The agricultural interests of
Ark msus have not farotl us well
as some others before our state
legislatures. Othoi interests go
down to Little Rook and clamor
>ui wiittt nicy want, l tie tanners
stay at home and trust to luck.
Therefoio they get a few crumbs
that drop from the legislative
banquet board while others are
enjoying the feast, Farmers can
have things nearer their way if
they will. They are in the ma
jority, and their occupation is of
more commercial importance than
all others combined. If they vote
only for the right kind ol men
lor legislative positions, they will
got just consideration.
The Sharp County Record
thinks it reasonable to suppose
that Col. Waterman of the New
por News, will Hop 21 times in
days. Will somebody please
keep tab?
If tho candidates for governor
would make the raoe on their mer
its instead of the trumpted-up de
merits of their opponents there
wouldh't be so much of “that
tired feeling'’ among the voters
Some accuse Davis with being
a “bluffer, bulldozer and pistol
toler,” while others accuse Rec
tor with being a “pistol toter,
bulldozer and bluffer.” Then,
others say Rector is a “crentleuuut
and nice man,” while some say
Davis is a a “white man and a
gentleman.” It’s up to the people
and is simply a case of you pays
your money and you takes your
choice.
a man who can extract apology
from criticism could draw pure
“co’n ju’ec” from brick bats.

In i*s proper place will be
found the announcement ot Hoik
H. L. Ponder, of Walnut Ridge,
as a candidate for prosecuting
attorney for the Third .Judicial
Circuit.
Mr. Ponder is a native of Law
tcnce County and a graduate of
Arkansas College. He was ad
mitted to the bar in 1802, and
since being admitted to practice
law has sue cede 1 in building up
a splendid business and has been
engaged, a« the record of Law
rence oountv will show, in the
most important eases tried in
that county.
In 1807, when the political com
plexion of Lawrence county was
[anything tint certain. Air. t'omter
| accepted the nomination for rep
j resentative on the democratic tick
lot and took up the tight for the ;
principles of the democracy |
agiinst the united efforts of j
Populists and republicans, and
he lashed the enemy with such
fury that Lawrence county was
again s.vung into tne democratic
column and Mr. Ponder elected
by a larg majority, 'For the sec
ond term he was elected without
opposition. During Mr. Ponder's
two terms in the legislature he
made himself recognized as u*>o
of vis strongest membesr, and,
as his record will show, was always
vigilant in looking after the inter
ests of his people.
Mr. Ponder's standing as a
lawyer and citizen and his faith
ful service as a public official are
assurances that if elected to the
office tie seaks he will faithfully
discharge the duties thereof.
Our conception of :i newspa
per's duty to it’s loaders is that it
should give both sides of a public
question and let them settle it as
to which is right. However, some
of our contemporaries seem to
have delegated to themselves the
sole power to decide questions of
this character and some seem a
little inclined to want to dictate
to the people how they shall vote.
It. is little wonder that the press
of the state has lost it's influence
with the people. I
In the course of his brilliant re
ply to The Journal in last week’s
issue of the Newport News, Col,
Waterman pertinently asks: ‘‘Is
not Mr. Craig one of the peo.
pie t Well, colonel, since read
ing that brilliant array of facts
wo hardly know, for certain,
whether we are one of the people
or merely some sort of a biped.
Of course, the News declaration
that ‘Mo be consistent it (mean
ing The Journal) should not
print a line on the subject,” is, of
itself, very pliin. At least, in,
our ignoiunt wav, we construe it |
to mean that The Journal, whi It
is legging for neither Davis or
Hector, to tie consistent, must
refrain from even mentioning the
contest, in any manner whatever,

why I’he Journal mq-t remain

Getting
Thin
is all right, if you are too fat;
and all wrong, if too thin already.
Fat, enough for your habit, is
healthy; a little more, or less, is
no great harm. Too fat, consult
a doctor; too thin, persistently
thin, no matter what cause, take
Scott’s Emulsion of C od l iver
Oil.
There are manv causes of get
ting too thin; they all come
under these two heads: over
work and under-digestion.
Stop over-work, if you can;
but, whether you can or not,
take Scott’s Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil, to balance vourself
with your work. You can’t live
on it—true—but, by it, vou
can. There’s a limit, however;

Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver
Oil is the readiest cure for

your doing no work—you can’t

Batesville, Aik., March 11,1902
To My Friends of the Sixth Senatorial
District: •
A report is being circulated in
this and Stone county, that 1 said
publicly in Stone county that 1
was in favor of a Jaw to penitent
iary any and all persons for not
paying their debts no matter how
>r when made.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
FALSE and 1 defy any one to
the country. What 1 did sty was
Ihisj That 1 was in favor of
amending the law fo>- the prc tect
ion of Hotel keepers and Board
ing houses, making it a felony to
heat a board bill where the
• mount exceeded ten dollars,
whereas the law only makes it a
misdemeanor.
My object, and aim being to
protect BOOR PEOPLE i
[MOSTLY WIDOW WOMEN)
who m ikes their living by running
> >aidi ig houses and who are im
posed noon by tramps, shysters
• nd such people who travel
tirouuh tlie country and seek
ipporlunities to heat widow
women and such people who run
hoe boarding houses out of a
iving.
Now to those wlm may read
his. be Hun friends ,»r enemy,do
in* the justice to tell exactly what
I did s.ty thereby branding the
datements now in circulation as

JOils A HINKLE.
49 years,
1853 to 1902.
Tbc house of Ilollenberg has placed I ninos and Oigans In
thousands upon thousands of homes in Arkansas and the
Southwest. Many of our leading teachers and musicians have
been educated on these Pianos and Organs, the constat aim
through all these years has been to sell only such instruments
as would prove a pleasure to the purchasers and a testimonial
of our fitness to serve the publio.
The enviable record of forty-nine years continuous business
not only demonstrates that fact beyond contradiction, but is
proof positive that our theories of uffeii ... . u
reputable instruments, instead of attempting to cnarge Lite
highest obtainable price, is recognized and'appreciated.
That we sell more Pianos and Organs in Arkansas than all
others combined, is ad.litior a! [. ■’ that we can and do sell
line instruments at a less price than any or a 1 competition can
meet.
If you desire a Piano or Organ it will please us to fully dis
cuss with you the many advantages we offer, t all to see us or
write, Your inquiries are solicited and will receive prompt
and courteous attention.
