Entered at the post office at Newark,
Ark., as second class mail.
Let’s everybody in this end of
the county get together and push
the movement to build a ’nidge
across White river. The bridge
can easily be built if we take hold
of it in the proper manner.
Let’s pledge ail candidates who
are asking for office in Indepen
dence county to do everything
they can for good roads. Candi
dates for the legislature and for
county judge, especially, should be
made to declare themselves in fav
or of good roads.
Congressman William A. Old
field is now without opposition in
his race for re-election and it is
nothing but right that he should
be elected without a contest. Mr.
Oldfield has made an enviable re
cord in Congress and is now better
able to serve the people than ever
before. The older states of the
East keep a good man in Congress
for years, or until he reaches a
point where a younger man can
be of better service. Just so, it
it must be with us, when we se
cure a man like Oldfield, we had
better keep him while he is able
to render his best service. — Heber
Springs Jacksonian.
Senator T. J. Raney of this place
is making excellent progress in his
race for railroad commissioner. He
is well known in every county in
the district and has many warm
friends working for his success.
Nearly every mail brings encour
aging letters and reports from
various parts of the district. lie
makes friends everywhere he goes
and all indications point to his
election by a good safe majority.
Our people here at home should
lose no opportunity to boost his
candidacy, both at home and
abroad, and when the time comes
to vote we should turn out and
make it unanimous for Raney.

FREE SAMPLES
OF COTTON SEED
State Commissioner of Agriculture
Will Furnish Package of Fine
Seed to any Farmer
_
I have several hundred pack
ages of selected Cotton seed that
I
will be sent to the fanners who
want them. The seed are put up
in one-quart packages, and have
been specially grown for the U. S.
| Government for planting purposes.
These packages of seed are made
available for the use of the farm
ers by Senator James P. Clarke,
who has received them from the
U. S. Agricultural Department.
The department wants the seed
tried out, and each farmer who
tries one of the varieties will be
given enough seed next year to
grow a bale, and thus get enough
seed for future use. Write to me
if you want one of these packages
of seed. The varieties are as fol
lows.
L-one star. rsig Don; sd to iu
bolls to the pound; lint 1 to 11.
Gins 38 to 10 per cent lint.

per cent lint.
Each package contains a pam
phlet describing the characteristics
of the varieties of cotton, and an
extended and detailed treatment
on how to select cotton seed, and
how to improve the crop by seed
selection. Despite the fact that
this article is clothed in language
and term s that are mysterious,
technical and meaningless to a
great many readers, yet if you
have the patience to read it and
break up the big words and high
sounding phrases apparently so
necessary to impress upon the
reader the learning of the “Pro
fessor” who prepared it, you will
be able to get some information
about seed that will be valuable.
It is the wish of Senator Clarke
that these trial packages may be
placed in the hands of those who
will profit by them, and give them
a good trial. If you are interested
in these seed drop me a card and a
package will be mailed to you at
once. John H. Page.
Commissioner of xVgriculture.
