HONOR ROLL FOR HUTTIG.
These are the People in and Near Huttig Who
Have Bought Third Liberty Loan Bonds.
The following list includes all purchasers up to Wednesday night.
Additional lists will be published each week until the sale closes. If
your name is not in the list call at the First National Bank or on one of
the sales committee and buy a bond or bonds. It is your patriotic duty
and you should not wait to be solicited. Your neighbor who has bought
knows you are able to buy and everybody will know where you stand.
You are either for or against the government. Which? The boys in
the trenches are offering their lives. The least you can do is to loan
the government your money to sustain them.

Ida L. Thompson Dead.
Mrs, Ida L. Thompson of El Do
rado, mother of W. G. and C. A,
Thompson of Huttig, died at St.
Luke’s hospital in Little at 3:15
o’clock on the morning of April 14,
and her remains were laid to rest
in the El Dorado cemetery at 4
o’clock last Monday afternoon,
Rev. W. C. Hilliard and Rev. J. W.
Vantrease officiating.
The deceased was 53 years, 4
months and 2 days of age at the
time of her death and leaves a
husband, one daughter and two
other sons besides those living here
to morn her death. She was a de
vout member of the Methodist

WOMEN MAY PAY POLL TAXES
Patriotic Duty of Arkansas Women to fxer
else the Right of Primary Suffrage.
Among oiher obligations that
haye come to the women of
Arkansas since our entrance into
the great war, that of suffrage is
; the most important. For it is an
obligation, no less than a right and
a privilege, and every woman in the
state is urged by the State Suf
frage Central committee to consid
er it from that standpoint.
There are a few easily under
stood facts that should appeal to
these thousands of new voters in
Arkansas:
According to the ruling of Attor
ney General Arbuckle, women
otherwise qualified may pay their
poll taxes, without penalty, up to
the day of election, to vote in the
primary election of May 28.
Poll taxes for this year may be
.paid without penalty up to July 1.
which will qualify for subsequent
Drimaries, including municipal pri
maries, which usually begin with
Little Rock in December.
It has been held by the attorney
general that Arkansas soldiers out
side the state cannot vote in Ar
kansas elections, as the non-resi
dent voters' act applies only to
electors away from home but inside
the confines of the state. This
will deprive the state of thousands
of voters.
Arkansas is one of the' seven
states where aliens are permitted
to vote—it is expected this will be
remedied by the next legislature, as
it has been done recently by the
Texas legtetetwe.
These two facts ate furtnar
reasons why every woman of Ar
kansas should esteem it her pa
triotic duty to pay her poll tax and
c ist her vote in the ensuing prima
ries, that loyal Americanism may
have a strong and dependable ally
in maintaining the balance of power.
New Teachers Elected.
At the regular meeting of the
school board of Consolidated Dis
trict No. 60 held Monday night the
following teachers were elected for
the 1918-1919 term to commence

Vagrancy Notice.
The attention of the public is
hereby directed to the Vagrancy
Statute, which follows:'
Section 2236 Kirby & Castle's
Digest of the Statutes of Ar
kansas:
"Hereafter any able bodied per
son in this state over the age of
14 years having no regular home,
no visible means of support, no
regular employment and not ac
tively seeking some honest employ
ment, shall be adjudged a vagrant."
This nation is now facing the
greatest crisis of the history of the
world and our national government
has called upon the Council of De
Jgpse of the various counties and
! of tlhufa States to aae
that this law is vigorously enforced.
This is no time and there is no
place for idlers. Our government
and our allies need food stuff and
these food products must be raised
this year. All idlers must go to
work, or all idlers must go to jail;
and in accordance, with the law,
will be placed on the public roads
of the country, or on the streets of
the city.
The public generally is asked and
urged to cooperate with your sher
iff, justice of the peace, mayor,
marshal and constable in informing
said officers and seeing that all
vagrants are driven to work.
Your circuit judge in his instruc
tion to the grand jury, laid special
stress on the Vagrant Statues.
By order of the Executive Com
mittee Council of Defense for
Union County.

torney for the 13th Judicial Circuit

that in the 13th Judicial Circuit of
the State, that this vagrancy law
will be given special attention and
1 urgently request that the various
officers of each county, township
and city of this judicial district
| make a personal investigation of
the conditions in their jurisdiction
and enforce this law according to
both the letter and the spirit.

Jesse J. Craig Announces His
Candidacy.
To the Voters of Union County:
1 announce my candidacy for the
office of County and Probate Clerk
of Union county, subject to ttta
action of the Pemeeratic primary.
Mr. Tatum, the present encum
bent, will also be a candidate. Two
years ago Mr. Tatum opposed me
for a second term, and he cannot
now with good grace plead this as
a reason for his election. Two
years ago Mr. Tatum made a
house to house canvass, pleading
with the people for his election. 1
was an official, and my t;me be
longed to the people, and 1 did not
sacrifice the duties of the office,
but attended to the business of
same.
Two years ago Mr. Tatum had
no record as an official: 1 am
making this race on the claim, that
I am better qualified, a better offic
ial, attended to the duties of the
office more closely add personally.
I was always there to wait on alJ
who had business in the County
Clerk’s office. Efficiency in this
office is vital matter to the peoDle.
The office pays will for the duties
and you are entitled to the most
efficient man.
I will see all the voters possible,
and 1 expect to make appointments
and discuss my record and my op
ponent’s record. I will be glad to
have him meet me and agree to di
vide time.
We were both born and raised
in Union county. So honors are
even on this score. 1 am not of
kin, however, by either blood or
marriage to any office holder in
Union county. We have both held
the office for which we are now
asking the people.
When 1 have made my campaign
and Democracy SDeaks at the bal
lot box, 1 will be satisfied with its
verdict.
I earnestly solicit your support.
Yours truly,
Jesse J. Craig.

Hacking Coughs .wSL
“ For Hacking Coughs that rob you of your sleep till your sys
tem becomes so run down that you are in grave danger of Pneu
monia or Consumption, the kind that almost tear you to pieces,
that make your head ache, your throat sore and inflated, take
i
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
It soothes and heals the inflamed air passages, stops the tick
ling in the throat, and by its tonic effect enables ytm to throw
off the disease. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is quite different
from the ordinary cough medicine, for it not only soothes but
also heals, so that the effected parts are restored to a healthy
condition and the danger of a future attack is removed. I firmly
believe that it is the best and most reliable preparation ever pro
duced for coughs and colds."
