TWO RIVAL PRIMARIES
Poinsett County Democrats Wifi Hold
Dual Primaries On Same Date.
^ Harrisburg, March 21.—The
.irr.e ;s approaching for the

politics is all the talk. Follow
ing the recent act of a few com
mitteemen breaking away from
the regularly organized commit
tee, a call was made for a sepa
rate primary election to be held
in opposition to the regulars,
and therefore two primary elec
tions will be held in Poinsett
county on the same date and
both called Democratic.

Don’t Miss this One.
The old saying of theatrical
managers “Don’t Miss the Good
Ones’’ holds good next Friday
night when “A trip to Egypt’’
will be offered to our patrons as
a special gala night’s booking.
This is one of those fast and
furious musical comedies where
L .. x '
I
(the auditor’s time is consumed
with tuneful music, exilerating
comedy situations, handsome
costumes and all that go to make
up a real time killer and dispeller
of the blues.
‘‘A Trip to Egypt” to the
amusement seeker, is the same
as a cocktail to the thirsty or
divan couch to the weary. A
good old forget-yourself for two
and one-half hours, laughing en
tertainment and contains all that
I makes one feel that life is worth
living.
‘‘A Trip to Egypt” is served
for the blues in three doses:
First Act—smiles and hilarity,
i Second Act—applause and yells
| of delight. Third Act—simply
a pandemonium. Get in line
and be one of the early ones to
secure seats for one of the real
ones of the season.

Governor Did Not Draw Up Indictments
Against Boodlers as He Claimed
Upon Stump.
Little Rock, March 21—Prose*;
cuting Attorney Rhoton positive
ly denies the statement made by
Governor Davis at Prescott, Sat
urday night, that the chief ex
ecutive drew some of the boodle
indictments.
At that t;me the governor took
I to himself the credit for the brib
ery investigation, declaring that
he had drawn several of the in
dictments.
Mr. Rhoton says that the gov
ernor did nothing of the sort, j
and that each and every indiet
, ment was drawn by the prosecu
■ ting attorney.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of
the Eastacian Tube. When this
I tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, !
and when it is entirely closed,
i
dearness is the result, and un
less the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing
; will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by
i Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed Condition of the mucous
surfaces.
i We will give One Hundred;
I Dollars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.
I Send for circulars, free.

Contract for Sprinkling.
The sprinkling of the streets i
: of this city has never been done j
upon any systematic basis. One
man probably paid for a privil
ege that his equally able neigh-1
| bor also enjoyed, and to put all
; on the same footing, the water
'company this year proposes to
make contracts for the season
from April 16 to November 1
1 and to sprinkle only those blocks
j where the property owners or
j renters are willing to subscribe
for the service for that time.
And as stated, unless the people i
1 are willing to get together, there '
I 1 j 1 • 1_1 • 1

; whereas if all pay a proportion

I the season by subscribing to

I may be secured without the cost

Put $50 or $100
Into a Diamond
And it is like depositing tne
money in the bank. While
the diamond may not pay in
terest on the money, directly,
like the bank—it gives the
wearer a prestige that pays
dividends every day in the
year.
We aren’t afraid to have our
collection of diamonds com
pared with anything in the
country.
We know that we bought them
right, and can and WILL sell
them right.
We guarantee every gem we
handle. It will always turn
out to be exactly what we said
it was—and we state emphat
ically that you run no risk in
giving us your diamond
