A large majority of the Jones
papers were painfully silent on
the subject of the senator's vote on
the isthmian canal question.
A revival of the old-fashioned
country fairs would bo of vastly
more benefit to Arkansas than to
be eternally dabbling in polities.
The Paragould Sol iphone says
Bryan should keep still. Perhaps
so, but. the average democrat would
rather listen to Bryan for a whole
week than hear three sentences
from Cleveland.
The man who will get mad at
what the newspapers say about ,
him is generally the man who
should return thanks three times a
day for the things the newspapers
know about him and don't print.

The G lobe- Democrat sa.\ s cong

this has been a leal "working'1

Indians have discovered what
they believe to be the petrified
hulk of Noah's ark on a mountain
thousands of feet, above the sea j
level, near the Arctic circle in |
Alaska. They gave a description I
of it which indicated that it was
about 1,200 feet long and that it
was lying partly upon it's side.
The discovery will be investigated, j
How About
Your Heart
Fee! your pulse a few minutes.
Is it regular? Are you short of
breath, after slight exert ion
as going up stairs, sweeping,
walking, etc? Do you have
pain in left breast, side or
between shoulder blades, chok
ing sensations, fainting or
smothering spells, inability to
lie on left side? If ^ou have
any of these symptoms you
certainly have a weak heart,
and should immediately take
mubV Heart Cure
Mr. y, H. Oaks of Jamestown, N. Y.,
whose penial face appears above, says:
“Excessive use of tobacco seriously
affected my heart. I suffered severe
pains about the heart, and in the left
shoulder and side; w hile the palpitation
would awaken me from my sleep. I
began taking Dr. Miles' Heart Cure
and soon found permanent relief.”

It is said that politics sometimes
make strange bedfellows, but we
venture to say thut Bryan and
Cleveland will never become polit
ical bedfellows. They each have
a nightmare now, when they think
of the other in his own individual
bed. _
The Dumas News complains of
too many compliments and not
enough dollars, which leads the
Sharp County Record to truthful
ly remark that “compliments are
all right, but a million of them >
won't buy a pound of the stall of
life. _
Senator Jones says he is not out
of the race for senator, and that!
his candidacy will be in the hands|
of his friends at the coming ses- i
sion of the legislature. This seems
to us as a very unwise move on the
part of Senator Jones. The thing
for Jones to do is to retire grace
fully and acknowledge his defeat.
The Newport News says that
“by the nastiest tricks known to
gutter-snipe politics Senator Jones
was beaten, but that even don’t
seem to satisfy Clarke-Davis” and
predicts that, “in four years Jeff
will be the deadest dog in the pit. ”
Well, brother, if things keep go
ing Jeff's way, in four years he
will be the only real live dog in
the pit and will be a veritable
It seems that the Newport News
will never yet over the defeat of
Senator Jones, and Bro. Water
man never Loses an opportunity to
vilify Governor Davis for the part
he took in helping to defeat Jones.
Bro, Waterman put the ticket at
the masthead of his paper and pre
tended to bury the hatchet, but
left the handle sticking out, and
every time he thinks of Clarke he
runs and unearths the old hatchet,
begins to wield it in the air and
make faces at Clarke and Davis.
Since Senator Jones has made
the declaration that he is still in !
the race for senator, the question
naturally arises: Would Jones ac
cept an election at the hands of the
legislature, after being defeated by
the peopleFrom his declaration
it is safe to assume that he would.
Of cours.i, there is no probability
of the legislature going contrary
to the instructions of the party, 1
hut it seems to us that Jones has
placed himself in a very ridiculous
attitude. Senator Jones, it seems
has soured since his defeat,
Commenting on the Hardy Her
ald's dream of the Da vis-Berry
campaign, The Journal took occa
sion to remark that Bro. Pepoon
was a humorist, and in reply the
Herald says: “Perhaps the Ilerald
is an unconscious humorist. Cer
tainly it was more in sadness than
in hilarity that we described the.
next campaign as our prophetic
soul sees it, based faithfully upon
the recent infliction our state has
undergone. Of course, there is an
element of humor in the situation;
K _.l_
wu ai atiuaos, aim it
is a very practical joke tit that.
Victims of practical jokes, while
they may see the fun, do not enjoy
it much."
The England Courier sayg “the
second primary election in Lonoke
county was lmd to adjust the ir
regularities of the first,” and a
writer in the same issue says “the
returns of the second election gave
1 licks (candidate for sheriff) a ma
jority of twenty-five votes; we be
lieve that is sufficient to convince
any fair-minded set of men that J.
II. Hicks was legally, morally,
justly and democratically the nom
inee of the democratic party.
Nevertheless it whs not so declared
by the central committee." It'
would therefore seem that, thecen- j
tral committe of that county thinks !
itself greater than the people. I
That is exactly what brought on
the present situation in Indepeu- j
deuce county. Instead of repre- j
renting democratic seutiment, a
majority of the committee has at
tempted to prevert the will of the
voters and disrupt the party mere
ly to satisfy their prejudice against
the county's banner democratic
township.

