Who pays the freight and who
foots the bills is ever an applica
ble question. But why not ask
who is putting up for Governor
Davis, as well as Wood and Van
deventer?

What think ye of Pugilist Jeff,
erstwhile called a coward, who
struck Judge Wood with his gold
headed cane while the latter’s
arms were pinioned by Hench
man Bourland? Bravo, Jeff!
How inconceivable is thy fear
lessness!

Governor Davis rides on Pass
A, No. 4, on the Cotton Belt, so
a reputable citizen of Paragould
has stated. But that doesn’t
keep Jeff from lambasting the
railroads and corporations,
though as a state official he is
prohibited from accepting such
favors.
...—- -♦ ...
Congressman Brundidge has
achieved special recognition, such
as is due his ability, in being
placed upon the house committee
on approp iations. He is known
as a working member upon the
minority side of the house, al
ways upon the lookout for the in
terests of his constituents, yet
honest, broad minded and pa
triotic in the promotion of the
— welfare and the defeat
of private and sectional grabs.
Governor Davis is reported to
have wept after the fight at
Hope because he had disgraced
his high office and the state
which had honored him. Tears
are often the outpouring of a big
heart; and if the governor had in
„ the past established a reputation
for sincerity and honesty they
would in a large measure con
done the offense in the eves of
the people. His record gives
them the coloring of the croco
dile’s.
Jetf, like Napoleon, is a strate
gist. Bonapart once said that to
be a hero in France one must win
a battle every day. And so with
Jetf, to maintain his spell of ad
miration upon his followers he
must frequently make some bold
bid for notoriety. He is not an
impulsive and quick tempered
man, for how often has the lie
been cast in his teeth un
answered, and upon no other
score than a sensation-craving
nature can the recent brutal at
tack upon Judge Wood be laid.
FOR SALE CHEAP.
One good full - top, double
seated carriage. Inquire at the
