P.i i YVilkinswi for lax Assessor.
This week's issue carries the an
nouncement of Dan Wilkinson, of
Ssottland, for the office of Tax As- j
sessor of this county, subject to;
the action of the Democratic pri
mary in Warch.
Mr. Wilkinson was torn and
reared in Union'county and is a
splendid young man with high and
noble aspirations. His character
is above reproach, he is honest and
conscientious in all his dealings
and is popular with all who know
him.
He seeks the (ffne on his own
merits and ability, feeling that he
is ompetent in every way to mske
an Assessor that will meet every
i demand of the people. He will see
that every one’s taxes are assessed

not know the accustomed valuation
of property, thus preventing some
from paying on higher assessments
| than others, which is so often done.
His plain, courteous and easy
way of meeting people is winning
for him the respect and support cf
many and he promises faithful and
efficient service in every way if
I he is the choice of the voters and
; no man in the race will do more or
■ work harder to make good than he.
Remember his candidacy at the
proper time. —

I
j The News this week carries’ the
i announcement of W. S Lewis, of
Strong, for the office of road over
see of Lapile township subject to
the action of the Democratic pri
mary in March.

known to the majority of the voters
of this township as any man who
hves here having made this his
home nearly all his life. He held !
the office of road overseer of this
township for oyer three years once
before and in that time gained
much experience that fits him well [
to again fill the position. That he
made good when in the office
is a well known fact and he prom-1
ises to do his full duty toward the
people if again chosen to fill this
office. Bill Lewis knows how to
work the roads and asks your
support on his own qualifications
and will appreciate it by doing all
in his power to put and keep the
roads of Lapile township in the
shape they should be.

The Nhws this wenk announces -
Judge A. P. McMahon as a candi
date for the nomination of Circuit
and Chancery Clerk of Union coun
ty. subject to the action of the |
coming Democratic irmary.
Judge McMahon is no stranger
to the voters of Union county, hav
ing served two successful terms as
County Jud e, making a record
that is open for inspection to all.
He is especially well known in j
Lapile township, where he resided j
for five years before being elected
County Judge. He made the race
for this office four years ago being
defeated by the present incumbent,
and believes in two terms for faith
ful service, therefore has waited
until this time to again make the
race.
Judge McMahon is thoroughly
! qualified to fill the position to which
; 'ne aspires. Being well and suffi
1 ciently versed in r.he law he.is com
petent to handle and in every way
take care of the legal questions
necessarily arising in the Clerk's
office. There is no man better
qualified to look after the duties
calling for a man of experience and
knowledge of real estate, because ;
his record for making abstracts to
the title of lands is among the very
best, having the technical knowl-,
edge of the law. As before etated. j
he knows where the defects in
titles are and how they may be
cured without an expensive law
suit, and if elected the benefit of
this information will be given to
the people of this county. Then. |
as a clerical man he is second to
none in this county. Aside from
these three special qualifications,
namely: first, legal ability: second,
ability to abstract title to Ian s, and j
third, clerical ability. Judge McMa
hon is familiar with all of the duties
of Circuit Clerk, is capable, honest
and efficient to fill any ani all of
the duties imposed upon a Circuit
Clerk and will devote his entire
time and attention to the duties of
said office.
Judge McMahon appreciates the
support and the honor which the
Democracy of Union county con
ferred upon him when he was
elected to the office of County and
Probat Judge, and if the Demo-1
cratic voters see fit to honor him
by giving him the office of Circuit
and Chancery Clerk, he will en
deavor to make them the best Clerk
he is capable of making, thereby
showing his appreciation.
Hheumath Pains

stant Hunt's Lightning Otl is used.

as a healing oil. soothing the hurt
ing Darts and preventing soreness.
Nothing better for chilbhins. All

The first thing I did toward my
tomato crop was preparing the bed
to plant “he tomato seed in. 1 dug
down and made a bed one foot
deep, two feet wide and ten feet
long, mixing barnyard manure in it. I
I planted the seed on March 25th
and they were up about April 8th.

times with a fork before they were

a half cup at each hill where I put

plants in the garden, but left room
for one row of beans in the garden.
1 put some of the same kind of
fertilizer in it. and May 1st 1
planted them. I did no more work
until May 26th: I then hoed the
tomatoes and beans out. I pruned
the tomatoes by cutting the suck

or by rubbing them off. The next
day 1 had them plowed again.
June 2nd, 1 got the beans and
tomatoes stuck. 1 put pine stakes
four and one-half feet high at each
tomato plant and tied them up
three times to the stakes with rag

Do not overlook or neglect the
hen. Her business is a small u e,
it is true, but taken in the aggre
gate at the end of a year it is a big
thing to the farmers of Arkansas.
The hens arc not doing mu ;h now.
!t is their holiday as wall as ours.
The price of eggs is high and fresh
eggs are scarce.
The best way to get eggs is to
look after the hens a littie. See
that they get some meat scraps,
ground bone and oyster shells too.
if you can. The most important is
a green feed through the winter,
when there is no green feed. 1 he
way to make it cheap is to use
oats. Fill a tub or bucket nearly
full of oats. Pour warm water
over them and let stand all night.
Next day put a lav or of oats about
an inch deep on *n old burlap sack,
laid on top of some boards. Cover
over with another sack, and spread
on another layer of oats, and then
another sack, and so on until all
the oats are spread. Then wetihe
whole pile ev^ry day or two with
| warm waUr and keep in a warm
! place where it won't f 1007c m lit
I the uats sprout. When the npujn's
get two or three inches long, begin
to fsed to the chickens, and con
tinue as long as it'losts. You can
get the idea from this and devise
various methods along tho same
line to me )t your own convenience
in making oat sprouts.
You will find this to ho one of
the best and cheapest feeds for
i chickens that you can get. and it
wih cause the hens to lay earlier
land oftener. Remember that l
have some fertilizer and aifatfa
bulletins. You may have one if
you want it. The fertilizer season
i is now here, or will be in a few
weeks.
Right now is the time to br^ed
your sows. The pigs will arrive in
the spring when the weather is
mild enough for them to live and
thrive, and then as soon as the
grass is ready for pasturage the
pigs will be getting ready to eat
grass. Teey will grow fine then.
This is the best season of the
year lo breed the cows, loo, so the
calves will arrive next fall in gc. d
weather and get a good start be
fore winter comes on. Fall calves
are better than sp'iig calves.
Think it over and see if you do not
agree with me on this.
