WEEK ssAFTisR.

Tributes of respect and obituary notices published weeks after a personals dead are not items Of news to tne general pub lie, but are as a rule published as an ex- prcssion on the part of some society or in- dividual as mark -of.high respect for the memory of the deceased. Now it must not be forgotten that the newspaper man s columns are tho same to him com paratively as the farmers land is to the farmer-they are what the publisher has to make his living out of. Hence. it h unreasonable for a society or a body of individuals to ask him to use his space and pay,ou his money in order to give all expression of their high esteem of a dead friend, out of whom while living the publisher never received 'as much as a good wish, free, gratis and for nothing; and hereafter '(except those now in the oflicel we} shall expect pay for publlca- tions of this kind of matter at the raj te of five cents a line. seven words constituting a line. .-Randolph Herald.
 The above is perfectly right and proper, and although THE TIMES does notschargeifor these.notices ,'the lodges should pay..for them. nevertheless.

H,a Temper.

It is now narrated that on one oc. casion famous preacher of New England, with only the fear of God before his eyes, paid visit to King George of England, and he was kept waiting in an ante-room for long long time-so long, in fact, that en- durance ceased to be a virtue. and the good man, in very bad humor left the place.
 Say to your master, the king he said to an official at the'gate, "that my master tells him to go to the devil"
 But you have no master" exclaim. ed the friend to whom he reported the case an hour after.
 "Ay, but l have" insisted the preacher, with a smio. Ut is my temper"
 Suffice it to say that the official never delivered the message, and the preacher, in better humor, later saw the king.-Detroit Free Press.

TIE Woodruff trial drags its slow length along. "Honest Billy" and his attorneys have tried tc take advantage of every technicality and quibble ,of the law to escape trial, but thanks to a just judge, they have failed in their efforts. We think tAe state has made out plain case and established its charges, but what the verdict will be it is hard to say. 1t Is farcical to view the silly attempts of the Arkansas Gazette to whitewash Wood rud and create false sympathy for him on account of his war record, etc. We do hope that the sympathy racket won't work ill this case. but that justice will he meted out. If Major Woodruff is guilty as charged, Of which fact VIC have but little doubt, let him pay the full penalty. Lee County Courier.
 The people of Arkansas have suf- fered..too much through the white washing" process. We do not wish to see Mr. Woodruff unduly punished, but, like our friend Of the Courier. we do truly hope, for the sake of our good name, that he shall be properly and justly dealt with.

Bookkeeping for Farmers.

At late meeting of the San Saba (Trx Alliance the following sensible resolution was adopted: That each farmer be requested to keep an ac- count of his work and mode of farm ing; also of stock raising and his ex- periments in horticulture, also of his expenses and profits and report quar- terly to his sub alliance.
 If all farmers would keep an accu- rate account of the farm. the same as the merchant does with his business. they would find it useful, pleasant and a pleasure to review at some time in the future. To keep a separate ac- count with the different kinds of stock and crops is of greater value, as it will enable them to see more clearly the profits and losses in any of these de- p2rtments of his work, and permit the application of the proper remedies in case of losses. It will also be of great advantage in showing the necessity of raising home supplies. Where provi- sions are purchased in small lots, as required, perhaps, the outlay may seem small, but the well-kept books will show the aggregate to be a startling sum fer man ill debt, it may be. Nor should the idea of keeping accounts be confined to the alliance farmers only, but let every tiller of the soil keep a strict account and adopt systematic method of work and report to some good journal next year what has been the result.-The New South, Rich mond, Va.

The Correct Way.
NUMBER 5.

The Des Arc Guidon contains the following sensible article: We ask the farmers (small farmers) to begin now and prepare for another year. Take the money you intended invest ing in whiskey, and buy chickens. In- stead of selling your corn and cotton seed to get christmas money, hold it to enable you to keep out of debt the following year. Plow up yonr gar den spot, and prepare to raise . gooi garden and live out of it. Bend your every energy to live one year without going in debt for more than what you are absolutely obliged to buy. Pixce the limit to your store account at not over $20, and stick to it. Don't allow yourself to be put in harness another year, for you can live without 1t. On ly begin in time and use little head work and you can start in next spring with q foundation upon which to base a support, but if you wait until spring. your only alternative will be t0 put the harness on and stand in the shafts. and after the merchant takes his seat behind you, you may buck and kick all you like, but you will have to stay there."

Deafness Ca be Cured

by local application, 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 innamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets unframed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and thls tube restored to US normal condition, hearing will be de- stoyed forever. Nine eases out of ten arc caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an inhamed condition of the mucus surfaces. We will give Ore Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Cheney < Co, Toledo, o.

The croaker has no place in Arkan- sas this year. The great majority of the farmers are more prosperous than they have been for years. They have better horses and cattle, more corn, oats. hay, fruit and vegetables, more home supplies of all kinds than they have had in many years-more in all probability than at any time in their history. The cotton crop IS less en- cumbered than it has been for years. Then, as our contemporary says the yield of all crops is increasing year by year. which is due to better cultlva- tion. better farm machinery, better seed. etc. The croaker has no field Tn Arkansas.-LittleR Rock Democrat.

Catarrh Not Local. But Constitu-
 tional.

Dr. bio Lewis, the eminent Boston physician, in magazine article says: "A radical error underlies nearly all med ical treatment of catarrh. It is not . disease of the mans nose; 1t is . disease of the man, showing itself In the nose-a Local exhibition of Constitutional trouble. Therefore, he argues, the use of snun and ether local applications is wrong, and while they seem to give tenn porary rilief really do more harm than good. Other leading authorities agree with Dr. Lewis. Hence, the only proper method of cure for catarrh is by taking . constitutional remedy like Hoods Sarsa- parilia, which, reaching every part of the body through the blood, does eliminate all impurities and makes the whole man healthier. It removes the cause of the trouble and restores the diseased mem- brane to proper condition. That this Is the practical result is proven by thous- ands of people who have been cured of catarrh by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.

The Reports for November Are Not Favor
 able for Il Big Iiold.
 A dispatch from Washington, D. C., under dato of the 10th, says: The cot ton reports of the department of agri- culture for November are not favora- ble for high rate of yield. The late ness of the crop, the extremes of tenn perature, the excess of rainfall, fol- lowed by drouth, causing enfeebled vii tality and loss of foliage and fruit, have been unfavorable for a large crop. On the northern border of the belt killing frosts occurred on tine 29th, and in some places as early as the 23d. West of the Mississippi there has been some improvement during tine past month. The season has been very favor able for picking. Quality is almost everywhere reported high, and the fiber is of good color and usually free from trash. The yield as ar ranged from the country estimated averages l79 pounds per acre dis tributed by states as follows: Virginia, l51; North Carolina, ITS: South Caro- lima. l50; Georgia, 155; Frorida, 120; Alabama, 165; Mississippi. l90; LOuisi- ana, 200; Texas, 195; Arkansas, 2l0; Tennessee ITO.
 As killing fr0sts have not been gen. eral in southern and western sections of the bolt it is possible, with favorable weather following. that current ex- pections may be slightly eceeded.
