No wonder Myers was going to
back out if Greaves was allowed
to go on the stump against him.
Poor Harry!
There is only one tiling about it.
not only is Myers afraid to meet
Greaves on the stump but he ab
solutely refuses to do so. Stutt
gart Republican.
Insurgent Greaves seems to be
making friends at every place he
speaks, and if indications are
worth anything he will come out
of the race ahead of Myers.
dell' will come out about 40,000
ahead of Greaves, and Greaves
about 12,000 ahead of Myers, and
it will bo a regular neek-and-neclc
mule race between Myers, Bre'r
Campbell and Kimball.
Independence county should be
well represented at the state fair
at Little Rock in October. A
state fair properly conducted will
vastly benefit Arkansas and every
county should be represented.
An observant newspaper man
has discovered that a Russian this
tle can be distinguished from any
other weed by squeezing them.
We might add that this is also a
good way to distinguish a hornet
from a horsefly.
A Boston paper remarks that
“summer must be here; a butter
fly was caught in the south end
today.” It might be all right to
catch a butterfly in the south end,
but in case of a wasp, it, would be
wise to grab about the equator.
The Gazette and Democrat got
into a controversy over carrying
the democnatic ticket and, in reply
to a suggestion from the Demo
crat that the Gazette might add
the names of the democratic nomi
nees for justice of the peace, the
Gazette ph ids that space is too
valuable. Then why not dispense
with the whole thing ( None of the
Little Rock papers that claim to be
plete ticket. The Democrat re
fuses to carry the name of .las. I*.
Clarke for United States senator,
because, it claims, that Clarke is
not elected by the people. Hut we
suspect that it is for personal rea
sons that Clarke’s name does not
appear on the ticket carried by the
Hair Splits
“1 have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor
for thirty years, it is elegant for
a hair dressing and for keeping the
hair from splitting at the ends.”—
J. A. Grucnenfelder.Grantfork, 111.
Hair-splitting splits
friendships. If the hair
splitting is done on your
own head, it loses friends
for you, for every hair of
your head is a friend.
Ayer’s Hair Vigor in
advance will prevent the
splitting. If the splitting
has begun, it will stop it.

ever, that the Gazette and Denu
I crat never refuse democratic pit
for any reason.
Myers invariably leaves the an
dienee when Insurgent Greavt
gets up to speak. It seems tha
Harry was at one time opposed t
Clay ton ism, and would have joint*
the “insurgent” movement had h
not been allowed to stick his fee
under Uncle Sanrs piecounteran
ho dislikes for Greaves to tell o
him in public.
Matheny and a few of his friend
are responsible for the present pc
litical situation in this county
They could have averted it b;
agreeing to a new primary be
tween lit' and Arnold. Arnold fa
vored a new primary, but the Ma
theny following fought the propo
sition for a new primary with:
zeal born of desperation. A nev
primary would have settled th
dispute satisfactorily to both side
and harmony would have been th'
result. Hut Matheny seemed t<
think he should rule or ruin and i
may possibly be his ruin.
DEMOCRATIC ACTIVI i'Y.
The candidates on the demo
cratie ticket in Iudependenc
county are going about the elec
tion business in the proper wav
There is but little opposition, i
is true, but there is such a thin*
as permitting the contest to go In
default. Overconfidence ha
caused many a surprise in poli
ties, and tho only way to avoii
surprises and make assuranc
doubtly sure is to dress the demo
cratie ranks and be prepared t<
go forward and win.
To this end organization is uec
eessary, and the work of getting
out tho full democratic vote
should be given attention. N<
matter how certain may bo tin
election of the entire democralii
ticket, it is always wise and wet
to get out as full a vote as possi
hie. Lethargy and indifferent**
on the part of the democrats wil
encourage the independents t(
greater activity. Every democral
should be on the alert.
FRIEND WINDBAG.
Our friend Windbag comes bach
in the Batesvillo Bee of July 23 ii
his “Reply to Martin,” with soini
statements labeled “facts” whiel
are as far from facts as the nortl
pole is from the south polo. To bt
plain about it, they are palpable,
unvarnished lies.
The Journal has investigated :
little along this line and is read.i
to back this statement with tlu
woof.
He says Martin was committee
man in ISP8, and not a judge- Lie
No. 1. It is true that Martin wu>
committeeman, but at the meeting
of the committee to select judges
Hr. W. L. Magness attended tin
meeting as proxy from this town
ship and selected Martin as one of
the judges. Martin served a.'
judge, delivered the 1mllots and
poll books at Batesville and turn
ed them over to the circuit clerk
T. II. Hearing, who was duly au
thorized by Arthur Neill, chair
man of the committee, to recievt
and care for the returns.
Now for lie No. 2: The ballot1
were not there, eh? It can b<
proven by affidavit that they wen
there. Ask John Q. Wolf, cash
ier of the Bank of Batesv ille, anc
a man of undoubted integrity, i
he didn't help count the ballots.
John Q. Wolf, C. P. Vaughn
M. C. Long and K. P. Weavei
were on the committee that wem
over the returns. At that tinu
the much-talked-of race betweei
Hinkle and Flinn was decided, anc
after a careful investigation of the
- returns, the committee announeec
i- the race a tie. It' the ballots fron
this township had not been then
would they not have been eallec
for in an important contest like
■ thatMost assuredly they would
s And besides, two of this committei
f have expressed a willingness t<
0 make affidavit that the ballots wen
1 there. Dare you deny it again
11 Windbag.?
t There is well grounded suspicioi
i that this same Windbag ran for ai
1 office once upon a time and, as In
only got 14 votes in llig Bottom
he must do something for spite.
If Windbag wants to bring on
the facts, The Journal is perfectly
• willing, but they must be facts, am
1 not palpable, unvarnished lies
And we would suggest that, if ii
is facts he is after, he could get i
few right at home that would bt
of interest to the people. Tak<

