The elections are all over md
Arkansas is still democratic.
The Salem Banner seems to
think the ready prints are the real
thing. _
The congressional election is
over and the country has been
“saved” again.
The democrats have again been
snowed under and there is not
much hope tor victory in 1904.
The White County News thinks
that “Arkansas will have a slate
fair some day.” Hut it present
that “some day” seems to be a
long ways off.
The Spring River News took
the hint tlnown out by The ,Jour
nal and has moved to lJocnhontas.
There’s nothing like being a safe
distance from danger.
The “patent insides” may be
all right, but wo prefer to con
trol our own columns, "'lien if
we don't keep the news matter up
to date we know who to blame.
After pardoning so many blind
tigers and worthless negroes it
seems that Governor Davis’ sym
pathetic natuie has undergone a
change and lie refuses to pardon
a preacher.
It may he true, as the Sharp
County Record says, that “Gro
ver Cleveland is not tainted with
populism,” but if Cleveland's last
administration had lasted two
years longer the eountrv would
Don’t forget the old man
with the fish on his back.
For nearly thirty years he
has been traveling around the
world, and is still traveling,
bringing health and comfort
wherever he goes.
To the consumptive he
brings the strength and flesh
he so much needs.
To all weak and sicklv
children he gives rich and
strengthening food.
To thin and pale persons
he gives new firm flesh and
rich red blood.
Children who first saw the
old man with the fish arc now
grown up and have children
of their own.

sion of pure cod liver oil—a
delightful food and a natural
tonic for children, for old folks
and for all who need flesh and
strength.

have been tainted—and that, too,
with something decidedly worse
Ilian populism.
Thanksgiving day comes on
Thursday, the 27th, and there is at
least one thing to lie thankful for:
Governor Davis cannot appoint
himself to the United Slates sen
ate.

The Spring River News has
moved from Imboden to Pocahon
tas and conics to us as bright and
as newsy as ever. Brother Hodges
is a good newspaper man and
publishes one of the host papers \
in this part of the state.
If the Rev. Mr. Dccner had <lit* j
right sort of a pull, we can't help
hut beli.-ve that Governor Davis’
soft heart could be touched. At
least it has been touched in much
less deserving cases than Dcen-!
cr's. The Newport blind Pgrrs. !
lor instance.
The elder son of Editor Taj lor, j
of the Paragould Soliphone, has
been appointed private secretaiy
to Congressman Macon, of t lit?
First district. '1 lie position pays
$1,200 per year. That's enough
to make the son of a newspaper
man take the “swell head.”
The State Fair Association or
ganized at Little Hock a short
time ago has paid back its capital
pro rata to the sto< kholders and |
abandoned the intention to hold
a fair, lis a shame that Arkan
sas, the richest state in the union
i . , , ,
m natural resources, can l have a
j state fair._
‘•Doc” Mathews, at. one time
editor of the State Republican,
ha> recently issued a small pamph
let entitled “The Ups and Downs
i of a Newspaper Roller.” *'Doe”
is one of the tiest newspaper men
in the state and is a general fav
orite with the paper boys regard
less of polities.
President Roosevelt is coming
south soon and will teceive a;
geuuine Southern welcome. The
Sharp County Record thinks there
will he no occasion for him t<> go I
home with Booker Washington.
Surely the Record wouldn't have
Mr. Roosevelt snub Ins friend
Booker in that manner?
If the publishers of “patent in
sides” would exclude advertising
matter from their ready-prints
the country publisher could better
afford to use them. But, even
then, it -would he no great im
provement to enlarge his paper
and have to patronize the worst
trust in existence to do it. Wo
believe in country publishers con ■
doling their own columns and be
ing independent.
Governor Davis lias issued his
thanksgiving proclamation and
sets aside Thursday, .November
27, as thanksgiving day. The day
should he more generally observ
ed than it is.
We are actually surpr'sed that
the White County News, which is
usually progressive, should he op
posed to Arkansas having a dis
play at the St. Louis world's fair
in B»04. The right sort of a dis
play of the state’s lesources
would vastly betndii the state. In
fact, we don’t see how Arkansas
can afford not to he represented.
The News should examine it's
thinking apparatus and see if it is
on straight.
The esteemed Batesville Bee
seems to think t hat Grover Cleve
land needs an interpreter with a
command of plain, forcible lang
uage. And that’s no joke. Uncle
Grover can talk a week and roll
out words a yard long and then
not say anything. Jf his leeent,
speeches had been boiled down
and spoken in about one tenth as
many words they would have con
veyed a more inteligcnt idea of
what he intended to say.
It requires an immense amount
of perseverance to run a country
newspaper. It’s an up hill road
all the way and the average coun
try publisher is often tempted to
give up the tight and apply for a
job as a section hand. But just
as lie has about made up his mind
to give up the ship, some man
comes in wiili a dollar and sub
scribes or pays up and th>>3 he is
encouraged to hold out another
day, and hope for something bet
ter.
State Baptist Association.
Searcy Nov. 4.—The first annual
General Baptist Association of
Arkansas has closed its meeting
here after being in session since

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 Pianos 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. A lie incon
sistency of prejudice and carping criticism must make way for
well-earned reputatiod and such advancing progress.
We solicit inquriesof all kinds concerning Pianos and Organs
their prices, terms of payment or otherwise. W e will promptly
and satisfactorily serve every requirement.

Death From Hydrophobia.
Pino Bluff, Nov. 3.—Joseph G.
Jones, aged IT years, sou of Mr.
and Mrs. F. G. Jones, died at the
family residence, this city, Sun
day. of hydrophobia, after an af
fliction of that terrible malady
lasting live days. The unfortunate
young man was bitten by a dog a
number of years ago, how long
o he was unable to tell, and the
disease only asserted itself last
week. 1 wo leading physicians of
the city attended the young man,
hut they were unable to success
fully combat the affliction. Dying
for want of water, the sight of it
threw him into spasms, and in that
condition he remained until death
relieved him.
