The American Manufacture Leads,

'Linoleum," remarkably durable article for
floor covering has now reached such a per-
lection of manufacture in this country as con-
fessedly to be superior to that of any foreign
make. The importation of the best article man.
ufactured in England has been abandoned, and.
only the inferior grades now find market here.
In style, color and finish, the American manu-
facturers know how to cater to the tastes of our
people and the requirements of our climate.
While the imported cloth, shortly after being
placed ON the floor, will look dirty and dingy,
our own make will appear bright clean and
pleasing. All carpet dealers keep it.

Shook until his teeth chattered, until he was shadow, but at last a friend suggested the Satanta Chill Cure. He came to Little Rock the next week, and while here purchased a supply. The following shows his opinion of the
 FAMOUS CURE.

Mercury and Potash vanquished.

Mir. Wiley F. Hood, known to al- most every man, woman and child Tn Athens, bears the following testimo- ny as to the virtues of Swift's Spe- cific (S s. S.)
 For twelve years I suffered. from mercurial poison, with all of its tor turing pains. I was treated by sev. eral physicians, and was dosed on iodlde of potassium abundantly. This treatment increased my troub- le. My blood was thoroughly in fected; my skin was thick and yel- low; my stomach was weak so that l could not retain my food; my person was broken out with sores which be. came offensive ulcers, and my strength was gone. Mercury brought on rheumatism, and potash had ruined my stomach, and l thought there was nothing left for me to do but to die-so thought many of my friends as I went hobbling along the street. tried all the remedies with in reach, but to no avail. At last a friend suggested the use of Swift's Specific. Like many other drown ing men l was ready to catch at any straw that came h sight. l procured six bottles from Dr. Long. The first bottle gave me hope. The nausea of the stomach disappeared, and by the time had taken the third the hard Jumps on my neck went away; the ulcers were healed; my complex. ion cleared up, my skin smootLed off, and my strength began to return. I have taken in all about thirty bot ties. It has made new man of me. I am a man of 63 years, but am strong and vigorous, eat anything and do any kind of work. l am sound and we'll. It is my honest opinion that Swift's Specific has taken me from the graves mouth and added many years to my life. I would recommend it to suffering humanity everywhere, not as a uni versal panacea for all disease, but as a specific for all blood and skin dis eases, such as blood poison, rheuma- tlsm, scrofula, eczema, letter and catarrh, for l have seen it tried on most all of these. 1 am ready and more than wiling to answer all in quiries tending the above points. l am well known in Athens, and refer to any one or all of the old citizens of this city.

From the report of the directors and treasurer to the stockholders of the Little Rock x Fort Smith rail way we gather few facts that may interest the public:
 The length of the line from Little Rock to Fort Smith is l65 miles and it has n 3 mile branch. The gross earnings for the year 1884 were S5S9, ,07l. AZ operating expenses $343,- 4SS.S1 making the net earnings $245, ,2S2.6l. During the year the company paid $l6s,315.00 interest on bonds, $43, ,43S.69 interest on scrip $7,S5S 16 in taxes and 5,413.32 gen eral expenses, leaving a net surplus of $20.556.44.
 On the first day of the current year the company had on hand l3 locomotives, 10 passenger cars, 3 baggage cars, l59 box cars, ll9 flats, 20 stock, 56 coal, ' cabooses and l tool car.
 The company has sold 436,l2 acres of land and still owns GAP, ,2O3 acres.
