it has fallen to the lot of the writer 1
to travel up and down this hroad com- j
monwealth to a considerable extent
and it can truthfully lie said that no
town of equal size has yet been found
that equals ours In resources and op
portunities for growth and advance
ment and development. All we need
Is for our people to work together for
the upbuilding of the town and we
would scion have the most prosperous
and attractive town in the state.
If there ever was a time in the his
tory of the democratic party h>r the
manifestation of loyalty and patriot
ism on the part, of its members, it is
right now. If we are to win a victory
and elect a president two years hence,
we must first elect a House of Repre
sentatives this fall. A democratic
house can and will Investigate every
department of the government. With
all of them honeycombed by graft,
the edges of which only have been
touched by recent exposures and
prosecutions, there will be a revela
tion of rottenness that will astound
the country and create a demand for
a democratic administration to clean
the government workshop. Let s give
Bruce Macon a rousing vote.
lion. R. R. M aeon, of Helena, con
gressman from tlie First Arkansas
District, was mingling and shaking
hands with friends in rown Monday,
and at 2 o’clock in the afternoon ad
dressed a fairly good-si/ed audience at
the courthouse upon the issues of the
day. He also ga\e an occounl of his
stewardship and of what he hoped to
do at future sessions should he he re
turned to congress. His address was
eloquent, earnest and gratifying. His
plain, matter of fact and conscientious
words were heard with much interest
by a constituency which admires him
for what he lias done and is doing in
congress. He'Js the democratic nom
inee and stands for re-election upon
ids merits. There is no doubt atiout
the outcome of the election in No
vember.
Once I was young, but now I am
old. and I have never seen a girl that
was unfaithful to her mother that
ever came to be worjh a one-eyed
button to her husband. It is the law
of God; it isn’t exactly written in the
bible, but it is written large and aw
ful in the many miserable lives of
many misfit homes. I’m speaking for
the boys now. If one of you chaps
come across a girl that with a face
full of roses says to you as she comes
to the door: ”1 can’t go for thirty
minutes yet, for the dishes are not
washed;” you wait for that girl. You
sit right dbwn and wait for her. lie
cause if you don't some other fellow
may come along, and marry her off.
and rigjit there you lose an angel.
Wait for that girl and stick to iter
like a burr to a wooly dog. K. (’.

CIRCUIT COURT.
The Septemiier term, or lietter
known as the fall term of the Circuit
Court of St. Francis county convened
Monday, Judge II. N. Hutton, pre
ssing and Hon. I*. It. Andrews, pros
ecuting attorney, looking after the ]
interests of the state.
The forenoon of Monday was con
sumed in organizing the juries, there
being two panels of twelve men each 1
composing the petit juries, and six
teen grand jurors. Judge Hutton ap
pointed Mr. J. T. Johnson, foreman
of tlie inquisitorial body, Mr. J. I>.
Verser was chosen as clerk. The other j
members of the grand jury as finally I
organized, are:
J. T. Johnson, Foreman.

J. M. Higgins J. D. Verser, CTk
K<i Lewis \V. R. Nail

The petit juries are as follows:

SECOND PANEL.
J. N. Stayton John McGee
J. Y. Waltington II. A. Horton
Henry Hughes D. C. McDaniel
Will Worrall Riley Kendrick
Ray Bonner II. R. Neblett
John Taylor Hal Peevey
Owing to the fact of principal w it
nesses in nearly all cases set for Mon
day and Tuesday, being ill, the court
found itself handicapped to a consid
erable extent and no cases were tried
on those days though quite a lot of
routine work was gotten through
with.
When the court did finally get
started, business was dispatched in
the usual professional manner, and
quite a number of cases and proceed
ings have been disposed of as follows:
CRIMINAL DOCKET.
State vs. John I'avis. murder, nol
pros.
State vs. Zack Gossitt. grand lar
ceny, nol pros.
State vs. Joe Neal and Tom Hall,

Tear Down the Old fences.
A petition is being circulated by the
ladies of Newport requesting the
mayor and city council to pass an or
dinance declaring all fences public
nuisances, and to order property own
ers to tear them down. This action is
requested on the ground that the ab
sence of fences would improve the ap
pearance of the city, and that they
are no longer necessary because of the
enactment of a stock ordinance w hich
prevents the running of stockat large.

The Local Paper.
The city papers are all right if y«>u
want them, but it is tlie local paper
that advertises your business, your
schools, your churches, your numer
ous societies, sympathises with you in
your affliction and rejoices with you
in your prosperity: In short, it is your
local paper that mentions the thou
sand and one little items in which
you are interested during the year,
and which you do not And in the city
papers. It is the home paper that
records your birth, publishes your
marriage and chronicles your death.
To the great journals -t lie forty page
compendiums of daily happenings of
tlie world you are not even a cipher.
To get the least notice from them
you must steal $100,000, commit an
atrocious murder, or have half a
dozen living wives. But your local
paper watches over you with loving
solicitude all the time. If you are sick
it is sorry and hopes that you will
soon be well. It tells when you come
and go: when your house burns down,
or you build a new one: when your
Johnnie has the mumps or your Mary
has the raearles. and how much your
little Peter weighs on arrival. And
when you require the whole street
and Ixith sidewalks to get home from
the lodge, it shuts both eyes and
“mum's tlie word.” Yes. take the
big papers if you are interested in
what is going on in Africa, but if you
want to keep up your own biography
take your home paper. Exchange.

f the States where SCHNAPPS has net yet been offered \
to the trade. '
AND KNOW WHAT YOU ARE CHEWING
SCHNAPPS is like a cup of fine Java coffee, sweetened
V: ?J just enough to bring out its natural, stimulating qualities.
SCHNAPPS pleases all classes of chewers: the rich, be
cause they do not find a chew that realiy pleases them better
J at any price; the poor, because it is more economical than
*f the larger 10c. or 15c. plugs and they get their money's worth
f of the real snappy, stimulating flavor so appreciated by tobacco
lovers. All imitations contain much more sweetening than
SCHNAPPS. They are made that way to hide poor tobacco im
properly cured.
For the man who chews tobacco for tobacco’s sake, there is no chew
like SCHNAPPS.
Sold at 50c. per pound in 5c Strictly 10c. and 15c. plugs.
