 This cause. coming on for hearing on app peal from the county court of St. Francis county, upon the petition of 0. B. Rollwagc and l,046 others claiming to be adult citizens and inhabitants. residing within three miles of the Baptist church house, situated on lot number six td), in block thirty -four (}4, in the town of Forrest City. county of St. Francis and state of Arkansas, praying that an orce r be made prohibiting the sale or giving away of any vinous. spirituous or intox ca ting lu- uors of any kind. or alcohol. or any compound or preparation thereof commonly called ton ics or bitters, within three miles of said church house, and said petitioners being present by their attorneys and announcing ready for trial; and also by leave of court comes Oscar Wolff and others, in person and by their attorneys, and represent to the court that sad petition docs not contain Il majority of the adult inhabitants residing within three miles of said church house. And the court after hearing the evidence and the arguments of counsel, and being advIsed of the law, doth md that said petition contains the names of 1,e7 persons, 4 Of whom are admitted to be non-residents of said territory and not compe- tent signers; that eighty of said petitioners are not residents of said territory; that tho signatures of twelve persons on said petition were obtained by fraud. being mised by the representations of w.

TO ADVERTISE THIS SECTION.

The management of the Southern Inter States Bureau, which Is all or ganization gotten up under the sanc- tion of the several state governments, the plans arranged by duly appointed delegates by the several Southern governors, have written to the pub fishers of this paper asking that they take in hand the collection of means sufficient to secure products from this county to be placed on exhibition at the headquarters of the Bureau, for the purpose of showing the resources of our county and state. There is no cost to us except the collecting of ex- hibits and paying the freight on same to Raleigh, N. C.
 The subscription list is in the hands of E. l.. Vadakin, and We will be glad to receive the funds. as has been TO- quested of us, and to purchase the pro- ducts of our county, pack the same in such shape aS is necessary for safe shipment. and forward same at the very earliest moment possible.
 This is a chance to advertise our sec tion at a very small cost. There will be thousands of people visiting the headquarters of this official Southern Bureau; and no state, section or county should fail to be represented. We are not called upon to spend d single dollar for the placing and ar- ranging of an exhibit. All this ex. pense is provided for already. We only have to collect such exhibits as we think will attract people and money to our section, send them to the head quarters, and they will there be ex- hibited free of cost to us. Those of our readers who have any extra good specimens of cotton, corn. wheat. oats rye; woods, six inches wide, two feet long or larger, of any and all varieties; building stone in rough or dressed shape weighing from five to thirty pounds each; minerals of all kinds precious stones. Indian relics, shells stuffed birds or animals, or skins oi animals; varieties of wines, brandies dried fruits, medicinal herbs, roots oi plants; and in fact anything that is produced or found in our county, will |-confer great favor on the people and aid in developing the resources of this section if they. will contribute sucl articles to this cause.
 These exhibits will not only be on exhibition at the Southern Inter States Immigration headquarters. but they will be placed on exhibition at the Southern Inter-States Exposition which will open in the city of Raleigh N. o., on the lst of October. 1891, and close on the lst of December. Sucl things as can be preserved will bt placed on exhibition at the Chicago exposition in 1893. All articles will be properly labeled, stating that they are from our county.
 We repeat, this is an excellent way by which we can exhibit the products of our soil, mines and forests, and with comparatively small cost tO any one We therefore urge upon our people tG take enough interest in the matter te at least contribute the means neces. sary to pay for collecting the exhibits and paying the freight on same. The cost to each individual will be very small, and we will collect and forward tlle articles, as requested by General AaHo8xr r. D Chiffon. Don't faii tj eonttikele wlsen e,,llstls supony

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering 1t through the mucus surfaces.
