For Tax Assessor

In this issue of the Star Herald
appears the announcement of Tobe
Chastain, who is seeking the Office
of tax assessor of Randolph county.
Mr.. Chastain is so well known to
the people of the county that an in
PRODUCTION at our hands is not at all
necessary. He has held the Office
of surveyor for something like
twelve years with the exception of
two years., being elected the last
time by merely having his name
placed on the ticket by his friends.
Mr.. Chastain is in the race to win
and asks all his friends to remember
him this time for tax assessor. We
submit his candidacy to the people
and ask that his claims be given due
consideration.
Pocahontas star herald., 1910-01-07
Lemons for Assessor

In this issue of the Star Herald
we announce Oscar A. Lemmons
of Roanoke township a candidate
for tax assessor of Randolph county.
Mr.. Lemmons is one of the most
highly respected citizens of the
county and is in every way qualified
to fill the the office he seeks. He is
running upon his merits as a gentle
man man worthy of the support
of the citizens of our county. He
has never held county Office and
this is his first venture in county
politics. His friends say he is a
sure winner and his opponents will
know before the campaign is over
that he has many warm friends and
followers. The Star Herald is
pleased to recommend such men as
Mr.. Lemmons to fill the county
offices.

Sam Brown for Reflection

Sam Brown, our present and ef-
ficient sheriff and collector, asks us
to state that he is a candidate for
reelection to the Office of sheriff
and collector and to place his for
NAL announcement in the paper this
week. Sam is too well known for
'ds to make any comment as to his
standing as man or as an official.
He has entered upon the second
year of his first term and if there is
a man in the entire county that is
dissatisfied with his administration
we have failed to hear of it. He
discharges his duty as becomes a
public official, is always ready and
willing to place his services when
ever and wherever needed and is
fully alive to the great responsibility
that is resting upon him. We
leave his candidacy for your con.
sideratiOn.

PROMINENT CITIZEN
DIES SUDDENLY
Alfred Skinner. Well Known Citizen,
Answers the Last Call

On Monday of last week, about |
o'clock p. m, Alfred Skinner, a
prominent and well known citizen
of Pocahontas, died very suddenly
of supposed heart failure. He was
enjoying his usual good health and
had Just returned down town from
from his boarding house and had sat
down to talk with some friends in
Pringle's drug store, when he sud-
denly leaned forward and fell over
on a bench, expiring before medi.
cal aid could reach him.
The remains were prepared for
burial the same afternoon and ship
ped to his old home at Washington,
Ohio, for interment, under the di.
rection of the Masonic and Odd.
fellow fraternities, of which orders
he was useful and well beloved
member. His brother, w. H. Skin
ner, and DR.. c. E. SHUTTLE, master
of the Masonic order, accompanied
the remains to Ohio.
Religious services were conducted
there by pastors of the Presbyterian
church, after which the remaies were
taken charge of by the Masonic
fraternity and buried according to
the rites of that order.
Mr.. Skinner was 5s years of age.
He leaves one brother ard five
sisters. He was man of splendid
habits, quiet and inoffensive and
was held in the highest esteem by
all who knew him.

G. G. Davis

G. G. Davis asks us to state that
he is sure in the race for tax asses
sor and that he is very desirous of
winning. Mr.. Davis was in the
race two years ago and polled a
splendid vote, considering the fact
that he was opposing splendid
official for the second term. Few
men in the county could have made
a like showing under the circum-
stances. Green is Randolph
county boy, honest and energetic,
and it is now the height of his am
bition to be elected to the office of
assessor. We ask our friends, all
over the county, to consider the
candidacy Of Mr.. Davis when you
60 to make up your ballot.

of all in the coming election and
we ask that his candidacy be given
careful consideration.

for County Clerk

The Star Herald takes pleasure
in presenting to the voters of Ran
dolph county Mr.. L. r. Pickett,
who is a candidate for the office of
county and probate clerk.
Many of our readers are acquaint.
ed with Mr.. Pickett and to those it
is not necessary for us to commend
him for he Is man who naturally
makes himself known and under
stood, not by making himself con-
spicuOus, but on account of his
frankness and general demeanor.
To those who know him not we wish
to say that he is a gentleman in
every sense the term implies and
qualified for the position he seeks.
He is a splendid hook keeper and a
practical, all-round business man.
For the last twelve or fifteen years
be has made his home in Randolph
county and has labored hard to make
an honest living for himself and
family. If elected to the office he
seeks we feel sure the people of the
county will never regret the choice
they have made. Pickett is a friend
of the people and will always}be at
the service Of his constituents when
callod rnon.

ling worth, sober, honest and in.

under former cleca, Ben F. Spikes,
and is therefore well acquainted with
all the duties which would be incum-
bent upon him should he be elected.

For County Judge

The announcement of W. p.
Brooks, for county and probate
Judge, appears in the, Star Herald
this week. Mr.. Brooks announced
his intention of becoming a candi.
date several months ago, since which
time he has received much encour-
agement from his many friends.
Mr.. Brooks is one of the best citi-
zens of our county, man of
sound judgment and one who be
lieves in giving a square deal to one
and all alike. His record for honesty
and sobriety is not questioned and
it is our opinion that a vote for
w. p. Brooks would not be regret.
ed by any man who desires that the
affairs of the county be placed in
the hands of a man who would do
his duty without fear or favor.
Such a man we believe Mr.. Brooks
to be.

