CARNIVAL DRAWING
GOOD CROWDS
Campbell Carnival Company 0per-
ating On Shannon Lot Below
the Frisco Depot

The Campbell United Shows are
attracting the attention of the
showgoing people ON the Shannon
lot below the Frisco depot this
week and each night the shows have
been well attended by the people of
Pocahontas. The lack of news
paper advertising was no doubt the
cause of the country people not at
tending, but the town people have
been patronizing the ten shows as
well as the concessions. The shows
arrived here last Sunday on a spec
ial from Poplar Bluff where they
had held forth for a week and on
Monday erected their tents, giving
a show Monday night as well as the
other nights this week so far gone.
They will remain until Saturday
night. The shows are on an aver
age with those seen with a first
class carnival and the colored min
strel seems to be the leading attrac-
ton, showing to packed houses at
every performance
Among the other shows are
Roman Stadium, Big Clip, a Boa

knew not what they we're doing.
Our school is full and to the
overlooking, over a hundred being
in attendance. Miss Myrtle Jack

Is Miss Una Roberts, of Cabot, in
this state. Under such circum-
stances the teachers will need every
assistance IN our power, and let's
see to to it that we fail not in rem
dering our aid to make the school
a great success.

says he is not an expert fisherman.

Our republican brethren finally
have broken into the Randolph
preserves, but they lost the state of
Maine at the same onslaught.
While regret losing out to- our
fellows of the other persuasion, yet
we shall hope for good to come of
it. An INDEPENDENCE of thought
and less machine politics will, no
doubt, be a great leap in the right
direction.
Liberty of speech and plenty of
room to scrap among ourselves is
the democratic gospel. We fee
like scrapping for our principles,
and when machine politics degrade
to the steam roller process whereby
anything, no matter how great a
stencil, must be swallowed IN ST.
leuce, "Gor the good Of the party
it is time to take on new party affili-
ations. The democratic party is
the greatest party that has ever
been born, the highest standards of
government have been contributed
by it to the world, yet among It's
membership will be found machine
politicians as corrupt as the very
devil himself would have. But on
with the dance. Let's swallow our
wrath and rise above little things.
The campaign lie was very
small fellow in this section. In
fact he has about quit coming to
our part of the country, for the rea
son. no doubt, that our people vote
as they blame please on all ques-
tions.
1t seems that the bunch of whis-
kers that Black Mccoy had some
thing to remark anent, has swept
the deck and will conduct the mat
tiers of the county and probate
Office for two years.
Wonder if some of the hard
against-primaries fellows will be
sot against primaries two years
hence

The republicans saw their oppor-
tunity and did not fail to take ad-
vantage of of it. With the field
full of democr and with two Of
the very best men in their party
en- the ticket, the battle, while hot
ly contested, was won by a narrow
margin.

While we would have rejoiced
in the the election of democrats
to all the county Offices, it is great
consolation to know that the two
republicans e'e,ted are among, if
not the best men, the party could
have put in the field.

His Game Won,

In a campaign in Kansas some years
ago. when the tariff was made a d0mi-
nant issue. an old German was run
ming for a county Office in central Kan.
sas. He didn't know enough about the
tariff 10 talk about il two minutes.
More than that. he didn't care much.
for it had nothing whatever TO 90 with
the office he wanted anyway. But the
voters were much excited over the
question and seemed to think that
every candidate should be able 10 dis
cuss the problem from \ 10 lizard
So this German and his campaign
manager invented a successful subter-
fuge When the German got up at the
meetings TO talk he would say: Now.
shentlemen. ! will talk nit you about
der tariff IL is like
Just then his campaign manager
would interrupt: why. John. YOU
have only FIVE minutes to talk. You
cannot do yourself justice in that
length of time on the tariff"
Then | won't talk about dot tariff"
would be Johns inevitable reply. and
he would go on to tell that he wanted
a certain county Office. and so on. His
game won. and he was elected.-Kan-
