Now that the ladies hare or
ganised all eorts of c abs—litera
ry, mu-ie, sociable, etc., it is now
in order to or^aniae a cemetery
c-lnb and help beautify the City ol
the Dead.
The four wire ler.ee law went
into effect April 1st. The law em
braces the teiritory between the
J^t. Franeie and L’Anguille rivers,
the territory east of the St. Fran
cis being already under the opera
tion of a similar act passed two
years ago.
The receding of the waters has
given Irtfth courage to the plant
ers in the botUr-us, uni us the
overflow disappears^ will follow it
up with the plow. Although three
or four weeks behind in tboir
work, once the water within it?
natural bank*, the ground will dry
rapidiy, and the whole face of the
valley will have assumed an al
together different prospect, and
the dire calamity so imminent a
few days ago will have been for
gotten, and in lanced security all
will bend to the uttermost every
cerve and muscle to the acquisi
. »a of the almighty dollar, and

Her., x. W. De&oaitt Las kindly
sent c* a copy of A Bill lor An
Act lo create tLe L’Auguiilo
Drainage District. The objeet is
lo create a Beard of Directors and
levy a tax of two per cent on the
betterment, and drain, levee and
otherwise protect lands lying in
L’Anguillc bottoms. In other
words it creates a corporation
similar to the St. Francis Levee
District, and with very similar
powers, liepresontative Dcliositt
is anxious 10 have an expression
from the land owners and others
interested or effected. He has no
interest in the bill except such as
mny be thought necessary or bene
ficial to the majority, and will try
to serve his constituents lo the
best of his ability. Write him
and let him know whether you
favor it or not.
Due Notice is Served.
Due notice is hereby served on ttie
public generally that DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve is the only salve Oil the
market that is made from the pure, uu
lulnllerated witch hazel. DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve has cured thousands of cases
* t piles that would not yield to any other
treatment, and this fact has brought out
many worthless counterfeits. Those per
- .us who get the genuine DeWitt’s Witch
IDzei Salve are never disappointed, be
cause it cures. J. T. Sander*.
Tho Time* does not know xhat
is the demand or necessity for
draining the L’Angaills bottoms.
If the laad-owners and citizens of
that district, or a majority of them,
desire to tax themselves for this
parpose, they certainly have a
right to do so, and we have no
notion of advising them as to their
business. Bat we do want to state
that a L’Anguille Drainage Dis
trict, Board of Directors, and
their operations will be expensive.
Toe land will be taxed at once 2
per cent, on tbe betterment—that
means 2 cents per acre. Tbe his
tory of such organiztions is that 2
per cent wili not furnish them
sufficient funis. Later a law will
probably be enacted increasing
the tax to 4 per cent, and then
bonds will be issued, and there is
no end to tho everiast.og octopus
and burden. Therefore the citi
zens of tbe effected district should
ponder well these things, and
act accordingly, taking care not
to foist upon themselves a burden
of taxes which they and their
children and great grandchildren
wili regret If vou don’t wtnt
this bill to become a law write to
Hon. F. W. DeEositt, Little Rock,
Arkansas, and it a majority of his
constituents oppose the bill he
will bsc his best efforts to defeat it.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot react,
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to sure deafness.and that is j
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an intiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely cl<»ed deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out aud this tube restored to
its normal condition, bearing will be
destroyed forever; n.ne eases out of ten
are caused by catanh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition ol the mucous !
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for<
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh}!
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
cure. Send for circulars, free.

SODA WATER.
The Forrest City Bottling Works of
Forrest City, Aik., eoj yg a unique
distinction.
Ihe popular it v of soda water and the
score or more kiadred carbonate drinks
as a beverage in tbe United States is
increasing yearly, and has reached such
proportions that the public does well to
ask tbe question as to its vrboleseme
cess.
This has lor.* since been decided. No
mote Leailbfui or refreshing drink can
be conceived. One important factcn
however, presents itseif to the thought
ful. ar.d that is the question of the wa
ter used m the manufacture of sodas.
It is quite clear that unless the water
used is wholesome, the driDk manufac
tured therefrom cannot be so.
In tins respect the Forrest City Bot
tling Works have a decided advantage
over the thousands of manufacturers
throughout the country, inasmuch as
they use the water from the v eils of
Forrest City, bring from a depth of 460
feet the water, which is beyond ques
tion the purest and most wholesome of
waters.
Messrs. Muller A Son have a neat
plant, equipped with all modern ma
chiaeiy and appliances. They invite
you to read their advertisement in this
paper and give them a call.

A Sweet Breath.
Is a never failing sign of a healthy
stomach. When the breath is bad the
stomach is out of order. There is no
remedy in the world equal to Kodol Dys
peps a Cure for curing indieestion, dys
pep-ia aod all stomach disorders. Mrs.
Mary S. Crick, of White Plains, Ky.,
writes; *‘1 have been a dyspeptic for
years—tried ad kinds of remedies but
continued to grow worse, by the use of
Kodol 1 began to improve at once, and
after taking a few bottles am fuliv restor

what you eat and makes the stomach

A disordered stomach may cause no

dreaded. The important thiDg i3 to
