We are printing in another column two items taken from our exchanges, which announce that b. F. Taylor. late republican candidate for con- gress, opposing Hon. R. E. Macon, will contest NIT. Macon's seat. This is news indeed, and most ludicrous news at that. Taylor was so over- whelmingly defeated that it seems ridiculous for him to entertain for one moment an idea that congress will give his contest more than passing notice. The Clay County Republican, republican newspaper, claims fraud in many counties, but does not mention St. Francis, and despicably states that the election in its own county was fair and above suspicion. thus ex- hibiting species of cowardiee that is eontemptible, because 1t plainly shows he did not have the nerve to accuse his own fellow citizens with whom he is in daily contact. and who would probably resent any imputa- tions upon their integrity Taylor was hardly known to be a candidate. He had never been announced in the public prints, and in this county only a few persons knew he was a candi- date until they found his name upon the ticket. Taylor never had any chance to be elected, but it seems a part of preconeerted program to keep up appearances so as 10 keep a tight hold upon the public teat.

The gravel pit gang working at Crow Creek were arrested and ar raigned before Squire Hurley Wednes- day on charge of cruelty to animals. It seems they were working mules with great collar sores on their necks. The cases were compromised by im- posing fine of s250 on three of the party, and the others were disc harg- ed, The officers would do we'll to look about them for other cases of this kind, There is much cruelty of this and other kinds practiced on the poor dumb brutes of this county, and the perpetrators should be fined heavily for it.

He has always been present al the first roll call. since he was elected the first time. and at the last session broke the record for punctual attendance upon the sessions 0f that body. He didn't miss a roll call and was not tardy during any day If the long session of seven months. As d consequence be succeeded in getting lb bills passed, a greater number than was passed bE any other member from Arkansas. and a greater number than was ever passed by member from the First district during a single session.
 At the recent election Nr Macon received all overwhelming majority but the official vote has been aHnoun- eed by the secretary Of state. In Phillips county, where MT. Macon. resides. he received l.B00 votes and his opponent less than l00. He car ried his opponents county. Mississip- pi. by large majority. beating him two to one in his own township. While there was great apathy among the democrats 1t was no less apparent among the republicans. who let the election ge practically by default Wynne Progress.
 Representative Bruce Macon, of this congressional district has introduced bill in congress to stop dealing in futures on cotton, grain and proyis- ions and stated Tuesday that he had strong hope of it's passage in the house.
 He said he introduced a similar bill in the Arkansas legislature in 1888. and il passed both houses. The bucket shop operators tested its constitution ality on the ground that it YVES ill re- straint of trade.
 The supreme court of Arkansas held that the law was constitutional, but when the question was taken to the United States supreme court, 1t held that the legislature of a state could not pass law which would prevent citizen of one state from dealing in futures with citizens of another state.

well. and soon the heifer begins to
forget about me. The nice bits of
food that Laddie puts up for her take
her attention from what is going on
behind. Now and then stop to stroke
her sides softly and speak to her en-.
couragingly.
"All right now," say in the same
steady tone of voice after time.
That's all for this time"

I know there is smile back of the

boy. But I have got something else
that is worth more-my self respect

Two or three times more and we will
have her all right. We didn't have
to use the whip, either!"
"Well, what I would like to know
is, why did they put that piece in the
paper?"
I have wondered about that myself.
