It is easier to be generous than
just. Men are sometives bounti
ful who are not honest.
True friendship is very much
like good health; the value of it is
seldom realized til it is lost.
It is a duty every Democrat owes
to himself and his state to go to
the polls on Wednesday. March 25.
and vote for the best men on the
ticket from governor down to con
stable. In this way only can our
affairs be in good hands and our
interests protected.
Whan one is the subject of abuse
by others it is well to ask one's self
what kind of people those others
admire and associate with. Such
a question often proves a consola
tion to the one abused. In fact,
abuse from some quarters may be
considered a tribute to one's char
acter. _
Said a mother of her daughter
notorious for her bad temper and
vicious ways: “She always had her
own way when a child." That ex
plained the whole thing, and it was
no wonder that the girl was willful.
Such an attitude towards any child
is enough to ruin its life. Too many
parents, in order to avoid any tem
porary unpleasantness, never cor
"rect their children or exercise any
control over them, and they live to
repent their folly.

Old papers at the News office
To the People of Union County:
I regret very much that McMa
hon, in his canvass around the
county, is telling the people that he
and J, in our canvass four years
ago, promised the people that if
elected neither of us would ask for
the office for more than two terms,
or words to that effect.
I wish to state emphatically that
this statement of his is absolutely
false and I am surprised that he
would so falsely misrepresent me
in my absence. On the contrary,
it was my intention, if elected, to
try and make the people the best
Circuit Clerk the county ever had
and to hold the office just so long
as the people wanted my services.
There has been no uniformity of
terms adopted in Union county for
its officers; Dr. J. H. Pinson was
not restricted to any particular
number of terms as Treasurer;
neither was George Newton, Col.
J. C. Wright. C. W. Hearin, W. J.
Pinson, W. G. Pendleton, Y. F.
Goodwin and others, for the offices
held by them respectively, but they
were electedjor as many terms as
the people wanted them to hold
office, and there are others who
held office for only one term.
It is an impossibility to accommo
date every man that would like to
hold office in this county; it would
take sixty years according to the
two-term plan to give the office tr
an average of one man to a town
ship. and that is less than one-haif
of one per cent of the present vot
ing population of the county. Then
if it is impossible to pass the office
around and you have a man in your
Circuit Clerk's office who has done
his whole duty, treated the people
right and has given satisfaction and
is asking for only one more term,
could you make a mistake in keep
ing him there for the next two
years? 1 leave it to you to decide
at the polls on the 25th of this
month, and when you have there
expressed your choice, then the
man you select will be satisfactory
to me.
Your humble servant,
B. F. Miles.
(Advt.)
To the Democratic Voters of the Seventh
Congressional District:
Having now about closed up my
campaign. I wish to state to my
many friends over the district that,
notwithstanding the fact that the
corporations are fighting me and
besides many false reports being
put out against me. 1 feel that 1
have won the victory by the largest
majority given a candidate for Con
gress in many years.
In conclusion. 1 wish to thank
the people over the district for
their kind and courteous treatment,
which 1 will never forget.
Assuring my friends that 1 will
always stay by them and thanking
them for their great help in my be
half I am.
Sincerely,
R. S. Warnock.

To the Taxpayers ot Union County:
We, the undersigned citizens of
Garner township, being acquainted
with R. E. Harris, he being born
and reared right here among trS,
feel it our duty to recommend him
to the voters of Union county. His
moral character is above reproach.
He is a Christian gentleman, always
willing to bear his part in anything
that will benefit his community and
his county generally. Further
more. we feel that if he is elected
to the office of Tax Assessor, he
will fill the office with credit to
himself and to the county. He
states to the people that if he is
elected Tax Assessor and there are
any mistakes found on the Asses
sor’s books, made by him. he will
correct the mistakes at his own
expense. We know Mr. Harris to
be a man of his word and you can
rely upon what he says. Mr. Harris
is the first man in Garner township
to ask the people fora county office
in twenty-five years. We do ask
the voters of Union county to give
his claims a fair consideration.

To the Democratic Voters of Union County
I
You have no doubt noticed m\
announcement, but 1 take this
method of calling your attention
again to the fact that I am a candi
date for Circuit and Chancery
Clerk of Union county to succe^c
Mr. B. F. Miles, who is now serving
his second term in that capacity.
In asking for an office I realize
that a man's record and his ability
to act in the capacity of an officer I
are the important considerations
for the electors.
I am a young man. only 28 years i
of age. and have no record as Cir
| cuit and Chancery Clerk, but 1 do
have a record of which 1 feel justly
proud and of which I invite a most
careful investigation. 1 cannot
I boast that any of my forefathers
have served you as congressmen,
! governors, nor state senator: no.
I not one has been elected to a coun
ty office in Union county, Arkan
sas, where ours is the largest and
! one of the pioneer families.
; Through all the trials of the past
we have adhered strictly to the
j Democratic party and for nearly a
century some part of our familv
have been taking part in the elec
tions and helping to uphold the
standards of Democracy.
There are many witnesses in
this county and state who testify
to the fact that our people have
been honest, patriotic and lawabid
ing citizens. True enough, we have
been, and are yet, a family of far
mers—yes. "tillers of the soil"
and I am glad to say that 1 was
! born and reared on a farm and re
j
ceived my early training in the ^
'rural district's of this my native'
county. I am a graduate of the
El Dorado High School and of Ar
kansas College. I made my own 1
support while attending both of
these schools and 1 have been
teaching in this county some during !
the past ten years. 1 have taught
in nine districts in the county and '
in no place have the directors failed
to offer me a second term. 1 have |
tried to do my duty: I have shewn j
an interest in the boys and girls
placed under my charge: 1 have!
striven to build a good name for
myself, and to show that I was in
terested in the educational ad
vancement of my county.
1 have served you faithfully as
County Examiner, to which office
I was appointed three years ago
' and again one year ago. lam ad- i
' hering to a Democratic custom in '
| retiring at the end of my second
i term.
I am not making this race on
any plea of poverty, nor do 1 want
; the office through sympathy, yet. 1
am not a stockholder in any cor
poration.
i nave entered tne race ot my
own accord and have made it at
ny own expense, and 1 do not claim !
that the county is under any obli
gation to me. but I do believe that
my service recommends me to the
people of the county.
Friends and relatives in my home !
townships are goin to support me.
and not an opponent, as some
would have you believe. 1 have
canvassed every township in the i
county and 1 feel confident that 1
will be no ninated, for having done
my duty in the school work will not j
cause my friends to vote against
me. However, if you should see fit
to vote against me and I am de-:
feated. 1 will take it as my part anu
shall continue to stride to be a
man.
1 can conceive of no greater
honor <han serving the people1
among whom 1 was reared and if!
you give me this opportunity of;
serving you it will be appreciated
by me more than 1 can express,,
and the strongest demonstration of
my appreciation will be in making
you an officer worthy of such con
fidence. Yours respectfully, „
fAdvt.) Archie D. Murphy.

The long wet fall has made the seed situation

Tests of both Gorn and Gotton show that most

Planting Poor Seed
