wOODRUFF'S ATTITUDE.

The statement first made by the Memphis Appeal-Avalance, that Treasurer Wm E. Woodruff was short in his accounts, had loaned the money to MT. A. Godbold Gone of his bondsmen) big planter, created a big sensation. Since then the news papers have been sitting the matter and getting at the facts, and, 1t seems there was really something in the reports after all, although MT. Woodruff denied any shortage. It now transpres that Godhold, who was negotiating with focign loan company for money, got in light and went toWoodruff who loaned him the sum of S67 ,00O, taking deed of trust to 3,750 acres of the land, situated near Pine Bluff, as security. This occurred some time since, and GOdhOld. failing to secure the money from the foreign company as he ex- pected, so as to repay the temporary loan of Woodruff, latter called his bondsmcn together. stated all the facts, and they refunded the money to the Treasury, taking the Godhold securities, and agreement of Wood ruff to also give a deed of trust to all his property in Little Rock and Pine Bluff, valued at over S3j, ,O00. This seems to be all the facts in the case, as we glean them.
 To loan any funds in the State treasury is felony punishable by both fine and Imprisonment. It is to be regretted Col. Woodruff, to accommodate friend, was led into such criminal act. The next Legislature will doubtless sift the matter to the bottom-make thor ough investigation. Because his bondsmen replaced the money loan ed, does not release him iron the re- sponsibility of his act.

A Rustler.
roliage.

Ira E. McMilion, for nine years in the employ of Wolf & Bro, at Little Rock, was in town last night on till-in trip. In reply to the editors questions he said My terri tory is all Southwest Arkansas Make all the towns in 30 and 60 days and sell goods in every town and sometimes to every man in the town. Am adding new customers on every trip.
 Where arc your samples "
 Samples thunder I Ionly carry samples twice year. My customers know me and my house so we'll that sell them without samples"
 "How are your collections"
 My collections are supurb No failures in 1890, and no indications of any. There Is more cotton at the gins throughout the country than have ever seen before at this season of the year. Oh, yes, the farmers in South Arkansas will come out alright Ar kansas Is alright, anyway, as regards both the cotton crop ank the political situation"
 "Speaking of politics, ISupposc you heard about Pike?"
 Yes, sir-ee, and I give Pike my double breasted congratulations on the splendid Democratic victory she achieved in Sep tember."
 Mir McMillion is the best dry goods drum mer in Arkansas. Usually the best drum mers and the best men and the best Con- gressmcn are from the same town; therefore, McMillion lives at Prescott where McRae resides when he is not at Washington trying to keep the Republicans from taking the earth.
 Me says that Jones is good enough for him-that he considers him one of the most brilliant men in public life. Says Cleveland is the grandest man in the United States Pike County Courier.
 Mir. McMillion is at home here to spend the holidays. His business this year has been the best since he started on the road, years ago. And he has experienced no losses rom lalluTeS. " OH W Dto', oi bIV tie Rock, is one of the best and most reliable wholesale houses in the country, and with such q clever gen. tleman and hustler as MT. McMlllion to drum for them, it is no wonder the volume of their trade is so large and rapidly inceasing. We congrat- ulate our friend McM on his success ful years work. Wolf & Bro. arc fortunate in continuing him as their representative.

Hor STRINGS, ARK, Dee. 2l.
 Editor PICAYUNE:--As l am at leisure will write you a few lines as to what I think of this city. It is the wealthiest city in the State, and there IS more improvement going on here than anyplace ever saw. Prop erty is very high here, and is ad- vancing in price every day.

A Cure For Blind-Staggers.

