serve as a fairly good drawing
card.
The Wynne Blade - Democrat
says the great moralist, A. A.
Webb of the Monte Ne Herald,
stole a hat from a citizen of that
town last summer while at work
there in one of the newspaper of
fices. Webb’s idea of morality
seems to l*e that it doesn’t matter
'what Webb does, just so other
people are good.
CONSCIENCE SMITES HIM
A peculiar case is reported from
Miller county, which shows that a
man may secure vindication at the
hands of the law for some crime
which he has committed, but it is
hard to smother the conscious
ness of the wrong within himself.
John Whitehead, a young far
mer living in that county, was
placed in jail at Texarkana last
Saturday at his own request, lest
he should be overtaken with an
attack of lunacy and harm some
one.
Some eight years ago he shot
and killed a young man for some
wrong which he fancied had been
done to his sister. Later he be
came possessed of the idea that the
ghost of his victim was shadowing
him, and only waiting for an op
portune time to kill him. He had,
after a hard fought legal battle,
been acquitted of the charge of
murder, but the spook of the man
he had shot continued to haunt
him, he said. Finally be became
crazed, and was jailed till he re
covered.
Later he had another attack,
and was placed in jail at his own
request, and when the last attack
came upon him he went at once to
his neighbors and besought them
to put him where he could do no
harm, in case his old malady ac
tually came upon him.
The census office at Washington
has made a public bulletin on Ark
ansas’ growth and development
that is both interesting and in
! structive. It shows the increase
in the number of manufacturing
i establishments during the period
1 from 11*00 to 1900 to be ls8 per
cent. The increase in capital in
vested for the same period is 90
1 per cent, while in the value of pro
ducts the increase amounts to 40
percent. The capital of the lum
jber business doubled itself, and
the same remarkable growth is
noticeable in several other enter
' prises. Great is Arkansas. Ben*

POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT
To the Democratic Voters of Big
Bottom Township, Indepen
dence County, Ark.:
I am a candidate for the office
of justice of the peace of Big Bot
tom township, subject to action
of the Democratic primary to be
held on the 28th day of March,
11*06. V oters, you have my rec
ord before you for the last seven
years as justice of the peace, and i
you who have had dealings with
me in my official capacity, know
whether I have conducted myself
as I should and whether, through
my long services in said office, I j
am now better qualified to serve!
you in this capacity. Now when j
you come to cast your ballot for ;
J. P. on the 25th day of March,
if you think 1 am worthy of re
nomination, cast your ballot for
me and I will appreciate your sup- j
port as much if not more than any
one who aspires for the same of
fice; but on the other hand if you
think I am unworthy and that
there are others who are more
worthy than I, it is your duty to
cast your ballot for them and I
shall be satisfied with your choice.
Now in conclusion I will say there
are three candidates besides my
self seeking the nomination, who
are nice gentlemen, and only two
of the four to be nominated. Now
should I be one of those nominat
ed I shall be ever grateful to the
Democratic voters of this town
ship, and should I live to serve
you another two years, my politi
cal aspirations will be higher.
Your past support is appreciated
and your suffrage in this under
taking solicited.
Yours Respectfully,
J no. T. Thakj*.

The new Volo is not only the best machine in
point of mechanism and operation but the greatest
care and attention has been devoted to the per
fection and finish of every detail, so that it is a
handsome ornament to any room. Only the finest
quarter sawed curley white oak is used, and the
stand is made of the smoothest grey iron, hand
somely japanned, trimmed with polished brass thus
making a most attractive and elegant appearance.
All the wood work is hand finished.
Its perfect adjustment and roller bearings make
it easy running, and a wonderful sewer. Its beauty
makes it attractive to the eye and completes the
last detail making the Volo a machine far better
than any machine ever before made. Our demon
stration and your own examination will put one in
your home.
