FRIDAY, .JULY 4, 1902.
It’s simply awful to be treated
with silent contempt (?) by such
n consistently righteous sheet as
the Batesvi lie Guard
The esteemed Sharp County Rec
ord is informed that when we say
a thing is fraud we mean it. The
Journal never jumps at conclusions
It is reported that Hon. S.
Brundidge, Jr., who represents
this district in congress, will be a
candidate for United States sena
tor in 1906. If so the contest will
be a three cornered affair with
chances decidedly in favor of Brun
didge. _
The State Republican accuses
the the “insurgent” republicans
of hob-nobing with the .1 ones-Ber
ry democrats in an effort to defeat
Davis for senator. Well, what of
it? Won’t the State Republican
join in the fight to defeat Davis, or
will it flop and support him (
The republican “regulars” have
nominated Harry Myers for gov
ernor, whilo the “insurgents”
nominated Chas. D. Greaves. If
the party vote is divided it will be
a neck and neck race between
these two gentlemen, Br udder
Campbell and the prohibition can
didate, and our dell' will be clear
out o’ sight.
The Arkansas Gazette passed
^ into the hands of the new manage
ment last Tuesday and proposes to
hereafter be a strictly democratic
paper. Heretofore it’s democracy
has at times been rather shallow.
We hope to see the Gazette forge
to the front under the new man
agement, and become one of the
greatest of Southern papers.
The Sharp County Record says
that. Image Arndil has entered the
race for representative is an inde
pendent candidate ami magna/h
mously proffers some advice from
it’s superabundance of wisdom.
The Record is decidedly wrong.
Judge Arnold is a life-long demo
crat, and his democracy has never
been questioned. lie received the
nomination, but was defrauded
out of it by a few dirty, scheming
politicians. He goes before the
people as the rightful democratic

"Dr. Miles' Tain Pills are worth their

cured my wife of chronic headache '
when nothing else would.”
“Dr. Miles’ Pain Pills drive away j
pain as if by magic, i am never with

pills taken on approach of headache j
will prevent it every time.”

will right the wrong done him and
remove the stigma placed upon his
township by the clique who want
to rule or ruin the party.
At the request of Adjutant
General Chats. .Jacobson, of the
Arkansas State Guard, General
H. H. Myers has resigned as judge
advocate general. Myers’ speech
at the republican state convention
in which he used abusive language
toward Governor Davis, who is
commander-in-chief of the state
military organization, brought
forth the request for Myers'
resignation.
During the campaign before the
primary Mr. Matheny made the
boastful remark: “Damn Big Bot
tom, I don't want or expect any
support from there; I can be
elected without it.” But when
the crisis came and he lacked
about 35 votes having the number
necessary to give him the nomina
tion, he didn’t hesitate to concoct
a scheme by which he might de
fraud Judge Arnold out of the re
quired numl*er of Big Botton:
votes to secure for himself tht
nomination.
Bryan’s Commoner is harsh in
it’s denunciation of Hill, as well a?
Cleveland, and says that “we have
more to fear from those who, like
Mr. Hill, indorse Mr. Cleveland's
views, hut conceal their real pur
pose in ambiguous language.’
Nothing is too severe to inflict up
on Cleveland, but The Journal be
lieves Ilill is a good, conservative
democrat, posessed of sound judg
ment and keen political sagacity
and that he would be a good man
for the party to unite on in 1904.
One thing is sure, the party car
never hope to win with Bryan.
And now friend “\V" which un
doubtedly means “Windbag,’ has
unburdened himself of a lot of hot
air through the BatesviUe Bet
anet the political situation. We
I only want to inform Mr. Windbag
■ that, so far as we have been able
to ascertain, there is no animal,
even among the lowest species,
that is ashamed of its offspring,
except a few of those who desire
to lveild the jawbone of an ass in
denouncing Big Bottom township.
They seem to be ashamed of their
offspring, or least they never at
tach their signature to what they
write. The man who writes an
article for publication and is
ashamed to sign his name to it
cannot expect it lo have any
weight with the people. And, by
the way, wonder if Mr. Windbag
lias been imported from Lonoke
county, where he says a like con
dition prevailed, to bring the be
nighted people of Independence
county in out of the rain i
NIC E COMPLIMENT.
O. F. Craig, editor of The New
ark Journal, is fast developing in
to one of the best newspaper men
in the state, and his paper is cer
tainly a credit to the thriving vil
lage in which it is printed.—New
port Ilerald.
Thanks, for such a nice compli
ment, brother. We feel flattered,
and had the above came from some
other source, we would take it for
flattery, but knowing Bro. Ward
as we do, and knowing that lie is
not given to fulsome flattery, we
suppose that no flattery is in
tended. In fact, Bro. Ward has
been in the business so long that
he is a practical newspaper man
and speaks only what he believes
to be true, and does not indulge in
flights of fancy. We would risk
more on his opinion in matters
pertaining to newspaper work and
the printing business than any
other man in Arkansas, therefore
a compliment from his pen is the
more appreciated by the “squirrel
head" who presides over The
Journal. _
“HONEST (0 JOHN. ”
Woe be unto Big Bottom and
those who espouse her cause! The
great and holy mountain, which
presumes to lie known as “Honest
John,” has labored and brought
forth a mouse.
It is hard to tell just what “Hon
est John’' was driving at, or what
I
point lie intended to make, in his
article published in last week's
Batesville Guard, except that he
wanted to throw mud on Big Bot
tom, but didn't know exactly how
to do it.
lie says if Big Bottom has been
so greatly outraged, the question
naturally arises, “How much does
she want?” and then goes on to
enumerate the five Big Bottom

