Of him. Tom Campbell we have
never met, but Billie Oldfeld we
have known from boyhood, having
sat on the same bench with him at
school. He has always been honest,
industrious, robust and ambitious.
The start he has gotten up the lad

body else to pause as he passes on
up. E. w. Goodwin is a christian
gentleman who will be attentive to
his post Of duty and apt to vote

loyal to his country and whatever

and is actuated by the impulse of
the moment, which frequently the
people misunderstood. He has
good motives. Judge Allen Gay
plucked the plum again. We have
known Allen since he lived with his
foster-parents, for he was left an Or
phan. His chief recreation consist
ed Of carrying a cross-cut saw back
and forth from home to the woods
and other rough and tumble life,
As long as he is judge the county
is in safe hands. Dallas Paden is
one of the best informed men in the
county. You will hear more from
him later on. James Simpson is a
fine clerk, considering his looks. In
the treasurers race it was Nip and
Tuck in front of the Snowfall that
never melted until after election.
Sheriff Bristow has a fine record and
Henry Clark made the race at the
wrong time. Probably never have
four better men asked for the suff-
rage of the people than were in the

Congratulations to Bill Simpson.
We are glad to learn that he was
nominated for the important Office
Of justice of the peace in grand o.d
Sullivan township. 1t is a much
more important Office than many
people suppose and men of Simr-
sons intelligence and information
can render a distinct service to the
county inthe levying court. 1t is
clear that Bill and us will be to-
gether in the next senatorial race,
for we're for W. A. 0ldfeld to beat
James P. Clarke. Clarke is anoth-
er Brundid8e, a cold, calculating,
selfish, aristocratic politician.
There are about half a dozen
good men running for speaker of
the house in the next legislature,
We have the honor to know two Of
them personally, 0. c. Ludwig of
Little Rock and Clarence P. New
ton of England. Ludwig a few
years ago compiled book of Ark
ansas poetry and gave us copy;
and last June he told US he expect
ed to get out another book of Ark
ansas sketches and poems. He
wooed our natural vanity one day
with this subtle hattery-"Wasson,
| have cut from the Sharp County
Record some Of your verses and
prose compositions and am going to
use them in my next book"
If our letter this waek is not a
good one we certainly have valid
excuse to offer. Fate, circumstance
es, destiny, Or whatever it is that
orders the events of our lives, has
thrown us in close contact with an
ardent and unreasonable Brundid9e
man most of this year, Then we
had to break a young mule last
week that took all the poesy out Of
us. Then on top of that we receiv-
ed leap year proposal from a
young lady in Missouri. George
Jerniean and his young mule al
ready had us on the verge of sui
eide when this shy suggestion OF
matrimony came to haunt the
dreams of our bachelor and button
less life. But Saturday night
brought rest to our feverish brain
and tired muscles and on Sunday
morning we picked up Ebert Hub
bard's magazine, THE Era" and the
first article we read was an eulogy
on the farmer Hubbard used this
within the last ten
years, however, the word farmer as
a term Of disrespect has largely
Done out Of vogue. Only a hobo
now scorns a farmer, and this is
because the farmer wants to set
him to work TO own a piece OF
land and till 1t slIillfully and well
are things for which to be proud
Another article read contained this
quotation the happiest life that
was ever led is always counting and
never we'd" So we think Hubbard
Is a philosopher and our lot is
doubtless cast on the happiest plane
of life, Notwithstanding our uncon-
Genial associate, the untamed mule
or the snares of the mateless maid

AN OLD-TlME PRESCRIPTION

In modern product. From time
immemOrial sage and sulphur have
been used for the hair and scalp. AL
most every one knows of the value
of such combination for darkening
the hair and making it grow. In
olden times the only way to get
hair tonic of this sort was to brew
it in the home fireplace, a method
which was troublesome and not al
ways satisfactory. Nowadays almost
every up-to-date druggist can supply
his patrons with a ready to use
product. skillfully compounded in
perfectly equipped laboratories. Such
"a preparation is Wyeth's Sage and

One DAY, while away, the

CURED in her home, and she immedi-

fate Of her pet which she had left
comfortably sleeping in her room. She
was sure he would be suffocated or
destroyed by the flames before she
could reach him. No other object of
possible destruction was Of serious
concern to her compared with that
one. So she FASTENED home to save

she reached the house she found the
fire had been checked, and asking of
the welfare of her pet. the maid of the
home informed her that he was
at that moment locked safely in a
closet, which precaution was necessary
in order that the firemen might enter

The dog had held the fire ladies at
bay on the lawn until the maid had
rescued him and locked him up.
He had heard the fire apparatus ap.

NISOEld SldT.D
Illinois is dotted with small towns
in each of which one or more small
newspapers are published. They do
not make any claim to being a review
OF the entire world, even though they
do carry feature articles of a general
nature, nor do they boast that their
circulation is something prodigious.
Yet these country newspapers, appear
ing faithfully week after week, record
ing accurately the happenings of the
neighborhood, lending assistance to the
unfortunate, extending sympathy and
consolation to the beTeaved. chron-
ocling with pardonable pride any i'm
provement in the town, and bringing
10 the tireside a record of those appar-
emily trifling happenings that are re-
ally OF more importance to the readers
than the browning of George the Fifth
as emperor OF India, meet demand in
our rural life. The country newspaper
is of inestimable value in maintaining
the moral and financial standards of
the community. II is something in
which the entire neighborhood can feel
a common interest. 1t is deserving of
the steady support not only of the
home folks, but also of those who look
back with cherished memories to their
life in the little town.
