FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1904.
The man with a flock of hens is
the most fortunate man we know
of just at this time.
A call has been issued for a
meeting of the new democratic
county central committee at Bates
ville tomorrow.
The egg market continues to
hold its own at 12 cents a dozen in
Newark, and 3,450 dozen, or $414
worth, have been shipped out this
week. ______________
It is plainly evident that the
Fool Killer missed the opportuni
ty of his life by not attending
those “democratic” conventions
at Batesville last Monday.
Our friend, Coger, of the Sharp
County Record, needn’t worry
about Old Satan putting us in the
same room with him. Coger will
have to be chained out a safe dis
tance from the furnace for several
weeks in order to keep the escap
ing gas from exploding and wreck
ing the whole institution.
The State Republican is boost
ing H. L. Remmel for vice-presi
dent. But as Remmel is the chief
high priest in the State Republican
sanctum, we are not surprised at
that. The only thing that surprises
us is that it didn’t nominate him
for president. Might as well do
the thing up right, brother, while
you are at it.
There is no disputing the fact
that Governor Davis is the demo
cratic nominee for governor of
this great, but somewhat abashed, |
commonwealth of ours, and we
can, therefore, see absolutely no j
reason for the governor’s friends
in this county making a long eared
donkey of themselves. If the re
sult of the state convention hinged
upon the action of Independence
county, then there might be some
reason in trying to throw the coun
ty’s delegates in line for Davis.
But as that is not the case, it looks
like—well, like a piece of dam
phoolishness, to be plain about it.
Someone has figured out that
there are 27 anti-Davis and eight
pro-Davis members of tho next
senate. The anti-Davis men are
also said to dominate the house.
When you go into a printing
office, get up as close to the type
setter as you can, rubber over and
try to read the copy and ask ques
tions. A printer doesn’t mind be
ing bored, you know, and has
plenty of time to quit his work to
answer questions and read his copy
to you.
The Heber Jacksonian intimates
that it will not support Governor
Davis. Come, Bro. Reed, straight
en up your face and swallow your
medicine like a man. What if it
is bitter? It's better than lining
up with that motley crowd of
“regulars,” “lillie whites,” “in
surgents” and “niggers.”
Why should the democrats of
Independence county make a mon
key themselves by splitting up
into factions and indulging in acri
monious abuses of each other?
There is absolutely no reason for
it, and to be perfectly candid about
the matter, its just simply caused
by the lack of good horse sense.
Governor Davis is the nominee
of the party for governor, and as
for The Journal we are for him
from the sole of our golden slip
pers to the tip end of the feather
that adorns our glittering crown,
—we are that much a democrat.
But we see no reason for one to
make a donkey of himself over as
great a thing, even, as that. There
is reason in all things, you know,
except a grub worm, and it seems
that some of our democratic breth
ren are even trying to wrest the
poor grub worm’s reputation
from it.

County Convention Split.
Batesville, May 2.—The Demo
cratic county convention met to
day at 10 a. m. and resulted in a
big split-up. The chairman of the
county central committee, M. M.
Moore, was a little tardy and the
Jeff Davis men present proceeded
to rush the meeting into an organ
ization, against the loud protests
of a few of the Wood men pres
ent, by electing Hen Desha chair
man and Joe Martin secretary.
Most of the Wood men withdrew
from the meeting, but in a little
while Malcolm Moore called the
meeting to order and Col. James
Rutherford made a strong plea for
harmony between the two forces,
but it was of no avail and two sep
arate meetings were held, one in
structing for Wood for governor
and one for Davis.
Two sets of delegates to the
state convention and two sets of
county central committeemen were
elected.
The regularly organized conven

5 cents
Eight cents a pound is
what a young woman paid for
twelve pounds of flesh.
She was thin and weak and
paid one dollar for a bottle of
Scott’s Emulsion, and by tak
ing regular doses had gained
twelve pounds in weight before
the bottle was finished.
Eight cents a pound is
cheap for such valuable ma
terial. Some pay more, some
less, some get nothing for
their money. You get your
money’s worth when you buy
Scott's Emulsion.
We will send you a little
free.

We will not attempt to quote you prices here, for if we JJ
did they would be so much cheaper than the prices of J
so many other merchants that many would say that j
we made it up on something else, and that we are J
For Less Than Costlf
Selling
And they would be telling you the truth, so far as our £
m
selling for less than their cost is concerned!
We Buy Cheaper Than They Do,
THAT’S WHY WE CAN SELL CHEAPER.
But we would give a man a bill of goods before we would
lose on one article and then steal from him on an
other. That is not our style of doing business.
