place where sane people do not

To the Voters of
Woodruff County.
I am a candidate for re-election
for County Trensuerer, I have dis
charged mv full duties as treasur
er so far. I have divided the coun
ty’s school and road funds between
the different banks of the county,
pursuant to a course of uction de
termined upon and expressed be
fore I had an opponent, the first
term. Action was taken to pro
mote the convenience of the people,
the security of the county’s funds
and an equitable distribution of the
benefits arising from its use.
I know of no reason why I shou
ld be made an exception to the
democratic rule, that an officer who
discharges his duties, be accorded
a second term, save that by action
in the drawing from the bank that
has enjoyed all the benefits, prior
to my term, the bulk of the coun
ty’s funds and has displeased its
managers.
I promise you, if re-elected, to
faithfully discharge my duties and
deposit your money safely and se
curely in all the banks in every
part of the county, as shall be
deemed most convenient for you,
and that it shall not be monopoliz
ed by any one, while I am your
treasurer.

dial support, I am your
Obedient Servant,

The Drunk at For
rest City.
The following is sufficient proof
by reputable citizens of Forrest
City as to Bob Rogers being beast
ly drunk in that town on January,
27, which Mr. Rogers and others
dispute as being the truth :
“I hereby certify, that, on the
night of January, 27th, Mr. Robert
L. Rogers was in our city beastly
drunk and in fact had to be carried
from the Iron Mountain depot to
the Rock Island, where he laid on
a pair of trunks for an hour and
forty five minutes, nsiug very pro
fane and obscene language, which
was indeed very disgusting even to
his friends. T. A. Buford.

Judge Little talked of the duties
of the state to the citizen soldiers
and of the foundation of the demo
cratic party being a small-standing
army and a large well drilled, well
kept militia. After being cheered
and applauded again and again,
Capt. Keating introduced Hon.
Ransom Gulley, candidate for com
missioner of mines, manufactures
and agriculture. Mr. Gulley spoke
of the duties of the state guard as
sons of southern mothers and fath
ers, of the future of our nation
resting upon their shoulders and
from the general appearance of the
boys present, he: felt safe in leav
ing it in their hands.
Hon. Grant Green then followed
along the same line with a few re
marks as to the soldiers of the
guard and the law, and remarked
that he was sure that the state
could risk its honor to such men
as those of Company “G.’
A few of the county coudidates

The following is wlmt Mi'- E. L.
M atlock, then attorney for the city
of Van Buren, has to say regard
ing the charges brought against
Mr. Rogers in that city:
“Mr. Rogers was arrested by
policeman M. F. Hatley, who pre
ferred two charges against him,
one for carrying a pistol as a wea
pou and the other for using pro
fane and indecent language. I was
notified of the arrest by tlie police
man, Mr Hatley, and also inform
ed that Mr. Rogers had stated that
he would make a defense. I in
vestigated the cases aud prepared
them for trial, and upon investi
gating the cases I found the facts
to be in substance that:
“Robert L. Rogers was driving
about the streets of the city of Van
Buren with a lewd woman ; that
his wife heard of it and came up
on the streets looking for them ar
med with n lior«e-whip, threaten
ing to use u on idem at sight.. -She
went to Mr. M. F. Hatley, a no
!iceman, and told him the situation,
and lie set out to hum \:r. Roget -
aud the woman, leaving 31 i s. Reg
ers at the hotel While Mr Hatley
was lot)king for them. Mr. Roj ei.
drove up to the hotel and the ■’
tnau got'out and went into the Imrei
where quite a scene was enacted
betw ■ n her and Mrs. Rogers, aft
rrwards Mr. Roge rs and Mr. Hat
lev met Mrs. Rogers on the streets
and another scene was enacted, in
which quite a disturbance was com
mitted and Mr. Rogers took out a
requesting her to kill him.
The pistol ease was dismissed on
the ground that Mr. Rogers was
just returning from a journey, and
Mr. Rogers plead guilty to the Oth
er charge. E. L. Matlock.
