TAX COLLECTOR
We have carefully examined the re
ports and settlements of VY. T. Gray,
Tax Collector, carefully checking the
same with books of the County Treas
urer and find that he has accounted
for and turned into the County Trea - -
ury all funds coming into his hands as
such collector, including overplus
of salary: for which sums of money he
lias filed proper treasurer's receipts
with the county clerk.
We find the books and records of
thte county officials neatly kept. We
desire to extend to said officials our
heartiest thanks for their polite and
courteous treatment and valuable
assistance rendered us.

RHOTON WILL MEET DAVIS
i_
Little Rock Prosecutor Says He Will
Prove Charges Against Davis
-- -
Little Rock. Pel). 24.—Prosecuting
Attorney Lewis Rhoton telegraphs
| from Washington where he has gone
i to argue a case in the lT. S. supreme
court, that he will meet Senator JetT
; Davis on the stump at any date agree
: able to the senator and substantiate
I every charge he made in his recent
statement relative to the senator’s
! many misdeeds during his six years’
term as governor Arkanas. Notwith
| standing Senator Davis' denial of rid
ing on free transportation while he was
| governor, Mr. Rhoton says he will
| prove to the satisfaction of everyone
i that Senator Davis received a large
number of mileage books from the
Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt rail
' roads, and used them on all of his
speaking tours of the state while he
was governor. He says he will also
prove that Davis accepted free trans
portation from the Pullman Palace
Car Company repeatedly for himself
and# family. Mr. Rhoton is armed
with documentary evidence, he says,
that will convince and fair-minded
man that Senator Davis is guilty of
the charges he preferred against him,
notwithstanding the senator in his
speeches has stated that Mr. Rhoton
“had lied against him several times
in his recent statement.” This pro
mises to l»e the most interesting feature
of the present campaign, as it is known
that Mr. Rhoton is in possession of
considerable proof against prominent
men whose names have heretofore been
excluded from the boodle investiga
tion.

SENATOR DAVIS IN TOWN
Senator Davis’ speech at the Ratton
Hall Tuesday night was heard by an
audience of about 250 people. The
crowd was very quiet and orderly un
til the senator challenged a Donaghey
man to hold up his hand, which some
one linallv did. The senator then be
gan to heap abuse upon Donaghey
and such a Donaghey demonstration
followed that the senator could not
proceed for some time. The senator
charghed the Donaghey man who held
up his hand with having always been
an anti-Davis man, but the gentleman
denied this and said he had always
been a Davis man. which a large por
tion of the audience knew was a fact.
Donaghey demonstrations and other
interruptions followed in r apid suc
cession until the senator cut his speech
short and quit.
me senator siaieu m ms speevn uiu
a friend at Newport had wired him l>e
fore he grot to Newark not to stop lie re,
that he would lie rotten-egged if he
did. “Who was it, Pete Anderson?"
yelled some one in the crowd and an
other Donaghey demonstration follow
ed.
The senator went to his room at the
Galloway House immediately after
the speaking-, where he had put up for
the niyht, but a freight train came
along about 11 o’clock and the senator
got on it and went to Newport.

The correct test of a Drug
Store is the manner in
which Prescriptions and
Medicines are prepared.
The public has a right to
demand competent, con
scientious and faithful
service in every instance
where life or health is
involved. To meet this
demand has been the con
stant effort of this store.
How well we have suc
ceeded is proven by the
constant increase in our
business. The number of
people who intrust us
with their prescriptions
and other drug wants is
continually increasing.
The public appreciates
our effort to give better
drugs and better service
than any store in town.
