If a man would read no papers
but the Little Rock Democrat he
would come to the conclusion
that Senator Jones is the only
candidate before the people for
the U. S. Senate.
They have a new drink in Kan

cider, alcohol and water. It is
said that one glass makes a man
ready for a frolic, two for a fight

A Missouri editor who read
that a lads'; hi New York “kneads

don’t soon pay up we shall need
bread without anything on.—Ex.
The inimitable Ex-Gov. Bob
Taylor, of Tennessee., has fallen
a victim to Cupid’s shafts. Last
week he was married to a
wealthy Alabama lady. Col. Bob
has entirely too much sentiment
in his soul to go through this
world single handed.—Little
Rock Sentinel.
It would be a boon to the pub
lic if all the pistol-toters could be
put in a bullpen and compelled to
use their weapons on each other.
But they wouldn’t shoot in such
a case. They would rather break
their necks trying to climb the
fence. Your habitual pistol-toter
rarely has the nerve to draw on
an armed man.—North Little
Rock Sentinel.
During the celebration of labor
day at Little Rock last Monday
Gov. Davis among other things
said: “The last house of repre
senatives was a good body, but
the senate, as a whole, was as
corrupt as the infernal region
itself.” We will agree with our
Govenor in regard to the cor
ruptness of the senate, but why
the house of represenatives
should not be classed within the
same region, we can’t under
stand.
Beginning with this issue the
News will be published everj
Saturday in the place of Thurs
day. We recently took charge
of the Free Press of Augusta anc
will publish both papers in the
future. While we are over ir
Augusta our little brother E. C
Kramer wall have charge of tin
New:s and it will receive the same
careful attention in the future as
in the past. The News will be
McCrory’s paper and will con
tinue to fight for McCrory am
this part of the county as before
Thanking the people for pas
favors and asking for a continu
ance of same wre remain,
Yours very respt.,

In th<* recent rnise of taxable
property throughout the county
worthy of public notice is the
following. The total amount of
property subject to taxation
prior to the meeting of the Boa rd
of Equalization was $2,4(50,020.
The total amount after the raise
is $2,802,740, which does not
include the poll tax. This is an
increased amount of taxable pro
pwrty of $336,720, or the proper
ty subject to taxation in Wood
! ruff Oount.v was raised $330,720.
We have often heard of preach
ers being- satisfied when they
have chicken to eat, but evident
ly from an experience related of
a colored preacher, we are lead
to the conclusion that evenchick
en can’t quiet some of their pal
pitating appetites. Here is the
story as it was told us. One day
not long ago three twelve year
old boys came into a well known
restaurant of McCrory and one
ordered a chicken sandwich.
This colored brother who has
quit the ministry as a business,
but still loves his chicken as he
use to, became hungry upon see
ing the sandwich and at once or
dered a roasted hen. After hav
ing devoured the aforesaid and
the same, he took his stand upon
a block and gave the Democratic
rally crow which seems to be a
notification to the restaurant
man that perhaps the chicken
eaten by the eater was of a dif
ferent persuasion to what he had
represented, but that was not
the beginning of the effect of the
chicken upon our ex-divine. He
next laid aside his mantel of
Christianity and with words usu
ally not heard in church, he
preached a sermon at the gin
and finally concluded the servic
' es by going home.

A wolf challenged Mr. Hart

this sport did not suit Mr. Hart

of all this, the wolf followed. At
last seeing the wrolf would not
cease, he turned on the wolf. As
soon as the wolf sawT Mr. Hart
sell full in the face, he made his

CLARKE JONES CONTEST.
On last Thursday quite a num
ber of citizens of McCrory went
to Augusta to hear the speaking.
Among them: Mr. Shearer, Mar
shal Patterson, Dr. Jelks, Mr.
Flynn, Will Grimes, W. E. Wilder,
Galen Patterson, Miss Nina
Riggs, Miss Rosser, and several
others. About 2 o’clock P. M..
Maj. Stanley introduced Senator
JamesK. Jones to a large audience
most of whom were decorated
with the Clark badges. Mr. Jones
spoke of imperialism as effecting
our relation to the outside world,
but he represented the trusts as
the greatest injury to our inter
nal welfare. And that tariff is the
mother of all trusts. In one sen
tence, he condemns the trusts as
the greatest evil and in the very
next moment, he speaks of the
American Cotton Co. as not being
a trust, for no other reason than
because he owns a large interest
in the same. If his connection
with the trusts will take them
out of the list of trusts and make
them legitimate business affairs
we hope that he will purchase a
share in all of them.
This reminds us of the story
Gov. Clarke told of a carpenter
who lives at Clarksville, Ark.
This carpenter had come home
from his work and found his
wife had just finished her day’s
washing. The child was playing
about the tubs and just at that
time turned a tub of suds ovei
making the child unfit for com
pany. He immediately said
“wife throw the child over the
fence, I can go and borrow one
; quicker than you can clean thal
• one up.” “So it is with the Sen
■ ator” said Gov. Clarke. You had
better throw Senator Jones ovei
the fence for you can get anothej
, senator easier than you can gel
Mr. Jones right.”
We need a man of energy to be
our senator a man of some mag
j nitism, a man of progress. P
> we send Mr. Clarke we will have
j a man who will stand up for Ark
! ansas W’henever a chance pre
sents itself. We are for Clarke
all the time.
’ HOW TO KEEP.A POSTMASTER

your feelings and doesn’t hurt
him any.
If he tells you that you haven’t
any mail put on a grieved ex- i
pression and remark in loud1
tones that “there ought to be|
some,” and convey the idea to!
the postmaster that you think he j
is hiding your mail for the ex
quisite pleasure of having you
ask for it three times a day.
If you have thirteen children
see to it that each one of them ,
separately and at different times I
of the day calls for your mail.
This course relieves the monoto-1
ty at the postoffice and gives the
children a chance to get some
fresh air.
If you are a young lady get
four others to come with you and
while you are being waited on
have the rest stationed at differ-!
ent points in the lobby and all;
giggle in a different key at the ■
same time. If.’there is anything |
on earth that a postmaster dotes j
on it is giggling.
The above are a few excellent'
rules to observe and if you live |
up to them faithfully you will!
