FRIDAY, MAY ‘20, 1904.
Now just watch our Jeff lay
young Harry in the shade!
The backward spring seems to
be causing a good deal of uneasi
uess among the farmers, and some
of them are having to plant their
cotton over.
In Italy hot air is being success
fully used to cure disease. If the
cure were also a prevention, there
w'ould be absolutely no sickness
around in the neighborhood of
Evening Shade.
Bryan and his Commoner are
engaged in a relentless warfare on
Judge Parker, and one is led to
infer from reading his editorials
that Bryan would bolt if Parker
should be nominated.
Florence Davis, a negro girl,
will be valedectorian of a Chicago
High School graduating class. If
that school would now adopt the
dog fennel as its class flower it
would be strictly up-to-date.
We are really sorry the repub-1
licans haven’t got a man to put up !
agaiust Jeff that could make the !
campaign interesting. Little Har-;
ry’s attacks on Jeff will be like a:
flea making war on an elephant.
Admiral Walker is quoted as
saying that the Panama Canal will
cost $200,000,000 to build and will j
require ten years, perhaps more. ;
It will employ 60,000 men during
that time besides the engineers,
machinists and skilled laborers.
Mrs. Noble L. Prentiss, hostess
of the Kansas building at the
World’s Fair, has asked the com
mission to provide quarters for six
Kansas girls whom she wants to
exhibit as prize beauties. The
scheme, however, has met with
opposition, as there are some Kan
sas mothers who object to having
their daughters placed on exhibi
tion like cattle. Other states are
also inclined to protest, on the
ground that Kansas has no monop
oly on feminine beauty.
Since the first of March the
shipment of eggs from Newark
has averaged about £400 a week or
£1,000 a month. This makes the
total for the three months at least
£4,800, which is a pretty snug sum
to be realized from the sale of
eggs. _
The State Republican seems to j
l>e jubilant over the fact that Har- j
ry Meyers had enough instructed
delegates to nominate him for gov
ernor. The democrats are just as
jubilant over this fact, however,
as the republicans, for it is a cer
tain sign of Harry’s defeat in Sep
tember. _
A Northern farmer is said to
have marketed 51,000 pounds of
milk from ten cows during the
past year. Each cow gave nearly
six times her own weight in milk.
The dairy business must be some
thing like the drug business, which
some humorous writer once char
acterized as the only business he
knew of in which the net profits
exceeded the gross receipts.
It is given out from Washington
that Hearst has declared that he
will support the nominee of the
democratic national convention.
This is the only proper course for
a democrat to persue, but there
has been a rumor in the air for
some time that llearst, Bryan and
Weaver were planning a huge
bolt and the formation of a new
party if the connvention did not
nominate a man to suit them.
In the proceedings of the repub
lican state convention we notice
that “by common consent it is
agreed that one of the four dele
gates-at-large to the national con
vention is to be a negro.” It’s no
wonder the republican party is a
mere figure head in Arkansas.
Decent white people don't like to
put themselves on an equality with
the negro, and sit side by side with
him in state and national conven
tions. ____________
Stanley, the great explorer,who
died recently, once made his home
in Washington City. When he
ran away from a poor-house in
Wales and escaped as a cabin boy
to New Orleans, thirteen years old
he called himself .lack Rowlands,
but he had no idea who his father
was, or even his mother, and nev
er knew. Thirty years later, when
he had dragged the reluctant Liv
ingstone to light, arid enriched the
geography of the world by map
ping the sources of the mysterious
Nile, more than a dozen women in
different parts of Great Britain
and America came generously
forward and confessed to giving
him birth.

Burt Arnold left Monday morn
ing to attend a meeting of the
Knights of Pythias at Hot Springs.

day evening at 8 o’clock, after a

Miss Sallie \V. Stockard, who is
preparing a history of Indepen
dence and adjoining counties, is
meeting with fairly good success.
The chancery court adjourned
| Wednesday evening. An adjourn

I ters will be tried in which Judge
| Humphries is disqualified.

Bradford, May 17.—Wm.Pierce

day evening about 6 o’clock, was

each ear. Think all are giving
milk. Any information of all or

Married in The Street.
A rather unique wedding took
place in town Friday. W.G.Neill
and Mrs. Mary .Johnson, who liv'e
out a few miles north-east, came
to town to get married, accompan
ied by a party of friends.
The news leaked out that a
couple of Cupid’s captives were
in the city for the purpose of car
rying out the decree of the little
God of Love and suspicion pointed
to the parties mentioned. The
suspicion proved to be well found
ed and in a short time it became
generally known that the two were
to be made one.
Seeing that they cf>uld not es
cape, the couple decided to have
the ceremony public, and sum
moning the magistrate, were mar
ried standing on the sidewalk in
front of C. M. Edwards’ store,
Squire Thos. Jones performing
the ceremony.
The Journal joins their friends
in extending congratulations, and
hoiHss that their wedded life may
be as happy as its beginning was
unique.

BONE FOOD
Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
rickets if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood
must have blood food and so
on through the list.
Scott’s Emulsion iz the right
treatment for soft oones in
children. Littledoses every day
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and
firmness comes to the soft
heads.
Wrong food caused the
trouble. Right food will cure it.
In thousands of cases Scott’s
Emulsion has proven to be the
right food for soft bones in
childhood.
