TELE GUARD. FRANK, D. DENTON, Editor. WEDNESDAY - • Jane 22. 1881. Entered at the Post Office, Batesville, as Second-clone Matter. Garfield is president but Conkling is not senator. The first American congress was held June 7, 1765, at New York. Arkansas was admitted into the Union June 15,1336. The Arkansas Press Association meets to-day at Arkadelphia. The United States flag of thirteen stars and stripes was adopted June 14. 1777. The battles of Banker Hill and Waterloo were fought in the month of June. Forty-five years ago last Wednes day Arkansas became a member of the Union of states. Messrs. Thalman & Clark, of Little Rock, have been awarded the contract for building the insane asylum at $144,440, the lowest bid therefor. Work will be begun at ence. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to our friend, Major Chas. G. Newman, of the Pine Bluff Commercial, in the severe affliction lately visited upon him and his family, by the loss of a cherish ed and idolized son of somo fourteen summers. ' Uol. Pat Donan has a nice excur sion to Lake Winnepeg, British Amer ica, through Minnesota, Dacotah and the Great North West, for those of the editors who have been dealt kindly with by their delinquents. Another instance where the Great Man Silent ought to have kept silent. But we suppose hs spoke this time without consulting his trimmers, but Schurz would be a bully fellow if he had been a Grant man, or was now a Conkling aider. The case being chang ed makes a change of opinion. The third term fang being extracted Grant is unable to harm Schurz. Brother Blackburn, of the Ar kansas Republican, at Little Rock, has arranged to publish a daily. He will be assisted by two experienced news paper men from Indiana. He expects to have his daily out by the Ist of July. We hope Brother B. may meet with every success he deserves, by ,a liberal patronage. Gen. Grant says of Hon. Carl Schurz, now editor of the New York I’ost, that ho could draw an official salary with more zeal, without earning it, than any man he (Grant) knpw of. Modesty and custom would have said present company excepted, for history will fail to show an instance except Grant himself, who first drew a double increase of salary, giving no return. For his benefit the president’s salary was raised from $25,000 to $50,000 per annum. Opie Read has returned to Arkan sas, from Cleveland, Ohio, where he has resided for several months. He resumes his former position on the Arkansas Gazette, and will greet his old readers with bis accustomed style of quaint and funny sayings. Opie was too pious to villify his southland, hence his severance with the Cleveland Leader. Opie says if any body wants the western reserve they can take it, he wants no more in his; that he drifts back this time to Arkansas from choice; that, he comes with a willingness that is more than a half brother to enthu siasm. Welcome, Opiuus Head, we greet we hope soon to salute thee. lO.AI.TUY EOnj) Full THE H.\bS Is furnished the radical press and leaders by the laje ovation given to Mrs. Canty, wife of Gen. Canty, of Alabama, on a recent visit made by this estimable lady to Clayton county, Ala., where many of her former slaves reside. Or, learning of her intended visit to relatives in that county, some fifty of her former slaves, Lid and young, prepared to receive her by giving a grand ovation; met her at the depot and escorted her through the streets to the residence of her relatives. It was a reception such, as has often been witnessed in the south upon the return home, after a long absence, of their ‘‘dear old missus.” These ex alaves had prepared a grand dinner With their own means, in honor oi a once kind owner. Presents, mementoes and keepsakes were freely bestowed on Ibeeveof her departure for her homo. Wagon Factory Prospect. Mr. Frank E. Hite arrived last Sat urday with J. M. Price, of Macomb, McDonough county, 111., J, B. Smith and Dr. U. B. Campbell, of Abington, Knox county, 111., who are prospecting for a location, the first named to estab lish a wagon factory, on a large scale. He combine* both capital and an ex perience of thirty years in the business. Stlch men will prove of vast benefit to this community. Dr. Campbell is a dentist of good repute and is also on the lookout for a thrifty and healthy location to engage in his profession. A son of -Mr. Price was here a few weeks ago and he was so • well pleased with our town and location that upon his return home his father concluded to come and see, and he finds not half was told. We have room and many advantages to offer new comers who possess money, muscle and enterprise. We invite all such to come and see.

Ague Cure Is a purely vegetable bitter and powerful tonic, and is warranted a speedy and cert tain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fever, Remittent Fewer, Dumb Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all malarial disorders. In miasmatic dis tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in the back and loins, anti coldness of tho spine and extremities, are only premoni tions of severer symptoms which termin ate in the ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever and profuse perspiration. It is a startling fact, that quinine, ar senic, and other poisonous minerals form the basis of -most of the “ Fever and Ague Preparations,” " Specifics,” “ Syrups,” and “ Tonics,” in the market. The prep- I arations made from these mineral poisons, although they are palatable, and may break tho chill, do not cure, but leave the malarial and their own drug poison in the system, producing quinism, dizziness, ringing in the ears, headache, vertigp, and other disorders more formidable than the disease they were intended to euro. Aveu’s Ague Cube thoroughly eradicates these noxious poisons from tho system, and always cures the severest cases. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could Injure tho most delicate pa tient; and its crowning excellence, above its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the system as free from disease os before the attack. For Liver Complaints, Ann’s Aoun Cuu, by direct notion on the .Uver and biliary apparatus, drives ont the poisons which produce these complaints, and stimulates the system to a vigorous, healthy condition. We warrant it when taken according to directions. Praparatl by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Practical and Analytical Chemists, Lowell, Maw. sou sr au Mvoetsn svsannass. Tl I tOA P® r d J »H|on>o.
