FINE EXHIBITION
 OF FANCY SHOOTING

Captain George E. Bartlett gave a most remarkable demon stration of fancy shooting at the Newport Gun Clubs grounds Monday afternoon. Capt. Bart lett is a promoter of shooting and is employed by the Peters Cartridge Company of Cincinna- ti to visit gun clubs and show the shooters what can be done with firstclass ammunition, and he certainly fills the bill.
 He shot in all manner of ways and demonstrated fully the many superior points of Peters cart ridges, both with shotgun and different calibre rifles. His in troductory shots were made with 30-30 soft nose cartridges taken from the stock of the Newport Builders Supply and Hardware Company. With these cartridges he made dust of pieces of brick thrown in the air by Paul R. Litzke of Little Rock; also burst ing a canlfull of water, complete ly shattering the can and evapor- ating the water. Then came the great test of high velocity and excessive penetration. Two or three pieces of boiler plate steel, 21-2inches square, were thrown in the air, being promptly punc- tured by the captain.
 The captain then gave a little lecture on the good qualities of Kings semi-smokeless powder, which was greatly appreciated by the large crowd of shooters present. He explained that semi-smokeless powder was not a nitro powder and was just as safe as common black powder, being compared with black pow der only, but the great feature of 1t being in it's not having one-  half as much smoke and the ex- treme cleanness of the gun bar rel after being used.
 The captain also showed what a good shot he was by doing some pretty work at looking glass shooting, breaking small pieces of brick and by shooting number less other objects thrown in the air, such as pieces of money, walnuts and other things. Any one calling at the Newport Builders Supply and Hardware Company will be shown many convincing proofs of his marvel ous shooting ability. MT. Bart lett will give another exhibition in Jonesboro on Friday.

BIRD TOWNSHIP.
Big Crowds Hear Candidates at Centerville and Tuckerman Hospitable People Well
 come Campaigners.

The editor last week enjoyed a trip on the hustings through Bird township with the county candi- dates, and had the pleasure of meeting the good citizenship of that section, almost a hundred of whom enrolled themselves on the subscription lists of the Weekly Independent. The rich agricultural land of this pros perity-enjoying township has not cnly produced bumper crops, but a class of sturdy, intelligent and conservative farmers who reflect credit upon the citizenship of Jackson county.
 The first open air engagement of the claimants for office was held Thursday at Elgin, where a goods box served as a rostrum and the crowd stood about within hearing distance. The number present was probably the small dst of any meeting up to that time during the campaign.
 Thursday night the editor en- joped the hospitality of Uncle" George Bandy's home, in com pany with his son, R. w. Randy, J. D. Neal and G. A. Hillhouse, and so genuine and cordial were the welcomes the party received, the next morning found us 10th to continue our travels.
 At Centerville the whole vot- ing strength of this good com munity was out in force and many ladies graced the affair with their presence. Wood but tons were everywhere in evidence and the squirrel-head" scribe who is supporting Wood natur- ally felt at home among such an enthusiastic gathering of his own faith. The church ladies served dinner in a building adjoining the postofice, convincing the visitors that good cooks as well as pretty maidens and comedy natrons were among their num- Der.
 The weeks campaign was closed Saturday at Tuckerman, when over two hundred voters were present to hear the speak ing, which took place in an arbor. Township candidates opened up in the morning and as six of them have offered themselves for justice of the peace of that town ship and several for constable. the noon hour intervened before the other candidates had hardly started.
 The Baptists are building a handsome little church edifce in this city, and to help the good cause along the ladies gave a dinner Saturday that was deser- vedly well patronized, for all manner of good things were bountifully served.
 Interest centeredin the speech es of the candidates for repre- sentative and it was late in the afternoon before their turn was reached. The audience was growing restless and it was evil dent that the candidates would not long hold the attention of a goodly portion of the crowd.
 In every race, where more than two candidates had entered the lists, the following order of speaking has been observed throughout the campaign. The first speaker reverted to the last, thus allowing the second man to open next day and the third the day following, and so on through out the series of engagements. This rule was recognized by MT. Keel in allowing Mir. Ard to speak first. No one questioned