Dark Hair
“ I have used Ayer’a Hair Vigor
for a great many years, and al
though 1 am past eighty years of
age, yet I have not a gray hair in
my head.”
Geo. Yellott, Towson, Md.
We mean all that rich,
dark color your hair used
to have. If it’s gray now,
no matter; for Ayer’s
Hair Vigor always re
stores color to gray hair.
Sometimes it makes the
hair grow very heavy and
long; and it stops falling
of the hair, too.

eluding' Judge Arnold. It is not
a question of how much Big Bot
tom wants, Johnnie, if that simple
question is giving you any unnec
essary worry, but a question of
how many of the honest, straight
forward men of integrity and abil
ity from Big Bottom do the people
of Independence county want to
place in the responsible positions
of honor and trust which they
have to bestow upon the men of
their choice for public officials; and
the fact that Big Bottom is fur
nishing the county more officials
than any other township only
proves that the citizens of the
county have an abiding confidence
in the integrity and ability of Big
Bottom men. You see the point,
Johnnie?
Johnnie makes a disgusting ex
hibition of his ignorance or shows
a to till disregard for the truth i
when he asserts that ‘'no one has j
accused the judges of falsifying)
the returns.” When that board, i
I or committee of three, contrary to
all precedent, delegated to them
selves the authority, went behind
the returns and made a recount of
the vote of this township after the
ballot box had been laying around
the court house for two or three
days, and declared that Matheny
had received more votes than the
judges gave him, if that is not say
ing that the judges falsified the
returns, then it might also be said
that, if we should call “Honest
John" all sorts oi a liar, we would
be complimenting him for truth
fulness.
But we have no patience with a
lUtiiiv
or afraid to openly speak his sen
timents, and as Johnnie prefers to
hide himself behind a nom do
plume, we dismiss his effusion as
unworthy of further comment.
Foul Play Suspected.
Wai ren, June 30.—The body of I
J. A. Temple, was found late
Saturday evening about half a
mile from his home. The appear
ance of the body indicated foul
play, and various rumors are in
circulation. It will be impossible
to arrive at a correct conclusion
until the verdict of the coroner’s
jury is ascertained. Mr. Temple
left his home Lite in the evening
for the purpose of going around
some land he had iu cultivation.
He was riding a mule and carried
with him a Winchester ride. Not
returning at the proper time, a
search was instituted and his dead
body was found about a half mile
from his home. It was in a sit
ting position at the foot of a tree.
An examination showed that he
had been shot in the left side, the
hall ranging upward into the
head.

Arkansas Crop Conditions. ,
For the week ending June 30,
Section Director E. B. ltichnrds )
furnishes the following general r
summary of crop conditions in
Arkansas.
Generally hot, dry Aveather,
with south winds, prevailed dur
ing the forepart of the week.
Heavy general rains began on the
evening of the 27th and continued
intermittently until the close,
swelling streams and inundating
lowlands. These rains were, in
many instances, accompanied by
high Avinds damaged corn some
what by beating down and tang
ling. Cotton continues in gene
rally good condiiion, is laid by in
most sections, and, as a rule, is
blooming and fruiting well ; in
some isolated localities it is in
fested by lice and being damaged
by bollweevil. In those localities
where corn was suffering for the
want of moisture it lias been
greatly benefited by the recent
heavy rains and a full crop is now
assured in almost all sections.
Wheat thrashing is progressing;
while the indications in most sec
tions are favorable for an average
yield, in many instances it will be
below the average. Oat harvest
ing is about completed and
thrashing has begun. Previous
estimates as to the yield are prac
tically confirmed. Garden truck
and pastures were much benefit
ed by the rains. Fruit conditions

CUTTING DIAMONDS.
What a Jeweler Says of Discovery of a
New System.
“I see in some papers that a new
way of cuttingdiamonds has been dis
covered,” says a jeweler. “There are
ilmost as many new ways of cutting
liamonds discovered as systems to
beat the bank at Monte Carlo, and
they are about as successful. As a
natter of fact, diamond cutting has
•een reduced to an exact science. The
wo best-known systems are the bril
iant and rose cuts. To obtain the
rreatest possible brilliance with the
east waste stones are brilliant-cut_
hat is. cut with a fiat top, or‘table,’
is it is called. Rose-cut stones are
ut without the top table and are flat
n back. A bigger diamond can be
•roduced by rose-cutting than by
•rilliant-cutting, but it will not pos
ess half the brilliance of the latter.
?ose diamonds are used largely in in
rusted jewelry.” „__

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 Piauos 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. I he incon
sistency of prejudice and carping criticism must make way for
well-earned repututiod and such advancing progress.
Wc solicit inquries of all kinds concerning l’iauos and Organs
their prices, terms of payment or otherwise. We will promptly
and satisfactorily serve every requirement.
