WANTED ANOTHER HUSBAND.
Bad Break of Woodruff County Spouse
Who Sought to Marry Again
in Another County.
A couple giving their names as
J. W. Fry of Independence coun
ty and “Miss” Ida McFarlin
from White county, went to the
office of County Clerk Arnold
Tuesday morning and applied for
a marriage license, says the
Batesville Guard.
When Mr. Arnold asked wheth
er either of the parties had ever
been married the woman replied
that she had. Mr. Arnold then
asked whether she had been
granted a divorce, and she re
plied in the negative, stating,
however, that she had not seen
her husband “for more than a
year,” which she seemed tc
think would make her marriage
to^ ahother legal. Mr. Arnold
refused to issue the license and
warned the couple that they
were about to break into the pen
itentiary, and advised the woman
to apply to the court for a di
vorce. The woman then asked
if it would not be sufficient to gc
to another county and apply for
a license, but was advised not to
do so until she had secured a
divorce. Mrs. McFarlin stated
that her husband resides in
Woodruff county.
Candidate for Postmaster. ,
The present mayor, J. W.
Grubbs, on Wednesday began
the circulation of a paper en
dorsing his candidacy for post
master at Newport, to be pre
sented before the meeting of the
Republican state committee at
Little Rock in December. The
endorsement of the committee
will probably determine the ac
tion of the President.
Mr. W. B. Empie, present
postmaster, is not a candidate
for reappointment and Mr.
Grubbs will probably have no
opposition in his candidacy. This
leaves him a free lance in the
fight for the bigger plums, the
federal marshalships, bpt it is
generally understood that he
will support H. L. Remmel f or
that position in the eastern dis
trict. x

Opening of Campaign.
i In the announcement of Claude
| M. Erwin, as a candidate for
; prosecuting attorney of this, the
i Third judicial district, composed j
| of Stone, Independence, Jackson;
opening gun of the campaign in j
this county is hred, though in
most of our border counties the
political mix-up has been on for
several weeks.
The prosecuting attorneyship
| is a most important office, re
j quiring character and ability of
! its incumbent to protect impar
tially the interests of society and
the state, and in Mr. Erwin the j
Independent takes pleasure in
commending to the voters of this j
district a young man, who pos
sesses these qualities in a high i
degree.
Though young, his naturally j
bright mind has been trained in
hard study and several years’
practice in the courts. Of his j
character his good reputation j
does well speak, and we believe
him to be a man with courage,
and backbone, who would impar
tially yet courageously uphold
the law.
In the past few years men of'
stamina and courage have been
in demar&l by the people, and
their good work has been vindi-;
cated by endorsement and eleva-1
tion to higher trusts. And we
feel safe in saying that if Mr.
Erwin is elected he will make
that type of official. He belongs
to a good Jackson county family,
is of a pleasant and sociable turn
of disposition, and a loyal Dem
ocrat, who will make a strong
candidate.

be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive remedy now known to
the med-ical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re-;
