A PHYSICIANS Evidence,

People, as a general thing, endorse
a medicine according to effect produc>
ed upon individuals, but a remedy to
be of universal good, must cure in all
similar instances; hence, the evidence
of a physician is of paramount i'm.
portance in summing up the
salutary and curative advantages
of a remedy when largely used by
the people. In this respect, Mans
fields Magic Arnica Liniment is sup
ported by an astonishing array of evN
idence, and among others, DR.. 7.

Revival

Now in progress at this place under
the supervision of the Rev. w. M.
Robson is being attended by the
largest crowds that ever went to
church in Des Arc. He holds SER
vice at s a. M, 4 and s p. m. In the
beginning Of the meeting his sermons
were very plainly delivered; he made
war on the church members and |
blamed them with the low spiritual
condition Of the town. On Sunday
evening he wound up his scolding SER
mons by giving the men and boys of
Des Arc one Of the plainest and most
pointed talks any Of the oldest iahab-
itants ever listened to. He told the
boys aud married men, too, OF many
things that they were guilty of which
were startings, but none the less true.
Some object to his plain way Of deal
ing out facts, but none doubt the
truthfulness of what ne has to say;
so the Christians all say "amen."
Give it to the sinners, and us too. il
we need it-and we do. Some smart
sinner wanted to know of Bro. Rob-
ison, why he used such rough and
uncouth language; his reply was; |
do it to get down on a level with your
sort, and may have to come a great
deal lower to reach your particular
case.
He is full of originality, and God
has otherwise armed and equipped
him for fighting the devil in this vast
field of His. There is a magnetism
about the man of a holy nature, and
MS sayings, while plain, and we may
say rough, are peculiarly tempered
and intermixed with biblical and his
torical facts. His anecdotes occasions
all y make his audience laugh, yet
there is moral and good principle
in each one. Many conversions have
been made, some Of whom were con.
sidered among the worst young men
in town. His manner of reaching the
people is different from that of our
own ministers, and we think better,
as he has harnessed up nearly every
Christian in town and put them tt
work. 1t would take "a good sized
book. togive'even a synop sis of his ser
mons and what has been done durins
his stay. Suffice it to say the meet
ing has been glorious one, and il
now at its, prime. The manifestation o
an Almighty Power is visible in GU
midst and Des Arc has cause to fee
proud that this great evangelist saw
proper to answer.a call to visit u.s.

THE COUNTY COURT.
Editor Enchanqe:

Editor Exchange;
Under our system ofgovernment, it
is necessary to have inferior and su,
rerior courts to transact the business
that legally belong to them, A
county court in some form is necessi-
ty, but whether our.present one is the
best that has been devised is Il qnes>
ton for consideration. 10 my mind
our present system costs the tax pay
ers too much-much more than is nee
essary to transact the business Of the
county, / believe our quarterly
courts are composed of fifty-six lusti
ces of the peace, at salary of about
two dollars per day, and chairman,
whose salary is five hundred dollars
per year. The cost Of which when
footed up at the end Of the year, is no
small item for tax payers to consider.
Why keep up "A system of courts that
most of our sister states have improv-
ed upon at less expense to the people?
Occasionally there have been spas.
modic efforts to free us from an old
relic Of the past, hut unsuccessful.
The incubus still remains, and will
uutil the people throttle it, and. creatt
a better and less expensive court
The history Of our county court in
Gibson Go. has not proved in thu
past such financial agent as the PEG
pie desire or should have. The coun
ty has been in debt for number D
years, and islikely to remain so if w

A gentleman who paid the best prices
for his provisions, and who liked to live
as we'll as did his neighbors, was once
deceived by his poulterer in the age Of
some poultry he bought. Meeting the
dealer few days afterwards, he walked
up tt his wagon and inquired
"Got any gees to-day?"
ooh, yes" said the poulterer, "a fine
lot"
"How many have you got?"
"a dozen-nice ones" The customer
turned them over, and then he added
"Now, you see, I've got q pesky lot of
fellows at my house, an they eat great
deal of poultry. Havn't you got any
tough ones?"
"Well, yes" said the dealer. picking
them over. "There's one, tive, three,

A minister of the gospel in one of the

on the Cumberland range thought he
would try one of the Rev. "Sam" Jones'e
lodges on his congregation and see how
it would work. He had seen the Rev.
"Sam" use it with wonderful effect, and
he could see no good reason why it
should not prove equally as effective
with him, and he was badly in need of q
mucilage of some sort to make his hear
ers stick until he could reach the "lastly."
On the occasion referred to he as
cended the platform as usual, and, after
the preliminary service, he slowly re-
moved his glasses, and, glancing over
his audience, remarked solemnly that he
was going to deal in some plain, unvar-
nished gospel truths to-day, and would
try, the Lord being willing and helping,
to expose the hypocrisy of protesting
and if there were any person
or persons present who did not want to
hear it, they had an opportunity right
