prosecuting attorney, subject to the Democratic
primury election. __
FOR ASSESSOR.
We are authorized to announce Passmore
White as a candidate for re-election to the office
of assessor of Jackson county, subject to the
Democratic primary election.
Pulaski county’s Wood club
now numbers 1,300 members and
continues to grow. Jeff would
probably evacuate Little Rock
and abandon it to the enemy,
but whither shall he turn to find
refuge from the storm of public
disapproval, which is gathering
from the four corners of the
state.
In renouncing Governor Davis,
whom he has formerly supported,
Charles Newman, editor of the
Pine Bluff Commercial, says: “It
has been said that a wise man
will sometimes change his mind
—a fool never. While w e cannot
be classed with the former, we
do not desire to be in the same
category with the latter. These
remarks are made because the
editor of the Commercial desires
to state that, notwithstanding
the past, he is now opposed to
the re-election of Gov. Davis as
chief executive of the state.”
Passmore White announces in
this issue his candidacy for re
election to the office of assessor.
Mr. White has proven himself a
conscientious and courageous offi
cial during the term which he
has administered as assessor.
The assessed valuation of taxable
property has been raised nearly
one third for the entire county.
He has striven to equalize the
burden of taxation as nearly as
possible by compelling all tax
payers to give in their pi\v erh
at its real value and by his fear
! lessness has made many support
ers who will uphold his claims
! for a second term.
---—
Hon. R. Bruce Macon’s opposi
tion to Senator Jones’ appointment
on the canal commission is entire
ly inexplicable to his friends
throughout this district. It is
the first silly thing we have ever
j known Bruce Macon to do. There
! is no demand from Arkansas, not
1 even from Senator J. P. Clarke’s
j staunchest friends, for a perse
| cution of Senator Jones, and our
j advice to Mr. Macon is, although
entirely gratuitous, to do all he
I can for Senator Jones’ confirma
! tion. Senator Clarke’s position
| is unfortunate. — Forrest City
Times.

a general tired-out feeling are among the more common
results of impure blood. Johnston’s Tonic Capsule^purify

the lack of certain necessary food substances.
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules are the surest, safest, most reliable, conven
ient and satisfactory medicine that can be taken to purify and enrich the blood.
They unload it of every impurity and at the same time so promote the nutritive
functions as to abundantly supply it with new, rich and self-sustaining
qualities. They make the blood pure and rich, and through pure blood the
bodily structures come right because they depend on the blood for nourish-J
ment and renewal.
For over 40 years Johnston’s Tonic Capsules have been held in high!
esteem as a most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatisms*
eczema, old sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh.*
scurvy, boils, liver complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidnef*
troubles and a long list of common ails and ills.

years experience with it, and we make the following extraordinary offef!*
