Arkansas On Trial.
In the present gubernatorial
contest in Arkansas the Mem
phis News-Scimitar says Arkan
sas is on trial, which is true, and
the opinion expressed by the
News-Scimitar is the one held
by the people everywhere out
side of the state.
, Gov. Davis is known in every
state in the Union as a dema
gogue of the most pronounced
type. He is not regarded as a
sincere man, and we of the state
of Arkansas know that he is not.
He utilizes everything upon |
which he can lay his hands to
1 further his political ambitions.
He has mixed politics into every
| thing at all under his control.
! He makes his campaigns nota
I ble for abuse. . He is not satis
fied with abuse for his direct
opponents for office, but sets j
himself up as a dictator to name
the nominees for other offices,
and abuses those he desires de- i
feated. It is true that Arkansas
is on trial, the News-Scimitar
very aptly stating it as follows:
i “The state of Arkansas is on
trial before the country in her
present election contest. What
will the verdict be? That de
pends on the people themselves.
! Gov. Davis is seeking the office
of United States senator, one of
the highest and most distin
guisnea positions in tne nation.
Senator Berry wants to succeed
himself. Davis’ campaign is one
| of abuse, vituperation and scan
| dal. Senator Berry preserves1
| the even and dignified tenor of j
1 his way. The people of Arkan
sas must choose between the
| two, and the result of their
| choise must determine their
status in their own eyes and in!
1 the eyes of the country. . It is j
! 'up to’ the people and they must
idecide.”—Pine Bluff Graphic.
Millinery Openings.
The millinery openings of Miss
Eva Graham and Mrs. Etta Mer
rill were largely attended Wed
nesday by the ladies of Newport,
who are always attracted by
such a pretty display of fine
millinery as was on exhibition at
these two places.
The display at each of these
millinery parlors was tastefully
arranged, and the addition of
cut flowers and trailing vines
lent beauty and fragrance to the j
occasion.
The $100 hat on exhibition at
Miss Eva Graham’s was a good
drawing card, and especially did
it attract the men, who could
not be induced to believe so
much could be expended on one
hat.
i Altogether the day was a j
profitable as well as pleasant oc
i casion.

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS,
as they cannot reach the seat of
the disease. Catarrh is a blood
or constitutional disease, and in
order to cure it you must take
internal remedies. Hall’s Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally,
and acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is not a quack
medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in
this country for years, and is a
regular prescription. It is com
posed of the best tonics known,
combined with the Dest blood
purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination of the two ingre
dients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing Ca
tarrh. Send for testimonials
