introduction And the demand for it is
still growing Isn't that fine showing
of success? Don't it prove that August
Flower has had unfailing success in the
cure of Indigestion and dyspepsia-the
two greatest enemies of health and hap
.piness? Does it not afford the best evil
dence that August Flower Is sure spe-
cific for all stomach and intestinal disor-
orders ?-that it has proved itself the best
OF all liver regulators? August Flower
has matchless record of over thirty-fve
years in curing the ailing millions ofthese
distressing complaints-a success that is
becoming wider in its scope every day, at
home and abroad, as the fame of August
Flower spreads. Trial bottles, 25c; reg

AGAINST REDIsTRlcTING.

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
don't often appear in print, but | am
informed that some Of our good people
want to economic and say Benton Coun-
ty must be redistlicted. AS / approve
every good word and work, will venture
! a few suggestions that seems to me would
not be out OF place, and hope in so doing
! will not commit an objectionable sin,
The refornaers say of the sixteen dis
tricts as now established by law that we
should have about eight in order to rid
the county court of about sixteen justices
and save about 5000 year or less. This
accomplished, eight constables, eight tax
assessors and twenty-!our school com
missioners who don't cost the county or
| the school fund one cent-in all, fitty-six
| innocent civil officers impeached because,
perhaps, these offices are not filed by
and through some designing influence
Well and good.
A pretty good showing. especially il to
be done through the influence of politi-
clans, as indicated by your Dry Greek
correspondent Might he not have add
ed, land others who do not nor never
did have but little if any interest in mat
ters pertaining to and in the peoples in
terest."
Very well; why not follow up the good
work of reform by consolidating the of
fee of County Court Clerk and Register
into one, and the office of Circuit Court
Clerk and Clerk and Master into one
to be elected by the people; have them
to stay in their offices where they can be
found when people call on official bust
ness, and let them live ON their fees or
resign. This would save more than a
hundred dollars year to the tax payers.
Repeal the office of County Judge. This
would be saving of two hundred dollars
a year or more.
Repeal the act creating a Board of Equal
izers and the act creating Finance Com
mittee. Both these are useless offices and
are quite an expense for nothing unless
its to make men feel their Importance.
Repeal the law creating three Railroad
Commissioners and let the Railroad Tax
Assessors perform their duties, which can
be done for the same pay.
When these things are accomplished,
we can redistriot and make five large,
healthy, creditable districts, which some
think is enough.
0, but somebody might say that won't
do; it would bring us under the Dortch
Law. Then suggest if the Dorch Law
stands in the way and is forcing the peo-
pie to squander hundreds of dollars of the
public money annually and we can't re-
form because of it, had we not better have
it repealed also?
Perhaps better plan would be to begin
at the top. Reduce the State Senate to
twenty and the House of Representatives
to sixty. This done | am of the opinion
we could succeed in getting man of in
telligence to become candidate for the
legislature.
The people in this community are OPP
posed to the Legislature redistricting the
county and we would like to hear from
others. Cork SCREW.

erage daily attendance, 50; per cent of

that we lacked So of teaching out the pub
dents, and as we have long since decided
that it is not fair for three or four patrons
to furnish all the wood during the term
of school, so we will devide the money
among those who furnished it according
to the number of loads each one hauled.
There being loads hauled, that would
only be rs cents per load, divided as fol-
lows: Newt Bym, loads wv S. Baker,
2loads; George Garner, L load; George
French, load.
To the close observing critic there are
2'cents not accounted for, and for their

winter as shown above is still better.
Now, if we had compulsory school
law to compel those to send to school who
do not unless they have certain teacher
or the school begins on certain day, but
prefer to let their children grow up in ig-
norance and superstition, then, and not
till then, will the cause of educationuin
our State make much improvement.
We will say to those who are opposed
to redistricting our county that they need
suffer no uneasiness if they wait for the
county court to do it, for every move they
have made within our memory have been
to increase the number of districts If
each district had thoroughly competent
tax assessor, we would have no use for
the board of equalizers.
