis as to whether the ochre IS there in sufficient quan titY. There iSno question what ever about the quality of 1t, for Drew county oehre IS pronounc- ed the equal of that found in France. It has steady com mercial value. being used in the manufacture of paints. In my opinion there is world of 1t around Monticello and I think there is no question bat that 1t will pay to work ,
 Mir. Crockett spoke enthusias- tieally of Monticello.
 "1tis one of the best little cities in Arkansas, and one of the most progressive and enterprising. he said "The water supply, ob- tained from artesian wells, can not be exeelled anywhere. The streets are models of uniform smoothnesS, due to gravel which IS found in unlimited quantities in that vicinity The Montieel- To thoroughfares are never mud dy.

ves tigation and calm delibera- tion. We have no fault to find and no ccasure to give, however deeply we may sympathize with his judgment aud doubt his dis cretion; bat the fellow who is advocating Davis for no other reason than the hope to obtain favors from him, has our most supreme contempt That there arejust such men there Is not the slightest reason for doubt They are playing the game for what they think 1t will be worth to them and for that alone, and dc not care q fig for their country and their countrv's good Such men we have and it IS a pity we have them but every age and every country has had them. They are governed by selfish mo- tives and are strangers to the spirit of patriotism. The patri- ot loves his country and labors for the good of all. the selfish man shuts out the world and lives for self and self alone. He cares not how many may fall or how hard their tasks may be, SO he fattens and thrives He IS usually deeeitful and cunning, and seldom lets an opportunity pass to further his ends. Were it not for this class the world would be better, but since we have such people, and have them everywhere, 1t Is we'll that the well-meaning man, and the one who would care to do what was best for his country, should be cautious, careful and painstak- ing in arriving at decision up on political, as well as other questions. As we said before if you are satisfied that Davis will make q better Governor than Wood vote for Davis, but if you have a doubt about 1t resolve such doubt against the third term idea and vote for Judge Wood for Governor.

\ shrewd swindle is being worked i'll some parts of the country. Men carrying sample cases of high grade fence wire visit the farmer aud solicits his order, to be paid for when deliv- cred, with every order a neat au- tomatic gate to be sent free in case the farmer pays q little mon- ev down, say S5 co. The catch IS so well done that a great many farmers bite. They ad- vance the 8. The agents go on and evidently keep on going, for they are never heard of again in that section of the country.

 Owing to the strike among the express messengers. the MoNTICEL- LoNIAN, which receives its paper, upon which to print the regular issues, by express, was forced to delay its last issue for three days, and then had to send large per cent of it's patrons q half-sheet, on ly. The matter, however. was something over which we had no control and we did the very best we possibly could under the cir cumstances. We sincerely hope that the strike will soon be settled and everything will work smooth ly once more.
 Mir. Walter Wilson, Drew Co.'S. popular and efficient sheriff, an nounees in this issue of the MoN- rIcELLoNIAN his candidacy for re election. Mr. Wilson has made the county as good sheriff as it has ever had, and hls reelection would insure II faithful executive officer in the future He IS we'll known to all of the people, and no man in the county has more or bet ter friends. His claims will re ceive that consideration which an honest, conscientious and capa ble officer deserves.
 In to-day's paper will be seen the announcement of MT. l. F. Koonce, who is candidate for Circuit Clerk of this county. Mr. koonce IS at present filling this DO sition, and has given and is giving as near perfect satisfaction to the patrons of the office as is possible for man to give. He makes an ex- cellent officer, and is always ready and willing to wait upon the pub lie. What he has done in the past is an earnest of what he will do in the future, and no man will want d better guarantee.
 Quite an amusing incident, at least to us, occurred in our pres ence the other day. Two very in telligent gentlemen were discussing the political situation, when one of them remarked: : Tt is better that we should all not see and think alike, and I am glad it is SO for if 1t were not then every other fellow would be in love with my wife. " Well, then, if that would be the case, the good Lord knows that am thankful too replied the one addressed As the first spokesman $ wife is the ugliest woman in town, the conversation stopped.
 MT. ]. M L. Thomasson an nounces in this issue his candidacy for Treasurer of Drew county. Mr. Thomasson, as will be seen by his card. which appears elsewhere, is an old Drew county citizen having passed the greater portion of his life here among its people. He is well known throughout the coun- ty, and has many friends who will be glad to give him their support. He Is thoroughly competent to fill the office to which he aspires, and if elected will doubtless make an efficient and faithful officer.