Your Hair
“Two years ago my hair was
falling out badly. 1 purchased a
bottle of Ayer’s Hair Vigor, and
soon my hair stopped coming out.”
Miss Minnie Hoover, Paris, 111.
Perhaps your mother
had thin hair, but that is
no reason why you must
go through life with half
starved hair. If you want
long, thick hair, feed it
with Ayer’s Hair Vigor,
and make it rich, dark,
and heavy.

SOME OLDEN MEMORIES
IIow They Made Corn and Cotton
in the Famous Oil Trough
and Big Bottom in
Olden Times.
Ye«, crop prospects are fine,
but speaking of good crops re
minds us that we ran into a crowd
Monday who were discussing
crops and we learn that, while
orops are nne unu promise a goon
yield, they do not compare with
prospects and yields make by
many of the old settlers in this
community a quartet of century
or so ago. The Oil Trough and
4ig Bottom lands are acknowled
ged to be the finest farming lands
in the grand old broad
and fertile state of Arkansas
and it almost staggers a man from
poorer and less fortunate parts of
the country, who is used to small
yields, to hear the old citizens
here tell of the crops made on
the fertile Big Bottom land.
They were talking of raising
corn and W. I, Long, who was
raised on a farm near here in Oil
Trough, and who is familiarly
known to every body far and near
.«s “Billy” Long, genial, gcod
natured and honest to a penny,
told of a crop his father raised
when “Billy"’ was yet a young man
working on the farm with his
father. Theie were 20 acres in
the held and the land was planted
in corn in fairly good shape.
The season was an uncommonly
good one and, being ovei cropped,
they never went into that peice
of corn after it was planted to
work it in any manner, not oven
to chop the weeds out. At gath
ering time they gathered 105 bush
els of corn to the acre from the
peice of land, or a total of 2,100
bushels. This was in 1874. It
looks a little unreasonable, but
Mr. Long is a truthful man and
says it’s true as Gospel.
U. (). Magness, who is equally
well known, and who was raised
tm a farm on Padgett Island in
Big Bottom, says that in 1868
they had a two acre peice of land
in corn and pumkins and from
the peice they gathered 265 meas
ured bushels of corn and there
were so many pumkins they didn’t
even pretend to haul them out—
couldn't hud room to store them.
But they carried out pumkins from
the land and fattened 28 head of
hogs and you couldn't uiios them
ftom the field.
N. M. Wilson who is an old
citizen well known all over this
part of the country, and who is
the present democratic, nominee
for road overseer, says that in
1872 he had a six acre peice of
land on Padgett Island worked in
cotton and that it made 8,000
pounds to the acre or a total of
18,000 pounds from the six acres.
This was in 1872 and ootton
brought 25 cents a pound. Mr.
\\ ilson says he has the gin receipts
for this cotton at home now. Yes
those were the good old days, and
a gleam of satisfaction can he
plainly seen (o flit across the face
of the talker as lie tells ot such
things and liis mind is carried
hack to the scenes of his early life
tnd “Boyhood happy days down
>u the farm.”

Still We Grow.
The efficient, courteous and
progressive postmaster, G. F.
Crosser, has added a new, up-to
date postoffice cabinet to the of
fice at this place wiih 32 combina
tion lock boxes and money order
attachment, besides the huge
number of call boxes. Newark is
only a fourth-class office, but i*
growing fast and will soon bo
raised to a second-class. We
leave a large scope of country
whose people receive mail at this
office. The money orders issued
since Jan. 1, 1902. have showed a
decided increase and the orders
issued last month showed a gain
of 28. Stamps sold and canceled
increased one-fourth. The post
office occupies quarters in a nice
new building erected by Mr. Cros
ser for that especial purpose and
the service rendered the public is
first class. In fact Newark's
accommodations in this line are
far ahead of many towns twice
liei size. When you come in amt
take a peep at the nice, new fix
tures don’t think for a moment
that you are in Little Rock, or

KIMBALL FIAAOS
The Triumph of Economy as Well
as of Art.
■*♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
This combination is the cause, and the important cause, of
the wonderful popularity of the Kimball Pianos and Organs.
35 000 per year are not sufficient to supply the demand, as
the Kimball Company is several thousand orders behind in
shipments and is planning further large additions to “The
Greatest Factory in existence.”
What else could create the prodigious growth which “The
Kimball” has attained, than that the instruments are the acme
of perfection and in the cost to manufacture and to sell are a
triumph of economy not possible to competition. Ibe incon
sistency of prejudice and carping criticism must make way for
well-earned reputatiod and sucli advancing progress.
We solicit inquriesof all kinds concerning Pianos and Organs
their prices, terms of payment or otherwise. VVc will promptly
and satisfactorily serve every requirement.
