The Iron Mountain railroad lias sig
nified its intention to grade llie ugly
ditches between their tracks on West
Front street If they would complete
the job by tilling the frog pond by the
fed gin. they would receive the praise
of the whole community.
.Over two hundred people from this
city went to Brinkley on the 4th. and
nearly all the latlauce of t he population
went to tlie bariiecue at Sugar llill and 1
jifc-nics and fish-frys elsewhere. For |
awhile it was thought that Dr. .Stone,
Marshal Wolff and ye local were tire |
only ones left.
The band boys received their hand
some new uniform* Tuesday, and witli
a few minor exceptions are up to their
expectations. They left for Brinkley
Wednesday night in high spirits. Plans
for an inexpensive band stand have been
submitted to the authorities with re
quest that it be erected in the hotel
park; ahd vve may soon expect a weekly
open air concert. The boys are pro
gressing very nicely, and handle a high
grade of music very creditably.
John A. 'Packet ami E. Milam, of
Jericho, were in town Tuesday inves
tigating the potato market. They
have about 50 bushels to dispose of,
and the samples exhibited by them in
dicate that they know how to grow
them to perfection. Something of a
curiosity was sent ns by Rayburn ’Pack
et. which they delivered. It is a tuber
of large size with eight smaller tubers
perfectly formed and growing from its
sides. It was the only potato in the
hill.
A printing oflice is usually consider
ed a rather tough place, and the news
paper worker a mighty had man. Sta
tistics. however, do not hear out that
idea. Of 3,890 convicts in the state
penitentiary of Texas there is not a
printer or a newspaper man, while
there are ministers, doctors. hankers,
barbers, photographers, barkeepers,
cooks and members of all other pro
fessions and callings. The printer
gels a bad name because the nature of
his busines teaches him to detest shams
and he scorns to play the bypocrit.
—Eureka Messenger.
But for the prompt application of
remedies bv a colored doctor, the young
4 year-old daughter of Jas Beard, near
Palestine, would have met an awful
fate. The child was in the field with
its father and in its wanderings stum
bled over a rattlesnake. The snake
struck at the child, and inserted its
fangs in her forefinger. The little one
ran screaming with the snake dangling
on her hand. The father ran to the
house with the child quickly, and bv
the application of a live chicken cut in
two, the poison was extracted from
the wound, and no serious results are
anticipated.
The barbecue at Sugar Hill, about
eig.it miles south of town, w as well at
tended yesterday, many people going
from this city. The committee of ar
rangement evidently knew' their busi
ness. for the crowd was lavish in their
praise of the good time they enjoyed.
Barbecued meats, bread, chicken and
pie abounded, and dancing and games
tilled the cup of happiness to the brim.
“The strangers w ithin their gates” had
the best in the land. A friendly bout
caused by the inclement weather, or
beer, created a little unpleasantness,
hut was soon checked, and everything
ended joyously.
A warrant was sworn out in Squire
Nelson’s court Monday for the arrest
of Win. Marmaduke. on a charge of
rape on the person of Louisa Brown,
a colored girl about twelve years of
age. The girl’s father. Jonas Brown,
charged him with the crime, whereupon
Marmaduke assaulted him with an ax,
slightly cutting him on the shoulder,
hence an additional warrant, on the
charge of assault with intent to kill.
Marmaduke immediately took to the
woods. All persons concerned are
colored. This, if true, is the second
case of its kind during the year. An
example will probably be made of the j
third.
Professor It. C. Hall returned this
morning from Forrest City, where he
conducted the normal He reports
rood work with an enrollment of thirty
seven. and an average attendance of!
thirty-three. The teachers showed!
marked attention from beginning to
finish. He recommends that the act]
appropriating $10,000 for this purpose
should be amended, making attendance
compulsory. Professor Hal! will leave
within a few weeks for his old home
at Suffolk. Va., and will spend the
next two years at the University of
Virginiastudving medicine. Mr. Hall
has many friends here who will re
gret his going away.—Little Hook Dem

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science lias
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co..
Toledo. Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testiroonals. Address.

A Big Sign.
One of the largest signs ever painted
is seen on the Chattanooga Medicine
Co’s laboratory at the foot of Lookout
mountain. The sign is 175ft. long and
and 40ft. wide, and reads, “McElree’s
Wine of Cardin for Women.” Some of
the letters are 20ft long, and can be
read from the top of the historic old
mountain. No visitor comes to this
popular resort without having “Wine
of Cardui” firmly impressed on his
memory. This medicine has increased
in popular favor very rapidly, and now
stands at the head ot its class. Thou
sands of ladies use it every month.

A Prominent Minister.
Rev. T. R. Kendall, pastor Grace M. E.
Cliurcli, Atlanta. Ga, says: “I take
pleasure in testifying to the great virtue
of King’s Royal Gerruetuer in relieving
night sweats resulting from the debilitating
influence of malaria. In a severe ordeal
through which my family passed from
this oppressive affliction, I found Germe
teur to be an immediate specific. Having
also found it a speedy tonic to the diges
tion, and a most graceful and refreshing
remedy in the treated season w hen suffer
ing from relaxation and general debility.’’

At the timber camp of Robinson &
Gaines on Hlackfish lake, a few days
since, a vicious sow’ came near tearing
a small child to peices. The child's
parents, a Mr. atid Mrs. Greenwood,
of Cherry Valley, are engaged at the
camp and the tragedy happened al
most under the mother’s eyes. The
little one escaped harm otherwise than
a few flesh wounds in one of its hands.
Best Family Medicine.
Mr. C. N. Jones. Girard, Ala., says.
May 16. 1893: ”1 was suffering from Ca
tarrh in the head, and was cured by King’s
Royal Germetuef. We keep it ail the
time, and believe that it is the best family
medicine there is on the market to-day.’’
Gerruetuer suits all ages in the home.
It is so pleasant to take that all like it.
It is so barm less that tne tenderest babe
and most delicate invalids are always safe
in using it.
