Cure of Cancers and Ulcers,

Judge T. c. McLendon writes to the Swift Specific Co.,: :"About three years ago, Jerry Bradley had cancerous sore on his face, near the right eye. It caused him great deal of pain. and he lost the sight of the eye but was finally cured by the use of Swift's Spe- -ciic. This case is well known in Wilkes Co.,, Ga, where he lived"
 Mir. l.. Cox, of Arkabutla, Tate Co. Miss, writes Il suffered great deal from old ulcers for years. Your medi- cine was recommended, and after using six bottles was completely cured. Your medicine does even more than you claim for it. I have known it to cure cases which were thought hOpeless."
 Mrs. Goldsmith, No. 674 Warren St.. Brooklyn. N. Y., writes "I commenced using 5. s. $. about three years ago. l had suffered much with a sore throat for over year. 1 used great many other remedies with no good results My little girl, also, had sore fingers; it commenced from the quick, and then the nails would come of. We doctored her for over two years. and when 1 be- gan using $. $. $. thought would sec what it would do for her. am thank. ful to say that it entirely cured her.

TIE Searcy Beacon, published in the same town as the White County Wheel the paper which made that sweeping charge of fraudulent elections, copies the charge and our request for the au. thority, the answer to our request and our question to Mir. Wilson, and decla ration that the office should be declar' ed vacant, and comments as follows upon the whole affair:
 "Here We have the beautiful specta cle of the White County Wheel, the boasted champion of free and fair cleo tions, openly confessing that one of its own men is holding the high and re- sponsible office of Sheriff by the very frauds which it denounced.
 The question simply resolves itseli into this: The charge of fraud made by the w. C. w." and corroborated by Sheriff Wilson, is either false, ol Sheriff Wilson is holding an office SC cured through those frauds, to whici he is not entitled, and which should b' declared vacant at once"

WHAT IS more repulsive to sympa- thetic. kindly feeling for a friend, than ineratitude. The men, with perhaps one or two exceptions, who are running for office on the independent ticket, are ungrateful to the party which has in the past honored them with the offices of this county. They have been demo- crats. without prefxes, when that par ty was prosperous, but when calamity is threatened, and when from unayoid- able causes, the party is perhaps, weak ened to some extent, and at the time 1t most needs their services, they declare themselves independent candidates. They thus show themselves to be un- principled. The action of itself could only emanate from one who believes himself to be greater than his party, and who prefers his election to an once to the success of the principles of dem ocracy.

FRIENDS! Countrymen Are you democrats? Can you tell why you are not advocating the principles of dem ocracy? we don't address the sorehead office -seekers.l We ask the bone and sinew of this land, who have always been true, are not the leaders in this disruption oflice-seekers? Are they making promises for the good of the people. or are they promising any and everything to get your vote and you'i influence, to help them into office! Arc these leaders from your ranks, or are they political tricksters, who have held office, in some instances, years upon year? Friends, these are the questions you should decide. Motives must be sifted, and the embellishments must be torn from these disrupters. When this is done we will leave them to the people. and their verdict at the ballo' box, shall be sufficient for us. We VIII abide the result cheerfully.

TIE following resolutions were unan- imously adopted by Agricultural Wheel No. l147, of Poinsett county.

DEMOCRATS, our fight this year in St. Francis county, is for the success of the party. Heretofore we could fight for our choice among men. This year some of our best men, whom the party would delight to honor, will have to take a back seat, as far as the offices are con- cerned The democratic party of St. Francis county must put ont candidates who are tried and true, honest and eff cient, and who can harmonize the ele. ments. The latter qualification seems to be the stumbling block, and is the great question to determine. There are so many objections, prejudices, and above all, jealous,es, to overcome, that unless the candidate can harmonize his friends to the balance of the ticket there is practically no success awaiting him. Think well over these things and we will trust you to put out d ticket that can't fail.

I have been a practical druggist in Tyler for number of years, and in that time have had occasion to examine. try. and notice the effect of nearly all the highly recommended preparations or patent medicines on the market. and as l have suffered untold misery myself. the past number of years, from severe form of inflammatory rheumatism, and could find nothing to cure or relieve me. l had almost drawn conclusion that all patent medicines were more or less frauds until about one year ago, I was induced by friend now living in Tyler to try a preparation known as 3 B. or Botanic Blood Balm, and after long persuasion on lis part finally made up my mind to make one more effort to rid myself of the terrible afflic- tiOn and it now affords me the great est pleasure of my life to state to the citizens of Smith county that am entirely cured, with no traces of the disease left, and all effected by the magic healing properties of B. B. B., which l consider the grandest, purest and most powerful blood remedy known to man. have been subject to inilam- matory attacks since ten years of age. and up to the present time have had four. The last spell came on me in No vember. 1885, over year ago. at which time l was confined to my bed for eight weeks, passing the nights in misery. with no sleep except when produced by narcotics and various opiates. The week previous to using E. B. B., up to that time l had only eaten six meals, and could scarcely sit mp without sup port; but after using three bottles was able to relish my meals and to walk up town. and after six bottles had been used, thank heaven, I was entirely cured, and not the slightest pain felt since that time. When returned to business in February. my weight was l45 pounds. but gradually increased until my regular weight was again at. tained, 210 pounds. The noticeable fact in what have so cheerfully stated is, that this unparalleled a0d remark able discovery. B. E. B., cured me in mid winter, at the very time my suffer- ings and misery were the greatest. take it on myself, as practical drug gist, to heartily, cheerfully, as we'll as conscientiously recommend this glori- Ous blood remedy to all sufferers of or blood troubles. and not only myself, but the firm of Mckay X Adams, who handle it. will cheerfully indorse it's superior merits.

