The Hon. W M. Pishback,
ExGuv. of Ark., has gone to his
reward. Hewasa man of wonder
ful ability and his energy and
zeal knew no bound. In his death
Arkansas has lost a hero.
Circuit Court meets next week.
Look out for the Grand Jury
boys. Some of our semi-annual
hunters had better take their
beds with them for a week’s
stay. For game is abundant in
some the cain-breaks.

The Newspaper and Stamp Act
has been passed over the veto of
our Governor. This act of the le
gislature reminds us of an aceph
alous William Goat wandering
aronnd butting with that which
he has long since lost and can
never again acquire. Gentlemen,
you can’t move Jeff Davis. He has
the throttle in his own hands.
“A new idea for children from
5 to 50 years of age” is a term
used by the St. Louis Post-Dis
patch to advertise its new four
page color part, to be called “The
Home Circle Section.” This wiii
be issued in addition to the Ma
gazine, the Funnyside and other
Features, every other week, com
mencing Sunday, Feb. 15. This i
special section will contain parlor
tricks, games to be played by
the family circle, puzzles and
illusions. It is specially designed
for the entertainment and amuse
ment of children—all children, of
course—“from 5 to 50 years of
age,” as the Post-Dispatch puts
it.
The pistol toter must go. We
are in favor of making the penalty
more severe. While it might not be
well to make the offense a felony,
we would like to see a term of im
prisonment added to the fine and
let it be so that, the imprisonment
is positive andnot with the discre
tion of the jury or'judge.—Des
Arc Guidon. The end in view in
the above is worthy and much
needed, but the means to obtain
that end will never accomplish
the result. Not the severity of the
penalty, but the certainty of it,
that deters persons. We are in
favorof reducing the fine to such
a sum, say ($10.00), that a jury
can and will convict a man. As it
now stands a juror hatches any
kind of an excuse possible to
keep from convicting a man. We
Suy, reduce the penalty and con
vict tbt criminal everytime. Then
“Pistol toters” will be animals
unknown or at least seldom seen.
