Being purely vegetable no harm can arise from
their use, and being sugar-coated they are pleas
ant to take. In intrinsic value and curative
powers other Pills can be compared with
them; and every person knowing their virtues
will employ them when needed. They keep the
action the whole machinery oflife. Mild search
ing and effectual they are especially adapted to
the needs of the digestive apparatus, derange-

Col. Archibald Yell.
fExchange.l

Among the "reminiscences of cores pondent of the Louisville CoHyiry- Ionr- nal. are some anecdotes of Col. Archibald Yell of Arkansaw. whom the writer says he knew from his boyhood. He was born in Bedford county, Tenn; received an academic education studied law, and prac;iced a, Shelbyville. the county seat. He was gentleman of popular manners, and took 10 the people as young duck takes to pond. In 1893 he was elected representative 10 the legislature by an overwhelming majority. He was an enthusiastic admirer of Gen. Jackson, who was then 3 candidate for president,
 In 1929 tornado swep, over Shelby,ille. demolishing number of houses and killing several persons. Sometime there after heard Col. Yell remark, in a jocu- lar vein. that the reason his law office re- ceived no injury. was that l, contained a file of Gen. Duff Greens tnited Stah5
 Teicgyabh. This journal was then an ardent supporter of Gen. Jackson. Early in the first presidential term of the old hero, he appointed Col. Yell United States judge for the district of Arkansaw. In IS3, he resigned this office and be- came a candidate for Congress. He had a competitor at the beginning of the can vass. but soon scared him off the track Here hangs tale. and must tell it. The two were 0 dine together on eer- tain day. and came across some men who were shooting for beef. Col. Yell asked them if they would alldw him 10 take part in what he called their game On receiving their assent, he alighted. made several shots. and won several quarters oi beef. He shen inquired: "Who are the poorest families in the neighbor- hood.' On being informed, he sent them all the beef he had won. with his compliments. Mounting their horses. they soon arrived al camp meeting on the wayside. There they tarried several hours. When the competitor thought it was about time to be moving on, he searched all over the camp ground for Col. Yell, but could not ind him. Al length he went up near the altar, and there stood Col. Yell, singing at the top of his voice: How Firm a Founda- ton, Ne Saints ot the Lord The reader can imagine his surprise. With some difficulty he succeeded in getting Col. Nell ou, from amongst the brethren, took him 10 one side. and said lin oil" of where:" "Of the track re- sponded he. ..l see i, Is perfectly use less to run against man who. on the same day. can shoot for beef with the ungodiy and sing pious songs over ,he mourners at camp meeting. Col. Yell was elected, and reelected in IS57. serv- ins Ill the 4,h of March. 1859. In iS4o he was elected governor of the state for four years. In ist5 he was again returned to Congress. but resigned in IS. ;o serve in the Mexican war. lie was mustered in,o the service as colonel of the first Ar kansaw volunteer cavalry, and was ki,leO Tn gallant charge upon the enemy al the battle of Buena Vista.

A Suggestion.

The people generally, and advertisers especially, should not fail to remember that THE ARKANsAw TRAVELLER. while 1t enjoys national reputation. has a To- cal circulation much larger than ,ha, of any paper published in Little Rock There are few reading families in the city or in any of the neighboring towns who do not receive THE ARKaNsAw TRAv- ELER regularly. It is understood ,ha, the object of advertising Is to make your name and business known m the com munity from which you wish to receive trade. To secure this resul, you should advertise in that journal which has the largest circulation Tn tna, community. TIE ARKANsAw TRAvEIER is that jour nal.

Aneien, Ruins in Sonora.
'Tueson (Arizona) Citizen

IICsOn i.AEi<Ondy
 Ancient ruins have recently been dis covered in Sonora, which, If reports be true, surpass anything of this kind yet found on this continent. The ruins are said 10 be about four leagues southeast of Magdalena. There Is one pyramid which has base Of I.S5o feet. and rises 10 the neigh, of 75o feet: there IS a winding roadway from he bottom lead ing up on an easy grade to the top, wide enough for carriages 10 pass over, which is said ,o be twcnty-thrce miles in length:
 in sohd masonry from huge blocks of granite in rubble work, and the circles are as uniform and the grade as regular as they could be made al this date by our best engineers. The wall, however, is occasionally exposed, being covered over with debris and earth: and in many places the sahuaro and other indigenous plants and trees have grown up, giving the pyramid the appearance of a noun tain. To the east of the pyramid short distance is small mountain, about the same sire, which rises to about the same height and if reports be true, will prove more interesting to the archseologist than the pyramid.
 There seems to be heavy layer of a species of gypsum, about half way ur the mountain, which IS as white as snow and may be cut into any conceivable shape, yet sufficiently hard to retain its shape after being cut. h this layer oi stone d people of an unknown age have GU, hundreds upon hundreds of rooms from 10 to sixteen 10 eighteen feet square. These rooms are cut out of the solid stone. and SO even and true are the walls, floors and ceiling to plumb and level as to defy variation. There are no windows in the rooms and but one en- trance. which is always from the top. The rooms are abou, eight feet high from floor to ceiling; the stone is so white that II seems almost tranSpar- ent, and the rooms are not all dark. On the walls of these rooms are numerous hieroglyphics and representations of hu- man forms, with hands and feet oi human beings eut in the stone in different laees.
 But strange to say. all the hands have five fingers and one thumb. and the feet have six toes. Charcoal is found on the floor of many of the rooms, which would indicate that they built fires in their houses. Stone implements of every description in great numbers are 10 be found in and abou, the rooms. The houses or rooms are one above the other to three or more stores high: but be- tween each story there Is d Jeg or recess ihesiull width of the room below. so ;ha, they present the appearance of large steps leading up the mountain. N no these people were. and wha; age the, lived in mus; be ansnered. f an ,wered al all by the wise men of the east. Some say they were the ancestors of the Mayos, race oi Indians who silll inhAbit Southern Sonora. who have blue eyes. fair skin and light hair. and sse said to be a moral. industrious and frugal race of people, Nho have d written lan- guage and know som-ihing of mathe- mates.
