Names Itis Successor as Judge,
Among the first official acts of
Governor George W. Hays was his
appointment to the juriidiary of the
Thirteenth judicial district of W.
E. Patterson of El Dorado, who is
named to succeed Governor Hays
and serve his unexpired tern .
The appointment was made by the
governor with the understanding
that Judge Patterson be not a can
didate to succeed himself in the
approaching election.
Judge Patterson js a native of
Dallas county and is about 42 years
old. He has been an attorney at
El Dorado for the last eight or ten
years and is well known through
out southern Arkansas.
Already the names of seyerai
candidates for the office have been
announced for the special primary
to be called by the governor, among
them being C. L. Pool of Hampton. ;
N. C. Marsh of El Dorabo and
Judge G. W. Smith of Camden.
The selection by Judge Hays was
made in order that he should not
extend the appointment to one of
the aspirants and thus give him an
advantage over the others, all of
whom are close personal friends of
the governor.
Th^ date for the primary election
will be agreed upon by the Demo
cratic Central Committees of the
district and Governor Hays then
will issue a proclamation calling
the election 30 days thereafter.
So Many People Die of blood poison.
A little scratch on the hand a
splinter, or a small abrasion of the!
skin is often fatal because the,
poisonous germs start the infection.
Thats where Hunt's Lightning Oil
comes in handy as an application
on the abraison, kills all germs
which may have lodged theie,
thereby preventing infection and
death. It pays to keep this remedy
in the home, especially where there
are children. All drug stores in
in 25cts and 50cts bottle.
Whrn Bryan Was a Substitute.
William Jennings Bryan tells a
good story at his own expense of a:
time when he was not as well i
known as he is now.
A widely admired campaign
speaker in Nebraska who has been
billed to make the principal address
at a political gathering at Lincoln,
was obliged, at the last moment,
on account of illness, to send word
that he could not keep the appoint
ment. It chanced that Mr. Bryan
was selected to fill his place.'
Naturally Mr. Bryan felt some
nervousness, knowing that he was
to act as substitute for an older
and much better known speaker,
and apprehension was not lessened
when he heard himself thus an
nounced by the chairman:
“Feller citizens, this here's the
substitute of our gallant and ad
mired leader, unfortunately sick.
1 don’t know what this gent can do,
bnt time was short an’ we had to
take what we could get."
The Mexican Situation.
The trouble in Mexico has de
veloped one fact of importance in
the U. S.. and that is both the Fed
erate and Constitutionalists are firm
believers in Hunt’s Lightning Oil.
the great American remedy for
neuralgia rheumatism, cuts, burns
and other aches and pains. No
wonder, since it makes the pain go
away almost at once. All druggist
sell it in 25c and 50c bottles.
free Scholarships.
Notice is hereby given that Un
ion county is entitled to 55 free
scholarships for her young men
and young women at the State
Agricultural School, Monticello, |
Ark., during the approaching ses-;
sion which opens Sept, 1 7th, 1913.
The magnificent patronage ac- j
corded this institution in the past
coupled with its splendid faculty
and its greatly enlarged accommo
dations is well worth careful con
sideration on tf^ part of the young
people who desire first class ser
vice at minimum cost.
It will afford me pleasure to pre
sent worthy applicants these
scholarships until the above limited
supply shall be exhausted.
Respectfully,
W. M. VanHook County Judge.

Tails Heir ro Estate.
Through a niece in Texas. J. R.
Cole one of the oldest settlers in
Union county who resides between
Huttig and Strong has received
word that he has been advertised tor
for a number of years by parties in ;
Alabama to inform him that he has 1
fallen heir to what is thought to be ■
a large sum of money and a valu
able estate owned by his mother's ■
uncle.
Mr. Cole’s mother died when he
was two weeks old and shortly
afterward his father moved from
Alabama to Morehouse parish
Louisiana. His mother’s uncle!
I
who was well to do at the time!
wanted to adopt and raise him as he
had no heir but his father would |
not hear of it.
