A DANCE EXPERTS OPINION.

since a standardized version OF the

Political Pot Boiling.

County politics are beginning to boil some and the next campaign promises to be interesting, spirited and hard fought. E P Toney's announcement that he was an avoWei candidate for county Judge brought out the fact that there are four or five very willing as pirants in the county for the office of county judge. At this time this race promises to be one of the warmest yet.
 F.. C.. Hammock, of Dermott. Is also hguring pretty strongly on entering the race for county judge and it is very probable that Judge H E. Cook will be a candidate for reelection. When asked about the matter Judge Cook said it was pretty early to do any an nouncing. but that he would probably be in the race unless something hap pens between now and time for formal announcement.
 w. J. Splawn has announced he will be candidate for treasurer against Abner Gaines again this year, and there will probably be others in the game later on.
 Geo. Elder is rolling up his sleeves to go after the county clerks office again. and at present there seems to be no opposition, but of course there is time for some to develop.
 A second term as circuit clerk seems to be conceded to Gaines Merritt. al

 There seems to be considerable com plaint over town that the business houses do not answer their telephones. This may be true to some extent. but We feel sure that the fault lies mostly in the telephone service. It stands to reason that the business houses are al phones, and are therefore more than willing to answer their calls.

news dispatch from Washington says that the drainage of approximate iy 460 square miles in the Cypress Creek drainage district, including prac- ucally all that part of Desha county south of the Arkansas river, certain portions of Chicot county and about 5000 acres in Drew county, k contem plated by the United States Agrlcul- tural Department
 The proposed drainage system Is out lned in bulletin just issued by the Department. It Is estimated that the land. now subject to overflow, can be reclaimed for 8, 207 493. It k figured that 300 090 acres of rich, bottom land would be benefited at an average cost of $7. 49 an acre Although the engin- eers who made the survey on which the estimates are based declared that 1t would be more economical to carry out the entire improvement at once, the construction of five important ditches at an estimated cost of $l. soc, 900 would would accomplish the most important work The construction of two of these ditehes has been undertaken With the three others proposed they should make possible the diversion of Cypress Creek and thus enable the gap now existing in the Mississippi river levee at the junction of Cypress creek and the Mississippi to be closed
