Tin* legislature ought to camp
on th«* trail of the gubernatorial
freak until he is taught a lesson
in political honesty and moral
rectitude.
The above is a clipping from
the Ijonoke Democrat. This paper
is edited by Miss Willie Hicks
and we feel a delicacy in ques-j
tinning the opinions or sayings of
women but hoping that my wife
will never find it out, 1
will venture a few statements
anyway. We would like to know
if this legislature hasn’t already
been doing excellent camping
service? It has also with much
earnestness camped upon the
trail of our worthy Governor.
Miss Hicks calls him a ‘‘guber
natorial freak and yet with all the
state officials against him and the
majority of both houses of the
legislature against him, he, the
“gubernatorial freak” keeps the
whole opposition in hot water.
He has them guessing. He is a
most wonderful man.' He is not
a God neither is he an angel, but
he is an intellectual Titan: a man
not swayed by circumstances
but true to his convictions let
come what will. The fact of the
business is Jeff Davis is Gover
nor and some of the (would be
but never will be) dictators of
Jeff have run against a piece of
metal properly tempered. Con
sequently, they continually call
him a dead man politically, Jeff
is not dead but liveth. The com
mon clod-hoppers like myself
can see the real Jeff behind and
beyond the legislative camping
ground. Tell me such a legisla
ture capable of teaching Jeff
“honestyand moral rectitude.”
Say, Miss Hicks, do you have
any Johnson Grass in yonr
County? Do you believe it is a
splendid fertilizer? A good thing
for a farm? Well this legislature
adopted a report in which it in
dorsed Johnson Grass as a good
thing. Can you believe such a set
of campers to be capable of the
high and noble profession of
pedagogues? Instructors of
honesty and moral rectitude?
We think your recommendation
is very unwise and move to
amend that motion by asking
that this camping outfit withdraw
its abnoxious presence from
public notice. When one tells me
this is a model legislature fit for
a teacher of morals, then they
tell me Johnson Grass is good
and a trip to Hot Springs at the
expense of the people is a public
necessity and a person, who has
the gall to inform me that John
son Grass is a blessing and a
trip to Hot Springs a Public
Benediction, should be permitted
to cease from labor for awhile
and go amid nature’s varied
realms. Go out on the meadows
and drink the breath of new
mown hay; sing with the brook
and the Lark; smile with the
Daisy and the blushing Rose;
see the sun kiss the dew-drops
from earth’s flora. After a few
month’s sojourn in this paradise
of rose covered paviolnis, a ray
of hope of reality may dawn up
on the otherwise hopeless vision
of such a personage.
Mr. Ed Scales visited rela
tives near Memphis Sunday
and Monday.
Messrs. C. B. Cook. Ira Stoker,

On last Friday night the
Public School of Augusta closed
with an excellent Exhibition.
The school has been built up
from chaos "to that'standard of
system for which all graduates
of the Peabody ^Normal and
University of Nashville are
continually striving. Prof. Duna
way is one of the foremost in
structors in the state and un
der his excellent management,
the pupil and parent have be
come equally interested in the
educational future of the boys
and girls of Augusta. Through
his efforts, Augusta will have
a new brick school house ready
for the next term. There is no
building and no enterprise in a
town or community, that should
receive more attention than the
place where mind and charar
ter are molded. Impressions
made on youthful minds will
never be forgotten. Augusta
should be proud of Prof. Duna
way and his excellent assis
tants.

OBITUA RY
Little Walter flobbert Barren
tine, infant son of Rev. J. H. anc.
Mrs. Annie Barrentine, was
born on J uly 22nd 1902 and foi
only a few months was permitted
to remain in their home, -where
it was so fondly loved and car
essed by all the family. On the
22nd day of April 1903, God, in
his wisdom and goodness, saw
fit to take it from their home to
his mansion in glory. This is the
first link out of the family circit
and it makes your heart sad and
'onely. But to the bereaved, w«
bid you look up, for heaven has
another attraction for you and
one Sweet day if you hold out
faithful, God will call you to
your reward in glory, where yoi
will be reunited with your darl
mg’s angelical spirit and there
will be no aching hearts nor
roodbys there, but all will be jov
and peace for ever-more.
