Did you ever stop to think that
North Arkansas lies in the Ozark
range, that it has more fine marble
thana any district in the world Of
like size, that her mineral value is
said by those high in authority to
be richer and more extensive than
any other district in the United
States, that she has vast timber
belts still untouched, that her fruit
display is supported by a greater
list OF premiums than that of any
other state in the Union, that her
range is the best in the United
States today, that her mountain
range is covered with the most sue
eulent grasses in the world. Giant
springs OF water, cold and pure,
wash down the grassy breasts of
mountains, whose marble brows are
homes for honeysuckles; that in her
sunshine is found the happiest
homes, this side of Heaven, presided
over by the sweetest matrOnS tnat
ever bore the spark of life
The cool September days are here,
The whippoorwill is gone,
The setting hen is off the nest,
But the candidates still on,
Two lovely porcelain door knobs
That look so brown and sleek,
Assures brood of down.and-o
When they go up the creek.
A set of false teeth for women, and
a shaving mug for men awaits the
successful contestant who solves
the puzzle of the ballot Juggling in
the Boone county primary. For
obvious reasons no candidate will
be allowed to enter the contest, or

edge limo contestant is successful
up to the November election, this
contest will be withdrawn, and the
premiums will be stored in the burg

Keener bank for use in future pri-
maricS.
The most practical example of
strenuosity in the interest of good
road agitation was given by two of
the leading professionals of keener,

ARKANSAS laws require that no
appropriation be made for longer
than two years. The question of
re-appropriating the pension fund
never arose until recently, by the de-
eision Of the Arkansas supreme
court to the effect that no money
could be spent on the new state cap
itol building until the capitol fund is
appropriated Now it is thought
State Auditor Moore will have to
hold up the Confederate pension
fund of $472, 900 until after the sit
ting of the next legislature.

THE Farmers Union is not in pol
itics but down in Texas they have
a legislative committee whose duty
it is to attend all sessions of the leg
islature, and keep tab on how each
member votes on such laws as are
beneficial or detrimental to the
farmers interests. When the ses-
sion is over the committee issues a
report stating how members voted
on certain bills, and send it out all
over the state. Being thus watched
has teney to hold representatives
in line with farmers measures.

We favor such legislation as will
prohibit the railroads from engag-
ing ir business which brings them
into competition with their shippers,
also legislation which will assure
such reduction in transportation
rates as conditions will permit, care
being taken to avoid reductions
.4llat would compel reduction OF

ADDRESS,.

To THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF AR.
KANSAS:
September 14th will be the day
and hour of Democracv's need, and
every loyal Democrat should be up
and doing.
The great battle that is now on is
not for the Presidency alone, but for
the rights, If not the liberties, of the
people,
Never before in the history of our
country has the results of al election
been iraught with so much danger
to the people, The country needs
the Democratic party as never be.
tore, and the party needs every stall
wart son.
Arkansas is among the States
holding State elections prior to No
vember, and the result in our State
is being watched with the deepest
interest. If our majority here is re-
duced the enemy will use that fact
with telling effect against us, and it
will have a tendency to discourage
our fellow Democrats in the doubt
full States, who are making such a
brave fight for our mutual rights.
furthermore, the basis ofrepresent-
alton in the various counties i'll the
State convention two years hence
will be fixed by the vote of our can
didate for Governor, and if each
county is to have the representation
to which its numbers rightfully en-
title it, 1t must cast every vote pos
sible But we have other and great
er incentives. Our cause was never
more Just or inspiring, or hope OF
victory better founded
That peerless leader, William J.
Bryan, is making the most ma9nlh
cent fight for the restoration OF the
peoples rights that the world has
ever witnessed.
And in the election OF our candi-
date for Governor, George w. Dona-
ghey, Arkansas is going to have a
united Democracy, devoid of the
factional feeling OF partisanshlp with
which it has suffered in the past.
The State will have at his hands 4
business administration of its affairs
that guarantees to every citizen
within its borders peace, prosptr ity
and contentment. 1t is our duty not
only as Democrats but as patriots
to give to him and the entire Demo
cratic ticket our earnest and en-
thusiastic support
1t seems to me that these are sutfi-
Gent reasons to induce practically
every member OF the party to devote
some time and effort between now
and September 14th to the success
OF the party and to aid in securing
the largest majority for Democracy
the State has ever known.
September Il, the Ballot Box, Geo
W. Donaghey-the three constitute
the time. the place and the man.
Democrats Of Arkansas, do your
duty. Very respectfully,
X. f. MmwEE,
Chairman Democratic State
Central Committee.

Memorial Day.

Last Saturday was about the most dole
ful Memorial Day in the recollection of any
of us. A beating rain set in early in the
morning and continued all day. AS result
there was almost an entire absence Of en-
thusiasm in the ceremonies Of the day.
Details of General Howell Post decorated
the graves of their comrades in the morn
ing, and in the afternoon the meeting was
held in the Court House, addressed by ex-
Senator /. 7, Nichols, of Bridgeton. The
audience was the smallest ever known here
on like occasion, but the eloquent speaker
made most interesting and instructive
address.
All the events scheduled for the day
base ball, races, and Park amusements
were declared off, and she dav was blank
so far as outdoor activities were concerned.

to his new charge at Hampton, Virginia.
Mr.. Jenkens pastorate here has been sue
cessful one. The church has been strength

nations. He is held in especial esteem by
the glassblowers of the local branch, who
gave him reception in their hall last Fri
day night, and presented him with group
photograph of the Branch. and beautiful
leather couch and down pillow as an evi
dence OF their esteem. Speeches were made
by the members. It was most unusual
and touching meeting. The Branch also
voted him an honorary member of their
organization, and presented him with a
badge Of the society. In his farewell ser
mon Mr.. Jenkens referred feelingly to The
friendship of these workers.
Mr.. Jenkens, wife and child left Wood

post graduate course in the University Of
Penna., was called, in the absence of DR..
Rogers, to see horse in Camden that was
bisten by mad dog. Realizing the gray
ity Of the case, DR.. Bakelaar induced she
owners TO submit the horse TO the Pasteur
treatment, and at once made arrangements
with the Pasteur Institute in Baltimore for
supply OF the necessary virus.
The horse will receive daily injections Of
a virus progressively increasing in strength
for twenty one days, and will then be inn
mune to rabies. We believe this is the
first time an animal has received this treat
ment.

Woodbury. Boy q Murderer.

Philadelphia papers this morning tell a
horrible tale of murder in that city last
evening in which Ellis Abbott, son of Mr..
and Mrs. A. s. Abbott, of this city, is the
principal. He and his wife have beer es-
tranged, and he went to her boarding house
last evening; she answered his ring. AS she
opened the door he began firing, and meyer
ceased until fYe bullets had been lodged in
her body He then walked coolly away.
Philadelphia authorities say he was in
Woodbury. later IN the night, and they are
looking for him. Sympathy for the parents
and brothers and sisters is universal.
