PREFACE

Number l of volume XIX. of TIE FINES is bonn in this issue. Starting out upon the new volume, our pros- poets are bright, and our patronage unstinted. No country paper in the State of Arkansas, in towns the size, or twice the size, of Forrest City, would care to compete with this paper as to which had the largest patronage. The bulk of our business is furnished by the citizens of Forrest City, but we have spent considerable money and lots of time in soliciting and building up trade from abroad. Our columns show d long list of foreign adverti- sers: and, in this connection, we point with pride to our outside pages, which contain eight columns of home contracted advertisements, and arr further made conspicuous by the ab sence of two to four columns of patent advertisements We do not allow any advel tisements to appear in our paper unless contract is made at the home office, or through an authorized agent.
 | Our subscription list. too. is larger now. and contains fewer deadheads. and fewer delinquents, than ever be- | fore since the paper was founded. h l this connection we desire to say, we | try to run TIE TINES on business principles, and those who read it get value for their money, and are expect ed. and must pay for 1t.
 We are proud of our patrons, and delighted to say, truthfully, that the business has steadily increased since | the first day we took charge. New customers are constantly being added to our list. and seldom do we lose one, when fair trial of our space or job printing is given. These facts confer the greatest compliment that could be given us.
 s ne time during the present vol tune .,e hope to be able to bring oul paper still more prominently before the people, by the addition of cylin
 der press, which will enable us to send out heater paper, and print Boti sides at home. In order to do this it will be necessary that we have the good will and increased pecuniary as sistance of the citizens of this county It is q matter ill which every citizen who has the welfare of the county al heart is, or, at least, ought to be, in tensely interested.
 Another change we hope to make soon will be to print the local page in the same size of type-brevier-as that used in this article. This will enable us to give you more reading matter.
 In conclusion, let us.ask youF to use your influence in our behalf. Ask your merchant to advertise tif he is not already doing sol, and thus build up an enterprise that will be credit to you and an honor to your county,
 Again, thuking the patrons of ou, paper, we set sail.

By local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There Is only one way to cure deafness. and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an intlamed con dition of the mucus lining of the Etis- atachian Tube. When this tube gets intlamed you have a arumhling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is en- tirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out, and this tube restored to its normal condition. hearing will be de- stroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten arc caused by catarrh. which is nothing but an inilamed condition of the mucus surfaces
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (eaused by ca- tarrhl that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu- lars free.

 Milo Page, of san Bernardino. Cal on Sept 9. writes as follows:
 In 1858 I was taken with bilious col e. being then seventeen years old. Yearly attacks followed, aud at length they became more frequent.
 While pr0strated by a severe attack. friend induced me to take large dose ef Walkers Vinegar Btters. Old Style, probably four wine glasses full ln less than half ali hour was free from pain l followed this up with three winc-glasses a day-one, halt an hour before each meal-until l used up the bottle.
 For over seven years l was perfectly free from bilious collie, but in the fall of 'Ia was engaged in mining in Ne yada. and the coarse food ate brought o,i sharp attack. l was far from any drug store, but ] despatched a courier eighty miles for a bottle of Ninega' Bitters..
 When he returned I was unable to speak, but put the bottle to my lips took two swallows. and in twenty minutes the pain left me. finished the bottle as before, taking three doses daily, and for nine years atterWard NdO HNiittitS llN1 ilV'i AilN t' 't'''NN disease.
 A month ago it returned. but trying the old remedy, Vinegar BitteIs, WAS cured as before.
 write this because you do not es. peeially recommend Vinegar Bitters for bilious cOlic Only those who have suffered the agones of this disease, can understand what d boon sure cure is. and in Old Style Vinegar Bitters you have the best and perhaps the only real remedy known.
 In reply to Mir. Page we will say that Vinegar Bitters cures hundreds of diseases; we have not the space to eat alogue them, and perhaps if we pub lished them those unacqualuted by eX- perience with our valuable remedy. might doubt it's efficacy still, as so many worthless preparations are thrust on the market, and puiIed ill so many eXtravagant ways.
 The fact remains, however, that those who have been accustomed to take Vinegar Ei1teis for any length of time, are hale and hearty, whether they are young or old, Those who doubt and fail to take il. are likely to fall into all manner of ailments, great and small 7. Vinegar Btters, both Old and New Styles. keep those who take them fresh, fair, healthy and young looking, and when we once gain a customer, we keep [ hem always like Mir. Page, who sent eighty miles for Vinegar Bitters, and 1t was almos, ride for life.
 The New Style Vinegar Bitters is a beautiful, clear, dark reddish color, and extremely pleasant to the taste.

The Republican party profess to be the friend of the negro, and he believes It k. IhM party, has fine opportunity of showing it's professions by works at the coming session of congress, by put ling lute bagging on the free list. The negro has an interest n fully one half oi the cotton raised, and the Republican policy of protecting the jute hagging from foreign competition, takes at least Il million dollars out of the pockets Of the negro farmer, while taking all equal sum out of the whites, for the benefit of the Republican jute robbers. The lute Is not raised in this country anu Is imported from India. What diff ference does 1t make to tue American laborer who consumes just whether it is manufactured in the United States or in India? But small number of work men are engaged in the manufacture uf it and many of them imported with the jute. The tariif on jnte bagging is three and one half cents a yard, and ali who buy bagging pay that much more for it. This is q tax. nothing more nor less. on all cotton raisers, for which they receive no return for their ontlay. A clear loss, without com pensation, therefore robbery.
 Would 1t not be well for the negro farmers to hold1a convention and make a demand upon congress for the ahru- gaton of the taniif on j,ae and jute bag ging. Such a course would test the sin cerity of the Republican party in it's professions of sympathy for them, and compel the party Co decide between them and the jute trust. A million dol lars Il yeaf saved to the negro farmers of the south, to say nothing of the amount to the whites. is something to strive fop, Have they got the man. hood to make this just demand-Lonoke Demscrat.
 Now if the Republican party is a friend to the negro let them heed the abose-
