MT. M. M. Dickson, for County
 and Probate Clerk.

In to-day's paper appears the announcement of County Clerk Mir. M. M. Dickson, who is seek ing reelection to the office he is now so we'll filling. MT.

He IS a most faithful and efficient, officer, and all persons having business in his office find him courteous and accommodating. He is always ready to serve the public and disclose any informa- tion in connection with the af- fairs of his office to all corners, at all times. Mr. Dickson is we'll and favorably known to the people of Drew county, and has a host of warm friends who will be glad to honor him with their votes and influence in the com ing Primary Election.

 Mir. Wells might have decided the bunch had venison enough for one time, and only shot his gun off to accelerate the speed of the fleeing deer, or, perhaps, his vision is becoming dimmed by the fleeting years; but whatever the cause may have been, the old "bell-weather" got the laugh on him, and the goose-egg.
 We tender our thanks to the party for nice lot of the veni. son.

 While geographical lines are not always controlling factors in elections, nevertheless they do have an effect, and when the man who lives nearest to you possesses the requisite qualified tions, 1t is most natural that you should give him your SUD- port.
 Another thing, which upon the surface, indicates that Me Rae will be the beneficiary of the Governors not running, and that IS that they are both from the same section of the State, from adjoining counties, and in consequence of this fact, their personal friends and most inti- mate acquaintances are natural ly presumed to be of the same people, and whose vote would have been divided among them, had the Governor decided to run, while, now, it is quite prob. able that the practical solid Democratic vote of Southwest Arkansas will be cast for Me Rae. This appears to be the reasonable hypothesis of the sit uation, when we take into con- sideration McRae's frmness of character, his business and pro- fessional qualifications, andhis intimate acqua intance with the great public questions of the State and Nation.

Who Needs IL Worse.

Who needs thorough course of Farm Bookkeeping and Busi- ness Training worse than the farmer? No one. That is just why the Tyler Commercial Col lege gives, in connection with It's course of Bookkeeping and Business Training, without extra charge, a series of lectures Oh sysmtematic Farming and set of books especially adapted to farm accounting. The farmer who at the close of each days work makes complete record of everything done during the day, its cost, etc, is learning to study the details of the business, to watch and observe the little things, and he is compiling val uable information for reference, at the end of the year, he knows just what each crop has cost him where his gain and losses come from, and by his close study and applications, he will the next year lessen the losses and in- crease the gain. The farm needs the trained mind as badly as the store or railroad office. The farmer needs to be able to write good hand, to spell cor rectly, to fignre rapidly and ac- curately, to know how to write deeds, or to know when they are properly written, to write mort gages, notes, contracts, bills of sale, etc. We would advise our young who are farming or who expect to farm to give this matter a careful consideration. We also give a i thorough course in the Chasing and Marking of Cotton, sub- ject of vital importance to our young men. The Tyler Com mercial College has had many a man to take the business course with the sole aim of going back to the farm making the best farmer in the community, and a leader in all progressive move ments.

Recent dispatches from the seat pi war makes the astound- ing announcement that the Rus sians captured a German trench and found 1t occupied by two lone Germans, with machine guns. This, in a measure, ac- counts for the great number oi German soldiers always in evi- dence where the battle wages hottest. They leave their trench es and unassailed points almost destitute of troops, and mass their armies where they are mostly needed. This strategy has led their enemies to believe they had many more men than they have.
 The same tactics have doubt less been adopted on the west ern line where the French and English have been fighting a, gainst German trenches for many months. Whatever else may be said to the discredit of the Germans, 1t must be ac- wledged that they are fight CTS. strategists and diplomats.
