Mr. Ground Hog must surely
have seen his shadow on this j
second day of February.
--
For forty days must wintry:
blasts, sleet and snow disturb
the serenity of a sunny South
land, all because that ground hog
saw his shadow.
...» ♦—.—
From every township in Jack
son county, those in attendance
upon court bring word of a strong
turn in sentiment against Jeff
Davis. The end of this unscru
pulous politician, who has for
several years hoodwinked many
of our best citizens by his fair
words and promises, is near at
hand.

The Poplar Bluff Citizen, speak
ing of the demise of one of its
contemporaries, says: “The Pop
lar Bluff Daily Democrat turned '
its toes to the daisies, folded its '
lily white hands upon its breast,
closed its eyes and shuffled off
this mortal coil this morning and ‘
the Democrat is now lying in the j
same sacred lot in the graveyard
of oblivion as the Sentinel and
Journal.”
■ .i»r , •+. ——•
The ground hog has never had a
better chance to see his shadow
and if he didn’t take fright and
beat his retreat for forty days it
was probably because he had
taken up with this modern idea
of dieting, which together with
hibernating habits had so re
duced his flesh that his lean form
could hardly command a sem
blance of a shadow, even in old
Sol’s noonday rays.

The governors’ race seems to
have narrowed down to a con
test between a Little Rock ring
of silk stocking politicians and
the common, every day, hard
working taxpayers of the state,
the former being represented by
Judge Wood, and the latter by
Gov. Davis. Wood represents
the classes and the governor the
masses, so if the voters will turn
out on March 26, there is no
question as to the result. — Jack
sonville Siftings.
This is rank enough to have
come from the governor himself,
instead of a genuine “squirrel
head.’’ There are “silk stock
ings’’ in every state and such
fancied arristocrats in their shal
low vanity weaken any cause
they become parties to. But
such is not the issue in Arkan
sas. Judere Wood is a man.
sprung from the common people
who earned his education and
achieved his distinction unas
sisted by the influence of family
or prestige of wealth. He ap
peals to no specific class for their
support, alleging the hatred of
another. He has none of this
taint of demagoguery about him.
He would rather go down in de
feat than resort to tactics, which
create bitterness and animosities
between a common citizenship
and tend to disrupt our govern
ment. Not brilliant, but honest;
not crafty, but capable, he stands
in admirable contrast to our
present governor, whose low con
ception of honor and official re
sposibility make every act sub
servient to his political ambition.

The following letter is publish
ed through the kindness of Sena
tor 0. N. Killough, to whom it
was written, says' the Wynne
Blade-Exchange:
“Washington, Jan. 1, 1904.
“Dear Killough—Your kind
letter is received and I assure
you that I appreciate it. I am
gratified by what you think is
the feeling over the gubernator
ial situation in Arkansas. I am
very anxious that Arkansas shall,
if possible, be freed from the
shame and disgrace of having
such a creature as Davis in that
office. I confess that I have no
especial regard for Wood, but he
is infinitely preferable to that
scandal-monger, Davis.
“I am poor, trying to earn a
living, and I am satisfied to do
this for the remainder of my
time. A shall always gratefully
remember my friends, and I
have no complaint against those
who thought the state could be
better served by another. I
shall always be ready to do any
thing I can for the interest of
the state or my friends, but I
will never embarrass my friends
by any candidacy of mine again.
“Please remember me very
kindly to such friends and ac
quaintances as feel interested in
my welfare.
“For myself, my chief regret
is that I do not see any way of
jarning a living at home and
:hat I must remain here for the
present to get employment. I
im working at my profession and
im making a living by hard
vork. I hope after the supreme
:ourt adjourns to be at home,
ind if I can help toward the res
oration of decent politics I will
)e into it the full length of my
•able tow. Yours very truly.

THELMA EAGLE DEAD
|
i Injuries Received While at Play
Last Saturday Proved Fatal
To Niece of Ex-Governor.
Lonoke,Feb. 1.—Thelma Eagle,
the 9-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Joe P. Eagle, died at
noon Sunday from injuries re
ceived Saturday afternoon while
at play. The little girl and a
number of girl and boy friends
were in the school house yard,
near her home, playing house.
She was the cook and was cook
ing on a small toy stove. In
some way her clothing caught
fire, and though the little boys
tried to catch her and roll her
over to extinguish the flames,
she broke loose and ran scream
ing around the school yard.. As
she came around the house she
was caught, and the flames ex
tinguished. Her clothes were
nearly burned off, but her per
son was burned very little. She
was taken to her home, where
all that medical skill could sug
gest was done, and it was
thought she would recover. It
developed, however, that she had
swallowed some of the flames.
| Death resulted from this.
The funeral was held this
afternoon.
The little girl was a grand
daughter of Col. W. H. Eagle of
! Little Rock and a niece of Ex
: Gov. Jas. Eagle.

Scrofula arises from poor, thin, watery blood. It can
not exist with pure, rich, red blood coursing through the*
veins and arteries. In order to enrich and cleanse the
blood, the digestive organs must be stimulated anx£* toned
up so that they take the best from food, and the liver and *
kidneys must be stimulated to carry away blood impurities.
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules cure scrofula by purifying the blood. ' All
tissues of the body are fed, maintained and cleansed by the blood. The
blood contains, at one time or another, everything which is about to be
come a part of the tissue and everything which has served its purpose,
been discarded and ceased to belong to them, thus it is both the scavenger
and the food-provider of every cell of the body.
It is as important that the worn-out particles and Impurities of the blood
be removed as that new and wholesome material be provided, for the presence
of the one poisons the tissues, and the lack of the other starves them.
For over 40 years Johnston’s Tonic Capsules have been held in high esteem
as a most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism, eczema
old sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh scurvy
boils, liver complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidney troubles and
a long list of common ails and ills.
We have great confidence in this medicine, a confidence born of many
years experience with it, and we make the following extraordinary offer:
Send us a dollar for a large box of Johnston’s Tonic Capsules, or buy the same
ofdealer whose name appears below, use half of them, and if you are not
satisfied, mail the balance to us and we will return your money Test them at
