A BANNER GONE WRONG.
At the meeting of delegates
from the Republican Clubs of
Arkansas in Little Rock last
week a handsome banner, bear
ing patriotic and inspiring in
scriptions, was presented to the
Republicans of Lee county for
the largest increase shown in the
vote for governor at the last
election. It is commonly under
stood that this alleged increase
was accomplished by the addi
tion of 1000 votes that were
never cast to the sum total of
the Republican vote of that
county, as a compliment to Jake
Shaul, the local Republican lead
er, at the same time that an
equal number of votes was added
to the Democratic total of the
county, by the election commis
sioners. Judge Cole of this city,
who presented the flag with a
neat speech, may have been able
to keep his face straight during
j the performance, which was
taken with becoming seriousness
by the assembled delegates; but,
possessing a normal Methodist
conscience as he does, we much
doubt if he has since been at
peace with himself. —Batesville

There is a big difference be
tween the cost of making a first
class sewing machine, embodying
the best materials and workman
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest manner. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing of
its annoying inefficiency.
