The Searcy Citizen has barred
sill talks about styles and cloth
ing from its columns, even the
suffragettes are tabooed in this
warm weather, beacuse they
would clothe the women with
"he ballot.
The average man’s idea of e
«conomy is to preach it to his
wife.—Rogers emocrat.
And the average woman’s idea
is to pay no attention to any
thing her husband preaches.—
Arkansas Gazette.
And the average husband has.
no right to expect her to pay any
attention to anything he preach
es.—Batesville Guard.
And the average fellow don’t.
He’s a young husband who he-1
lieves in the power of his own
preachments.
Even the election hasn t set
tled it- Governor Hays’ friends
assert that he received the larg
est majority, considering the
vote, ever polled by the Demo
cratic nominee. His opponents
say that the 53,000 Democrats
who voted for Hays can’t read
out of the party the 70,000 Dem
ocrats who stayed at home.
There is only a brief interim be
tween campaigns and the coming
spring brings on another prima
ry. With the brightest pros
pect in many years for bumper
crops and prosperous business,
politics ought to be a discarded
subject.
T'
Eugene Williams of Forrest i
City says banking and politics I
don’t mix, and the Lee County)
Courier immediately rises to j
inqu j
switching of the Phillips county f
vote for Hays cost Gene, any-;
way? The Courier suggests that ;
it comes high to elect U. S. sen- j
ators and governors.— Searcy !
Citizen. That this same Eugene |
Williams made a hurried trip to i
Helena upon the Sunday follow-1
ing the state primary and was ;
there closeted with “the powers i
that be” in Phillips county, gives
occasion for this insinuation of :
the venerable Lee County edtor.
The solution of it is predicted by
many to be found later in the ap
pointment of United States Mar
shal for the Eastern district of
Arkansas. Time will tell.
It is better to have the reputa-:
tion of paying your honest debts
than of being a leader in society.
All the glory of social life can
not compensate for the ignomin
y of getting through on false
pretenses. The wretchedness of
a man or woman who tor the
sake of display, is hunted day
and night by creditors, who al
most fears to walk the streets, is
pitiable. There must be an end
to him and a bitter one. Char
acter is worth more than clothes,
and independence than the social
swim. It may not cut as great a
sweep or attract as much atten
tion .but it will last longer and
bring much reward in the end.—
Osceola Times.
The Perryville, Missouri, Re
publican edited by Cushion and
Cashion. father and brother of
the clever young cashier of the
Bank of Swifton, who is doubt
less responsible for the Independ
ent reaching his old home, af
ter republishing what the Inde
pendent had to say about Perry
county gravel roads, adds:
“Now, we have known all a
. long that Perry county's roads
“I • v’v ^* ' ■ • *
would compare favorably with
any roads ih the state, but mod
esty has kept our people from
blowing about them so it makes
us swell up when such a fine
compliment is handed us by an
unbiased observer. We assure
the editor of the Independent
w'hen he makes the trip next
season he will find the roads
still better, and we are going to
start the betterment on the good
roads days this month.” That’s
the spirit which makes and
maintains good roads, never to
be satisfied, to regard them as
good enough or as good as a
community can afford. If Per
ry county, Missouri, with per
haps the best roads in that state,
for an agricultural county, is
not satisfied, what feeling of sat
isfaction or content should we
citizens of Jackson county have
for our present highway ex
cuses? - .«.

M ay Yet Sell Franchise.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 11.—The
sale of the Montgomery fran
chise in the Southern League to
business men of that city does
not mean that Little Rock will
not be in that league in 1914, ac
cording to local fans who have
given the matter close study.
They state that the franchise
was purchased with the inten
tion of selling it to Little Rock
people at a considerable advance.
The franchise brought $12,
000, and Little Rock is expected
xo give $18,000 for it. Richard
Tilles, the recent owmer, has lost
money heavily on the club for
several years, and the new own
ers, knowing they must do the
same, are willing to unload.
Goes to Farm for Using Knife.
Buddie Pitts, a negro, who us-1
ed an eighteen inch blade butch
er knife in frightening the in
habitants on Lower Front Street
Saturday, and who was given a
$25 fine and 60 ,days in jail by
Esquire Nuckolls Monday, has
been sent to the county farm at
Ingleside to serve his time.
STOMACH TROUBLES
Mir. Ragland Writes Interesting
Letter on This Subject.
Madison Heights, Va.—Mr. Chas. A.
Ragland, of this place, writes: “I have
been taking Thedford’s Black-Draught
for indigestion, and other stomach troub
les, also colds, and find it to be the very
best medicine I have ever used.
After taking Black-Draught for a few
days, I always feei like a new man.”
Nervousness, nausea, heartburn, pain
in pit of stomach, and a feeling of full
ness after eating, are sure symptoms of
stomach trouble, and should be given the
proper treatment, as your strength and
health depend very largely upon your
food and its digestion.
To get quick and permanent relief
from these ailments, you should take
a medicine of known curative merit.
Its 75 years of splendid success, in the
treatment of just such troubles, proves
the real merit of Thedford’s Black
Draught. Safe, pleasant, gentle in action,
and without bad after-effects, it is sure
to benefit both young and old. For sale
everywhere. Price 25c. N. C-127.
