“MONEY-BACK” TALK
We make a study of people’s wants who have to
buy what they eat.
If there is anything special you want, we are
pleased to get it.
We try to get new goods as soon as they are on
the market.
We watch the market constantly, buy where we
can get the cheaper price, and are, therefore, able to
give you the highest grade of goods, at reasonable
prices.
If anything we sell you is not satisfactory, we will
cheerfully exchange it, or pay you back your money.
We deliver everything to your kitchen just as
promptly as possible.
If you can think of something more we can do
which will enable us to please you more, we will gladly
do it.
Can any firm do moee by you than this? Do our
customers appreciate it?
THE FACT THAT OUR SALES IN JANUARY
WERE NEARLY FIVE TIMES THOSE OF JULY,
LEAD US TO BELIEVE THEY DO.
We appreciate every penny you entrust us with and
will ever stand ready to accomodate you in any manner
we can.

VINEYARD IS NOT BACKWARD.
Business of the People Moke
Important Than Campaigning
Will Be Too Busy To De
bate With Williams.
In a public letter, published in
newspapers of this county and in a
private communication, R. J. Wil
liams, candidate for prosecuting
attorney of this district challenged
•I. M. Vineyard to a series of joint
debates, a few days since. Mr.
Vineyard filed his reply with the
Daily World in which he practic
ally declares that he will be too
busy looking after the interests of
the people to enter any series of
joint debates for the purpose of
furthering his own popularity with
the voters of the district.
His letter follows:
Helena, Ark., Feb., 15, 1908.
Hon. R. J. Williams,
Forrest City, Arkansas.
My dear sir:—Yours of the
9th., stating that many people
have asked you to speak in their
neighborhood and that you could
not do so without first inviting me
to join you and also your request
that I agree with you upon dates
and places when and where we
may together present our claims
for the suffrages of the people,
further stating that I may arrange
the details of the speaking to suit
myself, was this day received. By
way of explanation will say that
your letter was not mailed until
today. Some time ago, at your re
quest, Mr. P. R. Andrews, the
present prosecuting attorney, in
order to devote his time to his
race for attorney general, had you
to act in his stead in the Circuit
Court of White County. He has
requested me to take his place in
the Circuit Courts of Woodruff
County, and I have accepted. As
you adopted this method of cam
paigning, it is now too late to
make any change. The court for
the Northern District of Woodruff
County will convene next Mon
day, February 17th and the Court
for the Southern District will con
vene on Monday, March, 2nd. I
do not know how long either of
these courts will hold and it is
more than probable that my time
will be fully occupied until the eve
ot election. However I will state
that you are at liberty to make
your own schedule and to speak as
often as you may desire.
Yours very truly,
J. M. Vineyard.
Some children are more prone to
show temper than others, and some
times on account of qualities which
are valauble in themselves. For
instance, a child of active temper
ment, sensitive feeling and eager
purpose is more likley to meet with
constant jars and ribs than a dull,
passive child; and if he is of an
open nature, his inward irritation
is immediadely shown in bursts of
passion .If you repress these ebul
litions by scolding and punishment
you only increase the evil by
changing passion into sulkiness.
A cheerful, good tempered tone of
your own, a sympathy with his
trouble, whenever the trouble has
arisen from no ill-conduct, are the
best antidotes; but it would be bet
ter still to prevent beforehand, as
much as possible all sources of an
noyance. Never fear spoiling
children by making them happy.
THESAne DONAQHEY
The press of the Btate is recalling
the words of one Jeff Davis a few
years ago when he was making a
public speech at Conway, Ark.,
when he used the following words:
“Excuse me ladies and gentle
men, but I want to refer to one
of your most distinguished citiz
ens. I want to refer to a man
who has stood lone-handed and
fought the biggest erang of bood
lers and thieves that ever invad
ed our state. He defeated the
$800,000 appropriation bill that
Caldwell & Drake tried t o
boodle through the last legis
lature and this man saved tax
payers of Arkansas hundreds of
thousands of dollars—I refer
to Honest George W. Donaghey.
* * He has made a gallant
fight against the Capitol steal.
Mr.Donahgey has saved the state
hundreds of thousands, and may
be millions, of dollars, to say
nothing of the shame and dis

j
grace that would attach to the
state of having the biggest scan
dal on American soil today.”
Of course Senator Davis would
not attempt to deny that his state
ment was true and is true today,
but we are just wondering if he
can find as good things to say about
Kirby when he stumps the state for
him. He can say some good things
about Kirby, of course, because
Kirby is a good man, but can he
say any better than he has said
about Donaghey.
Donaghey has a clean clear rec
ord and his race is practically won.
The fact that the other fellows are
jumping on him so much is evi
dence that he is regarded as a very
strong factor just now. What
they are digging up on him is only
helping him win the race. They
are advertising him. If you want
to know something about Dona
ghey, ask a Conway man, one who
has known him for the past twen
ty years. W« might say ask his
friends from Conway, but then
that would mean practically any
man, woman or child from that
place. His home record is the
best record any man has, and this
is helping Donaghey as much or
more than anything else.
He is the same man today that
he was when Davis made his
| speech at Conway. Davis knows

it and knows that Kirby would <

The fact is, when Donaghey takes >
his seat next January, he will be1

Let us see what a good printer
can do, and does do every work
ing day of his life: He takes a
manuscript, the chirography of
which would make the lid of a
Chinese tea-chest blush with envy,
translates it into the vernacular as
he goes along, corrects the spell
ing and the grammar, and very
often the rhetoric, and turns it
out—not as the author wrote it,
but as he intended to write it. He
sets up in type better English than
most men can write. He can de
tect errors of fact as well as of
style. He can give the sporting
iditor points on horses and the re
ligious editor on theology. He
;an appreciate the merits of a dis
suasion on the tariff, and detect
the fallacies in a profound leader
an economics; and he can do more
hard and intelligent work, if he
has to, than any other craftsman.
Too Late.
Too late! These are but two
simple little words, and yet they
often come like a wall of despair,
from lips white with untold an
guish, and a heart burdened with
bitterest sorrow, disappointment
and vain regret. Surely they find
a sad echo in almost every heart,
for no person can look back
through life, be it ever so short,
without finding many errors and
mistakes which, alas, it is “too
late” to recall. Those hasty, un
kind words, spoken in a moment
of anger to the dearest friend you
had on earth ; ah! you would give
years of your own life could they
be recalled. But you know that
cannot be, for the snows of many
winters have already whitened the
mound in the church-yard that
hides your lost darling from your
weeping, anguished eyes. So you
must go on to the end of life, bear
ing the remorse and grief those
words have cost you.
“Every heart kuoweth its own
bitterness;” so every heart must
bear its share of sorrow and re
gret for acts and words that it is
all “too late” now to recall. And
there are many different chords in
the human heart, that thrill to the
sad echo of the words “too late.”
Something pure and holy, like a
dream of heaven, at last may have
crossed the pathway, made dark
and shadowed by long years of
suffering and doubt, it may be a
sweet hope full of promise for the
future, a ^ord, a look, or even a
tone, at which you tremble and
sigh as you murmur, “Ah, if it
had been sooner!*’ but alas! it is
now “too late.” Then the weary
head droops lower, the tears fall
faster, as you crush back the bit
terness iu your heart, trying hard
to murmur, in all siucerety and
truth, “Thy will be done.”