OIdfieId for Congress

In this issue of the Star Herald
we announce Hon. w. A. Oldfeld,
who is candidate for reelection to
congress from this the second CON
gressional district. SO far Mr..
Oldfeld has no opposition and it is
not likely he will have as there are
not many men who desire over.
whelming defeat well enough to 90
up against proposition such as
Oldtield will be at this time. He
has made splendid record in con-
gress-has labored, as he said he
would during the last campaign,
for the very best interests of the
people of his district. No man
can deny the fact the Mr.. Oldfeld
has been a tireless worker during
the time he has been in congress
and his acts in the past are a true
index as to what course he will pur-
sue in the future. The Star Herald is
of the opinion that the people of this
district made no mistake in sending
Bill Oldtield to congress and so we'll
are his public acts approved that
should anyone dare oppose him for
the place in this race, the result
would be at the ratio of not less
than II too.

Loss by Fire

A small tenant house, belonging
to Sallee Bros. and occupied by John
Moses, burned last Thursday. The
house was set on fire by some small
children who were playing with
some matches in one of the rooms.
The building was located near the
handle factory and barn belonging
to the company and it was by very
hard effort on the part of the fire
fighters that the flames did not
spread to these buildings. Nothing
was saved from the building which
burned and there was no insurance
on either the building OF contents.

THE TOWN OF
RAVENDEN SPRINGS
Noted FOR its Health GIVING Waters,
Interest in Education, Good
Morals, Etc.

Most all of our subscribers, we
presume, have heard of Ravenden
Springs, Randolph county's noted
health resort. But as many of YOU
have never been there and have
never had the opportunity to par
take of her hospitality, to drink of
her delicious, refreshing medicinal
waters, TO gaze upon her beautiful
and picturesque natural scenery, to
rest in the quiet seclusion of her
shady dells, far from the vices of
the larger towns, we desire to speak
a word of praise for the enterprising
little town and her peaceful, law
abiding and energetic citizens, our
friends and subscribers.
Only a very few years ago this
town was no more than a small
hamlet, but now it has grown to be
quite bustling little town of about
three hundred inhabitants, full of
push and enterprise, and has become
famous far and near as a health re.
sort to which many people come to
spend the hot months. 1t has one
large hotel containing about fifty
rooms and other boarding houses.
There is one bank three general
stores, one furnishing goods, store,
two grocery stores, two confectlon-
cry and soft drink stands, one drug
store, two blacksmith shops, and
one cotton gin and grist mill and
saw mill. The town is surrounded
by a fairly good farming country
from.w it gets almost the entire
trade within a radius of from ten to
fifteen miles, and is fast becoming
an important trade center.
The town is also noted for its ed
ucatiOnal interests, and is destined
to become one of the leading school
towns of north Arkansas in the not
lar distant future. Three years ago
a high grade normal school was es.
tablished there and had a phenome-
nal growth, but the school building
was burned to the ground on the
night preceding the opening day
of the school this year. Moth
ing daunted, however, by their
great loss the citizens have
set to work to rebuild the school,
and they say that before another
school year comes, much more
modern and better equipped build
ing will occupy the old site. And
when the school is re-established
next year, as we have no doubt it
will be, We bespeak for it a most
liberal patronage, for it can hardly
fail of success by reason of its ideal
location, its pure water and health
full climate.
The town is noted, as well, for
Its moral tone; its churches, its
Sunday schools, It's sociability, its
hospitality. 1t is said that the city
Jail which has been built for more
than three years, has never had a

How II Led to Suit at Law and
Serious Complications.

Mrs Margaret Gatty, one of Brat
tleboro's wittiest society women,
planned and executed joke; now
she Is the defendant in an action at
law, while the society Of that Yer

outcome of the affair
1t all emanated from a bright
idea" conceived by Mrs. Gatty and a
few Of her society friends who had
become firmly convinced that James
III Hooker, attorney and wealthy
clubman, was working altogether too
hard and needed little diversion to
distract him from the righteousness of
so busy a summer.
One day recently, while the young
attorney sat at his desk with papers
piled high on each side and an
amount OF work before him that
promised to keep him In his Office
into the wee small hours Of the night,
the telephone at his elbow rang.
Taking up the receiver Mr. Hooker
listened to the apparently distracted
voice of Mrs Gatty, one of his ac-
quaintances Mrs Gatty appeared
to be greatly overweight, and ex-
planned that dreadful attempt had
just been made to swindle her out OF
a sum of money. that the alleged
swindler had LETT n handbag behind,
and would Mr.. Hooker come M inn
medlately and open the bag and dis
cover, If possible, the identity OF the
guilty person.
The young lawyer. hastily clanped
on his hat and FASTENED up to Mrs,
Gatty's fashionable residence
He was ushered into the drawing
room, and the bag was shown him
Without further parley the lawyer
opened the bag and extracted a nice
yellow lemon. Then the light broke
upon the attorney and amid the tit
terings which emanated from differ
ent recesses Of the drawing room,
he bowed and withdrew, after declar-