- Sulphur Rock Enterprise.
 Mir. Editor :-Having heard of a good many persons losing their hors- es with blind-staggers, thought l would send a remedy that l clipped from the Cumberland. If you will allow me space in your interesting little paper.
 First, the cause: In the back part of the nostrils of a horse there is little flat looking hole, about as large as the flat side of one-half of a navy bean, out of which water is all ways running, and if these become closed or clogged up, the water col lects around the brain and causes blind-staggers. This is the sole cause.
 Second, the remedy: Take long feather, say the wing or tail feather of turkey, and strip off all the webb, except a very little at tip end, and wet it in turpentine and insert it far into these little holes. Then by dis lodging what may have gathered there to prevent the flow of water (which is very little) and as soon as the remedy is applied the cure is af- fected.
 hope you will publish this so the farmers can try 1t.
 Respectfully,
 l.. A. PICKENs.

McRAE FOR THE SENATE.

Why not compromise the Jones' Flshback squabble by electing Hon. Thos. c. McRae to the United States Senate? McRae is hard worker and would make a Senator of whom Arkansas need not feel asham ed.-
 Nashville News.
 First, because Hon. T. C. McRae is just where the people want him and where he can do the most good.
 Second, because it would not pre- vent a "squabble, as there would be one over the seat vacated by Mir. McRae, and one that would cost the people of Arkansas much more.
 Third, because Senator Jones can do more good in the Senate just now than any body else, and besides that the greater part of the representa- tives were elected with the under standing that they were for Jones'
 Howard County Press.
 There is no questioning the fact that Tom McRae would make a Senator of whom Arkansas need not feel ashamed'-as efficient and useful as any she ever had-but as Mir. McRae is not old, his friends can afford to wait awhile before urg- ing him for the Senate. Another thing, Hon. Jas. K. Jones is entitled to a second term by reason of faith ful performance of duty, party us- age andjprecedent, and Mir. NJ. would not, we think, want his friends to use his name at this time in opposi- ton to Jas. k. Jones.

Arkansas has 4,902, ,329 acres of public lands subject to homestead. A large per cent. of these lands lie in this portion of the State, and some of it is very valuable. In an article from Capt. Ansley, elsewhere in this paper, he states there is little land subject to entry in his section of Washington. From letters he has written back here, we learn timber is so thick and large, to clear land there it costs from twenty to forty dollars per acre. So Arkansas is by far the best poor mans country.

Thls being true, he having been the choice of many hereabouts, it IS nec- cessary to choose some one else. Col Ben T.

He has often sat on the Supreme bench in special cases. and, as we have no better man Tn the State for the place, we hope Nevada will in struct for Col. Duvall.

been and is now as good asst ever was.
Can eat in moderation now food that
two years ago dared not touch. Atthe

believe, of the skin; for the last fif-
teen years it has been plague to me.
It invariably made its appearance in
February and lasted until April. When
I got warm in bed it would commence
itching. There was no eruption until I
was compelled to scratch, then little
pimple, not as large as a pins head,
would appear, and then my misery
commenced. have laid many a cold
winters night without any covering I'M
til could stand the cold no longer,
and then would pull the cover over me
and get snatches of sleep. 1 have not
felt it since taking your valuable "No-

of that plague. I write this to show you

OFF1(E Of j. w. NAl<O"EAA<, |
RICHMOND, VA.
Dear Sir,-For the benefit of persons
suffering from Chronic Liver Com
plant, beg leave to call their atten-
ton to your vegetable preparation,
"Nolandine." Iregard it as "chola-
gogue," combining alsot tonic and reno
waiting properties, and in this respect
differing from any medicine I have
ever taken.
The effects of your Nolandine" in
my case, has been on the liver and Sc
cretiors identical with ca1omel; at the
same time, entirely free from nauseating
and facilitating consequences follow
ing the use of that mineral.
I very cheerfully recommend your
"Nolandine for the diseases enume-
rated on your circulars, and am convinc-
cd from personal benefit derived from
its use, that it must become a stand
ard family medicine.
am not alone in the very high esti-
mate place on "Nolandine, and trust
it will be universally known and be, as
it should be, the means of taking the
place of mineral preparations for that
class of diseases in which it has prov
ed so successful and already gained such
areputation. Hoping that "Nolandine"
may reach al1persons suffering from bill
ious arrangement ard prostration from
chronic diseases, I am very respectfully
yours, JOHN w. CARDWELL.
