MRS. HARRIET 6. JONES DEAD
Wife Of John s. Jones Expired
 Last Thursday.
Having Lived Here For Thirty Five Years.

Mrs. Harriet C. Jones, wife of John $. Jones, died at her home in this city early last Thursday morning, after long illness. Her death was not unexpected, as it had been realized that the end was near for several days. So peace fully and gradually, however, did death come to her that those who surrounded her beside were hardly aware of the moment when she breathed her last.
 Funeral services were held Fri day afternoon at the Baptist church of which Mrs. Jones had long been faithful member, and were con- ducted by the pastor, Rev. J. J. Hurt. The interment took place at Oak Grove cemetery.
 Mrs. Jones was born in Missis- sippi i'll IS4S, her maiden name being Rosenberry. On December I, 1868, she was married to John s. Jones, with whom she lived happily for over thirty-nine years. She moved with him to Conway in 1873, being among the first citizens of Conway, settling here before the town was organized. She was the mother of nine children, of whom six survive her. The surviving children are Mrs. o. o. Florence, J. Frank Jones, Joe B. Jones, Kir- by Jones, Miss Bernice Jones and Charley Jones, all of this city. Two sisters, Mrs. Mary Boyer and Miss Temple Rosenberry of Clarks- vile, Ark, also survive her.

GEO. w. CLARK ANNOUNCES
Faulkner County Man a Candidate for
 Prosecuting Attorney.

The Log Cabin Democrat this week presents the name of George w. Clark of Faulkner county as a candidate for the office of prosecut- ing attorney of the seventeenth ju- dicial circuit, subject to the action of the Democratic primary to be held on March 25.
 MT. Clark needs no introduction to the readers of this paper. He is a native of the circuit of which he aspires to be the prosecuting attorney, having been born in Lon oke county, but for P years has been a citizen of Faulkner county. For the past IA years he has been one of the successful attorneys of this section of the state. He has always been prominent worker in the Democratic party, and ably represented Faulkner county in the legislature several years ago.
 The two other counties in the circuit, Lonoke and Prairie, from which the opponents of MT. Clark come, have practically monopolized the judicial offices of the district since it was organized. With the exception of about three years when Judge J. $. Thomas of Mon- roe county was circuit judge, Lon oke and Prairie county have fur nished both the judge and the prosecuting attorney ever since the district was organized, IS years ago. The latter county now has the judgeship, with every reason that it will continue to hold 1t for at least six years longer. Faulk- ner county has never ben given a judicial officer since the county was organized.
 The friends of MT. Clark are le- zion and there is hardly any ques- ton in their minds but that he will be the successful candidate. In every way qualified, if elected he will make a splendid officer.

HE ENJOYS READING PAPER
Texas Man Writes that He Likes The Log
 Cabin Democrat.

Ecitor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Will you allow me little space in my old home paper? 1 was raised in Faulkner county, and as I read the columns of the grand old Log Cabin Democrat 1t brings my mind back to old boyhood days and makes me feel like 1 had met a great many of my old friends. l was raised near Wooster, and I have a warm place in my heart for old Faulkner and your splen- did paper and the good people of that country. We'll, a good many people want to come to Texas. 1 would advise everybody that has a home to stay with it. Texas is a fine country, but 1t can promise more and make less and prom ise less and make more than any country you ever saw. More peo- pie ''live out of paper sack than in any country 1 ever saw; yet l have been here II years and aim to make it my home. Times are hard, crops short and money scare.
 Land has reduced from S75 to $40 per acre. We have plenty of boil weevils. This is the first year they have done damage to amount to anything, but they have hit us good and strong this year. About six acres to the bale Is the average.
 am glad to see so many letters from different parts of the county and hope to see more.

