sweet sixteen she at once became

The voters of Jackson county ‘
would like to know how the two 1 [
other editors stand upon the gu- '
bernatorial race. No light upon 1
this all important question can ‘
be gleaned from a vigilant search ! 5
of their editorial columns. (
The Davis crowd are not so 1
well satisfied with the judgment
and impartiality of the Union
township committeeman in the j
selection of judges and clerks as ^
they professed to be and are now
kicking over. In the language
of Gratiano to Shylock we ex
claim, “Yea, a Daniel come to
judgment." i
__ r
There may be a number of t
good men in the race for mayor, c
It is generally understood that j j
Mr. Grubbs will be a candidate \
for re-election, and the names of \
several others are discussed, c
among them W. R. Thompson, j i
T. J. Watson. R. F. Drummond ; v
and J. H. McHugh. Only one 1
thing is certain, andjthat is, New- j Y
port will have a good mayor if
i selected from these gentlemen
| and worthy citizens.
“The Methodists at Newport
are making an effort to raise
money with which to purchase a
pipe organ. As a rule there are
a great many things a church
needs much worse than a pipe
organ. Generally a good c^se of
religion can accomplish more for
the cause of Christ than half a
dozen pipe organs.”—Batesville
Bee. Now, Editor Wilkerson,
this is not your time to “butt in.”
Your donation has not been solic
ited nor your approval asked, and
your fogy ideas about a church
organ discredit you as an oracle.
When Newport moves forward
she does not first have to ask the
consent of Batesville and her
censor.
To the many troubles of Gov.
Davis is added yet another. The
state pays $300 for the capture
of Lee King, a murderer of
Taney county, Missouri, who was
released by the governor of Ark
ansas in the face of a requisition
from the Missouri authorities.
To hp fair to .Tpff Ipf. thp rirrnm
stances be given. The attorneys
for King were Pace & Pace of
Harrison, pets of his excellency
and doubtless pardon agents for
the county of Boone, who repre
sented to the governor, so he
says, that King was wanted in
that county for a felony. There
fore the Missouri requisition was
forthwith refused and King,
against whom there was only a
petty misdemeanor charge in
Boone county, was released and
escaped. Had Gov. Davis re
ceived his information from offi
cial sources that King was wanted
for a felony in Arkansas, he could
not have been blamed in the
least for refusing the Missouri
requisition. But he did not.
rhough he had been outrageously
Juped by Fuller & James of Eu
reka Springs, or had been a party
fo their rascality in the Dr. John
son pardon, and with this decep
:ion fresh in his memory, he wil
fully disregarded the formalities
md safeguards established by
aw and custom and upon the
vord of the interested attorneys
)f the prisoner refused a requi
sition that gave a murderer his j
iberty. Why such haste, why j
such disregard of all official in-1
juiry unless the governor him
self be interested alike with paid
ittorneys in the escape of this
nurderer? But even granting
hat the governor believed King
vas wanted in Boone county for

hemselves and free a murderer
)y so despicable a violation of j

gratitude and deception to the !

Scrofula arises from poor, thin, watery blood. It can
not exist with pure, rich, red blood coursing through the
vems and arteries. In order to enrich and cleanse the
blood, the digestive organs must be stimulated and /toned
up so that they take the best from food, and the liver and
kidneys must be stimulated to carry away blood impurities.
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules cure scrofula by purifying the blood. All
tissues of the body are fed, maintained and cleansed by the blood. The
blood contains, at one time or another, everything which is about to be
come a part of the tissue and everything which has served its purpose,
Deen discarded and ceased to belong to them, thus it is both the scavenger
and the food-provider of every cell of the body.
