Great (?) was the convention.

and take a few lessons in scissor
grinding and start out for good
easy lively-hood.
Yes Miss Alice Roosevelt mar
ried on the 17th, but what of that,
there are thousands of young coup
les married every year who are
just as worthy as Miss Alice and
Mr. Longworth.
If you want boodlers, drunkards
and adulters in the gubernatorial
chair, vote against John S. Little.
He is honest, clean and honorable
and will tolerate no corruption in
any form.—Morrilton Democrat.
THEMcCRORY BARBERSHOP
I have opened a First Class Shop in the Mitchell House
One Door South of Cook’s Saloon, where I shall he pleased
to see all of my old friends, also make as many new ones
as possible. Kind and courteous treatment to everyone.
Shop open at al! reasonable hours. Give me a trial and be
satisfied. Yours to Please,
WILL CULLUM, PROPRIETOR.
A good garden is about as good
a guarantee of the health of the
family as the farmer can provide.
It is his duty to give his family
this guarantee.
All over this country the cry i3
going up for “deaD politics,” and
deau men in politics. We have at
present in the race for govenojr of 1
Arkansas a man against whose
character, public and private, not
even the shadow of suspicion of 1
uncleanness rests. A man who -
comes before his party and the ■
people of the state pleading for
harmony in the ranks of the party
and for purity in elections; advo
cating better schools and larger
privileges for the working people
of the state. A man in whom
those who know him best have the
the most confidence in him, and
who is at once a gentleman and a
statesman. We have reference to
J. S. Little of, Sebastian county.
If the people of Arkansas really
want a clean, clear-headed broad- ;
minded man in the executive chair
to succeed govenor Davis, now is
their time to secure snch a man by
voting for Judge Little for gover
nor.—Monroe Co. Citizen. ]
Yes sir, now is the time for the '
people to show whether or not
they really want a man of the ,
above character or whether they
would rather choose a man who
has a record too black to appear in
any kind of literature.
A Correction.
In the caption of Mr- J. W- An
derson’s announcement card last
week our “devil” made a devil of
an error. Instead of J. W. Ander
son, for assessor, it should have
been for represenative.
Teachers:
There will be a public examina
tion of teachers held at Augusta,
March 15th, and 16th, to assertain
the professional qualifications of
all who desire to teach.
M. J. Barlow,
County Examiner.
John Sebastian Little.
•John 8. Little will make the
greatest governor the state has
ever had. Mr. Little is a man who
wm utJ »u uuuur tu me uiuctj. v/ne
who will administer state affairs as
they should be. Knowing no class
of men, but working for the good
of the citizens of the state and not
for self greed. He is a Christian
gentleman and will harmonize the
democratic party in this state, will
cater to no faction or special set,
but will rule and govern wisely
and justly. His influence and wis
dom will work for the good of all
persons who love right and justice.
Such men seldom choose politics,
but there are exceptions to all
rules. Mr. Little is a plain man,
combined with wisdom and exalted
ideas. When such men as John S.
Little aspire for the highest office
in the gift of the people of a state
it should be appreciated by giving
him an overwhelming majority on
the 28th day of next March.
When the righteous are in power
the people rejoice. When the
wicked are in power the people
mourn.—Wynne Progress.
Raney-Holder.

Holder and Mr. Hannibal Raney

The Way To Announce.
If yon are wanting to announce
foi an office and don’t know what
to say, might copy the following
from an Alabamian:
“To the people of Edgefield—
The wind blowetli where it listenth
and no man can tell whence it
comes or whither it goeth; but I
am net that kind of a cat. I am a
Ben Tillman cat, and if elected
county commissioner propose to
reform, beautify and adorn, resus
itate, rejuvenate and rehabilitate
Edgewood county from the edge of
the water to the tops of the rocks.
I am a laboring man and haul
wood. If I am not elected I can
haul on. Uould say more, but 1
am a man of few words and full of
trouble.”
The Banquet.
The banquet given last Thurs
day night, at Wherry’s hall by
Company “G” was one of the
most interesting events of its kind
ever witnessed, not only in Mc
Crory but Woodruff county.
To say it was a success, is too
mild a term to express the senti
ments of every one present. Some
two hundred and fifty invitations
were out ana not less than four
hundred people were in attendance,
from first to last.
The hall and tables were most
artistically decorated with the fa
mous colors of “Old Glory” and
other appropriate designs.
About 8:30 p. m. supper, was an
nounced and the tables, with a
seating capacity of some one hun
dred and seventy persons, were at
once occupied. After all had par
taken freely of the, more than
abundant, supper the tables were
removed and the floor made ready
for the dance, which was given un
der the auspices of the Cotton
Plant Cornet Baud.
During the interval between the
feast and the dance, an allowance
of some five minutes time was al
lotted for each of the attending
candidates to make a formal an
nouncement. The opening speech
j es were made by the candidates foi
[state senator, Messrs. Patterson
and Eldridge, after which the can
didates for county officies made
their announcements. Then the
hall was thrown open to the band
for the dance, which lasted until
about three o’clock Friday a. m:
Every one present enjoyed the ev
ening to the limit and all went
away feeling that it was good to
be there.
The Cotton Plant Concert band
deserves much praise for their un
divided attention to the entertain
ment of all. The music furnish
ed bv them was most excellent con
sidering the time in training.
The conduct of the affair, from
start to finish, was of the ap
proved order, and every one pres
ent appeared to have had a most
plOasant evening. :*:*»J*
Among the visitors from” a dis
tance, we note the following:
Messrs. Tom Doss,-Trice,
Sid Johnston, Jim Chaney. Mr.
and Mrs. Bob Spivy, Mr. And Mrs.
