BUILDING BRAINS.
That which is generally conceded l» gsneraliy bo. It has grown into
a maxim that the Kimball Company represents the greatest
of brains employed in the making and marketing of P,a“0* ^d 0^an‘
Tde energy, brains, skill and inventive genius drawn from nil P*rtB of
the worS are employed in the building of Kimball Pianos and Organs, and
the unlimited capital and the unlimited ambition of the company has• ere
ated in the Kimball an exponent of the highest musical art. Th* ac Ye
menis of this company are unsuraassed in the history of art or manu
facture.
If you are an intending purchaser you shoul dJnTesttgate the real
merits of these renown instruments, and in the face of such a record take
no man’s word derogatory to them, remembering that makers of other
instruments, in endeavoring to build up their sales, canuot be expected
to u II the real facts about our iustrumeuts, else they’d he entitled to draw
a salary from us, and you will at all times decide on the Kimball when
the facts are known There is no instrument made today of equal value
with the modern Improvements and valuable patents (about fifty) sold at
an equal price.
Investigate for yourself, as in buying a Plano or Orgau you should
buy one to continue satisfactory lor a lifetime, and mistakes are very
expensive. ()n investigation vou will find it all we s»T. and you can Ue

It is only folly for a man to pay

James A, Hardy, the well known
Batesville liveryman, today an
nounces himself as a candidate
for sheriff of Independence coun
ty, subject to the democratic
primary election. Mr. Hardy is
a Virginian by birth, hut was
transplanted onto Arkansas soil
at such a tender age that he is an
Arkansan by nature if not by
birth. He has never held a coun
;ty office, but has served with
• marked ability as marshal of the
j town of Batesville, and has also
'served as alderman in the city
jcouncil of that place. His integ
Irity is unimpeachable and his
i loyalty to his friends has been
such that his admirers through
out the county are legion.

a beloved brother and a useful
mem tier, his family a kind father
and husband, the church a worthy
and esteemed member and the
state a good citizen.
| Second, That this Lodge ten

Third, That the secretary of

We today announce Walter
Paseoe as a candidate for re-elec
tion as road overseer of Big Bot
tom township. Mr. Pascoe’s
work done on the public roads of
the township is a matter of public
pride, and is of itself sufficient
recommendation of his ability.
Thomas Jones today makes
known his aspiration to serve the
people of Biz Bottom township a
second term as Justice of the
Peace. As he is well known and
has made a clean official record,
any attempted introdncton of Mr.
Jones would be a waste of effort.
The Walnut Kidgo Republican
is “Monarch of all it surveys" at

ocratic paper at that place.
The Journal today contains the
announcement of C. M. Flint), of
Jamestown, as a candidate lor
sheriff of Independence county.
No man in the county is better
known or more public spirited
than Mr. Flinn, He bus been a
hard and faithful wotker for the
democratic party for years and, as
sheriff for four years—from 94

iNot wumn the memory of the
oldest citizen has this part of the
country experienced such weather
as has prevailed for the past few
days. True, it hasn’t been so ex
tremely cold, but more disagree
able weather would be hard to
tind- It has had a ruinous effect
on all kinds of business, as peo
ple who were not almost compell
ed U come to town stayed at home
ami enjoyed the tire rather than
take chances on traveling the
slick, ice covered roads. Timber
has been damaged perceptibly,
especially shade and ornamental
trees. Some of the most beauti
ful shade trees in town have been
almost ruined by the breaking of
groat massive branches, which
were so heavily burdened with ice
as to give way and fall to the
ground. Fruit trees have also
been greatly damaged and some
of the finest orchards around
town have been almost ruined.
Attorney W. K. Beloate, of
Walnut Ridge, announces in this
issue as a candidate for judge of
this, the Third, judicial circuit.
While this announcement comes
in the nature of a sutprise to
many. »*ill all are impressed with
the general tilness of the man for
I the position. Judge Beloate was I
horn in Tennessee and came to
Arkansas with his parents when
three years of age. lie insists
that it was no fault of his that ne,
| was not born in Arkansas. He
graduated in the law school of
Cornell University in 1890 and in
1892 moved to Lawrence county,
where he has since resided and j
practiced his profession, Mr.!
Beloate is a gentleman of com
manding appeal ante, pleasant ad- !
dress, is a successful attorney at
the bar and, should he he so fop. j
tunate ns to be elected, would re
flect credit on the Third judicial
circuit. Up to this time Law-*
rence county has never been lion- !
ored with a position oti the oir- !
cuit bench.
