“Jeffie” has been forgotten.
The Jackson county politicians
have troubles of their own.
The political bees are playing
favorites with the press and
have found their way into the
oonneis or our contemporaries.
The city is to be divided into
three wards, so say the political
prognosticators. At present
there are not enough offices to go
around.
The Iron Mountain claims to
have a passenger schedule, but

Rainy days are not very v fish

just at the commencement of the

fair skies and good roads.
It’s a hard matter to select
Christmas presents, but the j
dilemma of the shopper may be

With the chance for paving
Front street gone glimmering for
another season, why not improve
on other lines? Tear down the
old frame shacks that make Tin
sightly our substantial brick
buildings.
The next time you board an
Iron Mountain train, take a look
at our familiar old Front street
and note its village-like appear
ance because of the wooden awn
ings and signs that extend over
the walk, so low in many in
stances as to knock from his
head the pedestrian’s hat. “Just
for the looks of things’’ they
ought to go.

“Arkansas Life” is the name
of a new monthly mag
azine published in Little Rock.
Only a hundred pages are con
sumed in the first issue with
short stories and other home
matter, but the reader must wait
a few months to note the prolific
productiv e powers of Arkansas
in an exuberance of spring poe
try. It is not well for a begin
ner at verse to risk a frost in
this uncertain season.
Nursery rhymes tell us that
the highest beef ever went was
when the cow jumped over th«
moon, but the market now pre

“Boss” Croker, whom curren
talk has long reported enjoyiiv
the races with English lords, i
in” on local
s. He has many of the
aeial features of William Jen
nings Bryan and the likeness
follows further in that he is
quite an agitator. Secretly, he
is a good friend of the newspa
per men and by his efforts at
enlisting new candidates in the
field is adding materially to the
coffers of the pencil pushers.
Reforms that cost something
are hard to secure, but we have
one to offer that would not bear
! down heavily upon any one indi
j vidual and yet would greatly im
j prove the appearance of our busi
ness section. Down with the
overhead signs and wooden awn
ings on Front street. Let the
latter be replaced by canvas awn
ings and the former by window
signs or short shingles projecting
not over three feet from the
buildings. Let the council take
up this matter and enforce the
j ordinance upon the subject and
I if supplementary legislation is
1 needed, pass such an ordinance.
The people approve it.
