TompkIns' Hotel Opening

Sam Tompkins has remodeled his hotel so much that it might be said that he has rebuilt the interior, making the greatest im- prOvement we ever saw m such a building. The front room has been divided by a lattice partition making a coZy cream parlor be- yond the fountain. A door opens from the cream parlOr into the dining room. The stairway has been moved into the lobby, and q door opens into the dinning room from the lobby. The floors of the four rooms mentioned are covered with new linoleum, new ly painted and paper ed through out. A handsome new fountain has been installed for cold drinks.
 Mr. Tomkins will have an open ing Friday and Saturday. and will serve barbecued veal and pork. You should call and look oyer his new and modernly ar ranged confectionery. lunch room. and hotel.

KEEP YOUR SCHOOL T0STANDARD
Attention School People

It is surprising and exceeding ly unfortunate that some would. be tax dodgers persist in circulat- ing the rumor that the bill re. gently passed by the Legislature relative to 100 per cent assess ment for school purposes will be enforced, and that the attitude pf the Superintendent and other friends of education is only a ruse to foist upon the people an additional tax.
 Much as 1 should like to see some of our needy districts vote upon themselves larger tax levy. and some districts would do so without a dissenting vote, l would not for a moment. resort to misrepresentation to attain that end.
 The opinion of the Attorney General, addressed to the tax assessor, will cause and direct that officer to arrange his books in conformity the demands of the former law. which is still the law governing matters of a sessment. The assessor and the county clerk will disregard the new law by son of t h s opinion. and there will be no machinery for enforcing the new law.
 Remember, if you vote a six mill lew. that is all you will get on the old basis. l sincerely hope that friends of education will not le swept off their feet by tho clamors of those to whom dollars represent every thing worth while. and who care noth- ing r the destiny of our child ren.

Reconsider, Gentlemen.

The City Council met Friday night and the new members took the oath of office except Farris Greer and Jerome Wilson.
 We are sorry that these gentle men refused, because they were elected by the citizens of Ozark because of their especial fitness for the duties of aldermen. They resent, and justly so. the false and damaging accusations made against them before the election by some too enthusiastic support CTS of the Peoples ticket. These men should have some consider ation for the voters who, having known them all their lives, gave them such a good vote. Those of us who are working to stamp out social, religious and political prej- udices, and select officers for fit- ness for office. instead of what factions collar they wear. feel that we have lost much if these men continue to refuse to qualify.

Reply to Esq. J. W. Erwin.

Editor of The Spectator:
 In your issue of last Friday l saw an article by Esq. !. w. Er- { vin purporting to be an explana- ton of the Tennison-F Franklin case. which came to my court on change of venue from his court. l believe he was honest in his attempt to explain what took 1 place in my court, but as he de- pended upon hear say and not up- on facts, his explanation con- fuses the reader rather than en- ilghtens him.
 1! Passing over what took place in his court in Ozark. we will iake up his first extraordinary Ipfoceeding.adopted by the counsel and court. :" He states that error he made in drawing up a warrant ! of arrest charging transporting iliquor" when the affidavit alleged that he had liquor in his posses. l sion could have been remedied Dy allowing the prosecuting at. torney to amend his complaint.
 The prosecuting attorney did amend his complaint and was go, ing into trial on the charge the affidavit alleged when the very
 extraordinary procee q ngs" arose which caused it's being dis. missed. Mr. Benson asked that a constable be appointed to wait on the court. and acting under the l auth ority vested in a iu.tice of i peace by See. l463 of Moses and ], CraW iord's Digest l appointed ] John Law. by mutual agreement, between Rachels and Benson. IL was necessary to appoint a con- stable because Middle township ia led 10 elect Il constable. 1 held that inasmuch as Mir. llarman had contributed no ey to hire two attorneys 70 help prosecute Tennison that he had become Interested m the case" to the eX- tent Co justify me in acting under section above mentioned l was fully convinced that l shOuli act as l did when he told me that he
 must have time to pick a jury, " If the defendant asked for a jury. The extraordinary proceeding" to me. is that Mir. Harman ob. jected to Mir. Law. as Mr. Har- man had sent me to Mir. Law on two occasions with a tender of the deputyship in Middle Town ship, and also went to him per. sonally and offered it to him. MT. Law was known as the most act tive supporter Mir. Harman had in this section. As to the suta. bility of Mir. Law to summon a jury in this case the strongest prohibitionist must concede that he was satisfactory. His record is above question. He has not touched a drop in Is years, and has spent his time and money freely in carrying pr ,hibition speakers over the county Working for the cause He was acceptable to the attorneys on both sides be- cause they knew he would not be guilty of any wrong to either side. yet the Sheriff asked the Prosecuting Attorney to dismis 8 the case.
 l make this statement to clear Esq. Ervin's record in the case.
