Something for You
 to Think About

In 1897 the Southwest Arkansas Tele- phone Go. started business in Prescott. At that time copper wire cost Il 3-4 cents per pound. Now it is 25 cents. In spite of the increased cost of mater ials and operations the rates are no higher now than then.
 The local toll and farmer line ser vices reaches nearly every part of the county. The long distance service is splendid.
 If you do not now.have telephone in your home or place of business you should have one installed at once.

 Give the old horses ground feed. A horse with worn out teeth cannot keep in good condition on hard, whole grain.
 Well.developed, healthy turkey hens of two or three years of age make the best breeders.
 Handle the young horse with the utmost care when breaking. All loud talking and abuse should be avoided. Will the predigested food fad ex- tend to the farmer at last so that he will eventually be feeding predigested hay and grain to his stock?
 It doesn't pay to raise the scrub horse which nobody wants, but coach CTS and draft animals of good stock are always in demand at good prices.

ried Weapon.


ried a Weapon.
New York, April 13.-Harry Thaw
has, through his attorneys, given out
the following statement:
II wish the jury and every one else
to understand that no one more de-
spises person who carries con-
cealed weapon more than I.
THAT only after my life was in
jeopardy, as I was informed ? by per-
sons and as was communicated to me
by professional detectives, did I pro-
tect myself. Then I employed the
Pinkertons and they could never prove
these attempts so I could invoke the
protection Of the law or disprove them
50 could safely continue defenseless.
"Then, doubling my judgment,
consulted an ex-chief of police, man
respected in his community, and he
advised that my duty was to protect
myself.
"In this trial I wish my case solely
and simply based upon the law of the
state and upon the evidence, which
had convinced not only me, as l re-
viewed all this evidence, but also the
district attorney, that I am innocent
under the written law of the state"

addition to asking that the trust
agreement be set aside he incidentally
asks for the appointment of a receiver
for the railroad company itself. 1t
alleges many Illegal acts on the part

even the stirring events of those
days did not impair that friend
ship. In fact both of them did
what they could to keep personal
issues out of the fight. So on the
part of Mr.. Dunn and Mr.. Dav it
was simply a renewal of en- old
friendship. Even Harvey Grim.

been a factor in Dunn's defeat,
was given a hearty handshake by
the former state auditor.

about an hour, during which
time the 1904 campaign was dis
