The next attraction at the opera house. Forrest City, Arkansas. Thurs day. November 7th, will be Eugene Moore's dramatisation of Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth's famous old story, ‘The Hidden Hand," and tells a story of the folks who live amid the moun tains and valleys of probably the most homelike region of the United States Old Virginia. It is said to be one of those natural plays that leaves a [strong and favorable impression wherever it is presented. Take your sister to see ‘The Hidden Hand,” and it will not cause a blush : take the children, and they will lje amused at its abundance of humor; take the old folks, and they will enjoy a revival of old associations. It is a play for all. and the company is said to be an exceptionally meritorious one. A Good Liniiueut. When you need a good reliable lini ment try Chamberlain’s Pain Balm.

Sick people do not like to be trifled with or to spend their money for inert, cheap medicines, which are made to sell rather than to cure Many of these Hood the market. On the contrary the remedies advertised by the Hessig-Ellis Drug Co., of Memphis. Tenu., are conscientiously compounded from the tried prescrip tions of an eminent physician and are made to cure. We refer to Dr. Nott’s Delta Chill Cure and Dr. Notts Melon-Seed Kidney and Bladder Rem edy. These standard remedies are prepared in their own laboratory in the most scientific manner from* en dorsed, selected material. If you need remedies of this kind it is alwavs wiser and safer to buy tltese rather than to try some nostrum made bv some one at a distance of whom vou know nothing. These remedies are well endorsed by thousands of people in the Southern and Western States. If you need a remedy like this why not buy these - Druggists sell them. For 'book of particulars address.

SANDERS, Special Ajrcn "Say. had you thought of just why Brinkley was selected by the hip Barnum & Bailey Circus as the one place for them to break tlie long jump from Little Kock to Memphis,” said a long-beaded Brinkley man the other day. "Well, its worth the thought, and it says something too, if you^l stop to think aliout it. The circus is managed by the very lx*st business brains; they selected Brinkley over Forrest City l>ear in mind—” The writer of the above, taken from the Brinkley Argus, stopped short just at the most interesting part of his story. He don't tell us WHY “they selected Brinkley over Forrest City.” We would like to know what that rea son was, according to the Argus man's idea. Looking at the i|uestion from this distance, we believe that the management made a very costly mis take. but very good fur Brinkley and the railroads. [Above item was left over from iast week.
