A Fatal Mistake.

Physicians make no more fatal mistake than when they inform patients that ner- vous heart troubles come from the stom- ach, and are of little consequence. Dr. Franklin Miles, the noted Indiana special ist, has proven the contrary in his new book on "Heart Disease" which may be had free at Winthrop X Co.'s drug store, which guarantees and recommends Dr. Miles unequaled New Heart Cure, which has the largest sale of any heart remedy in the world. It cures nervous and organic heart disease, snort breath, fiuttering, pain or tenderness in the side, arm or shoulder, irregular pulse, fainting, smothering, dropsy, etc. His Restorative Nervine cures headache, fits, etc.

sror Ark REFLECT.

IN anticipation of a large crop Tthis year farmers should stop and reflect whither they are drifting. Cotton is no longer collateral. The merchant being unable to get any. price for the crop already on hand, wh.ticaA ihe cx- pect when the new crop comes to mar ket? Our country is capable of pro- ducing anything that grows under the sun, and almost any crop will pay bet ter than cotton. The time has come when a halt should be called, and a trial of diversified crop will convince our people that cotton is no longer king. There is more money in pota- toes, fruits, berries, corn, oats and wheat.

MEETING wIrH MUCH FAVOR.

THE plan for working the skilled la bor within the walls of the penitentiary and using the unskilled for working the roads in the state is meeting "Sth much favor among the press, and should be made an issue in the next campaign. No state needs roads more than Arkansas. and utilizing this labor for that purpose would not conflict with free labor to any degree, would add much percentage to the value of the land, and would settle the question of convict labor satisfactorily.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For q great many years doctors pro- nounced 1t a local disease, and pre- scribed local remedies, and by con stantly failing to cure with local treat ment. pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitu- tional disease. and therefore requiring constitutional treatment. Halls Ca tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.. Cheney & Co.,. Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally M doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

CONVICT LABOR.

TIE St. Louis Republic expresses our sentiments on the convict labor question in the following brief sen tence:
 ..The sooner Arkansas gets rid of it's convict leasing system the better it will be for the progress and prosperity of the state. The plan of keeping gangs of convicts, to be shifted from point tB point where rough labor is needed, may put money into the pock- cts of the contractors, but it does not tend to make Arkansas attractive to people whose wages arc liable at any time to be cut down or taken away altogether by means of the c0nvicts. ,

How to Succeed.

This is the great problem of life which few satisfactorily solve. Some fail be- cause of poor health, others want of luck, but the majority from deficient grit want of nerve. They are nervous, ir- resolute, changeable, easily get the blues and take the spirits down to keep the spirits up," thus wasting money, time, opportunity and nerve force. There is nothing like the Restorative Nervine. dis covered by the great specialist, Dr. Miles. to cure all nervous diseases, such as head ache, the blues, nervous prostration, sleeplessness, neuralgia, St. Vitus dance. fits and hysteria.
