Be a Booster.
Do you know there’s lots of
people
^ettin’ round in every town,
Growlin’ like a broody chicken j
Knockin’ every good thing*
down?
Don’t you be that kind o’grouch.
Cause they ain’t no use on earth.
You just be a booster rooster.
Crow and boost for all you’re
worth.
I
Ji your town needs boostin',
boost’er.
Don’t hold back and wait to see j
If some other fellow's willin’—
Sail right in, this country’s free.
No one’s got a mortgage on it,
It’s just yours as much as his.
If your town is shy on boosters,
You get in the boostin’ biz.
If things just don’t seem to suit
you,
And the world seems kinder
wrong,
What’s the matter with a
boostin’
Just to help the thing along.
'Cause if things should stop
a-goin’
We’d be in a sorry plight.,
You just keep that horn a-blow-!

A dispatch says: “Will Carle

left less than nothing. It was -
thought that he had been suc
cessful during his long career.”
Well, he was successful.

He has left us all a truer laugh

He has left us, preserved for

Brundidge. Hays And The key
\ note.
It stands to reason that the
opposition to Col. Brundidge is
grabbing at straws in a desper
ate effort to prejudice the vot
ers. when they resort to the un
derhand tactics of using the
foul and brainless effusions of
the Kensett Keynote as an in
dex to the sentiment of the hon
est yeomanry of this cihtin
guished candidate's home coun
ty.
It is simply a case of dirty
politics being used in the ab
sence of their own merits to
fool the people, whom they
know have long since made up
their minds as to how they shall
cast their balots on June 21.
The efforts of Judge Hays to
create the impression that
Judge Brundidge is discredited
by the newspapers of his home
county are nothing less than pit
iful and he will feel the reaction
of such cheap procedure later in
f Vi a nro m o
--o-—
The truth of the matter con
cerning the attitude of White
county newspapers toward
Judge Brundidge is simply this:
In this county there are six
newspapers published, viz: The
Searcy Citizen, the Searcy News,
the Beebe News, the Bald Knob
Eagle, the Judsonia Advance
and the Kensett Keynote, and
| of this number all of them with
' the exception of the infinitesi
mal Keynote are supporters of
Mr. Brundidge in this race as
! they were in his previous races.
All of these newspapers have
been published for a number of
years and know Mr. Brundidge
with the exception of the Key
1 note, which has been in exis
j tence about seven months, the
would-be editor drifting into
, our borders from Cabot, where
| he printed a “weakly” sheet for
a few months, or at least until
his hot-headedness incurred the
disfavor of Cabot business men,
which resulted in a boycott of
i
his business and his removal
from that town to Kensett. Im
mediately upon hitting White
I county soil this conspicuous
personage began a red-hot at
tack upon Judge Brundidge for
no other reason than the fact
that Mr. Brundidge refused to
defend his actions in the courts
after he grew into disfavor a
mong his home people, for cer
tain articles appearing in his
paper in which a young lady’s
name was used.
The editor of the Kensett Key
note is a disturber, a juggler of
facts, a misfit in newspaper
niaMug wno enjoys notoriety
from any source, he seeks to in
cite prejudice between individu
als and localities; he is immune
from damage suits for the same
reason that you can’t get blood
from a turnip; he does not pay
a cent to taxes in White county,
and is practically ignorant of
political, social or business con
ditions in White county, where
he has sought through bigotry
and selfishness to pose as a po
litical prophet and adviser, and
where he is known he is shun
ned, where he is unknown he
seeks to incite prejudice and
unrest through misrepresenta
tion. He is not personally
known by two hundred people
in White county, his attacks
upon Mr. Brundidge are prompt
ed by selfish and pecuniary mo
tives and he has published state
ments concerning him which
are falsehoods that can’t stand
the tests of the courts.
There are few of his ilk en
gaged in the newspaper busi
ness in Arkansas, we are glad to
say, and persons who are mis
led by his ballyhoo are those who
refuse to investigate both sides
of the question and ascertain
the filthy source from which the
malicious falsehoods emanate.

Resolutions of Respect.
Beedeville, Ark.,
May 8. 1913.
We, the members of Eight
* Mile Lodge, No. 474, I. 0. O. F.,
have been made to mourn over
the loss of one of our members
and brothers, in the person ot
Brother I. K. Long who depart
ed this life on the 18th day of
April, 1913 and whose mortal
remains we have consigned to
its last resting place on Satur
day, the 19th inst, at 2 o’clock
p. m. in the Martin cemetery.
And while we recall his virtues,
his temperament and the
good moral life which he lived,
we again renew our resolutions
to so live that, when we shall
have passed the Silent Portals,
our memories may be cherished
with grateful remembrance.
We. also learn to look upon
j death from a more elevated point
| of view and to see in it the wise
and necessary transition from
the trials and imperfections of
this world to the perfect Life for
i which our transient journey
’ here has been the schooling and
i preparation for the Real Life
beyond.
j Be it resolved that a copy ot
this be spread in our minutes, a
copy sent to the bereaved widow
and one sent to the county pa
per.
In humble submission we bow
our heads to the will of God,
who does all things well.
Fraternally Submitted.

says: “I have not had occasion
to use Doan’s Kidney Pills for
! the past three years, for the
' cure they made in my case has
1 been permanent. It gives me
i pleasure to recommend this rem
edy to other kidney sufferers.”
(Statement given April 14,
1911.)
Mr. Shelby was interviewed on
May 30, 1908 and he said “I be
lieve that the nature of my
work brought on my kidney
trouble. I had a constant back
ache and was also subject to
dizzy spells. The kidney secre
tions passed too frequently and I
knew that my kidneys were at
fault. Doan’s Kidney Pill? went
to the root of my trouble as soon
as I began their use and no one
but myself nows how grateful
I am for the cure they effected.”
