He was escorted TO the train by
large number of the members Of his

faithfully. 1t will be long time

Smiths Bile Beans, from small
start, have grown into universal use
all over the country. They are a
magnificent overseer over torpid
liver-arousing the dormant ener-
gies Of that organ. The credentials
Of their value come pouring into the
proprietors from every quarter where
they have been introduced. Form
erly they were manufactured in this
city, but the rapid demand for them
induced the proprietors to establish
a factory for their manufacture in
ST. Louis, Mo-. where, daily, they are
made and bottled in immense guam
titles. They are being handled now
by wholesale and retail druggists all
over the broad limits Of our coun-
try.-Texarkana Democrat.
On the 10Th of last month the
annual meeting Of the directors of
the Melrose Cotton Mills was held
at which reorganization was had
with but one change, however, in the
board of directors-Mr. John b.
Evants being elected in the place of
Mr.. Thomas Cox, of Dardanelle, and
none in the officers. The officers
are: Geo. s. Kimball, OF Dardanelle,
president; IL. Shinn, vice president;
j. E. Battenfleld, secretary and treas
urer; J. M. Haney, superintendent.
The board of directors is composed
of G. S. Kimball, j. L. Shinn, John
b. Evants, John r. Homer Scott and
j. M. Haney. The meeting we learn
developed condition Of business,
during the time the mills had been
in operation, satisfactory to the
board. We feel happy to congratu.
late the company upon this state OF
affairs and wish them adequate pros
perity in the future. Cotton mills
ought to be dotted all over the south
and all proper means should be used
to cultivate spirit of building them.
Recently the Melrose Mills ap-
piled to the L. r. 4 Fl. S. r y au-
thorities for the best rates Of freight
to be obtained on their products by
the car load to Van Buren, and Fort
Smith, their shipping contract with
the road having expired. In answer
the road replied that regular tariff
rates was the best they could give,
which were 43 cents per hundred to
Fort Smith. The lot Of goods Just
ready to be shipped by the company
was thereupon withheld and arrange
ments made to freight them to Fort
Smith at a much less rate by boat.
Since that time, however, we learn
that rates have been arranged be-
tween the company and road that en-
ables the company to ship to Kansas
