A dispatch fiom Corning says
that twenty two years ago J. E.
Matthews came to that place from
Illinois with only only a few car
penter tools, now he is building a
railroad from Corning to Success,
a distance of sixteen miles, with
his own money, lie will not only
build the mad, but will equip and
operate it. This is a fair sample
of what a man with bruin, brawn
and energy can accomplish in Ark
ansas. _
The state penitentiary boaid
will hold a regular meeting at the
state capitol today and some in
teresting developments are ex
pected. Governor Davis has
threatened to pardon every con
vict in the pen before he will al
low them to be worked on the
Cummings plantation, recently
purchased by the board. The
governor is getting hot and the
board may have to turn him down
and spank him.
The State Republican says,
“No broad minded Southern man
should object to President Roose
velt’s policy respecting the ap
pointment of negroes to office.”
Will the ’steerned Republican
please explain why the President’s
“policy respecting the appoint
ment of negroes” is not carried
out in the North? fl.is associa
tion with the republicans in the
North rendered the negroes of
that section unSt to hold public
positions?

Feed pale girls on S 'ott’s
Emulsion.
We do not need to give all
the reasons why Scott’s
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
r 1: 1 sick blood.
Hie fact that it is the best
preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.
Scott’s Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at its best,
fullest in strength, least in
taste.
Young women in their
“ teens ” are permanently cured
of the peculiar disease < f the j
blood which shows itself in
paleness,weaknessandnervous- I
ness, by regular treatment
with Scott’s Emulsion.
It is a true blood food and
is naturally adapted to the cure
of the blood sickness from
which so many young women
suffer.
We wilt he glad to send !
a sample to any sufferer.

HON. JOHN A. HINKLE
Sketch of the Man Who Will Rep
resent Sixth District in
the State Senate.
Senator John A. Hinkle, of
Batesville, who will represent the
Sixth senatorial district in the
Arkansas general assembly, which
convenes on January 12, 1903, is
widely known throughout the state
and is a man of whom volumes
might be written in regard to his
many sterling qualities.
Born in Izard county 50 years
ago, he has, of his own efforts,
educated himself and fought his
way up in the world, until now, he
occupies a most enviable position in
the hearts of his countrymen.
We shall not attempt to give a
history of his life, which would be
well nigh impossible in a short
newspaper article, but will give a
brief sketch, covering only the
most important points of his ca
reer.
Mr. Hinkle was born December
20, 1*52, in Izard county, Arkan
sas. llis father died, about three
mouths before and John, together
with his brothers and sisters, was
left in the hands of a widowed
mother, lie was raised on a farm
and was educated in the common
schools of the country.
In 1870 he engaged in the mer
cantile business at Melbourne, the
present county seat of Izard coun
ty, where he neheived success.
Desirous of entering a larger field,
where he might have more room
to reach out in business, and rise
- ■
t® ittegMK&c&aab’' -
SENATOR JOHN A. HINKLE
in the world, he removed to Bates -
ville in 1883, where he continued
in business until 1893.
Shortly after his removal to
Bates ville he entered politics, and
in 1883 was elected county treasur
ir. He served one term as treasur
er and in 1894 was appointed post
master under Grover Cleveland.
He served four years in the capaci
ty of postmaster and is remember
'd by the citizens of Batesville as
jne of the most efficient and pains
taking men whoever held the posi
tion.
In 1898 he was nominated for
sheriff by the democratic party,
ifter one of the hardest fought
political battles that ever took place
tn the county, his opponent being
Hon. ('. M. Flinn, of Jamestown,
who was at the time rounding out
i most successful second term a#
sheriff. Mr. Hinkle held the sher
iff's office four years,during which
time he made the county a most
wcellent official. He made more
important captures during his two
terms as sheriff than any man who
ever held the position, notable
among them being the capture of
the noted Rev. R. S. Deener, the
preacher-forger, who is now serv
ing a four year sentence in the
state penitentiary.
Rarly in the campaign before
the democratic primary of last
March he announced as a candidate
for the state senate from this, the
Sixth, senatorial district, composed
of Independence and Stone coun
ties. His opponent for this honor
able and important inisition was
Hon. A. G. Gray, who had pre
viously won honor and distinction
in the legislature, and who is a
politician of no mean ability. Mr.
Hinkle, however, easily won in the
primary over his distinguished op
ponent and at the general Septem
ber election, of the present year,
was elected without opposition.
Mr. Hinkle wears the honor of i
having never been defeated for an
office, which is accounted for by
the fact that he is a man of ability
and lias always treated his constit
uents with the utmost degree of
courtesy and endeavored at all
times to do them as much good
and as little harm as possible.

applications for membership were
acted upon and a lot of other rou
tine business transacted. Owing
to a delay in the arrival of the
goat, the Camp is just now begin
ning to get in working order, but
everything will be moving nicely
in a few weeks. The goat, which
is an unusually large one, did not
seem disposed to like the situation
at first, but after devouring a few
tin cans, some old plow points and
an axe or two he seemed to be do
cile, and as Escort Jackson is a
pretty strong, able-bodied man, it
is expected that he will soon have
the animal so that he can handle
him easily.

