LECTURED ON HEALTH
Dr. T. B. Bradford Tells a Number of huttig
Citizens Mow to Keep Well.
Dr. T. B. Bradford of Cotton
Plant, district sanitary director of
the State Board of Health, arrived
in Huttig last Friday afternoon
from Strong and gave a very in
teresting and instructive lecture at
the library on that evening to over
fifty residents of the town.
The doctor was introduced by
Rev. W. T. King in a few well
chosen words and dwelt at length
on the necessity of sanitary condi
tions about the homes the value of
pure air and the drinking of plenty
of pure water. He said the only
way to prevent typhoid fever, ma
laria. meningitis and other diseases
of that character was to keep your
premises clean of old cans and rub
bish of every description, keep the
body clean, sleep with a window
open in your bedroom, sun your
bedding often and drink plenty of
pure water. We hope every resi
dent of Huttig will follow this ad
vice which costs nothing but will
surely prevent sickness, which in
turn means loss of time and money
if not death.
Dr. Bradford's special work is
along the line of the eradication of
the hookworm disease and he will
be in Union county for at least a
month working along this line. He
will return to Huttig in about two
weeks to make microscopic exami
nations of all children who appear
to have this disease and will treat
all found to have it free. If your
children are slugg ;h have them
examined when the doctor returns
and he will cure them arid make
them healthy children.
New 5-Cent Pieies Ut-.idy.
The design of the new nickel, the
creation of J. E. Frasher. a New
York artist, has been accepted by
Secretary MacVeagh. The direc
tor of the mint has ordered its
coinage and it will be in circulation
early in February.
On one side of the new coin is
the reproduction of the head of an
Indian. At the top is the word
"Liberty" and at the bottom the
year. On the other side appears
the figure of a buffalo and the de
nomination of the coin. The de
sign is severely simple and is re
garded by the treasury officials as
one of the most artistic p;eces ever
turned out.

Good News if True.
We have authentic information
to the effect that the Iron Moun
tain Railway Co. will at cnce build
from Crossett to White Station,
thereby giving us an cutlet to th^
main line, via White, and to Little
Rock, via Gurdon.
This will mean much to Ham
burg and in fact to the whole of
Ashley county. There will be a
new train schedule and probably
two extra passenger trains through
Hamburg daily. People who de
sire to go to Little Rock from
Hamburg Can leave here on early
train and arrive there in time for
dinner.— Hamburg Budget.
This is a piece of connecting
road that will help this part of the
! state and North Louisiana greatly
also as it will mean another con
nection from Monroe or Farmer
ville through Huttig to the Valley
division at Montrose or to the Mis
sissippi river at Lake Village or
Luna Landing. We hope Bro.
Kimber is right about this matter.

Damage Verdict Reduced.
i In the personal damage suit of
the St. Louis. Iron Mountain and
Southern Railway Go., against J.
H. Bird, as next friend of Wharton
Bird, the opinion being by Justice
Wood, the supreme court on Mon
day held that if the appelle will
cause a remittur to be entered in
1 5 days for all in excess of $15,
000. the judgment will be affirmed
and judgment entered in that sum.
otherwise the judgment will be re
versed and the cause remanded for
a new trial.
The suit was brought in the
Union Circuit Court by J. H. Bird,
father of Wharton Bird, seven
years old. who was run over and
killed at a crossing in El Dorado by
an Iron Mountain train, to recover
damages. Judgment was render
ed in favor of the plaintiff in the
lower court for $11,000. Whiie
considering a motion for a new
trial the court offered to require
the appellee to remit the sum of
$3,000 if the appellant would
waive errors and accept judgment
in the sum of $8,000. This the
Iron Mountain Company declined
to do, and the motion for a new
trial being overruled, appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court, the
Circuit Court reducing the judg
ment from $1 1,000 to $8,000.

