IVE RACES
GET ATTENTION.
Id be a mistake to as
i'e that the Democratic voters
Arkansas are not paying due
mtion to the personnel of the
next general assembly,” said a
.prominent “looker-on in Vienna”
yesterday, discussing State poli
k tics in a group at the state house,
the Little Rock Gazette:
IfIjbeen over the state some,
last few weeks, and I find
hat lie gubernatorial race is by
0 means overshadowing the
uestion of legislative represen
tation. The issue as to whether
it shall be a Wood or Davis legis
lature is sharply drawn, and
there are other questions enter
ing. into the matter. Several
years'a^go the people of Arkansas
determined that a new state {
capitol shall be erected, and they i
have since elected a majority of!
‘pro-capitol members, with the:
result that their wishes are being j
carried out and the work of
\ building the new capitol is in
progress. I predict that the
Thirty-fifth general assembly
will not undo the work along
1 't.dine. Another subject which
' being overlooked is that of
-p hoard of nardons. In
of the counties that is be
ag made an issue, and it is un
doubtedly meeting with favor.
It will be remembered that in
the last legislature the house
passed a bill for a board of par
ions, but it slept in the senate,
me of the ablest lawyers state,
eluding Judge U. M. Rose,
pronounced it a constitutional
measure. Another issue is the
abolishment of the new chancery
districts. All these questions
jtog agitated vigorously in
of the counties, and no
they will figure materially
-- proceedings of the assem
jxt winter. Some of the
'st men of the state will be
legislature, and it is safe
jet that the weighty ques
of the present campaign
j considered and disposed
a manner comporting with
importance."
NT NEW COURT HOUSE.
s final report the Chicot
'grand "jury says: "We
examined the court
• rd find it in an unsafe
^ and a disgrace to the
.on of Chicot county, and
„ xihend earnestly and vigor
>ly that the authorities pro-’
,eed with as much alacrity as j
possible to erect another and one
commensurate with the wealth
and dignity of the county.”

Time With Him.
Monticello, March 16. —Nearly

BEARDED LION
IN HIS DEN.
Judge Wood Spoke at Beebe, and
Later a Doctor Defended
Davis On Street.
Beebe, March 16. — Judge Car
roll D. Wood spoke to a fair
sized crowd at the opera house
at this place last night, ladies be
ing largely in attendance. Judge
Bourland was to be on hand, but
owing to a previous appointment
for a speech elsewhere he could
not come. Dr. Will Abington of
Argenta was chosen to reply to
Judge Wood, but before the
judge concluded his speech the
proprietor of the house found
that the floor was about to give
way under its burden, and the
crowd dispersed without stam
pede. The audience gave Judge
Wood good attention. Later Dr.
Abington edified a Davis crowd
on a street corner and his re
marks aroused some enthusiasm,
particularly his allusion to the
Cummins farm as a health resort.

THE LAST LEGISLATURE
passed a law permitting TRUST COMPANIES to act as administrator,
executor, or receiver of any estate, guardian or curator of any infant or
insane person, agent for any corporation or indiviual, agent for
married women in the management of their separate estate and
to execute any trust placed in their hands by the courts,
We have complied with the provisions of this law and with our large capital
of $100,000 and conservative board of directors we are better equip
ped to handle this class of business than any individual. The
business career of any individual is short, besides by neglect or
dishonesty your property may be wasted. The TRUST
COMPANY will live on forever and always be on
hand to give your business honest, careful attention.
