Widener Times.
We are having line weather, and
the cool nights predict the coming of
our never-failing friend, .lack Frost.
t^uite a numl*er of our young men
attended the l«rbecue at Whitmore
and reported a good time.
.Mr. W. T. Turk, of Fulwood. was
visiting friends near Widener last
Saturday and Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Jno. W. Hall were in
Forrest City last Sunday.
Widener is improving. Another
store house is licing built, and will be
occupied by our colored friend. Will
Ileid.
Mr. M. N. Gaines, of Forrest City,
was fishing at burnt Cane lake Wed
nesday.
Cotton is opening, and hunters to
go in the weed patches and find tlie
cotton are in great demand.
Mr. William Logon was in Forrest
City on business last Saturday.
Mr. Ilob Hrittlan was somewhat in
disposed during the past week.
That brag is still strolling through
the shady lane and talking to that
baby mine.
Miss( ilia Thompson and Miss Hedley
Kendrick, two of our charming young
ladles, were visiting friends in Forrest
City, last Sunday.
Pain from a Burn Promptly Re
lieved by Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm.
A little child of Michael Strauss, of
Vernon, Gum., was recently in great
pain from a burn on the hand, and as
cold Applications only increased the
inflammation. Mr. Strauss came to
Mr. James N. Nichols, a local mer
chant. for something to stop the pain.
Mr. Nichols says: ”1 advised him to
use Chamberlain’s l’ain Halm, and the
first application drew out the inflam
mation and gave immediate relief. I
have used this liniment myself and
recommend it very often for cuts,
burns, strains and lame back, and
have never known it to disappoint.”
For sale by J. T. Sanders.
The Parrish College.
An established school that offers
thoroughly practical courses in Busi
ness and Shorthand, and all academic
branches. Normal department soon
to lie added. Experienced teachers in
charge. Tuition reasonable. Write
for catalogue and full particulars.
B. II. Pakkish, President,
Paragould, Ark.
Democrat Times.
Now for .lark Frost.
We are betting on an early fall.
Cotton is beginning to open a little.
Some oft lie i>cople of tills locality
begin to look like they have been
frost bitten.
Some or the farmers at this place
are saving hay for tlie first time: but
they have nothing else to save.
Mrs. W. S. Thomas and MissSallie
lloge have been quite sick this week,
hut they are improving at present.
We have not seen Mr. Tom Woods,
of the Yale of lieu lab for some days,
and are very uneasy, fearing that he
lias lieen frost bitten.
Captain Dig Foot and wife have re
turned home after a visit to relatives
near Lulu, Arkansas, for at out four
weeks.
I’at Murphy has lieen laid up for
.era', days with a crippled foot, but
he ti-iLki tl.at he will Ik* able to
“hustle the raccoons a few" a little
later In the season.
(*ur postmaster, road overseer, school
director, merchant and dog i*elter. is
still on l.is feet, and hustling every
thing that lie i- able to move, and
some people say that lie i> actually
doing some good.
.1. M. Gunter, of Sand Kidge. was a
business visitor to tills place last
Wednesday, and reports that the road
overseer of that road district lias ac
tually begun an effort to work the
public road.
W. M. Buchanan, one of our most
pros|ierous colored farmer> and bridge
builders is putting in his time every
day climbing cypress trees, in order to
ascertain whether they will make
good piling or not: and if lie ever finds
one tliat he thinks will till the bill, he
is going to bring it up at once for use
in our bridge.
We country merchants certainly
have a snap— the wholesale houses send
us duns every month and draw on us
at sight, but if we send a bill to a cus
tomer he comes in swearing, and mad.
and yuits trading at our store. While
we are hard up for ready money many
of those who owe us are sending cash
in advance to mail order houses. If we
contribute money to any cause jieople
say “he is bidding fur trade:" if we
don't they say that lie is a hog. Every
day lie is expooted to dig up for every
thing that comes along from a r..rtle
ticket to a church fund to jieople who
say he ought to do this because they
do part of their trading here. But my
friends Montgomery-Ward neither buy
a raffle ticket nor help your church
funds, and yet they get tire easli in
advance. Silver Bill.
Like binding Money,
Finding health is like finding money
so think those who are sick. When
you have a cough, cold, sore throat, or
chest irritation, better act promptly
like W. C. barber, of Sandy Level, Va.
ife says: had a terrible chest
trouble, caused by smoke and coal dust
on my lungs: but' after finding no re
lief in other remedies. 1 was cured by
Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con
sumption. Coughs and Colds.” Great