Senator J. Monroe Snilh.
Tall and dignified is Senator J.
Monroe Smith of Lawson. Union
county. When something doesn't
suit him he says so in a remark to
nobody in particular, and when he
votes he booms it out with a vol
ume which leaves no question in
th° minds of those in and about the
Senate chamber as to how he
stands on the proposition.
Senator Smith wipes his brew
with a bandana handkerchief, not
because he is a "Bull Moose,” he
explained, but because the adop
tion of that brand of handkerchiefs
by the followers of one Theodore
Roosevelt didn't interfere with a
life-long preference.
Not only is Senator Smith a vet
eran lawmaker, but he served
throughout the Civil war also. He
was sergeant-at-arms in the
Twenty-fourth General Assembly,
was a memoer of the house 1893
and 1895 and a member of the
Senate in 1897. He is the father
of Dr. Morgan Smith, secretary of
the State Board of Health. Ar

Lawson, Ark.
Makes Plea far Tap line.
W. S. Hobbs of Warren, Ark.,
general manager of the Warren
and Ouachita Valley Railroad Co.,
before leaving for home from
Washington recently, urged the
Interstate Commerce Commission
i to revoke its order holding that his
road is not a common carrier.
Representative Goodwin of
Warren is in favor of the modifica
tion of the commission's ruling for
the reason that these short lines
are doing more for the develop
ment of tranportation facilities
^ than any other agency.
“Not only in Arkansas, but in the
South and Southwest generally the
tap lines roads are accomplishing
great good." he said. “Many roads
in Arkansas that are now perma
nent railroad were rnce tap lines,
and the order of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, if perpet
uated. will mean an absorbing of
the smaller roads by the larger
; ones: the elimination of competi
tion. and in a measure, a confisca
tion of property rights without due
1 process of law."
Composition on Idleness.
The following composition on
idleness written by Miss Cora Na ;h.
age 13 years, was awarded first
place at the Harper Springs school
last week:
‘‘1 think idleness is the most use
less way a person can spend their
time.
"A boy or girl who goes to school
and idles away their time is not go
| ing for the benefit of school but is
going to have a good time and when
they grow up to be men ard women
they have not learned anything
about the world and haven’t gained
any knowledge and they will never
be any benefit to their community,
but the persons who tries to make
their time as useful as they can
‘and goes to school and studies
hard and when they are not going
to school are working trying to
make someting out of themselves
! are the ones who will be so much
benefit to their community.
"The people who idle away their
time never realize how valuable
their time is to them until it is too
late.
"Some peojle who go to church,
to school or any where else are
: not going for the good of it but are
just going to pass away the time.
"Life is too short for us to idle
away our time any such way.
"We should not lose any time in
idleness, for our time is too
precious.”
His Confession.
! A certain editor kept his politics
to himself during the 'ast campaign
and caused a great deal of adverse
, comment on that account. A few
;days ago he received the following
! letter:
"Mr. Editor: You kept so still
during the recent campaign that
some of us are not sure where you
are at. What party do you belong
to? Will you please outline your
belief for the benefit of your read
ers?"
And the editor, unabashed in his
next issue wrote the following
I ...
; "Confession of Faith.
"Dear Sir: Th$ party we belong
to is a small one with black hair
and dark eyes, age 27 and then
some. We have belonged to this
: party for several years and have no
idea of changing.
“We are Presbyterian in belief
but we do not permit this to inter
fere with our selection of candi
dates. We always intend to vote
for the best man. and don't care a
rap whether he is an Alleopath,
Homeopath or Osteopath.
"We do not think a man is wrong
politically just because he don't
agree with us. We know he is.
"We believe that in this country
/
I . . I
one man is just as good as another,
and in some cases a little better,
"We are irrevocably against the
' hign cost of living as it is at pres
ent. We believe th^t where it is
too high it should be ■ ■'■wered. and
where it is too low it shuuid be
, highered.
i "We believe in a three hour
working day.
"We believe that a!! brchelore

like some of those we know it will
serve them right.
