AN OLD COOKING STOVE
JustSet Aside After Thirty-eight Years
 of Continuous Service

Mr. and Mrs. W. NJ. Jernigan, of Charlotte, are the owners of cooking stove that is perhaps the oldest in point of service in Arkansas. It was bought from William Shakleford at Jacksonport in 1871, and has just been set aside after thirty-eight years of continuous service.
 It bears the following inscriptions:
 G. F. Filley, St. Louis, Plymouth Rock No. 70, Filley's patent hot air Aue. Pat'd June II, 1853, reissued Feb. 1859, extended June IA, 1867."
 The stove cost S35. For thirty-eight years it has been used for cooking, and many are the good things it has aided in getting ready for the table. Mrs. Jernigan writes: "We sat it in the corner of the kitchen and gave it a nice polishing to make it look new and nice, save the holes burned around the edges by long service" So rest old friend your work is done,
 You have fought the battle, and
 victory won.
 We will think of you as one that's
 blest
 And never more disturb your rest.

 United States Senate

Congressman $. Brundidge, of Searcy, while in Little Rock Monday en route to Washington gave out the following public statement relative to his candidacy for United States sena tor:
 sWhile I deprecate the continual agitation of politics, and the< custom which has recently sprung up in this state of inaugurating campaign for the next election almost before the re- suit of the last election has been de finitely settled, yet, in view of the fact that so many of my friends from different parts of the state have asked me the direct question as to whether or not l would be candidate for the Unites States senate, at tEe Demo- cratic primary election, 1 deem it proper to say now that 1 will be a can didate for this high office, and, at the proper time, expect to make as viger- ous a canvass of the state as I am capable of making in the interest of my candidacy, and in that campaign 1 shall endeavor to discuss national politics and national legislation which directly affect the interests of the peC pie of the state.
