THE BATESVILLE HEARD. Tl»- Batesville Printing Company. Geo H. Trevathan, Prcaident. A. C. Wilkerson,. Editor. Entered at the Batesville, Ark., Post office as second-class mail matter. One Month ——4 O c One Year $4 80 Where delivery is irregular, please make immediate complaint to the office Phone 26. How about the county fair? When the skirts get thicker you’ll know' it. This is an age of notes, and it may all end in one h of a note. Uneasily lies the head that wears a sombrero.—Malvern Meteor. Easily lies the head that wears a sombrero, we should guess. Between Mexico and a lot of ram pant republican office seekers, the democratic administration has a job on its hand that none but a democratic administration could accomplish. The Mexican war is fought out but never settled on the streets of Bates ville every day. In fact, on the streets is where most of the fighting has been done so far. The lowly dog is faithful to his friend until death. You will make no mistake in getting “down” to the level of the dog in some things.— Batesville Guard. Again, when the dog gets sick he positively refuses to fill up his stom ach on all sorts of things until he is well again. And again, after the dog is well he has too much sense to make himself sick the second time on the thing that made him sick the first time. When you think about it, the human family may get some valuable lessons from the dog.—Sharp County Secord. If Mexico had a reliable govem luent, able to punish wrong-doers and deal with other nations through treaty and capture and turn over for punishment refugees wanted in this or other countries, there would be no American soldiers in Mexico. This country is contending with a lot of bandits, whether in official posi tion or scouting in the bush ready to pounce upon any helpless people. This country has borne with depredations and crime against her citizens com mitted by Mexicans with patience, but after all this country may be forced to rescue the republic from her own rulers, and establish a gov ernment that the poor, misguided masses of Mexicans can be made to realize that there is such a thing as freedom and contentment amidst a world of plenty. ■J Library Tables You don’t buy a library table often; and when vou do, it pays to get a good one. That means not only attractive in design, or pleasing in style or finish, but well made, thoroughly reliable in construction; a table that will give you satisfactory service for years and years, without becoming shaky or loose at the joints. You’ll find a complete line of such tables here; fine assortments to choose from. A. L CROUCH YOUR CREDIT IS GOOD, . — 1 - - $ v -iM ■ KF K,. A / 1 b 4 ** ""X -Xy ;.
