It is so often the case that men
are placed in high office to whom
the people would not have given
a half a dozen votes, for instance
how often is it the case that some
men that have by some means got
a “cinch” on the votes of the peo
ple runs for office and gets it,
immediately he resigns in favor
of some worthless scheeming
politician that we would not elect
to any office in our gift and the
Governor confirms him in the of
I lice and he immediately begins
to lord it over us and we are ex
■ pected to bow down and worship
him and address him as your
honor when we know that he
never did have the least glimer

; ing of the meaning of the term
j then if you or I express the least
feeling against him or his acts
we are jerked up before the
courts to face a charge of con
tempt of his official dignity. Why
bless your soul that man is a dis
grace to the office he contami
nates with his presence so long
as he holds it. Don’t you know
that we the people know full well
what means were used to get him
into the office and don’t you know
that wre will remember him and
his helpers as long as they live?
Also, don’t you know that we are
laboring under the delusion that
we are living under the rule of
“Free Speech” and “Free Press”
and that we have a right to watch
over our servants no matter
what position they may fill.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.
I have recently noticed several
news paper articles with refer
ence to farm labor and have also
heard quite a number of farmers
talk along the same line. The
complaint seems to be that farm
labor is growing scarcer every
year and that it is less reliable

| than it once was; that the wage
1 earner has lost his energy and
has become independent; that
he now just simply works for
fat-meat and sunshine. These
things all taken together makes
the out-look very gloomy.
Now we all know that there
can’t be an effect without a cause
and we believe that the cause for
the present conditions that exist
i in farm labor may be found (we
i only speak our own mind and
i look through our own glasses)
and with the help of reason and
past observation we are driven
to the conclusion that the two
most potent factors in bringing
about the state of affairs is
the credit system and the mort
gage law’, of course we mean the
chattle mortgage.
Now’ wTe have preferred very
grant charges against Mr. Cred
I it and Mr. Mortgage.
t Let us see if wre can sustain
ourselves. Well, the land-lord
' goes to his merchant and says
I will have to hire help this sea
( son to make my crop and will
have to get you to pay him for
me. That will be all right, says
the merchant. Well, the roan is
hired and put to work and after
a time he goes to his employer
| and says “Boss, I need a hat and
‘ i a pair of shoes, a suit of clothes
;! and some tobacco.” “All right”
: says the boss “here is an order
■ to Mr Jones for $10.00. Will
II that answer your present
; | wants?” “Yes, that will be
plenty,” says the hired man and
all goes w’ell again for a time,
but, finally he comes again and
i says, “boss, I need $2.50.” Boss
says, “all right” so he writes
another order, Mr. Jones please
pay John Smith $2.50. The
, order is presented and Mr.
Jones says, “allright, vrhat will
you look at.” Oh says the hired
man I want money. Then the
merchant begins to rub Iris
, hands together and says, “why
my dear sir, let me tell you that
Mr. Brown’s crop has been
badly cultivated and we have had
no rain in four weeks and I have
no idea that Brown will be able
to pay 5o cents on the. dollar
when the crop is sold, no no no.
Money is out of the question
now.” So the hired man takes
the order back and leaves the
store.

GUAYS.
By Our Regular Correspondent
Miss Mag Shelton is home
from a visit in Tennessee.
Miss Mag Winfree lias been
visiting in Grays the past three
weeks.
W. H. Cray made a hying trip
to Wynne in search of a dentist
Wednesday.
Charlie Tyrone of Wivillo has
been helping his uncle Ila Stew
art in the store this week.
Mrs. J. W. Shelton and daugh
ter Miss Ruby have been sick
with colds this week.
Mrs. M. E. Cotney has moved
into her new house and we are
glad once more to welcome her
in our midst.
Mark Witcher son of Mr. and
Mrs. Wiley Weams died Wednes
day at his home on the Bryan
place just north of Grays. He
suffered with pneumonia and
was only ill a few days. The re
mains wTere enterred Friday at
the Good Hope cemetery.
Jim Angelo, “lucky man,”
went to Little ■•Rock and back
this week at the state’s expense.
While over there Jim had to
straighten out a little affair in
which a negro had forged his
name, but he got to ride on the
cars free and he don’t feel hard
toward the negro.
P. H. Y. Burrows put on his
Sunday smile last Tuesday night
and departed for Tenn. Before
leaving Mr. Burrows dropped a
few hints that this trip might
| prove a sequel to numerous other
: visits to the same place in the
course of the last two years.
The skeptical were referred to
the Blackstone house now vacant
but which has been recently
sealed and remodeled. Also to a
large pile of kindling and a cow
lately seen about the premises.
Friday at noon Mr. Burrows re
turned home accompanied by a
lady whom he introduced as
Mrs. Burrows. The wedding
took place Thursday afternoon
at live o’clock at the residence of
the bride’s mother, Mrs. Jenkins
of Collierville, Tenn. This “rep
resentative of the press” was not
there as our invitation was miss
carried some way, so can’t give
any particulars. Still, it is safe
to say the bride looked beautiful,
the groom cool (?) and handsome
and while there are probably
some in Tenn., as well as Ark.,
who only see in this event “their
fondest hopes decay” yet all
join in wishing Mr. and Mrs.
Burrows a happy journey down
the stream of time.
OBITUARY.
Once more the Angel of death
has passed over our little
town and taken from our midst a
ihttle one—Jimmie Lillian Coats,
Voungest daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. W. H. Knowlton, aged nine
, years, nine months and six days.
Jimmie was at Sunday school as
usual Sunday morning and
; though complaining, little was
! thought of it. Sunday afternoon
she went to bed and continued to
grow worse until 2: o’clock
Thursday morning when she
passed away. Only a little while
before she breathed her last,
while probably unconscious of
pain, she sang the song she sang
last Xmas with the other mem
bers of her Sunday school class.
"They shall shine as the Stars,
In that wonderful day,
When the shadows of time,
Quickly vanish away.
When they stand by his side and
The Kins' says ‘welldone
They shall shine in that land.
Where the Lamb is the Sun.”
Jimmie will be missed in the
j public school, the Sunday school
and in our homes. She was al
ways good natured and a favorite
playmate, Still more will she
be missed in the home where
she was the baby and the pet.
The community extends deep
est sympathy to the bereaved
ones.
Something Thst Will Do You Good.
We know of no way in which
we can be of more service to our
readers than to tell them of
something that will be of real
good to them. For tins reason
we want to acqnaint them with
what we consider one of the very
best remedies on the market for
coughs, colds, and that alarming
complaint, croup. We refer to
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
We have used it with such good
results in our family so long that
it has become a household neces
sity. By its prompt use we
haven’t any doubt but that it has
time and again prevented croup.
The testimony is given upon our
own experience, and we suggest
that our readers, especially those
who have small children, always
keep it in their homes as a safe
guard against croup.—Camden
