make the canvass backwards" this
year. No political talk has yet
been stirred up in this brush. Half
of US do not know who is who or
what he is running for. Unless
some excitement is raised, and the
days are pretty for work, the
candidates are liable to speak to
themselves this year. Perhaps
they had better pass the word
around that there will be at least
two fights at each speaking place
That will bring a crowd, and insure
meat and bread for the candidate

The readers Of this paper will be
glad,to,learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces OF the
system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and Civ
ing the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting ma
ture in doing its work. The propri-
etors have so much faith in its cur
ative powers that they offer One

We have noticed that in playing

the pig is frequently embarrassed
to find a place to wallow in and the

Some ten years ago Jeff told us
of Dang in Little Rock and our be-
loved Donaghey says it is still there.
We have never been pardoned by
either of these. gentlemen, but we
have voted for both Of them, and
all we can say for them is, hurrah
for Jeff and his big preparations
and hurrah for Donaghey and his
high taxations and long legislatures.
If either of these gentlemen ever
did Arkansas a nickel's worth OF
good, cite us" and we will vote for
them again.
We did not get to hear the in
vincible Jeff Davis speak, but was
at one of his appointments soon af-
ter he left, and the effects were still
apparent. We met one fellow who
was chuck full Of wisdom. He said
Jeff struck some hard blows, but
struck at random, and that one OF
his stray shots struck some Of the
republicans, who would vote in the
democratic primary, right square on

the breath out of EN-, while others

we concluded that democratic

weakened republican for his vote

We have had the pleasure of as
sociating with Ex-Judge Edmund
Carpenter very much lately. He is
in much better health this winter
than usual and, considering the
storm of more than 70 winters that
have passed over his head, he bears
his years gracefully. He is the last
of our pioneer citizens, his old as
sociates having gone to other lands
or to their final reward. Like many
others of his age he has many in
terestins remembrances to relate,
While county judge Mr.. Carpenter
cast the deciding vote for the build
ing of the present court house, and
although the action was for the
best, as an unprejudiced mind will
admit, defeat was stamped on him
by that vote. Many years after
the people often rue from opinions
they once thought true, and Judge
Carpenter today has the pleasure Of
knowing that the regime of his
judeeship was not in vain. And
now while we extol the lives and
actions Of our best men, why not
