A Senatorial Tangle.
A curious senatorial tangle
exists in Maryland where, at the
recent general election Blain
Lee, democrat, was elected by
the direct vote of the people to
the seat occupied by the late
Senator Rayner. But. and here
is the complication—the seat is
already occupied by Senator
Jackson, republican, sitting by
appointment of the governor to
fill out the unexpired term of
Senator Rayner, deceased. The
complication arises from the
fact that the constitutional
- - - - _ _ . _ . ,
amendment by which senators
are elected by direct vote of the
people is silent as to when a man
elected to fill a vacancy, as in
this case, shall be eligible to
take his seat. In the absence of
any such direction the old law
under the old system of legisla
tive election of l nited Slates
senators must prevail. Under
this Senator Jackson may retain
his seat till January at least
when the legislature will meet.
What the legislature then will
do is problematical. Will it go
through the form of “electing”
Lee, who already has been elect
ed by the people? Or does the
assembling of the legislature
automatically end the term of
Senator Jackson? Meanwhile
Senator-elect Lee is very much
wanted in the senate now to
help enact democratic adminis-1
tration legislation.—Fort Smith
Times Record.

Agricultural Demonstration for
Jackson County.
Mr. -T. P. Hearst of Rolling
Fork, Miss,, the newly appoint
ed agricultural demonstrator re
cently appointed for Jackson
county, is in the city and in
company with Mr. R. C. David- j
son of Little Rock, cpecial agent
for the Department of Agricul
ture, is meeting the business
men and farmers in town today.
Mr. Hearst has seen four years
in government service and is
well up on all lines of the work.
He expects to begin a round of
the county giving advice to our
farmers and expects to pay es
pecial attention to the Boys’
ICorn Clubs, and will have at least
fifty demonstration farm over
the county.
The recent session of county
court appropriated one thous
and dollars for this purpose to
be added to five hundred offered
by the government to have a
special agent for Jackson Coun
ty. which was certainly a step in
the right direction.
Coon Meat For All.
Guion, Nov. lo.—There is no
meat famine now in Guion. In
spite of the fact that the town
sports no butcher shop, they are
well supplied. John Hennessey,
an old trapper, for the past week
has been camped here on the lit
tle island just below town, and
has been keeping the town in
coon meat.
Different report- tell of dif
ferent numbers he has captur
ed in a week on this little tow
head. Some say 17, others 12.
He has caught enough, anyway,
to afford coon meat to nearly ev
ery family in town. 4 hose who
were not lucky enough to get in
have been invited by the neigh
bors to partake ot the tooth
some roast, and the traveling
men have been well supplied at
the local hotel. The coon supply
on the towhead is giving no ev
idence of failing, for John
brought in two more this morn
ing.
Jackson county has been taken
out of the quarantine, which o
pens up Northern market.- to
cattle growers of that county.
Monroe county should make the
necessary effort to get the tick
quarantine raised, as it is at
present costing the farmers of
Monroe county about $4.00 per
head on each animal marketed
from this territory.—Brinkley
Citizen.

Runaway Accident On Street.
A very painful accident hap
pened to Miss Jane Rose, a
young lady living near Elgin,
this morning on Front street,
when the team hitched to a wa
gon in which she was sitting,
became frightened and ran for
a block or more, throwing her
to the ground, inflicting painful
injuries.
Miss Rose was carried to Dr.
Willis’ office, where her hip was
found to be badly dislocated. Dr.
Willis attended to the injured
member, but the patient will
not be able to be carried home
for several days.
The way to reckon the cost of
painting is to put both costs to
gether—the cost of paint, and
of putting it on.
It costs as much to put on one
paint as another; if you use as J
many gallons of one paint as an-1
other, the putting on cost is the '
same.
But if you use Devoe Lead- j
and-Zinc Paint you'll use less j
gallons by half or a third. Hun-j
dreds of cases prove that Devoe |
requires less gallons than any;
other paint for the same service.
Buy the name: Devoe.

[No. 2. Newport, Arkansas says:
“I suffered intensely from kid
ney complaint. I had what I
thought was'inflammation of the
bladder. The secretions from my
kidneys passed too frequently,
particularly during the night and
my rest was broken. I attribut
ed the trouble to the poor drink
ing water in this locality. Think
ing that Doan’s Kidney Pills
might help me, I used them.
They permanently rid me of the
trouble.’
Price 50c at all dealers- Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy
—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the
same that Mr. Willis had. Fos
