sold facts, relative to Arkansas
Tim low prices and .scarcity of money
With all its hardships have taught ns
fme things we did'nt know before—
that we must firs more attention to
ilferslfled farming; that we must raise
•ore and better stock; that we must
consume a greater portion of our crops
Ot home; to keep out of debt, and to
put more headwork into our farming
operations,” This ia the wise conclu
sion of The Texas Farm and Ranch,
and mn.it hold good all over the South
In order to bring about a more ami
cable feeling throughout the county.
It has been suggested that the “White
Cap” cases be compromised. In view
of the fact that considerable punish
merit bus already been inflicted on
those indicted, not only by imprison
ment, but by anxiety, loss of crops,
time and money, to say nothing of the
bad feeling engendered throughout
the whole county, we think the step a
proper one. and would urge upon the
people to at once take steps to bring
about tiiis end. The result would
prove better than imprisonment.
Many papers are advocating tire re
peal of the Change of Venue Law of
Arkansas. Under the present law the
courts are put to much trouble and ex
tra expense, and the ends of Justioe
are often perverted. The Texarkan
iao says, in support of the latter asser
tion: “It is notorious that in the re
cent cases carried by ebange of venue
from Pulaski to Perry, justice miscar
ried, the aceuaed having taken a brass
band and plenty of money to create a
public sentiment in bis favor.” In our
own courts we have had numerous ex
amples—enough to Justify the demand
for a mod ideation in the law so aa to
make change of venue less frequent.
That Joyful Foaling.
With tha exhilarating sense of renewed
health and strength and internal eleanll
ness, which follows the use of Syrup of
Figs, is unknown to the few who have not
progressed beyond the old Hue medicines
and the cheap substitutes sometimes of
fered but never accepted by the well In
formed.

A Surprise Forty.
A surprise party at a Baptist church
is something unusual,yet one of a hap
py nature occurred at Athens, Texas,
last Sunday uight. When the bene
diction was about being pronounced.
l>y Eld. J. H. Cason, who is the (Mi
Hiding minister, a couple interrupted
the prayer by presenting themselves
before the altar, with the request tiiat
the marriage ceremony be performed.
To the astonishment of the Elder, it
proved to he his daughter, Bettie Clay. J
and Mr. 8. B. La Hue. With trembling
lips the request wag obeyed, and Miss
Bettie is now at home to the name of
Mrs. La Hue. The surprise will be
great here, too, for Miss Bettie Clav
was a geueral fa voi ite among all classes
in this city Thu Tiffs wishes the
young couple a Joyous Journey through
life, and may all their troubles belit
tle ones.

Attempt at Bsoape.
Quite an exciting incident occurred
at the courtroom last Saturday night,
pending the ruling of the Judge on the
motions for new trials in the cases of
Robinson and Cannon—the latter being
found guilty of murder In the first de
gree and the former gniity of being ao
cessory to the crime. While reading the
proceedings of the day’s court, Cannon
expressed a desire to go out, and waa
accompanied by Deputies IKard and
Prewett. He was taken to the sher
iff's room, and while a light wns being
Krocured, made a break for liberty.
Ir. Will Clifton happened In the pass
age way and grabbed Cannon by the
arm, throwing him to the floor and
against deputy Wolff, who waa seated
m the stoop In front. Wolff made a
grab and succeeded in getting a firm
hold, and in the meantime tb« balance
of the court officers piled on him. and
the prisoner gave In. Cannon said he
was not trying to get away. tha. he
only had a spell on him. Amid the
flourish of pistols the prisoner was
brought into the courtroom and re
sumed his sent in the prisoner’s box
But for the prompt action of Clifton
and Wolff, the prisoner would no doubt
hare escaped.
Airer me reamng or me court pro
ceedings was finished, the Judge over
ruled the motion for a new trial in
both eases, and ordered Hobinsou to
stand up, and sentenced him to con
finement in the penitentiary at hard!
labor for a period of twenty-one years.'
Cannon was then ordered to stand,!
the Judge spoke of the atrocity of the i
crime and that be had been tried by a!
Jury of his ewn choosing who found ;
hiss guilty of murder in the first da
giee. The judge told him not to place
any hope on the appeal to the Supreme
court, but to make his peace with man
and God. and then proceeded to sen
tenes him to be banged by the neck
until he was dead, dead, dead. The
time of execution was fixed for the
14th day of December. The Judge was
very much overcome by the scene, and
when he stspped from the bench hur
ried his face in his handkerchief.
Much credit is due N. B. Fixer for
hts masterly defense in behalf of his
client.
Two Llvss Saved.
Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junetlon City,

sumption and that there was no bops for
her. but two bottles of Dr. King's New

That Tired Feeling
la a dangerous condition directly due to
depleted or impure blood. It should not
be allowed to continue, as In Its debility
the system is especially liable to senoua
attacks of illness. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is
the remedy for aueh a condition, and also
for that which prevails at the change of
climate or life.
Dnafnnee Cannot be Cured,
by local epplieatione as they eannot reach
i the diseased portion of the ear. Tbere Is
only one way to cure deafnese, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness it
caused by an inflamed conditlou of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is Inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and wbea it is entirely closed, Dearness
Is the result, and uuless tbe inflammation,
can lie taken out and this tube restored to
Ite normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever ; nine cases out of teu are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed couditlou of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by Ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Ca
tarrh Cure, Send for circulars; free.
