my fellowman,
To the thousand of good women
over the stato who, during the
canvass manifested so lively an
interest in the cause of good
government, | desire to ackow-
ledge my highest appreciation of
their many kindly deeds and
gracious words in my behalf. Let
the standard of our morality and
intelligence be measured by the
purity and excellence of the
mothers and wives and daughters
of our common wealth, and we
need never fear that we shall, as
a state, suffer by comparison.

Roosevelt Now Has Majority.

Washington, May 1.-President
Roosevelt is now as good as nomi-
mated. The Republican State
and district conventions held last
week instructed enough delegates
for him to give him control Of the
convention.
The credit of nominating the
Republican candidate belongs to
the Third and Fourth Congress-
ional districts of Maryland, which
are in Baltimore. The National
Convention will consist Of 994
delegates.
Before these conventions were
sheld the delegates instructed for
sMr. Roosevelt early last week in
indiana, Kentucky, Illinois and
SWisconsin had given him a total
5of 494 delegates under instruct
Mons, or four less than the control
Mof the convention. The four
ssMaryland delegates who were
Effected and instructed Friday
MAKE his friends easily in control.

To Go Or MOI To 60.

The Worlds Fair is open and
the chief ambition of all who live
within convenient distance is to
visit that great attraction. For
the next few months the newspa-
pers will be full of incidents cal
culated to excite public interest,
and all roads will lead to st.
Louis for the time being. Those
who can afford the trip without
embarrassing themselves finan-
cially should take it if they have
the desire, but there is no foolish
ness greater than to drain a pri-
vate purse and invite the conse-
quent misfortunes merely for the
sake of going with the push" "
Sometimes people are led into
such mistakes because it is the
fashion. 1t is a griovious error
and the voice Of reason should re-
strain the reckless flight of the
fadist. We are not knocking"
the fair. Arkansas has an inter-
est in this big show and all her
people should feel proud Of it but
the reaction from reckless ex-
penditures for such attractions is
so hard for some people to bear
that we deem it but fair to recall
them from the contemplation of
the magnificence of the show
to realization of their actual
circumstances. Let those who
can afford it attend if they wish,
but at the same time let's not ere
ate the impression that not to at
tend is a terrible misfortune.-Ar-

printed an address to the people
of Arkansas, expressing gratitude
for the support he received in tho
March primaries, in which the
following occurs:
The face of the returns from
the recent primaries show that |
received 52,216 votes. To every
man who cast his vote for me,
desire to express my most sincere
thanks. | can but feel deeply
grateful to those who worked and
sacrificed for my success, and |
shall ever remember their kindly
interest in my behalf. Toward
those who were equally jealous
in the cause of my opponent, |
entertain no resentment. In fact,
many Of them, whom | met for
the first time on the canvass, and
others whom | had met before,
assured me that, while they could
not support me this time, they
were none the less my warm per-
sonal friends, and under other
conditions would be only too glad
to lend ne their support and in
fluence, | greatly appreciate
the friendship of any man, wheth-
er supporter of mine or not, and
trust that | shall always act so as

Interesting Items From The
Hub of Independence
County.

/ Batesville, May 2.-The con-
tract has been let for the federal
building here. and calls for its
completion by July /, 1905, The
contract was let to Stevens s.
Co. of Dallas. Texas, for the sun
of $50, 1872, and it is understood
they will begin work next month.
This building will be puilt of
| pressed brick, and when COM
pleted will add materially to the
looks Of the city.
The Independence County Bank,
which was organized about three
months ago, will throw open its
/ doors for business in about one
week. The bank has a capital
stock of $4,000. The officers are:
I. B. Padgett, president; Charles
! F. Cole, first vice president; W.
P, Blair, second vice president,
and C. H. Hogan, cashier. They
have an admirable location, being
just across froaa the postoffice.
The Barnett Bros new build
ing is ABOUT completed, and will
be ready for occupancy by June
l. This surpasses any building
in the city for both size and
beauty, having frontage of 100
feet, and a length of 1875 feet.
The front will be plate glass and
pressed brick. There is hardly
any building in north Arkanoas
that will outrival this structure.
AS proof of the general pros
perity of the city there is not a
vacant storehoIse in the city, and
hardly vacant residence, and
indications are that there will be
more buildings erected this sum-
mer than ever before.