 Court and Criminal Docket Taken
 Up Yesterday.
 The January term of the Faulk ner circuit court convened here Monday, Judge F. D. Fulkerson of Batesville presiding, having temporarily exchanged circuits with Judge Eugene Lanktord of De Vall's Bluff. Prosecuting At torney F. E. Brown of Des Arc, Circuit Clerk A. M. Ledbetter Stenographer w. H. Whyte and Sheriff w. M. Brady are all at their usual posts of duty.
 A little change was made in the usual procedure, the civil docket being taken up for the first two days. This was done upon the order of Judge Lankford made last term, so that the grand jury could have the benefit of the prosecuting attorneys services wbile organiz- ing to begin its investigations. While disposition for the term was made of several other cases, only three cases were tried by jury during the first two days.
 Judge Fulkerson's charge to the grand jury was plain and explicit and he dwelt with especial empha- sis upon the new law prohibiting the sale of cigarettes.
 The most important case of the term, that the state against A. B. Winters, was continued on motion oi the state, and it is thought that the court will easily complete its labors this week. Several cases against the railroad will come up for hearing today and tomorrow.
 The grand jury was impaneled as follows, several of those selected by the jury commissioners being excused for various reasons:
 Miley Beckett, S. C. Chapman, J. H. Lester, H. Robinson, N. C. Martin, P. N. Jamison, G. l.. Rhea, Homer Tyler, A. J. Tarle ton, j. l.. Conner, G. M. Walthall, Belton Setzler, V. R. Williams, J. l.. Lee, Allen Barrett, John D. Townsend. c. M. Walthal was appointed foreman by the court, and the jury selected Belten Setz Ter as clerk. Joe Harrison was appointed special bailiff.
 Only twenty members were sworn in to compose the two panels of the petit jury. The jury is as follows:
 w. 0. Brannon, J. F. Rainey, N. J. Gunter, w. O. Durham, Sam Glenn, Joe Love, J. H. May hew, J. S. Wofford, Almond Sur ratt, A. w. Harrod, A. w. Gib- son, w. M. Harper, Jesse Rey- holds, J. L. George, R. o. Mad dox, M. D. Charles, J. R. Du- priest, F. D. Utley, J. H. Bailey and D. F. Duncan.

 Primary Election for State and
 County Officers.
 Chairman ]. l.. George and Sec retary R. w. Robins on Tuesday issued call to the members of the county Democratic central con- mittee to meet in Conway on Sat urday, Jan. 25. As this is the first meeting of the committee since Ioo6, several matters will be brought before it, the most impor- tant of which will be the decision as to the date for the county pri- maries. The state convention has fixed March 25 as the uniform day for the primary for state officers and this of course will be held on that day.

A Syracuse business man who, be- sides being extremely active and am bilious, has much sense of humor. was taken sick with a slight attack of pneumonia. His physician. aware that 1t would be task to keep his high strung patient in bed, sought to i'm press on him the seriousness of the ailment and the necessity of absolute rest; all of which the sick man lis tened to in a bored manner. Never theless he consented to obey the doc tor
 But this enforced inactivity rankied in him; and each succeeding day found the patient importuning the medical man attendant to allow him to get out to business. Then. dis gusted, he would lie back to cast im- precautions at the inexorabie physl5 clan.
 One morning the physician. after having been up all night on an inn portant case, appeared at his patients house at the usual hour. He had hard ly stuck his haggard face inside the door, however, before the man in the bed gave him quick glance and sat up.
 ''Eh? calculated the patient. Then showing out his hand to grasp the doc tors satchel, he added: Doc, I guess you'd better get into bed here and let me go out with the medicine bag"

CURE AT CITY MISSION.
Awful Case of Scabes-Body a Mass of Sores from Scratching-Her
 Tortures Yield to Cuticura.

"A young woman came to our city mission in most awful condition physi- cally. Our doctor examined her and told us that she had scabies (the itch), incipient paresis, rheumatism. etc., brought on from exposure. Her poor body was mass of sores from scratch ing and she was not able to retain solid food. We worked hard over her for seven weeks but we could see little improve ment. One day I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a bottle of Cuti- cura Resolvent, and we bathed our patient well and gave her full dose of the Resolvent. She slept better that night and the next day l got box of Cuticura Ointment In five weeks this young woman was able to look for a position, and sheis now strong and well.

A cashier in downtown bank With knack for manipulation, Began to manipulate the funds, Hence his chase through all crea-

 'Tis a dinl1y little world, after all! A man with a wife and family of kids, Found his 'fnity in another. He left them all and went with her To this place and the other; They settled down in Mexico, Tn a cot of white adobe. And he fondly thought that in old
 U. S.
 He had left his domestic load; A tourist, idly rambling about, Espied them in their kraal, And he thought. thought thought, AS they brought him back,
 'Tis dinky little world after all. There's several parties in the swim Thatll catch it on the hip; There's going to be some tumbles From the Presidential ship. The Denis and Reb's and Soc's and
