DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVEN-
TION.
At a meeting of the Democratic
state central committee held in the
city of Little Rock on the 27th day of
March 1893 it was resolved by the
committee that a convention of a Dem-
ocratic party of the state of Arkansas
be called to assemble in the city of
Little Rock on Thursday the 22d
day of June 1893 at 12 o’clock m.
tor the purpose of nominating a can-
didate for the office of supreme judge
of the state to be voted for at a spec-
ial election to be held at such time as
shall be designated by the Governor.
It was further resolved by the com-
mittee that the basis for representa-
tion shall be one delegate for every
200 votes and for every fraction of
200 of 100 or over cast for Win. M.
Fiehback Democratic candidate for
Governor 1892; provided that each
county shall be entitled to at least one
delegate.
It was further resolved that the
committee recommend that the town-
ship meetings be held on Saturday
the 3rd day of June and the county
convention be held on Saturday the
10th day of June 1893.
Now therefore in pursuance of the
foregoing proceedings a convention

Necessary to choice 226.
In testimony whereof I have here-
unto attached my hand this the 13th
day of April 1893.
J. W. House Chairman.
Attest: W. J. Terry Secretary.
The Texas Press Association is in
session at Dallas. After adjourn-
ment it will excurt to Chicago to
take in the World’s Fair.
New York wants everything. She
always wants the President and then
she wants all the other positions.
Office seekers from that state worry
the President more than all the rest
of the country.—Conway Log Cabin.
It is said that by a simple rule the
length of the day and night any time
of the year may be ascertained by
simply doubling the time of the sun's
rising which will give the length of the
night and double the time of setting
will give the length of the day’.
The Randolph Herald has adopted
the pay in advance system—it says:
“This will be the last copy of the
Randolph Herald that wiH go out to
quite a number of our subscribers.
We have waited patiently for 10l these
many days for many ol our delin-
quents to come in or send in a re-
mittance but many have failed to do
so and we can not afford to carry
them longer.
Give us a few more railroads in
Arkansas and a half dozen tnanufac
tones with men of means behind
them.—Arkansas Democrat.
Rather say give us a half dozen
dozen manufactories instead of six.
We need capital (money) invested in
other ways too besides railroads and
factories. We need more solid mer-
cantile firms many more solid farm-
ers more live bankers and various
other men of like character.
We see in an exchange that an
Ohio newspaper man recently brought
suit against forty-three men who
would not pay their subscription and
obtained judgement for the full
amount in each case. Twenty-eight
at once prevented attachments by
making affidavit that they had no
more than the law allowed. Under
the Supreme Court they were arrested
for petty larceny and bound over in
the sum of 1800 six of these did not
give bond and went to jail. This
is the result of the working of the
new postal law which makes it lar- i
ceny to take a paper and refuse to 1
pay for it—Ex.
A newspaper is always printed in ;
a rush says the New York Sun.
There is always- something in it that
should be left outjsomething left out
that should be put in. It is some-
times too quick to act but with all its
faults and short comings there is more
education in a bright newspaper than
there is in a novel. You will find
that the brightest boy on all practical
sensible everyday questions is the
boy who reads the newspaper.
An inventive genius has devised an I
electrical weed exterminator. It is
simply driven along and as it passes
it sends an electric current into the
weed which knocks them out in the
first round. When to this is added
an electric stone picker an electric
potato dropper an electric milker an
electric pig paralyzer an electric
potato bug killer and a few things
more of the same sort farming indeed
will be a pleasure.—Reading Herald.
A great many men make their
living out of politics but it is as un-
certain as life itself. To-day the pol-
itician holds the scepter of power iyid
wields it to his own choosing but to-
morrow he is dethroned and his
power transferred to another and his
political career is ended. This fact
is forcibly sllustrated in the affairs of
our own state where almost an en-
tire change of officers have taken
place both state and federal within
the past few months—Ex.
Secretary Carlisle is eminently
correct in refusing to cater to the
wishes of Wail street bankers or
open the treasury because of any lit}
tie flurry in the financial world. In
an interview on the Wall street situa-
tion Secretary Carlisle asks pointed-
ly: “What have Ito do with the sit-
uation in Wall street? 1 can’t give
the gentlemen in Wall street any mon-
ey. Futher than this I have nothing to
say as I consider it improper and also
impossible to discuss the financial
situation every day through the news
papers.”
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except
on prescriptions from reputable phy-
sicians as the damages they will do
is ten fold to the good jou can possi-
bly derive from them. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure manufactured by F J Cheney &
Co. Toledo 0. contains no mercury
and is taken internally acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surface of
the system. In buying Hall’s Catarrh
Cure be sure you get the genuine. It
is taken internally and made in To-
ledo 0. by F J Cheney & Co. Testi-

Dyspepsia and Nervousness Cured
by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
"The past seven months have been the happi-
est of ms life aud I will tell you why. For ten
years dyspepsia has caused me Indescribable
suffering. I was so miserable and nervous all
the time I did not know what to do. My
stomach would not digest bread and milk and
when I ate anything I could not keep it down.
1 had Intense Distress
after eating. Could not sleep but very little and
when I did sleep it scorned to do me no good. I
felt as tired when I got up In the morning as
I did when I went to bed. My sleep was never
free from pain. Life was ulmsat ■ burUes.
I could not got anything to cure me aud had
given up all hopes of ever being any bettor.
" My father happened to get a little pamphlet
recommending Hood's Sarsaparilla and I
thought I would try the medicine. lam so glad
that I did take It that I can hardly express my
gratitude. 11 gave me the relief from which Iso
earnestly desired restored my appetite and
removed all the disagreeable symptoms. I can

THE NEW YORK
FAMILY STORY PAPER
ISOS3.
E’KOSE’EOT.TJS.
In beginning the eighteenth year of its successful career it is with of just
pride that the publisher of the
New York Family Story Paper
states that this urcat journal has double tho circulation of any family story paper in tho
world. This claim which its competitors are invited to investigate can easily be verified.
Tho pre-eminence thus acquired can be achieved only by merit. The
.leading public will buy that paper which best satisfies their desire for stories of tho high-
est literary merit and most interesting character. And tho enormous circulation of the
Now York Family Story proves that it has done this.
All the Great Features of the Paper
to which it owes its success of the past will bckoalously guarded in tho coming year. Its
distinguished staff of authors among whom may be mentioned Mary Kyle Dallas Nellie
Bly Abi S. Jackman Chailotte M. Kingsley •■Girlie" May Emma Garrison Jones Char-
lotte M. Stanley T. W. Hanshew K. Burke Collins and others equally famous will bo re-
tained its artistic excellence maintained its beautiful typographical appearance preserved
and the same judicious editorial aupen isiou exercised to keep the tone ot tho paper as pure
and moral as It has been from its inception.
No Expanse of Time or Money-
will bo spared to add new and attractive features. Standing as it does like a beacon light
above all its contemporaries the Now York Family Story fapoa cannot help attracting to
Its columns all that is brightest and best in modern fiction.
IT IS THE FAMILY PAPER.
