The Journal notices that our old
friend, R. L. Conditt of Tucker
man, who is now serving his sec
ond term as assessor, will be a
■candidate for sheriff of Jackson^
county. Mr. Conditt is a royal
good fellow, and its our notion
that the man who beats him will
have to get up an hustle.
Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton,
of Little Rock, says that when the
Pulaski grand jury meets next
month he will unfold a story of
legislative corruption that will
appall the entire state. Mr.
Rhoton says the developments al
ready unearthed are nothing in
comparison with what he will dis
close before the next grand jury.
The people of the state would’
much rather see this come to pass'
and see some of the boodlers in
stripes than to hear so much talk
about it.

bale of cotton received by Pinej
Bluff this season was sold Friday I

and hail storm passed over this
city about 4:30 o’clock Saturday

A MOST TOUCHING APPEAL
falls short of its desired effect if ad
dressed to a small crowd of interested
listeners. Mr. Business Man, are
you wasting your ammunition on the
small crowd that would trade with
’.ou anyway, or do you want to reach
those who are not particularly inter
ested in your business? If you do,
make your appeal for trade to the
largest and most intelligent
audience in your commun
ity, the readers of this
paper. They have count
less wants. Your ads will j
be read by them, and they
will become your custom
ers. Trv it and see.
TO SCHOOL DIRECTORS
If your district needs desks,
blackboards or school furniture of
any kind, call and get my prices.
I handle the best desk made and
can make prices as low as the
lowest. A. A. Henderson. New

they would continue to squandei
those immense sums every year
just to helii the newpapers?
