DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVEN-
TION.

ocratic party of the state of Arkansas

Little Rock on Thursday the 22d

tor the purpose of nominating a can-
didate for the office of supreme judge
of the state to be voted for at a spec-
ial election to be held at such time as

It was further resolved by the com-
mittee that the basis for representa-
tion shall be one delegate for every
200 votes and for every fraction of
200 of 100 or over cast for Wm. M.
Fishback Democratic candidate for
Governor 1892; provided that each
county shall be entitled to at least one
delegate.
It was further resolved that the
committee recommend that the town-
ship meetings be held on Saturday
the 3rd day of June and the county
convention be held on Saturday the
10th day of June 1893.
Now therefore in pursuance of the

In testimony whereof I have here-
unto attached my hand this the 13th
day of April 1893.
J. W. House Chairman.
Attest: W. J. Terry Secretary.
Cyclones aud railroad wrecks aie
developing au unpleasant disposition
to become epidemic this spring.
Bibmark still seems to be the big-
gest man in Germany notwithstand-
ing the Kaiser’s efforts to overshadow
him.
There seems to be some doubt as
to the exact nature of the gathering
of the republican mourners at Louis-
ville. Some call it a wake others a
funeral.
Too much hurry
Too much worry;
He lives best
Who knows how to rest.
$6000 a month has been saved in
the expenses of the administration of
the Pension Office during the two
months it has been under democratic
control just by cutting off little ex
travagauees.
It is no disgrace to hold office or
to try to get office; but there are men
in office who seem to have so thorough-
ly forgotten come of the methods they
adopted to get there that they would
have you believe they think the lat
ter very disreputable.
Will somebody kindly explain
what good can be accomplished by
protesting against the Russian ex-
tradition treaty now? It has gone
into effect and if experience proves
it to be obnoxious then will be the
time to take steps for its abrogation.
There is a place in life for every
man and he who is worthy finds It.
Failures are more numerous than
successes when in early life the young
will neither read or study. The men
and women entitled to place position
and power get there by sheer force.
The men and women of brains who
are able to plan contrive think and
put it to execution are neither born
nor made they make themselves. Au I
idle indifferent boy or girl
'is very apt to carry those
characteristics into the fulll
flood of life and to prove a miserable •
i failure. Youth is the seed time .of ’
life and “as they sow so shall they
| also reap.”—Ex.
Having heard the claims of about
every applicant for a Presidential ap-
pointment either from the applicant
or from his friends uobodys interests
are injured by the Presidents deter-
mination to grant no more personal
interviews to applicants for office.
It is intimated that Gov. Fishback
Will be a candidate for United States
Senator. Not knowing what his in-
tentions are we can only say it he
enters the field it will cause some
man much loss of sleep to defeat him.
—Herald Journal
We concur in the above and add
that Arkansas might not do better
than to send the Sebastian county
Statesman to Washington D. C.—
Malvern Times-Herad
The Democrat has no objection to
calling him Senator Fishback.
It is stated on good authority that
New York and Ohio have more Fed-
eral offices than all the South put to-
gether. There is no valid reason why
this should be so. Each party has
made these states the battle ground
for existence in several presidential
elections and the Republicans to
maintain their position in them have
drawn on the offices that justly be-
longed to other sections. As an hon-
est party now has control of affairs
we maj’ expect a readjustment in the
distribution of Federal offices. The
South should certainly come in for
her fair share in this readjustment.
TEACHERS. BEWARE.
The Teachers’ Quarterly is a pa-
per edited by 11. B. Skyles a negro
school teacher holding a 2d grade
certificate at Morrillton and sold to
the white teachers of Arkansas for
50 cents. L. Gordon is furnishing
the money and they are flooding the
country’ with circulars advertising
this work which they claim will en-
able teachers to pass the June exam-
ination in sectionizing land. This is
the same negro who some time ago
was 14 times indicted for running a
whiskey dive at Morrillton and serv-
ed out his tines on the county farm.
This is a slick scheme to catch the
unsuspneting teachers Pope County
Mail.

Hood’s Cures
Owe all My Health to It

Mrs. S. If. Waters

•‘I have often seen statements from people
benefited by Hood's Sarsaparilla and I feel
that I am not doing justice unless my tes-
timony is added. I have been suffering with
sick vomiting spells for three or four years
with giddiness most of the time almost per-
fectly prostrated. I had no appetite and suf-
fered also with neuralgia In my head and eyes.
I was treated for two years by the best physi-
cians but found no relief. They would tell me
my condition was
Owing to my Age
and that I must have patience. But after two
years I though patience ceased to be a virtue.
I was growing so weak I could not sleep at
night And when I was able to go out I was
afraid to go fnr from home. I was con-
stantly tired; I could not go up or down stairs
or raise my arms above ray head without gid-
diness and was so afraid to look up that I be-
came accustomed to holding my head down.
At Last
I was persuaded to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla
aniLalter using four bottles my Improvement
in health is wonderful. I candidly believe I
am cured of nil my ailments. My appetite
Is good can eat at any time am free from neu-
ralgia and other troubles. I never felt «o
well or was as stout as now since I was mar-
ried and I am mother of nine children. I

friends ask what has made such an Improve-
ment I tell them I owe It all to

THE NEW YORK
FAMILY STDRY PAPER
FOR ISOtL
PROSPECTUS.
In beginning the eighteenth year of its successful career it is with unfeeling of just
pride that the publisher of the
New York Family Story Paper
states that this great journal has double the circulation of any family story paper in the
world. This claim which its competitors are invited to investigate can easily bo verified.
The pre-eminence thus acquired can be achieved only by merit. The
.leading public will buy that paper which best satisfies their desire for stories of the high-
est literary merit and most interesting character. And the enormous circulation of the
New York Family Story proves that it has done this.
All the Great Features of the Paper
to which it owes its success of the past will bo zealously guarded in tho coming year. Its
distinguished staff of authors among whom may bo mentioned Mary Kyle Dallas Nellie
Bly Abi 8. Jackman Chailotte M. Kingsley ‘'Girlie” May Emma Garrison Jones Char-
lotte M. Stanley T. W. Hanshew K. Burke Collins and others equally famous will be re-
tainad its artistic excellence maintained its beautiful typographical appearance preserved
and the same judicious editorial supervision exorcised to keep the tone of the paper as pure
and moral as it has been from its inception.
No Expense of Time or Money-
will bo spared to add new and attractive features. Standing as it dies like a beacon light
above all its contemporaries the New York Family Story Papoa cannot help attracting to
Its columns all that is brightest and best in modern fiction.
IT IS THE FAMILY PAPER.
