FROM THE BALD KNOB HERALD.
We notice that our friend and
school-mate. E. C. Kramer, is in
the race for representative of
j Woodruff county. We would be
! glad to hear of his success, for
we know the honor could be be
stowed on none more worthy.
At college, away from the re
straining ties of home, is said to
be the time that tries the princi
ples born in a boy. In Nashville
j he was the same Kramer that
| you know him now, sober,
J Christian, diligent and persever
ing in his work. We were proud
j to claim him from Arkansas for
he was worthy representative
! of our State at college where
j state spirit and pride are so
j high, and state lines are
! jealously drown.
Dr. M. J. Barlow.
so
i The News i ; authorized to an
nounce Hon. Eugene Parrish, of
! Jonesboro, as acanckdnj'o for con
gress. We had the pleasure of
hearing h:s speech p w, .asta
last wet a and .luepiug from ]j*s
manner of oratory, which is in
tensely eloquent and entertain
ing, wo cencluck i hat if he is
the people's choice, he trill sing
the i>raises of ‘Arkansas in con
gress until some of our defhmers
will hide their faces in shame.
Mr. Parrish is a scholar of the
highest attainments: he is as con
versant with the growth, and
progress, the rise and fall of all
the nations of the earth, as a girl
is with her dolls. Be has undoubt
edly been a close student of gov
ernental principles and the
growth from despotism to free
dom and liberty; from the divine
right of kings t o American inde
pendence. If Mr. Parrish is the
people’s choice, we have no hesi
tancy in saying that the honor
and interest of Arkansas will be
in safe and competent hands.

THE PIKE.
On last Thursday morning, be
tween the hours of five and six
o’clock, our little city was awak
ened from slumber by an alarm
of fire. Upon investigation, we
found that some worthless,
sneaking scoundrel had gathered
the oily waste packed in the box
ing of the railroad cars and had
gone to J. D. Johnson’s gin and
had begun the devilish of work
of setting fire to that gin. H. T.
Raney saw the blase at his home
and at once gave the alarm. The
timely arrival of neighbors with
buckets and water saved the gin
from ashes. A thing (we cannot
call it a man) that will be so un
principled as to set a man’s pro
perty on tire will not shrink from
anything. Such a viper should
be unceremoniously sent to its
eternal doom.

Some of the boys are talking
about going to see their kins
folk this week. We wonder
what they want to go off now for.
Notice: $5.00 reward will be
given to any person that has
read, and understood thoroughly
the meaning of the article that
was headed “More Prom Tip”
last week. If you haven’t read
it, read it If j ou have, read it
again. Its rich (?)
While playing last Saturday,
little Lee Caudle fell upon an ax
and cut his forehead, which bled
profusely for a while, but the
doctor was summoned and it
was soon stopped. It is improv
j ing fast at this writing.
We were very much surprised
last week when we saw' the “lit
tle” article from the “Big Law
yer,” for he had been going far
and near informing the readers
of the News that he had fixed
the correspondent, and didn’t
think that he could ever “com
pute” with such an article unless
he would “liliate” with people
who knew better how to “dis
play” their education than he.
Speaking of one “displaying”
their education, but if our friend
didn’t make a grand “clisplaj^” of
his last wee!: we don’t know who
could. He speaks of our great
imagination, but never once
thinks of his own, and signed
his name “The Big Lawyer”
when he is only one very sorry
tie-hauler. He also speaks of
“this cheering” of one that has
only a third grade. (We don’t
know what he means by this ex
pression.) Anyhow, he never
thought that it was better to
hold a third grade and have a
good position and the brains to
push it along, than it is to hold a
boasted second grade, and sit
around some little country store
and worry some poor little mer
chant nearly to death making
tires or worse of all, not to be
able to get any grade at all and
then to sit around some line sa
loon in a little town of about one
hundred inhabitants and 1 dilate”
(as he calls it) with any kind of
people, and try to spit out such
big words that they can’t all get
out at once, (and not the right
ones when they do get out.) All
the time calling himself “The
Big Lawyer from Tip, ” and talk
ing of making speeches—some
thing he was never known to do.
At present the second grade
man is running for road over
seer and praising the richness of
the “Lawyer’s” article. The
third grade “kid” is striving
hard to grow “taller.” The giant,
the whale among minnows, that
has no grade at all, is running
for school director, hauling ties
and talking politics. He said
that we might make an editor,
there’s one thing sure, he’d
never make one if he were to live
always. Verily, some tie-haulers
have great imaginations, call
themselves “Big Lawyers” and
write “long” articles to news
papers without any punctuation
or meaning at all.
[Sifted.] “The Kid.”

Horace Gowan says if he had
; known the winter wTas going to
! be so hard he would have made
“romantic” preparations, as he
would rather be in hot water
; part of the time than to freeze all
| the time.
j Leonard Patterson while sit
ting on an icy roof trying to nail
' shingles in the snow said he had
| to grit his teeth to keep them
, from popping, but the truth was
I he had eaten so many “navy
I sixes” he could not work but
! wanted to draw full pay just the
I same.
Grays is a tine place to live.
The climate, while not exactly
agreeable to natives of McCrory,
being rather cool, yet it is regu
lar (apparently the year round)
the mercury standing still most
of the time, but by building a
fire under it, it will start up
spas mod icaly like the farmer’s
balky horse, when he was haul
ing hay. Just for enough to
leave the fire under the load of
hay, which, with the wagon went
up in smoke.
Young ladies returning from
the Klondyke will be interested
in learning that Galen Patterson
is a first class cook. He can be
found at the “Angelo Hotel” at
Grays. His biscuits have rather
i a sallow complection and some
times rather annoying “birth
mar ks.’’Barry Walker says itis so
da but Gale says soda is white and
his coffee reminds one of the peo
ple of McCrory, it will nob settle
promptly and looks black if you
ask for a settlement. “But ex
cept’in’that he is the best of
cooks.”
This place boasts of the most
hopeful chicken in the county.
They do not wait to starve but
hustle to make a living. Mr.
Knowlton has a hen that has
been setting on a barrel of corn
cobs since last December, but
owing to the backward season no
corn has sprouted yet, but she
still hopes for a full crop in due
season. And while speaking of
chickens, anyone wanting a good
strong breed of fowls would do
well to keep an eye on this same
Mr. Knowlton wTho has a hen
that set on a basket of onions for
three months and never hatched
a young’un but if any do hatch
they will undoubtedly be the
strongest in the county.
