TIE celebrated king-Poston case in Memphis resulted in the conviction of King for murder in the first degree. An appeal for a new trial has been entered, and if that fails an appeal to the supreme court will be made. As the supreme court of Tennessee does not meet until next June, much of the antipathy against King will have died away and new phase given to the Case.

Deafness Can't Be Cured

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 ihiiamed condi- tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta- chian tube. When this tube gets intiamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it Is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the in tiammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition hear ing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an iniiamed condi- tion of the mucous surfaces.

A PECULIAR SET.

These street corner kickerS are a peculiar set. They amuse us greatly. There are those among us who even kick because TIE TIMES tells of the shortcomings of the town and clamors for more enterprise. They don't know perhaps, that it is because we have an earnest, deep-rooted interest in the welfare of Forrest City, and because we think it the pleasantest spot on earth and it's people the cleverest, and best and most liberal. that we present it's shortcomings; and we want to say, further, that it would not be necessary to harp" on these things were it not for these same little kickers, who are so blind and bigoted and stingy that anything that smacks of enterprise is repulsive to them. and they send up their little objections and cry out as though it oppressed them. The strangest thing is that they generally succeed in bringing some influence to bear on whatever subject they tackle. and ofttlmes defeat much-needed inn provement. The reason they succeed is because they "stick to their text" and never tire. They talk their side of the question continually, and thus they accomplish their purpose. The moral is that if there is anything good in the kickers it is the example of tenacitv which they have set, and which we believe is at last being fol lowed by the enterprising spirits of our community. TIE TIMES will continue to call attention to conditions neces- sary to advancement, and among them the first is, that all the little prejudices and the street-corner kickers be ban isled. The people must work in har- mony to advance the general welfare. There must be a oad-gauged spirit of enterprise manifested. and it must be encouraged, and the people must fall in line with it and stick to it through thick and thin. The narrow-ganged
 coutented-to-live-in-obscurity ihdivid' ual must be drowned down and cutter. prise allowed to march on and on unti

Makes the Weak Strong

The marked benefit which people in run down or weakened state of health derive from Hoods Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves the claim that this medicine makes the weak strong" It docs not act like a stimulant, imparting fictitious strength from which there must follow reaction of greater weakness than before, but in tho most natural way Hoods Sarsaparilla overcomcs that tired feel ing. creates m appetite, purincs the blood, and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve, mental and digestive strength.
