Col. Oscar L. Miles of Fort
Smith is quoted as saying that at
the next session of the legislature
he will endeavor to have a bill
gassed appropriating a certain
Mini of money for an annual state
fair, lie does not care where the
fair is held, he says, but thinks
something of the kind should be
given each year to encourage the
farmers and stock raisers. A state ]
fair would be a good thing for
Arkansas, and The Journal would
like to see the suggestion carried
ioto effect.
QUIT L'S COLD.
The Monte Ne Herald seems to
have cut The Journal off its ex
change list since we called it down
ao hard a short time ago. We are
a little disappointed that the Her
ald should see tit to quit the game
aosoon we have some other things
to say about its brilliant (?) editor
that might add some to the gaiety
of the situation.
It will be remembered that the
Herald has been saying all sorts of
naughty things about our good
friend Bob Rogers, and among j
other things it charges him with
being a very immoral man. Wh.v
our brother Webb says it actually
causes a blush of shame to cross
i his manly (0 brow when he thinks
I of what the dire consequensemight
' 1)0 if Rogers should happen to be
elected governor. From reading
the Herald one would think its
editor was a stray angel who had
temporarily taken up its abode in
Arkansas, but below we give our
readers a paralell statement con
cerning the two men.

HARMONY AT LAST
The candidates for the various
county offices met at Batesvilie 1
Monday in pursuance to a call is- ,
sued some time ago, to arrange
for a joint canvass of the county.
The two contending county cen
tral committees being unable to
agree as to which was the right
ful committtee, or even upon a
compromise of any sort, the mat *
ter was taken up by the candidates, j
as suggested by The Journal some
time ago. A secret ballot was
taken on the question of which '
committee shall be recognized as 1
the rightful committee, and the
vote stood 21 for the committee of j
which W. S. Wright is chairman
and 7 against The vote was then
made unanimous in favor of the
Wright committee, and it is re
ported that the Neill committee
has agreed to abide the result and
j withdraw further attempts to hold
a primary.
The Journal is glad the matter
| has finally been amicably settled
and we believe that the Democrats
of the county will join us in endors
ing the action taken.
Now let's lay down our little
* partisan prejudices, and let har
mony be the watchword.
