From Mill Creek.

Editor DEMOCRAT:
j. P. Hair, one Of our leading saw
mill men, is recovering from severe
attack OF sickness.
Wheat and oats are not very
promising; we have only a small
peach and apple crop in prospect.
Farmers are very busy, most of
them have good stand of cotton.
Some have planted corn the second
time. If the weather and season
suits chances are favorable for good
crops yet.
Trade was simply immense last
Saturday. A. M. Sosbee sold $500
werth of goods, cash $44.00. and
trade was just as good at
Forrest, Turner d Cos. This speaks
well for Mill Creek, though we have
sold considerable more than this in
one day. MILL CREEK REPORTER.

Rev. F. M. Shrout, Pastor United

Arthur Love, Manager Loves Emu

ter thorough trial and convincing
evidence, / am confident DR.. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption,
beats 'em all, and cures when every
thing else fails. The greatest kind

friends Is to urge them to try it."

istration the same system has been
perpetuated. And not satisfied with
this the same Senator Farwell has
introduced in the senate bill TO
to provide that "all revenues Of the
government now on deposit in the
treasury and sub treasures of The
United Ssates, and revenues here
after collected, shall be deposited in
such national banks and other bank
ing institutions as may be from time
to time selected by the secretary of
the treasury" Here is another speci-
men of republican consistency.

DURING the last presi Dental cam
paign Senator Farwell of Illinois de-
nounced President Cleveland in
unmeasured terms because his sec
rotary of the treasury had on deposit
with certain national banks part of
the surplus fands. His war cry was
taken up and repeated by other re-
publican senators and partizan press
and speakers, and the republicans
were asked to believe that very
wicked thing was being done by the
wicked democrats. Since the in.
auguration Of the republican admin

A WORD OF CAUTION.

Arkadelphia Herald: This will
be campaign when democrats must
keep cool and be wide awake. We
want no over jealous member Of the
party to do any act, or say any word
which may possibly recoil on our own
heads with unfair effect. The Dem
ocratic party is an honorable party,
and all should be careful that ends
are sought only by honorable means.

BE NAN OR A MOUSE.

Lonoke Democrat: Every union
labor vote, whether so intended or
not, assists the republican party to
that extent, and none know it better
than the voter. If they are republi-
cans they should say so openly, like
honest men, and not strike at the
democracy by subterfuge. We like
an open enemy, but despise secret
lurking foe, that hasn't the manli-
ness to show his colors.

The transition from long, linger-
ing and painful sickness to robust
health marks an epoch in the life Of
the individual. Such remarkable
event is treasured in the memory and
the agency whereby the good health
has been attained is gratefully bless
ed. Hence it is that so much lie
heard in praise OF Electric Bitters.
So many feel they owe their restora
ton to health, to the use of the Great
Alternative and Tonic. If you are
troubled with any disease of Kid
neys, Liver or Stomache, Of long or
short standing you will surely find
relief by the use of Electric Bittsrs.

Facts About London.

Every four minutes marks a birth.
In the next two hours after you read
this thirty babies have been born and
twenty deaths will have taken place.
Think of it! The evening paper that
records the births and deaths of the
preceding four-and-twenty hours must
give 300 separate items. Verify, its
joys and sorrows are a multitude.
London has 1000 miles of streets,
and if you walk them at the rate of
twenty miles day you would have to
walk almost year, and more than a
year by nearly fifty days if you should
rest on Sundays. And if you were a
thirsty sort Of a traveller, and couldn't
pass a puh'lo house, don't be alarmed !;
the 7 900 haze five-and-seventy miles
of public houses, so you need not
think of thirst.
In year London folks swallow
down 100000 oxen, 100000 sheep,
100000 calves, 100000 swine, S,OOO,-
600 head of fowls, 5O0,OOOOOO pounds
of fish, 500, 600, 900 oysters, 10000 900
lobsters-is that enough to figure on?
If not, there are some million tons of
canned provisions, no end of fruit and
and vegetables and 100000 bushels
of wheat. But how they wash all the
fruit down you might be glad to know.
1t takes 2OO,0OO,0O0 quarts Of beer.
