Humphrey, so it is now report
ed, has decided not to make the
race for Attorney-General of
Arkansas.
The assination of President
McKinley should call the atten
tion of the people to the fact that
we should exterminate everyone
who would destroy law and
order by murdering our leaders.
Some people imagine that all
anarchists are foreigners. This
is not true. The greater part
are native born Americans but
who have no love of God, no love
of country, no love of self. They
are the drugs or nonenities of
the better elements.
Carrie Nation says she is in
sympathy with the anarchists.
To a mixed audience she recent
ly expressed herself as being
pleased with the shooting of the
president and hoped he would
die. The old hag is capable of
doing most anything anyway.
This has always been our idea of
aunt Carrie.
With the last issue, the Wood
ruff County News, published at
McCrory with G. W. Kramer,
editor, was enlarged to a five
column quarto. It presents a
very neat appearance and re
flects much credit upon its pub
lishers. Gus Kramer has many
friends in Russellville who will
rejoice at his success.—Russell
ville Record.
TOO WELL KNOWN.
Some people get it into their
heads that theyare so well known
that they need no advertising.
They are sincere in their belief
and it is a waste of time to argue
with them, for you can’t convince
them. But did you ever notice
where the new men in business
get their trade from? It is these
self same well known men in
business from whom they must
draw their trade. In order for
an old established firm to hold
its business they must keep pace
with their younger and more
progressive competitors who
keep their name continually be
fore the public. Don’t imagine
for once that The Sentinel be
comes disgruntled because a
business man tells us that he
doesn’t need advertising on ac
count of his firm being so firmly
establised and so well known.
We only feel sorry for them,
for we fear that we see their
finish.—North Little Rock Senti

A BLOW AT EVERY CITIZEN.
William McKinley has been>
killed at the hands of an assas
sin for no other reason than that
he was the president of the
United States, and as such the
executor of the people’s will.
President McKinley was an:
important international figure in
the politics of the world, and has ;
exerted great influence in shap
ing the policies of the nations.
Although we may have differed
widely in our political views in
regard to some of the policies
and measures, we, in the south
esteem him us a great and good

man. The tributes which have
been paid, and are yet being paid
the martyred president through
out the entire south, throughout
the entire United States and
throughout the entire world, in
main expresses the genuine es
teem in which he is held.
But now that our Chief Execu
tive has been stricken down—a
kindly, Christian gentleman,
holding his exalted position by
the grace of all the people,—the
least impulsive citizen must con
cede that it is time to call a halt.
An adequate punishment of the
severest kind should be pro
vided.
In the minds of thinking peo
pie, the time time has come that
the people of this country must
adopt repressive measures of
the most drastic character. How
such a monstrosity as anarchism
can live and thrive in the United
States, the freest and best of all
governments, in this country
which has been the asylum of
the oppressed of all nations, is a
fact stranger than fiction. An
archy means simply “without
rule.” But in the United States
there is absolutely no excuse for
anarchy.

Whatever else may be said of
anarchy it cannot be denounced
by the northern press as a
“southern outrage.” The deed
was done in the north by a north
ern man. Anarchism is not
known to exist in the south; if
known it would not be tolerated.
The southern people believe
in free speech and free press
and the widest exercise of per
sonal liberty, but had the at
tempt been made to assassinate
the president in any one of the
southern cities through which he
passed, the assassin would not
have lasted longer than a dyna
mite bomb in a red-hot furnace.
No meagre police force could
have protected the coward from
the outraged populace.
IN MEMORIAL.
Willie Bishop, son of Mrs.
Sallie Bishop died at his moth
er’s home east of McCrory Sun
day, August, 11, 1901 at 5 a. in.,
after an illness of four days,
leaving behind to mourn for him
a mother, two sisters, three
brothers and a host of friends.
Burial took place at the Good
Hope cemetery August 11, at 4
p. in.
Deceased was born in the state
of Mississippi, December, 19,
1867. His parents removed to
this state when he was only
three years old, where he spent
the remainder of his life, the last
six years being spent in this
county.
Willie was an accommodating
useful young man. Always will
ing to lend a helping hand where
ever he could. He was a kind
brother, an affectionate son.
We miss thee from our home hear brother,
We miss thee from thy place
A shadow o'er our life is east.
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand.
Thy fond and earnest care.
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
Peaceful he thy silent slumber.
Peaceful in thy grave so low;
Thou no more will join our number.
Thou uo more our sorrows know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee.
When the day of life is fled,
And in heaven with joy to greet thee.
Where no farewell tears are shed.
A Friend,

Public school will close next
Friday.
Prof. Lovejoy vizited at Wheat
ley Saturday and Sunday.
A bench accidently fell on Ola
Quillin’s foot at the school house
Monday night and mashed it
very badly.
Quite a cooling rain visited
us Monday night which laid the
timber business in the shade and
stopped cotton picking.
Esq. Winfree’s court was in
session Saturday. The'object
of the trial was to get pay for a
wagon of Mr. Hartsell’s, which
has for two or three months been
going in and out of the bayou as
often as the boys thought it nec
essary. W. D. Tucker, one of
Tip’s biggest and ablest lawyers,
defended the case, while Squire,
Angelo helped Mr. Winfree.i
Mr. Hartsell also made a speech '
in his own behalf, in which he |
stated that the bayou had fallen
fifteen feet while his wagon was ,
in the bayou. In fine, it was a
very warm trial from what we1
learn, but the boys beat the case
and Mr. Marsel] had to pay the
cost. This cost would go very
hard with him if they were all as
anxious for it as ope of the jury
men was. We suppose he want-!
ed a sack of Hour so he could
have biscuit Sunday morning
and therefore called for his
money before he returned the
verdict. As this is the second
and not the last trial, we will try
to be at the next one and give
you all the particulars.

broken and like spoilt children

Mrs. Ball and son Luther of
near Hickory Ridge were down
Sunday. While here they called
to see us and seemed greatly in
terested in our school.
Our town was honored last
week by the presence of its
founder Jacob Mortenson, of
Memphis, who spent a pleasant
day with the family of Mr. and
Mrs. T. D. Ruffin.
It seems that Pumpkin Bend

been reached.

W. A. Wright, the timber man
of the Fakes Mill Co., picked up
his saw and walked out of the
woods Friday to return no more.
Born: To Mr. and Mrs. S. J.
Harden of Fakes a fine boy.
Mother and child doing well,
while Sam is hardly able to work.
Mrs. C. L. Crail has returned
to her home at Fakes after an
extended visit among relatives at
Murphysboro, 111. She reports
having had a nice time.
The mill is still running, but
owing to the scarcity of cars and
the local demand they are getting
blockaded with timber. The
late rains have caused the teams
to quit hauling logs.
Mrs. Harry Morton of Pine
Blulf, who has been visiting her
brother, Mr. Alexander of this
place, will return home this
week. Messrs. Cain and Raney
were over at Augusta on busi
ness Tueeday.
Read our adds. It will do you