ARKANSAS A NORTHERN
Assurance Comes From Head- j
quarters That the Road
Will be Built.
Black Rock, Dec, 9-—The Ark
ansas and Northern road is a cer
tainty. The articles of incorpora
tion were tiled in the secretary of
state’s office, and a charter grant
ed to the incorporators. J. 11.
Myers is president; R. MeCreery,
vice president ; M. D. Wilson ot
Missouri, second vice president;
C. T. Burns, secretary and Elton
1’. Irby, treasuier.
The company is capitalized at
one milli >n dollars, and it is pro
posed to huild a atandand line of
first-class equipment from Poca
hontas through the flourishing
little city of Black Rock, and
Powhattan, following the foot
hills of Black river to Newark,
thence to connect with the Rock
Island at Newport.
The road will cross the Frisco at
Black Rock, connect with the St.
Louis, Memphis and Southeastern
at Pocahontas, cross the Iron
Mountain at Newark, and connect
with the Rock Island at Newport.
It will traverse a rich part of
Arkansas, drawing from the fer
tile Spring liver valley, going
through the entire Black river
vallev and crossing the Strawber
ry river near its mouth.
The line will run within two
miles of the zinc mines of Luw
ionce and Sharp counties, thereby
giving easy transportation to the
mines for their ores, and in all
probability a large smelter will he
built at Black R"ck. It will give
great stimulus to fruit and melon
growing on the west side of Black
river, and the live stock industry
will he a paying source of revenue
within itself. Large tracts of tim
ber will t>e penetrated that here
tofore, for the lack of transpor
tation, have never been touched.
Towns will spring up along the
line, and the Black river valley, I
with its fertile tributaries, the)
- I
Spring, Eleyenpoints and Straw- \
berry rivers, will ho one of the j
most prosperous places in the en-'
tire South.
Mr. Sellers of New York, rep-j
resenting large Eastern capital, is
now at Black Rock looking over j
the route preparatory to putting j
the line through as soon as right
of way can he secured.
The cost of construction will be
veiy light, and the line will he j
built on a water level its entire
lergt li.
The general offices of the com-j
pany will, at present, oe located
at Black Rock.
rirs. Ella Meriwether.
Mrs. Ella Meriwether, wife of
(J. L, Meriwether, died of typhoi d
fever at her home in White River
township, on Monday night Dee
ember 1st 1902. She was confin
ed to her bed tour weeks when
God in his infinite wisdom saw
fit to take her away. She leaves
to mourn her demise a loving
husband, father, mother, four
sisters and six brothers, and a
host of friends.
But wherefore weep?
Her matchless spirit soars,
Beyond where splendid shines the orb
of day;
And weeping angles lead her to
those bowers,
Where endless pleasures virtue’s deeds
repay. A Fkiknd.

Wednesday to attend the election
of officers at the lodge meeting.—
Newport Independent.
W . F. Polk, of Magness, says
he does not want to buy any more
hogs at present. The last he
bought made his pocket book look
like an elephant had stepped on it.
J. T. Brooks has let the contract'
to Bill McGuire, Price Kellett and
11 ills King to build him a hay shed
SO yards long by 40 yards wide.
It is estimated that it will require
210,000 boards to cover it. Mr.
lame will make the boards.
The largest bale of cotton sold
hero this season was bought one
day this week by Krone & Son
from J. M. Magness, It weighed
724 pounds The smallest bale
sold in this market weighed 370
pounds and S C. Beane bought it

The Triumph of Economy as Well
as of Art.
This combination is the cause, and the important cause, of
the wonderful popularity of the Kimball Pianos and Organs.
35 000 per year are not sufficient to supply the demand, as
the Kimball Company is several thousand orders behind in
shipments and is planning further large, additions to “The
Greatest Factory in existence.”
What else could create the prodigious growth which “The
Kimball” has attained, than that the instruments are the acme
of perfection and in the cost to manufacture and to sell are a
triumph of economy not possible to competition. The incon
sistency of prejudice and carping criticism must make way for
well-earned reputatiod and such advancing piogress.
We solicit inquriesof all kinds concerning Pianos and Orgaua
their prices, terms of payment or otherwise. We will promptly
and satisfactorily serve every requirement.