ABOUT THE RECORDS.
> It seems that the records of tin
t present county central committei
have gotten into the same eondi
tion that our friend Windbag as
■serts they were in 1808. lit
claims that the record for 180;
- .1. 4- 1 .... 4- 1... 1 1 A . . _ .. A
Jivn tiiav iiw uauv/iK? »*ric i ruui n
od from Big Bottom. It has beei
admitted by the entire board win
went over the returns that yea:
' that the ballots from Big Bottom
were not only there, but wen
strictly straight, and even tin
I chronic kickers could find nothing
to raise a disturbance over. The
proves one of two tilings, namely
( That the records are absolutely
false or Windbag has lied. It isn
hard matter, of course, to per
, suade oneself to believe that i
man of Windbag's position can
, lie. And, then, it has been said
that figures don’t lie, and, from
. all indications, friend Windbag e
| a genuine figure (0 with the ring
. removed.) So, as that dispells al
> doubt about the truthfulness of
1 his assertion, we must assume that
i the records are false.
That brings to mind the fact
that the records of the present
county central committee do not
show that a motion was made by
Committeeman W. C. Sanders, of
White River township, at a meet
ing of the committee on May 3, to
accept the report of the first can
vassing board and declare the nom
inees according to the findings of
that board, which would have giv
en the nomination to Matheny.
Further, the records do not
show that this motion was voted
down by the friends of Matheny.
But such was the ease.
But they were hell-bent then on
driving the spear into Big Bottom
and nothing but a re-count would
j do. So they voted down the mo
tion, appointed a committee to
make a re-count of the entire
county and went at it with a de
termination to wipe Big Bottom
1 of the map.
But how did it resulti Why,
they counted a little ways, found
other townships in a worse condi
tion than the object of their spleen
and that their pet candidate was
* beaten if they carried out instruc
tions.

dirtiest and most dishonest act
that was ever perpetrated in the
name of democracy was enacted.
Instead of completing the re
count and making an honest re
port, or recommending a new pri
mary between the disputants, ,
they, to cover up their own infa
mous acts, and defraud the man
out of the nomination who was
honestly entitled to it, dropped
the re-count and recommended
that the committe declare the
result as found by the first can
i vassing board — the very thing they
i had voted down. And a majority
■ of the central committee, the very
1 same ones who had at the meeting
before voted down this proposi
' tion, boldly changed front and
' voted for it.

t they want to force upon the dem
ocrats of Independence county.
Will the democrats blindly fall
i in and swallow the pill?

Day at Have s Springs.
It has been an unbroken
custom for a number of years
among the people of Newark to
spend a pleasant Sunday among
[ the hills around Eaves Springs
one or more times each summer.

early hour the crowd began to
gather and with a jolly crowd,
plenty of mellons, soda, ice cream
and many good things to eat the
crowd spent a very pleasant day

Everything moved along nicely
and with no excitement until the
dinner hour. While all were
buisily engaged eating dinner
lined up along six table cloths
every inch or which was covered
with good things, one of the dogs
which had accompanied the party
spied a real muddy hog which ho
thought intruding and attacked him
at one. A warm chased ensued
and the hog rushed through the
table passing so close to Mr. bear
ing as to spoil his fresh laundry.
This shows how much Mr. hear
ing was absorbed in his meal, not
to see the hog as it approached.
Well we bad a nice time in spite
of those things and hope to meet
thcie again soon.

KIMBALL PIAIOS
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. The incon
sistency of prejudice and carping criticism must make way for
well-earned reputatiod and such advancing progress.
We solicit inquriesof all kinds concerning Pianos and Organs
their prices, terms of payment or otherwise. We will promptly
and satisfactorily serve every requirement.
