MAKING SPORT OF POVERTY.
The Hope Gazette thus calls
the father of Governor Davis to
task:
“The Atkins Chronizle, a pa
per published in Governor Davis’
county, and which is edited by
Gov. Davis’ father, attempts to
be funny at the expense of Judge
Wood’s poverty in his early days
and his menial struggles while at
the Arkansas University in order
to secure an education. It is
true that Judge Wood while at
tending the university worked
for his board and schooling, but
the work was honorable. He
worked on the school building at
10 cents per hour, which now
says that he was a noble boy and
did his work well.
“He also waited on the table,
washed the dishes, but what is
more, he kept up with his classes
and won the highest honors that
the school could bestow. While
Judge Wood was struggling foi
an education Judge L. W. Davis
was a member of the Arkansas
legislature, drawing his $6 per
day with which he could well
A
afford to send Jeff to school, and j
for so doing we have no fault to
find with him, but to attempt to i
to be funny at the expense of a
, poor country boy, who was not
thus favored, is an outrage that
should not be condoned.”

crofula?
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 liven and
kidneys must be stimulated to carry away blood impurities.
