There are four organs in the human body which are vital in their func- tions and delicate in their structure, and which give us an immense amount of trouble These are the Heart. stomach, Kidneys aud Liver. If they give us trouble il is because we neglect or abuse them, and, of course. we must take the consequences. The dis eases of these organs are very numer- ous, and often dangerous. Luckily we now have a remedy which has proved just the thing for this class of diseases. IL is Pe-ru-na, purely vegetable com pound, that strikes right Ut the root of the whole trouble. This preparation was used by Dr. Hartman most sue |eessfully in his general practice for years before it was placed before the general public. and 1t was its remarka- ble success ia his private practice that led him to place II before the public for the benefit Cf mankind everywhere.

 The coloscl men arc here with us not of their own will and accord. but by an opera tlcn of the general government. and by the power of the government he was made a cit,- zen, with equal rights to the ballot and hetorc the law ia every respect.

 It gives US pleasure to place the above letter from "BoBn before the public. It may be well to state, too. that Bob is what is known as Il ' Fusionist He is sensible man, and realizes that this is the greatest movement for the welfare of the country that can be made. He in dofses our idea that our political diff. fcrences may be and will be adjusted. He is in favor of the convention com posed of ten or more men from each side. This is fair and honorable. We think every right-;hinking man in the county will endorse the right, and that this project is right there is no doubt. We want to hear more from Bob, and from others, no matter who, so that they have the right and justice in their hearts.

 Milo Page, of San Bernardino, Cal, on Sept, 2. writes as follows:
 In 1858 l was taken with bilious col ,c, being then seventeen years old. Yearly attacks followed. and at length they became more frequent.
 While prostrated by d severe attack . a friend induced me to take large dose of Walkers Vinegar Bitters. Old Style, probably four wine glasses full. In less than half an hour 1 was free from pain. l followed this up with three Wiue-gMsses q day--cne, hall an hour before each meal-until used up the bottle.
 For over seven years was perfectly free from hilitsls colc. but in the fali of 70 was engaged in mining in Ne vada and the coarse food ute brought on n sharp attack. was far from any drug store, but l despatched a couriel eighty miles for a bottle of NlnegM BitterS.
 When he returned I was unable to speak, but put the bottle to ny lips. took two swallows. and ill twenty minutes the painlcft me. IHnishea tlie bottle as before, taaiug three doses daiiy, and for nine yeilrs afterward was peri, city free from the dreaded disease.
 A month ago it returned hut trying lie old remedy, Vinegar Bittels, l was cured as before.
 write tlis because you do net es pecially recommend Vinegar Biltels for bilious eolie. Only those wlla liayt suffered the agonies ci this disease, ca understand N hat boon sure care is and in Old Style Vinegar Bitters yet have the best, and perhaps the 0sds real remedy known.
 In reply to Mr. Page we will Say that Vinegar litters cures hundreds ui disrasvs. we have not the space to cat' alogue them, and perhaps If We pub llsled them those unacQnainted by eX, perience with our valuable remedy might doubt lts efficacy still. as st many worthless preparations are thrust on the market, and pUfted in so msl y eXtravagant ways.
 Tho fact remains, however, that those who have been accustomed to take Vinegar BitteTs for any length of time are hale and hearty, whether they aYe young or old. Those who doubt and fail to take IL, are likely to fall into ali manner of ailmeuts, great and small Vinegar Bitters, both Old and New Styles. keep those who take them fresh far, healthy and young.looking, and when we once gain customer, We keep them always, Ike Mir.

OFF TO MEMPHIS.

We have been tied down in our office so long, without even having time to draw good easy breath, that last Friday evening we made up our mind to tear away from the office and office concerns for couple of days. and visit friends and relatives in the city of Memphis. In company with Mir. Adams and DORA ANNETTE, moving briskly up Rosser street, hoping, in the name of fieet-footed Time, that enough of it would be spared us to catch the train for Wynne, we almost flew. We caught the train, and turned our mind and faces toward the great aggregation of men. women and chil- dren. who represent vast proportion of Tennessee's wealth and business Memphis-in other words. the taxing district which is supervised and super vened by David Park Hadden. But. call it by whatever name you will, Memphis is made up of the most hospi- table people. the most muniiicent peo- pie that ever gave grace and dignity to n magnificent city Saturday was n dreary, rainy day. but we were tender ed and accepted an invitation to dine with Mir A. l.. Duyal, of the Tracy Printing Company. Mir. Duval Is member of the Chickasaw Guards, and we dined at the well-served boards of that organization, in their palatial dining-rooms. The Chickasaw Guards have elegant rooms on Second street. rooms that are "beauty and a joy forever" The cuurtesies of the club were extended us during our stay in the city. and it Is useless to say to our friends in Forrest City that we never dined so "profusely." nor did we ever enjoy ourselves so hugely. The club rooms are very convenient in all arrangements, and the furniture is simply elegant and costly. in all of it's apartments. Our tongue is not sui fciently trained in linguistic produc- tion to make sounds or tu combine words so as to express the real depth of enjoyment we felt while entertained by Mr. Duval. He is Il genial spirit, and Il gallant host. To him we owe much for the pleasure of our trip.
