Dear Reader, do you think ii
would prove your bravery if you
were to strike a man with great
big club, while two other men held
him fast? That's what Governor
JEFF Davis did at Hope, and that's
what our Madison contemporary
thinks was great feat of bravery
on the part Of the governor. We
will acknowledge that it was a
great show OF courage (for HIM
even under the circumstances. Ii
this is the idea held by our dear
brother of the News, of bravery,
we should hate TO have him for a
foe.

The jeff Davis organs have al
most exhausted their vocabulary
trying TO make their readers be-
lieve that the redoubtable jeff had
the courage to hit Judge Wood.
But everybody who reads, knows
that if Judge Bourland had not
had Judge Wood safely pinioned
from behind, jeff Davis would
have been "going somo" yet. 1t
was very brave % of the Big
demagogue and coward to strik e
Judge Wood when he was being
held for that purpose by two other
big henchmcn.

What about building that addi-
ton to the school house, Unless
a mass-meeting is had and ways
and means devised the school will
suffer next year. The board can.
not build this addition without

VERY UNFORTUNATE,

1t is a matter of great regret
among his friends, and very little
short of a calamity to the town of
, Forrest City, that Capt. James
Fusscll has announced his deter.
minatjon to decline to allow his
name TO go upon tho ticket for re.
election TO tho office of Alderman
| Of Forrest City, TO be voted for in
the primary next Monday.
There are those perhaps, who
will be gratifed. ! here are, in
every town, a few men who for
one reason or another, will find
fault with any and every admins
tration of public affairs, no matter
how perfect and uuseltish such ad.
ministration may be.
10 our personal knowledge
Capt. James Russell has serve
the citizens of this town as alder.
man, and of this school district
as school director, and the demo
| cratic party of this county, as dele
gate, committeeman, advisor, &c.
almost continuously for eighteen
years without compensation OF
any kind, except such as came TO
him IN the Legitimate channels of
trade, and the 50 per meeting of
the council, which the law allows
m m. He is busy man. He has
largo mercantile, farming and 9TH
er interests which demand his
time, and his time is valuable to
him. Yet he has ever been ready
wi h his personal service, his mon.
ey and his credit, to push forward
every public enterprise which he
thinks vii! benefit the town.
To no man moro than to Capt.
james Fdssell is due credit for our
excellent school building and good
schools, our water works, electric
lights, sewers, telephone exchange,
oil mill, ice factory, and other in
dastriaI enterprises.
There are those perhaps who
are Jealous of his influence, and
some who are so unkind as to say
that he is sel6shly interested in
what he does for the public. We
do not think SO, Our estimate of
the man IS that he has pride in
his county, IN his surroundings,
and like every good citizen does
what he can TO push it forward.
that he is is man of brains and
born leader. He never follows;
II a thing seems good to him, he
at once puts that energy and in
hucnco and common sense behind |
il which makes it success.
We say again that it is very un.
in fact little short Of
calamity, that he refuses to allow
his name to go on the ticket 1t |
will be very hard indeed to Eli his
place.

Private reasons for opposing
the honorable representation of
Arkansas on the Isthmian Canal
Commission is an unSatisfa Glory
explanation Of the hurtful silence
of our distinguished representa-.
tive
No private or personal reason
should govern your public action
in congress, Mr.. Macon, when the
best interests of your state de,
mand your full and vigorous sup
port of q distinguished fellow
citizen.
We venture the assertion that
80 per cent of the democratic vo-
ters Of Arkansas are anxious to
see Senator Jones appointed, there
being no other Arkansian who has
"a possible chance.
1t is an honor which the state
cannot afford to lose; it is com
pIment to one Of her most dis
tinguished citizens which The
state must appreciate or tecome
puerile in the eyes of the nation.
James K. Jones holds third place
in the greatest honors that can be
bestowed by this nation. Will our
congressman honor him less? We
hope not.
