.,Ier's meeting, the purpose of the
meeting being to get together as

which will guarantee the success of
the movement, and an enjoyable oc-
casion.

An Enterprising Druggist

A close observer cannot fail to
take notice of the fact that DR.. w
<. Hamll is one OF the most up-to-
date merchants in this county. He
never loses an opportunity to i'm
prove and beautify his place of
business in every way possible.
His latest step in this direction is a
large electric sign in front of his
drug store, which makes his front
look quite like those of the larger
cities. 1t would be well for other
merchants of Pocahontas to follow
the example of Dr. Hamil in the
matter of fitting up and beautifying
their places of business.

County Fight Settled

Several hours were spent in the
state Farmers Union meeting at
Little Rock Friday in tie settle
ment of the factional fight which
has been carried on in the Randolph
county ranks for some time. This
county has been split for more than
a year over the ruling of President
Lewis in the matter of assessment,
and the fight on the floor of the con-
vention Friday morning was a Bit
ter one, finally resSlting in the con-
vention refusing to sustain the
presidents ruling. w. X. McIlroy
and Ed Hawkins led the fight for
the "insurgents" and were opposed
by the regular delegates from this
county. Though not generally
known to the public, this factional
fight has kept the county union
hopelessly divided for long time,
but members of both factions of the
union say that the victory gained by
the insurgent element on the con-
vention floor will result in healing
the difference in the organization in
this county.
