HON. THOS. C. M'RAE FOR
 PRESIDENT OF CONVENTION

Discussion is already being heard about the organization of the consti- tutional convention, at which time a new constitution for the state of Ar kansas will be written by some of the most able men in it's bounds, and it is agreed that the strongest man in the delegation, and one with the ripest experience, should be selected as president. One who is mentioned most prominently in this connection at this time is Hon. Thos. C. McRae of this city, Mir. MsRae being mem- Der of Congress from 1885 to 1901. Since his retirement he has taken an active interest in public matters and has kept in close touch with public questions. He has not, however, been an office seeker, although for many years considered one of the states strongest men for governor. All agree that should Col. McRae con- sent to become candidate for presi- dent of the conventoa, he would be a most formidable contender, and if elected would be power in the de- Alterations of the convention.
 More than ever before in the his tory of state politics the office has sought the man, rather than the man the office. Some of the states strong est men have yielded to the call of the people to become candidates for the office, acting largely from a sense of public duty, since the emolu- ments of the office are too small to pay the expenses of the members. This was the purpose of those who framed the bill to place the per diem lat S4, so low that those who seek of flee only flor what there is in it." would not be inclined to become can didates.

 Ordinance No, 54 passed by the last meeting of the city council, is mighty good thing for the whole city, as the park is the property of the city and will be used during the next few months by practically everybody in the city, and no few strangers. The ordinance prohibits the hitching of animals in the park, prevents the de- facing or removing of property be- longing in the park and prohibits the hunting or killing of birds or ani mals within it's limits, the penalty of which is fine not to exceed $50 If there is any place tha should be pro- tected from public mischief-makers it is our park, and right here we want to commend the members of the Park Association for their untiring efforts towards giving Prescott the beautiful and well-kept park which will in the near future be worthy of our boast. Let us cooperate with the officials in enforcing the above ordi- nance.

COST HAS NOT INCREASED

In these days of increases in the price of everything, it is gratifying to note that the genuine Foley's Honey and Tar sells at the same price as in previous years. This reliable family medicine is considered as necessary as food or clothing by thousands of persons. When one estimates the great loss to the family income sick ness can cause, it is almost impossi- ble to compute the true worth of this splendid household remedy. Foey's Honey and Tar quickly relieves coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough

Old Are!
(BY v. N. PIERCE, M. d.

How many times we hear of compara-
lively young persons passing away when
they should have lived to be 20 or go
years of age. This fatal work is usually
attributed to the kidneys, az, when the
Kidneys degenerate, it causes auto:,n-
passing thru the kidneys, the quicker
will those noble organs be degenerated,
and thelsooner they decay.
It is thus the wisest policy, to prevent
premature old age and promote long Life,
to tighten the work of the kidneys. This
can be done by drinking plenty Of pure
water all day long, and occasionally tax
ing a little Anuric before meals. This
can be obtained at almost any drug store.
Anuric win overcome such conditions as
rheumatism, dropsical swellings, cold ex.
tremities, scalding and burning urine and
sleeplessness due to constant arising from
bed at night.

1.-THE grand old lady of Liberty"
One of the first settlers in this Sec
ton, she has lived through all the
hardships of pioneer days. She has
been the nurse, housekeeper and has
taken the place of doctor in the
homes when doctors and nurses
could not be gotten. To many of
the children she is "Grandma"
PIERCE for she helped them make
their debut into this world and al
ways takes kindly interest in them
afterward. Four times during the
last few years the death angel has
visited the PIERCE home and taken
her husband, two sons and daugh-
ter. These deaths were always pre-
coded by long illness but this noble
woman met these sorrows with a
strength of, character which ought
to inspire every one who knows her.
It surprises us when she is sick but
the wonder should be how she has
kept mentally and physically so
strong and so sweetly optimistic in
her outlook on life. It ia after
knowing such characters as -"Grand-
ma" PIERCE that one is fully con-
WINGED that the names Of all the
heroes and heroines do not appear on
history's page.
