Rev. Mr.. Smith last Monday night. Mr..
Cason was an interested listener TO his
| lecture and noted with satifaction the
changes and improvements In the dark
continent during the "a years interven-
| Ing since he was there. Mr.. Caaon and

Our line OF clothing IL ~ complete az
any In the country. In spite OF the fact
that we have had q larger trade than
ever before. but Jacobson's motto of
Ireplenishing stock in all departments
assures our patrons that We have some.
thing new all the time, and jacobson 10
the only merchant nPope Of whom this
can be truly said.
The rainy season has materially
| interfered with the new brick structures
under way, but II the present open

and Drummond and Swilling block Is
ready for the roofing, and the inside
work Is progressing satisfactorily.
The third story of the bank building Is

That wife and those childrenl What
do you expect will become of them
when you die? Who will support
them? Who will educate your children
and qualify them to make something
creditable out of themselves? Make
this provision, man, yourself-and
make 1t now. For very small sum
less than you spend foolishly every day
you can take out q life policy, and
secure competency for them. Go to
j. E. Battsnfield and he will explain
plan, cost, etc.

here to awaken An interest In behalf Of
the State Exposition project inaugural.
ed by 9 number Of liberal and pro-
grsssiye Little Rock capitalists. The
enterprise ought to be encouraged In a
substantial way by every county In the
state. The benefits deducibls from q
we'll managed exposition are truly in
calculabls and would rebound to the
immediate advantage OF every portion
OF the State. Pope county could well
afford to take 1900 stock in the enter
prise.
When In the course Of human events
II becomes necessary to set aside the
worn.out and out-grown arguments OF
our competitors, It il worth while to
consider what the causes for doing so
are, and we have arrived at the conclu-
sion that Drag, bluster, bombast and
ridiculous assertions are no longer Of
fectual in drawing patronage to any
one house, but on the contrary. good
goods, honest values and business prin-
ciples, such ~ Jacobson is the champi-
on Of, will win In any race, against
old.time methods and prices.

vsrsely to the plaintiff, who appealed

On an average there are over an
hundred dwellings burned every day.
YoURs might possibly burn before to-
morrow morning. Don't be penny
wise, but go to j. K. Battenfeld at once
and get policy written on 1t. 1t will
cost ysu less than three and half
cents = day to get $1,000 policy. II 10
foolish to run the risk OF loosing your
house for such an insignificant sum.
| You squander moro than that much
every dav for tobacco or cigars, and IL
not the safety Of your homo worth as
much as the qualification Of 4 useless
habit?