The Forrest City times., 1888-07-07

IT IS becoming d very common thing to hear the charge that the democratic newspapers of St. Francis county are ''hired." There is no argument in these charges so long as there is no truth in them. We have extracts from leading newspapers of the country every week, and unless otherwise stated, in- dorse them. Will any one say they are all hired The absurdity of the charge makes it almost unworthy of mention, but there are few who have such a blind confidence in the leading dis rupters that it requires no small amount of reasoning to get them to see the point. They are deaf to everything but the little cramped up arguments which they are told to use.

That's what men are who plod along trying to do their business. when they feel half dead. Their eyes arc dim and throb; their head aches; the children annoy them; their wives lose their charms; they lose their ambition; they make mistakes in their accounts, and the whole world looks blue; they hate themselves and everyone else. And whyp If you feel so, why don't you stop and think a minute-or are you too stupid? Your liver and tlood are out of order; that's all. You need a good regulator and tonic. Take a bot tie of Dr. Pierce's Golden Discovery and you will feel like new man. In three days your wife will be the pretti- est and sweetest woman in the world; your children's dispositions will be ex- aetly like your own; your business will improve, and you will make money enough to pay for the Golden Medical Discovery" hundred times over.

PEOPLE Think moment before you applaud. Do you desire to encour- age vulgarity? We have heard quota tions from speeches made by the tail of the independent movement, which should make respectable citizens blush for shame. The language used is re- pulsive to refinement and education, and should receive the bitterest con- demnation of the people. The citizens of St. Francis county should not lose sight of these facts during the incendi- ary, malicious speeches of this mad praying ass.

Au this talk about getting relief by

All this talk about getting relief by organizing a new or third party is non sense, and a poor quality at that. If the desired relief cannot be secured through the democratic party there is no hope for any this side of the grave. But suppose new party could bring about the needed reform, how long would it take, and how many of us would live to see itp It would take Norwood and Ansley almost century to bring about the relief demanded by the farmers. But they are opposed to a reduction of the tariff. and therefore are not trying to do what they claim. It is useless to tell man you are try ing to help him, while at the same time and in the same breath you ask him to vote to increase the price of his jeans pants, blankets and other necessaries. Norwood asks you to increase the price of the poor mans jeans and reduce the price of the rich mans br0adcloth; to increase the price of trace chains, which every farmer uses, and to reduce the price of the rich mans perfume. Will you do itp We think not.-Nashville News.

lt Removed the Pimples.
ROUND MOUNTAIN, TEX,
 March M. 1887

A lady friend of mine has for several years been troubled with bumps and pimples on her face and neck, for which she used various cosmetics in order to remove them and beautify and improve her complexion but these local appli- cations were only temporary and left her skin in a worse condition. I re- commended an internal preparation known as Botanic Blood Balm--which I have been using and selling about two years; she used three bottles, and nearly all pimples have disappeared her skin is soft and smooth. and her general health much improved. She expresses herself much gratified, and can recommend it to all who are thus affected. Mas. s. M. WILSON.

More Facts.

Below we reproduce several extracts from leading papers of Arkansas. con- corning the surprising charge of fraud ulent elections, recently made in the White County Wheel. We have en- deavored to show our readers the state of affairs, and our purpose was the same as the Telephone, of Walnut Ridge, which says:
 HE SAYS ITS LIE.
 Recently the White County Wheel, a red-hot political wheel paper said that c. A. Stuart, of Lawrence county, was a political wheeler, and that Stuart said in the Wheel office that he was willing to take the stump for Norwood if nec- essary, and that Smart said he fought in the army with Norwood and saw him when he had his leg torn of, and that Stuart said there had not been a free ballot and fair count for the last ten years in the counties of Pulaski. Prairie, St. Francis, Lee, Phillips, Craighead and Woodruff
 We copied part of what Capt. Stuart should have said to the White County Wheel editor. Capt. Stuart says the statement made by the Wheel is untrue and unjust. He says:
 "lSt. That ne never Sa1d ne was political wheeler in the sense of want ing separate patty.
 '2d. He said he never said he was willing to take the stump for Norwood.
 "3d. He says he never served with Norwood in the army. Norwood was east of the Mississippi river and Stuart was west of it.
 ''4th He says he did not say he saw Norwood's leg torn off. Norwood was shot at Franklin, Tenn, and Stuart was in Arkansas at this time.
 ''5th. He said he never said there had not been free ballot and fair count in Prairie, St. Francis, Craighead or Wood- ruff counties. As fact, he never heard of any unfairness in the elections in either of these counties. As we copied the statement of the Wheel. we give Capt. Stuart stateneut the same
