If you're really out to win.
There's no easy path to glory,

Is no simple parlor game.
But its prizes call for fighting,

For a rugged disposition,
And a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
You must take a blow or give one
You must risk and you must lose,
And expect that in the struggle
You will suffer from a bruise.
But you mustn't vince or falter,
If a fight you once begin,
Be a man and face the battle
That's the only way to win.

on all the best business corners.
These options are to run until Nov.

waiting until after election to close
deal. These moneyed people are
thus endeavoring to get the best
parts of Monroe City and doubtless
other cities as we'll and thus help
weave the chain of landIordism
around the necks of the people. Re-
ports are that leaders in the single

that the lands would all be forced

DAVIS AND MARBLE STAR
RED FOR NORMAL.

The Arkansas State Normal foot
ball team won the first game of their
schedule from the Arkansas "Medics"
on the Normal field yesterday after
noon by a score of IL to 7. The game
was hotly contested throughout.
Normal's first touchdown was made
in the first three minutes of play.
Captain Webb of the Normal won the
toss and defended the north goal.
Medics kicked to Normal's 30-yard
line. On the first down, Davis ran
around right end for 60 yards, only
to be downed by Wilson of the Med
les. With the ball on the Medics' 10
yard line, Normal made a series of
line bucks and Covington carried the
ball over. Normal failed to kick goal
both times. The Medics touchdown
came in the last quarter, with but
three minutes to play. pat" Wright,
a graduate of Bezdek's school, went
in the game at right guard, and on a

went over for a touchdown. Wilson

w. N. HarreIl & CO.

fer you to the report of County Clerk
Bailey. 1t will be seen that the pres
ent Indebtedness of this county is APP
proximately $4,000. When came in
to office, six years ago, the indebted
ness of the county was $44 900, so
that it will be seen that during my
administration the debt has been in
creased about $4,000, OF about $1,000
per year for each year | have been
your judge. 1t is very gratifying to
me, however, that l am leaving to the
county permanent improvements in
stalled by me that are worth almost,
if not quite, as much as the entire
present debt of the county. By means
of the steel bridges erected by me and
other works of lasting nature, a
continual drain on our county treas
ury for repairs has been stopped.
With the county now we'll equipped
with good bridges and other perma-
nent improvements, we are now in a
position to materially reduce our in
debtedness. At the beginning of my
term | was confronted with the ques-
ton as to whether | should simply try
to make a record for myself in the
way of reducing the Indebtedness of
the county and raising the price of
scrip, or whether | should give the
people the steel bridges and other per-
manent improvements they needed so
badly. | shall never regret that
have made these mprovements-even
if by so doing | was prevented from
making record for myself in the
way of reducing the county debt.
believe that in doing so | acted for
the best interest of the whole county
and that the future will prove that
these improvements were a good and
paying investment for the people An
other fact that has tended to prevent
the reduction of the county debt is
the fact that the expenses of the
county, owing to an increase in popu-
lation, are getting higher each year,
and there are more calls each year,
on the county treasury. For in
demonstration, during the past year,
is an item of expense that other coun-
! ty judges have not had to bear. An
other new item of expense is the cost
of keeping patients at the state tu-
berculosis sanitarium. Our county
now has three patients there, and un-
der the law we are required to pay
$50 per week for their support and
treatment. In my successor, Judge
Holt, the people will have a careful
and energetic business man to man
age their county affairs, and | conf
IDENTIFY look for splendid results in the
matter of county finances during his
term of office.
The people of Faulkner county are
alert, wide-a-wake and progressive
They are demanding more and more
improvements. They must and they
will have them. There should be no
backward steps in any part of the
county affairs. Our citizenship de-
serves the very best in the way of
public service and public improve
ments, and with up-to-date laws and
proper management, this service and
these improvements can be had with
out increased taxation.
| recommend that there be appro-
priated for all purposes the sum and
amount set forth in the clerks report
filed here in court, and submit the
same to this court to be acted upon.

County Judge.
