Mothers love is the purest and
best of any love born on earth,
and it is as unselfish and indy

loves may die, mother love never
will, never can.
Editors, in common with all
humanity, appreciate having
rose occasionally dropped in their
pathway to blunt the sharp
points of the many thorns over
which the life of the average
editor leads him. If you appre-
ciate this Home Circle depart
ment do not be backward in
stating the fact to us. Tell your
neighbors and friends about it
and urge them to become sub
scribers to the only paper in the
county that goes to the necessary
labor to prepare such column.
We like to think and reflect
upon our youthful life. How
swiftly as the summers sun or
winters blast, like a beautiful
panorama or dream, the days de-
parted to be known no more to
us! Yes, how swiftly they seem
now, as we think of the dear de-
parted days of childhood, and
with what anxiety we looked
forward to the time when we
could become useful and not
simply ornamental for where is
the child that does not sometimes
grow tired of being petted and
fOndled as mere plaything, and
in the utmost recesses of its
heart long to become "grown up"
so they may be privileged to
exercise greater will power?
The other morning in our
rambles we met a little ragged
urchin, whom we thought to be
lost. "Where is your home"?
we inquired of the little black
eyed boy. Pointing to an old
beggar woman across the street
he said: "That is my mother,
and where mother is, that is my
home" How true was the
answer. Where mother is, is
home, Home is the magic circle
within which the weary spirit
finds refuge. 1t is the sacred
asylum to which the careworn
hearts retreats to find rest from
the tolls and cares of life. Home
and mother are words that touch
every fibre of our souls. As
dear as home can be is the
mother who presides over it.
Long years may have flown since
we saw that home, and since the
dearest of all earthly friends has
slept the long and silent sleep of
death; but that home and that
mother will never cease to awak-
en- the sweetest recollections of
our lives
BY the Preside still the light is
shining,
The children's arms around
the parents twining;
From love so sweet, O who would
roam?
Be it ever SO humble, home is
home.

Another Tragedy al Batesyiile.

Monday evening ahout5 O'Clock
Walter Strickland was killed by
his companion Fred Southard,
two miles from Batesville.
The two yodng men had been
to town, and were returning home
in wagon when Southard, who
was under the influence of whis-
KEY, accidentally killed Strickland
with a ball from a pistol which he
was flourishing. The boys were
great friends and their parents
are prominent people OF jefferson
township, independence county,
1t is claimed Strickland was not
drinking when he was killed.
The killing was doubtless &C.
cidental, the result Of the pistol
and whiskey.

Davis at POCahontaS.

Pocahontas, July 18.-Nearly
1000 people were i'll Pocahontas
today, having been attracted here
on account Of circuit court, big
barbecue, and to hear Gov. Davis
speak. In his Introductory re-
marks the governor said the cam
paign proper between the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans opened, on
the Attn of August, and it was
through an earnest invitation
from the Catholic Knights Of
America that ne was here, and
that he was sorry Myers did not
come.
In referring to the board OF
election commissioners, he said
that he actually begged and im-
plored the other two members OF
the board to appoint men as
election commissioners who were
his friends, out they would not
heed him, and then he made an
earnest plea for a solid Demo
cracy, asking Wood and Davis
supporters to line up, side by side,
and give the Republicans "a sound
thrashing. 'r
He then read a clipping from
the State Republican, which said
that Randolph county would go
for Myers. He asked all who
voted for Wood in the recent pri-
mary to hold up their hands.
Quite q number of hands went up.
Then he asked all Wood men who
intended to vote for Myers to put
up their hands, and only two or
three hands went up.
The governor paid his respects
to the negro plank Of the Repub-
ican platform, and drew a very
dramatic scene from the incident
of the negro boy and the little
white girl being marched, arm in
arm, on the stage during the Re-
publican convention.
He said if Roosevelt should be
elected an attempt would be made
to cram negro equality down our
throats and cut down Southern
representation in congress. He
said he would like to see Myers
walk arm in arm on the platform
with a big niggar.
Summing up Republicanism in
Arkansas in few forcible words,
he said that if the Republicans
should win in Arkansas the scenes
of the "Powell Clayton and Poker
Jack Mcclure reign" would be re-
enacted.
He then closed with a glowing
tribute to the grand old state of
Arkanas and said he sill had
faith in her Democracy. From
the great enthusiasm manifested
throughout his speech, Randolph
county will roll up a good, safe
majority for Davis in September

member of the other faction while

nothing so great as the greatness

The Sabbath school at this
place is worthy of commendatlon.
The attendants are most all young
DeODle, Sabbath schools are en-
nobling institutions; instilling
within us mental purity and chas-
tity, which intensifies our useful
ness in this life and puts US in
touch with the stepping stones
whice lead, if we but follow, to
land of eternal bliss.
We feel quite proud of our band
boys. At eventide, when busi-
ness cares are put aside and leis-
ure claims the hour, they take up
their instruments and discourse
sweet music, until you are re-
minded Of how the Hebrews cul-
tivated and loved music when the
world was young. They play
beautifully, and all their pieces
are lovely; all save one, and that
one is simply grand. | do not
know the name Of this particular
piece Of music, but some 5almy
evening when the world lies hush
ed around you, listen; and as the
musicians notes drift from one air
to another they will softly play
the piece of which speak. You
can tell it from all the rest, for it
is like some sad, sweet story told
by a breaking heart, and its soft,
subdued pathos will appeal di.
roetly to your soul,
The black berry crop is enormous,
and the ladies in this vicinity are
indulging in some canning. l
imagine the principal ed.bles will
be vegetables, fruit, milk bread
and the like in our neighborhood
next winter, and we can play like
ancient Fasteners out here in the
west, but we will not be as fastid-
ious as the Jews, refusing the
hog on account of his unclean-
ness. If meat is restricted as an
article of food only when some
body comes to take sop with US,
it will be on account of its scar
city.
