 Speaking of "Only Farmers Daughter" which will be presented at the operahouse next Thursday night. tho Philadelphia Bulletin says: ',it was an old fashioned melodrama. but this version presents it more in ac- cordsnce with the probabilities Of life. The dream, which was prominent feature before, has been cut out. The play possesses good Zeal of human interest-to excite laughter and tears is the aim-and, partly by reason of it's interesting situations, and more particularly by the acting of an unusu- ally efficient company, it is successful" "

most prosperous farming sections in tho world are those making the grow ing of vegetables and fruit a speciality. Land fin those sections increases in value until they are worth enormous srms. Land round San Jose, Califor- mia. brings from $500 to 5000 per acrc-used exclusively for fruit and vegetables-and there are at least ten thousand people engaged in the can. ming business in the city of San Jose, and Arkansas helps support them 1; while here lands are idle and her peo- pie need the work.

 PINE BLUFF, ARK, Dec. IS, '9l. To the Editor of tho Forrest City Times:
 It needs no argument to prove that q canning factory would be valuable, while ths shelves of every family gro cery in the land are loaded with canned goods bought in eastern cities and Cali fcrnia, while a surplus of the same material grown in Arkansas goes to waste because there are no canning factories.
 A canning factory-capacity of from 5000 to 5000 cans per day-gill em- ploy one hundred hands, mostly women and girls; will enable all, both old and young. male and female, to find employment; will render the boys and girls self-supporting, giving them ready money to buy the necessaries of life and do away with the credit sys- tenn; will circulate not less than FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS during tha sea son; will furnish ready market for all the fruit and egetables-tomatoes corn, peas, beans. pumpkins. squash raised in the vicinity; nothing the farmer can do pays like growing mate rial for cannery.

The Cause of Rheumatism.

An acid which exists in sour milk and cider, called tactic acid, is believed by physicians to be the cause of rheu- matism. Accommodating in the blood, 1t attacks the fibrous tissues in the joints, and causes agonizing pains. What is needed is s remedy to neu- traize the acid, and to invigorate the kidneys and liver that all waste will be carried on. Hoods Sarsaparilla is heartily recommended by many whom it has cured of rheumatism. It pos sesses just the desired qualities, and so thoroughly purifies the blood as to prevent occurrence of rheumatic at Jacks. We suggest trial of Hoods Sarsaparilla by all who suffer from rheumatism.

In the campaign of last year in
support Of the Mckinley Bill the Re
publican leaders insisted that the
tariff is not tax upon the consumer
Now they are pointing to sugar
made cheaper by removing the duty
and predicting largely increased
sale of our products in South Amer
lea, Cuba and San Domingo, because
the people Of those countries have
been relieved of the tariff taxes upon
various American articles of export
Last year President Harriron and
Mr. Mckinley inveighed against
cheapness, and declared that "a
cheap coat means cheap men,"
This year all the Republican
speakers and organs are trying te
show that pretty much everything
including coat, is cheaper than be
fore the new tariff was passed.
Last year every Protectionist
news paper declared that a higher
tariff was necessary in order to pre-
vent the flooding of the home mar
ket with foreign goods"
This year they are Boosting of in.
creased importations.
The voters will make short work
with thsse fallacies and fables, this
year as they did last year.-N. z

Worlds Fair Notes.

1t Is reported that the Prince of
Wales, Emperor William of Germa-

riously contemplate visiting the
Worlds Fair in 1898.
The managers of the great naval
exhibition at Chelsea, England, have
consented to allow the model of Mel
sons ship, the Victory, to be trans
ferred to the Columbian Exposition.
More than $5,0OO,O 900 of EXPOSE
ton work is now contracted for and
is in progress.
A movement has been inaugurated
by the Sons of the Revolution in New
York to have October 18th celebra-
ted throughout the world each year

The $4,000 painting of Christie

arms, clothing, jewels, and household
articles of the various provinces, as
well as panorama of battle in

At Virginia's Worlds Fair conven-
ton, held at Pulaski, it was shown
that the people of the "Old Domin-

the Columbian Exposition, but on
the contrary, are determined to be
worthily represented. The feeling
was nearly unanimous in favor Of
asking the Legislature to make an
appropriation of not less than $780,

Hold Ye.r Wheas.

A very intelligent farmer Of this
county and member Of the ALI
ance handed us last week, for our
perusal, lengthy circularletter pre-
pared by J. r. Dodge, Statistician,
at Washington, in which be reviews
at length the condition and pros
pcct Of The wheat crop at home and
abroad. After showing how the
grain spectators have heretofore
manipulated the markets SO as to
cheat the farmer out of all profit on
his crops and after citing the facts
and figures TO show how serious is
the falling off this year in the grain
crop all over Europe, be urges the
farmers Of this country to hold their
wheat and not to rush it into market.
He shows that the price of wheat
here mnst go up possibly to $l-50 or
$500 bushel and that even now it
should not be sold in New York for
less than $l.35.
Among the emphasized express
sions of the letter we quote the fol
lowing:
Under such circumstances it is
certain that the true value of wheat
is greater than ever before, and it is
astonishing that Spectators should
dare to bet on low prices.
The temporary safety of the specu-
lator depends on an early crop and
a rush into the market.
No crops that can be raised this
year can change the fact that the
worlds supply is immensely below
the requirements.
The Germen farmer sells to-day
his rye for more than p cents OF
our money per pound. You are of
fered one half that price for wheat.
There is a growing apprehension
of bread famine in Germany and
serious alarm has been caused there
by ukase issued by the Russian
Emperor forbidding the expectation
of rye from his dominions. All tho
indications points to high prices fol
American wheat. Farmers should
study the situatian and post them
selves on the facts so that they may
act intelligently in protecting them
selves against the falsehoods and
frauds by which spectators have
been enabled to pocket the profits
they, the farmers, should have made
