Annapolis, April 4th.
Being too late last week in get
ting my Annapolis News in the
mail for publication, l shall look
for half a sheet, or as much as
two columns, this time.
There has been some rain of
late, but the roads are getting dry
here. Farming is about all you
can hear from the country nova
day.
Esquire Kitchell made a flying
trip to Flat River and Desloge the
last of the past week and reports
that he enjoyed his trip and
stopped over night with Frank P.
Reese an old-timer of Annapolis.
| found Mr.. Reese and wife in the
restaurant business in Desloge
with lots of customers to wait on,
from the time l got into his place
of business until the clock struck
twelve at midnight-mostly hot
meals, and from three to five at
the table all the time. And when
day begins to peep the same thing
again. The station agent of that
place boards with him, and also
the publisher of the Desloge paper.
Mr.. Reese is a candidate for Justice
of the Peace at Desloge on the
Democratic ticket at the coming
fall election, and the prospect is
that he will be elected to that Of
fee. Ii he was in Iron county he
would sure be a winner. Also saw
Leslie Dunn and family, old-timers
of Annapolis, and he is still on the
old Democratic flag-pole and says
the honey money prosperity
promised the miners failed to
show up in the lead belt. He is
certain a change is needed up
there. The publisher of the
Desloge sam, Mr.. G. E. Abshier,
is quite a nice gentleman and will
do all in his power to bring the
old Democrats into power once
more. 1t is worth it's cost to visit
the lead belt for a week at least.
The Esquire also visited the widow
Emma G. Bryan,a and son, Charley,
who are we'll to do and r fine
people. They are none of VIM. j.
Bryan's folks, but stand up to his
Democracy.
Well, as l told you last week.
there g no warrants up to that
date, but at present Squire Kitchell
has issued warrants for four, but
the constable's time is so needed
at the Holiness meeting now car.
ried on at Des Arc that he can no
take time to come up and serve
them. The parties all but ont
were in town yesterday to pay
their fine and costs.
Quite a lot of people went from
here to Des Arc yesterday to heal
the big gun preach in the Holiness
church-among them A. Reese and
family and D. A. Morley and wife
Democratic candidates for coun-
ty offices are looming up slow
They are certainly scary. No one
to announce yet. j. M. Hawkins
for circuit clerk and J. A. Reyburr
have already expressed themselves
for those two Offices; also Mr.
Roop for probate judge. l hardly
think Mr.. Hawkins and j. A. Rey.
burn will have any opposition by
the Republicans unless they try tc
crawl in like the past school anG
city election.
There were several on the wa
path here yesterday, including
ladies in one instance; but no one
was hurt. Only some tongue
lashing and wind lost.
The wholesale beer house is our

shipped here. Twenty-Five cases

where people like slop.

Sutton's mill on the other side o

, Mrs. Brandt, our landlady at tn
} old Benson Hotel, has added lad
ders to the hotel for fire escapes, il
case fire might break out in tn