Mr. Cole moved from Morehouse
parish th Union county in 1864 or
1865 when he was about 20 years
of age and lost all track of his
mother’s uncle until recently When
his neice in Texas noticed an
advertisement asking his where
abouts and knowing the facts in j
the case corresponded with him.
Mr. Cole., has always worked
hard for a living and we sincerely !
hope that the property left him will j
be sufficient to keep in ease the;
balance of his days. He has four
daughters living as follows: Mrs.
M. L. Phillips, Huttig: Mrs. A. D.
Vestal and Mrs. John Hendricks,
Strong: and Miss Neoma who lives
at home.

Scratching for fun.
We would have great sympathy
for those who have to scratch con
tinually. if there wasn't a remedy
for the trouble, but as Hun'ts Cure
is Guaranteed to cure ®r money
refunded, it would seen that those
who scratch do so just for tno fun
of it. It's a special remedy for
Itch, Eczema, tetter, ringworm etc.
I’o'itn$ Harming Up.
The Uuion county political prt
has commenced to boil and already
there are four candidates for coun
ty clerk, three for circuit clerk and
three for county judge mentioned.
Those for county clerk are Walter
Hudson, A. P. Reynolds, J. J.
Craig and T. C. Rowland: for cir
cuit clerk B. F. Miles, Wm, McRae
and A. D. Murphy: for county judge
W. M. VanHook, J. W. Harmon
and Henry Yocum. T. A. C-ibion
expects to make the race for rep
resentative and Dr. W. J. Pinson
will also be a candidate for reelec
tion. It is hardly probable that
Judge E. O. Mahony. prosecuting
attorney. J. M. Wallace, sheriff and
Finn Craig, treasurer will be oppos
ed as they are serving their first
terms. We have heard of no
avowed candidate for tax collector
but presume the usual number ten
or twelve will make the race.
I he CiK umhtT.
The cucumber is a small, virulent
vegetable which is at this time pre
paring to enter the midst of the
American people and produce a
spirit of unrest.
The cucumber is produced by
the cucumber vine which holde the
Marathon record among the vege
tables. The cucumber vine begins
as two small oval leaves and re
mains quiet for a week after com
ing up. Then it begins to run.
Nothing is more impressive than
to watch a dete; mined cucumber
vine making a dash for the nearest
fence while its worried owner is
trying to herd it back into the gra
den. Life is not worth living to the
cucumber vine except on tne other
side of the fence. It is passionately
fond of travel.
After the cucumber vine has run
until its pursuers are out of breath
it produces large yellow flowers
which in turn produces cucumbers.
The cucumber is no larger than a
peanut to begin with and if taken at
this age and dealt with firmly is
not harmful. But it grows larger
until it becomes as large as an obese
banana and as green and as hard as
an infant watermelon. In this stage
it is sliced up by daring people and
is eaten with vinegar and salt.
The cucumber is not nourishing
and is eaten merely for excitement. I
Sometimes it is cool and soothing!
to the interior, while at other times
it causes its devourer to coil up in
to a hard knot and pass violently
away. However, the cucumber
when captured in its youth and
embalmed in vinegar can be ren
dered harmless and interesting to
the taste. Millions of young cu
cumbers are made into pickles each
year and become the sole nourish
ment of the blithesome school girl.
Many a red-nosed ruin who can
absorb a quart of stimulants a day
has looked upon a blooming senior
ess devouring her eleventh pickle
and has murmured "gosh in tones
of entire awe.
Because of its willingness to be
come a pickle, the cucumber is of
great value to the nation; and be
cause of this latter fact is only too
willing to turn yellow and die before
arriving at the age of discretion.
A cucumber vine is as delicate
as a turkey chick, and expires for
even more frivolous reasons. Be
tween the hug. in its infancy,
and the school girl later on, the cu
cumber is continually passing from
the midst of life to death, and we
should not envy it for its carefree
existence. By George Fitch.
