Tommie and His DOG,

Quite unique and pleasing spec
tacle has been witnessed on the
streets for several days.
Tommie Keath owns black and
ring-necked dog, which has devel-
oped considerable domestic qualities.
Tommie also owns small wagon, of
the usual pattern owned by boys.
AS Tommie goes down town every
morning he is accompanied by his dog
an wagon.
When they reach the granolith
walk. on Main. at the corner OF Ash,
Tommie sits down in his wagon and
then the dog puts his fore feet in the
back end Of the wagon and pushes the
wagon and passenger along with an
air Of satisfaction and importance that
would do credit to a Chinese coole.
Lately Tommie has had set OF
harness made and the dog works to
the wagon horse fashion and is readily
obedient 10 the word Of command.

balance Of TIE year 1906 any and all
esoutions and ordinances, which the
city may have to publish, FREE OF
all cost.
With a feeling of kindness and fair
ness for my competitor and with no
disposition to take any advantage OF
him. | proposed that we together
share the work. This he didn't see
fit to DO, but appearantly took our
suggestion as a personal effront, judg-
ing from his choler.c utterances. AT
about the same meeting of the City
Council that the ARGUS offered to as
sist above, in passing over the
critical period of our municipal ii
nance. the members of that body vol
unfairly and unanimously agreed to
cut down their own salaries to about
one third of what it was formerly, thus
displaying in their action spirit OF
patriotism most commendable and
which makes us glad that we live in
city with such men as citizens.
From this it looks as if there were
others who were able and felt like
lending helpful hand in tina time OF
Brinkley's need.
There are many who do not feel
able and disposed to conceed SO much
and they are not to be criticised in the
least, for it is rot every one who can
serve in the same way. However
the ARGUS felt that il had an oppor-
tunity to help, at time when help
was needed and is quite glad to render
the humble service as above suggest
ed FREE OF ALL COST, during the time
suggested.

WAKE UP, CHRISTIAN PEOPLE,

Up at Jonesboro on last Sunday
night the many churches OF that city
called in their regular appointments
and all joined in one great Union
Temperance Rally and Service in the
Court House Square at which there
were nearly 1000 or 5000 people pres
ent. he ministers Of the various
churches conducted the services and
it is told that a great spirit OF enthu-
siasm prevailed at the meeting. 1t
was decided to repeat the service
EVERY Sunday until the election is
held. Such an action means some
thing-it means that notwithstanding
the fact that the good people OF Jones'
boro have suffered from not having de-
cent officers to enforce their laws, that
they are going ahead any way and pro-
pose to vote Craighead county dry at
the September election. They are in
earnest about ii and sent delegation
10 Little Rock to knock out the selec-
ton Of election commissioners favor
ing the saloon. They won out there
and now expect TO get fair count.
The way those Jonesboro people
are doing should be little stimula-
ting to Brlnkley church people. This
united plan counts for something and
cur ministers should all get together,
call in their services at some particu-
lar time and have grand union tenn
perance meeting.
Better get busy, brethren, for with
a united effort you can arouse cur
people 10 a sense CT duty at the polls.
Let's implore our men 10 stand for
the honor, peace, and happiness Of
self, wife and children by putting up
the largest vote AGAINST LICENSE a!
the September election, that Brinkley
has ever polled.
Brlnkley's honor is at stake.

City Printing for Nothing.

Some have asked why il is that the
ARGUS has offered to publish. free OF

ysar, any and all city ordinances and
solutions OF the City Council.
Relative to this the writer begs 10 say
III t the ARGUS has never done any
thing of this kind before; that We were
only prompted to do it THIS TINE, By
desire to serve the community in
time of need, and in such way that
good would come from it.
In my long time fight against the
licensed saloon in Bdaklsy. the strong
opposition TO putting the vile places

The desire for personal popularity is
keeping many men from being strong
and useful to their communities and
fellow citizens. The great desire to
float with the easy tide rather than
stem the current and stand for princi-
pies Of right and honor is the God, the
IDOL, the shrine, at which too many OF
cur men worship. There are men in

RECORD OF THE COURTS.

Yesterday was Bryan day In Birming-
ham and the court house officials took In
the occasion. All the offices were empty
and litigants, II any there were, were
compelled to postpone filing suits until
the wave of enthusiasm subsidized.
The grand jury will make its official
report today. It would be idle to attempt
to forecast the report but most likely
special reference will be made to the
number of prisoners held in Jail during
the summer months and who were dis
charged for want of evidence to indict
them. The Lewisburg ballot box theft
will furnish subject for comment and
the scrip buyers shall come in for some
attention.
