Wood Buttons.

During the past few days there
has been a noticeable increase in
the visible supply of Wood but
tons. If Judge Wood had any
friends here a month ago they
said nothing about it, but now at
least half the people we meet up
on the streets are wearing a
Wood button. They are just a
plain little wooden affair, made
so as to be worn in a button-hole
of the coat and the way they
have increased here in the past
two weeks is astonishing, We
notice, too, that several parties
who have heretofore been Davis
men are now wearing them. -

the field to the scheming place

than personal preferment, and

shrewd knowledge of men, and

BEAKLEY FOR TIE SENATE.

A correspondent in the Imboden
Gazette writes:
"In times past this senatorial
district was represented by men
of rare ability and who lent dig
nifty and honor to the office. In
1888 Hon. Sam H. Davidson was
the senator from this district
and was followed successfully
by Hon. Clay Sloan, Judge A. j..
Witt and Hon. Dave King. These
were all men to whom the peo-
pie of the district could point
with pride, and feel assured that
their interests were in safe hands.
1t is now up to the voters Of the
End senatorial district to select
a successor to these able men.
1t is one Of the two candidates
for the nomination Of senator
that | desire to call the attention
of your readers, namely, j. N.
Beakley, Of Walnut Ridge. In
him we have a candidate who is
in every way qualified to uphold
the high standard set up by his
predecessors. A man of edu-
cation, refinement and culture.
A man in whom the people can
place implicit confidence, and feel
that their interests are his inter-
ests, and will be looked after
with the same jealous care he
would bestow on his own private
business. In him we will have
a senator who will do honor tc
the people and the high Office tc
which he aspires, A man who
will go to the senate pledged tC
no man or set of men, no clique
or faction, but who has the cour,
age and ability to do his duty as
he sees it. Such a man Mr.. Ed.
itor it is our duty to elect, anC
such a man believe the people
will elect, A DEMOCRAT.

BY WILLIAM THORP.

The people of Jamaica are very hard
IN for public amusements. Once or
twice a year the island is visited by a
travelling italian opera company on its
way to the music-loving cities of South
America; but until about three years
ago the people had never seen cir
Gus. It is true that the local legisla-
tute, but unfortunately only a few per-
sons were permitted to enjoy the an
tics of that august body.
Naturally, therefore, the inhabitants
of Kingston, the capital of the island,
were convulsed with joyous excite
nent when they heard, one broiling
summer morning in 1901, that a real
live circus with a real live elephant
had arrived in port from Cuba on a
little tramp steamer and was going to
give performances.
1t was the first elephant that had
ever been in the island, and thousands
of people of all shades of color, rang
ing from pallid white to inky black,
hurried to see the wonderful beast.
He was In full view of the multitude.
The dinky little tramp steamer of 500
TONS had not been built with a view
TO carrying elephants. When he stood
up in the hold his back bumped above
the level of the deck and the matches
could not be closed. When he sat
down 70 port or starboard the ship
listed dangerously.
Fer Gawd's sake, git this ere damn
ed beast off my ship soon as you know
'ow." gasped the cockney skipper to
the wharfinger. "'Ad ell of a time
bringin' i'm over! First e bounced
10 starboard an then e bounced to
port an so we seesawed all the way
from Cuba. tried to quiet 'em down
