Peculiar

To itself in many important particulars. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is different from and superior to anv
other medicine.
Peculiar in combination, proportion and pren.
lration of ingredients, Hoods Sarsaparilla nos
sesses the full curative value of the best know,
remedies of the vegetable kingdom.
Peculiar in its medicinal merit, Hoods Sarsapa
rilla accomplishes cures hitherto unknown,
Peculiar in strength and economy Hoods sar
saparilla is the only medicine of which can truly
be said, 100 doses one dollar" Medicines in large,
and smaller bottles require larger doses, and do
not produce as good results as Hoods Sarsaparila
Peculiar in its good name at home there is
more of Hoods Sarsaparilla sold in Lowell, where
1t is made, than of all other blood purifiers
Peculiar in its phenomenal record of sales
abroad, no other preparation has ever attained
such popularity in so short a time. Do not be in
duced to take any other preparation. Be sure toge

 OK Wednesday night of last week the clerks office of Pulaski county was broken into and the poll books of nine townships stolen. Great in. dign stion is manifested by the best citizens of all parties and 1t is believed that everything that can be done will be done to bring the author or authors of the crime to justice. A free election and e fair court has too long been the boast of Arkansas democracy to per nit this outrage to pass without the severest condemnation, ana 1t is a gratifying indication of the health fitness of public sentiment when it cries aloud, as it does In thIs in stance, for the apprehension and pun ishment of the offenders against the law and the States good name The democratic motto IS: Make the investigation thorough and complete and let no guilty man escape,

TIE strongest argument yet made for reduction of the surplus is the statement made by the republican politicians that the enormous sur plus no longer exists, but has been dissipated by the ex travagaDce of the Fiftieth con- gress. The statement is not true by any means, but it serves to call at tention of the people to the fact that if they permit themselves to be over taxei to create sn enormous surplus in the treasury, that it is a constant and ever present temptation for cor rupt and extravagant congressmen to squander the peoples money for all sorts of useless projects. The only way to curb the extravaganza of Congress is to allow no more rev enue to be raised than is necessary for the current expenses of the gov ernment.

A Lifetime Trouble Averted.

TATE SPRINGS, renn., July 4, 1888. The Swift Specific Co.,, Atlanta, Ga.
 During the spring Of 1871, while working in the field at my home in Morgan county, Ga, pulled of my shoes to give my feet q rest. Unfor- tunately, I walked Into a clump of poison oak, and in few days my feet were in a terrible condition, and I could not put on shoe because of the soreness and swelling, I was treated as poison oak cases usually are, and everything was healed up, About the same time the following spring, 1872, my feet became sore again, as at first, and every succeed ing spring for five years brought back the same condition of the dis ease, only each tune it became more distressing, because l began to think it was lifetime trouble. Finally l was induced to try Swift's Specific. l took six bottles, and today am en- tirely we'll. My improvement was gradual from the first, and no evil depce of the disease remains. l shall take pleasure in testifying as to it's curative properties. It IS the greatest blood purifier in existence.
 Yours truly, J. l.. MORGAN.

Iris believed in New Orleans that the cotton bagglng corner will be broken soon. Bagging was produc' ed at mill in that city recently from low grade of cotton which stood all the tests of baling, com pressing and sampling. Experts claim that it is superior to jute as a covering for cotton, and mill'men as. sert that they can market it in com petition with jute bagging, even should the duty on that article be removed.

THE democratic house of rspreseI

THE democratic house of rspresen' tatives is just now engaged in proo- ing another trust. Of course It Is very unkind of these democrats not to take Mir. Blame at hls word and leave these "private institutions" alone, but the investigation promis- es to go on. It is the cotton bagging trust that is now being examined in to, and nice mess of monopoly, ras- callty, perfidy and corruption is be- ing brought to light It is shown by the admissions of the bagging trust manipulators that they eombin- ed to rob the people. A more iniq- uitous combine was never entered into and democratic congress could not be engaged in a worthier under taking than exposing it's true inward ness.

The trouble with the papers is that their
slice Of county pap 10 getting beautifully
less, and they are now setting up terrible
squeal in the hopes that BY 80 doing the vo-
tiers will be thrown off their guard, and rep
resetatives sent there who will again allow
them to help themselves.-Do Norton IN
Earl Leader.
The trouble with Doc. Norton Is that he lie
q pestiferous pensioner on the county and Is
woefully afraid his town may "taks
tumble' TO that fact. The only paper 70
tsrs need be on their guard against is the
paper Doc. Norton backs, which WAS paid,
on the Docs recomme ndation, $3.50 for one
lob more than any other printer would
have dreamed Of charging the county or any
one else-the only county paper that ever
had bill cut down in committee for extor-
tional charges The Doc has need to talk
Of d" throwing voters off their guard when
he sanctions grabs Of this kind. 1t looks to
spectator as il his hireling news paper gets
Its pay for putting him IN orders on the county
treasury disguised in the shape of bills
against the county Not until Doc Norton
and his committee got to ordering stationary
did the committee on stationary ever sug-
gest that the bills were high or the supplies
improperly ordered. 1t is notorious that
the only printing grabs the county
papers" ever made have been those of the
past two years which have been sanctioned
and endorsed by Doc Norton. His " Finan
cial Report" was grab from It's inception
1t was made voluminous in aid of grab;
nine tenths of the matter had already been
published and was worthless, but it was re
published in this form to make the graf
bigger; and not satisfied with big thing the
price was made outrageously excessive tC
increase the size of the grab, and Doc. Nor
ton endorsed the bill as reasonable one
The Doc. is hardly in a position to indulge
in the luxury of stoning glass houses.
