HAVING been shown some very fine speci- mems of the second crop of Irish potatoes grown in this county by s. 0. Campbell and others, we are inclined to the belief that they are better potatos than any we have ever seen. North or South. Speaking of second crop patatoes. the Arkansas Press very pertinent ly suggests that ''our people should give more attention to the second crop of pota- toes-they are easily grown, keep better and make better seed for the spring crop than those brought from the North. One of these days our people will learn something of the capabilities of our state."

WHAT IS 4 COLDf
Tho Answer Given in Lecture by Dr. Hartman at tho Surgical Hotel,
 Columbus, Ohio.

A cold is the stepping point of more than half of the fatal illnesses from November to May. A cold is the first chapter in the history of every case of consumption. A cold is the first stage of chronic catarrh, the most loathsome and stubborn of diseases. A cold is the legitimate parent of large family of diseases, such as bronchitis, pleurisy, pneumonia, and quinsy. To neglect cold is almost suicide. To fail 10 pro- vide against this well-nigh inevitable evil is dangerous negligence. Pe.ru-na is cure for all cases of catarrh, acute and chronic, coughs, colds, consump- tion, etc, etc. Every family should be provided with a copy of The Family Physician No. 2, a complete guide to prevent and cure winter diseases. Sent free by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufac- turing Company, Columbus, Ohio.

In this great daY of ayarice and compotitiop

In this great day of avarice and competition there is small appreciation of one's interest in anothers affairs. even though that interest results in much good to the individual. in other than pecuniary ways. An example of unussal ingrstitude occurred recently in Monroe county. where democratic county onicer-elect ordered a two-years' supply of printed stationery from St Louis concern. entirely ignoring tue editor who had set up nights trying to think of something nice to say about him which would help elect him Itisn't possible to conceive of more selfish, oontemptible, miserly action than this.

Why Should Farmers Emigrate
 to Arkansas,

Lonoke Guard,
 Because a poor man can get q home as cheap as in any state in this union.
 Because the seasons are better than in any other state.
 Because the climate is so maid that stock does not require so much feed
 Because you can have a good garden nearly all the year round.

NEW YORK, November 8.-The Tri- bune will tomorrow say: The returns, received at the hour of writing are not satisfactory to Republicans.
 It can only be said at this hour that returns are not at hand to justify the, assertion that several great Western states have given their electoral votes to Mfr. Cleveland, and without the votes he is still in danger of disappointment.
 The Republicans have failed to carry New York. In the absence of returns from any considerable part of New Jersey, it can only be presumed that the state has gone Democratic on the presidential ticket as usual. Connecti- cut is claimed with confidence in dis patches by both parties, but the re- turns thus far received appear to fa- vor the democrats. With New York. New Jersey and Connecticut and the Sonth made solid by fraud and whole sale denial of the right of suffrage, makes Cleveland have about 216 Eiec- toral votes, needing only those of In- diana, and Illinois to assure his elec- tion. At present writing Indiana and Illinois are claimed by both parties but without sufficient full returns to to place the result in either state be- yond a doubt.

ILLiNOtS. rs. CHICAGO, November S.-The proba- bility is that Cleveland has carried. .Illi. nois and that Altgeld, the Democratic candidate for governor, is elected by l2,0O0 to l5,O00 majority. Chicago will give the Democratic ticket 5000 ma jority, and the balance of Cook county will reduce that number to 25OOO. At Republican headquarters they do not claim over l2.0O0 to l5,000 for Fifer outside Cook county.
 CuIcAGo. November S.--9 p.m.- The Chicago Daily News extra claims Illi- nois for Cleveland by over 10000.
 CHICAGO, November s. Later re- turns indicates material reduction in the first estimates of Democratic ma joritles in this city and county. At n o'clock the Chicago Tribune and Inter- Ocean refuse to concede the state to the Democrats.
 CHICAGO, November 8-The Tribune says: From present indications the Democrats have carried Cook county on the national and state tickets by 10000 or more, the Republicans not making expected gains in the state, and from advices received at II p. m. it, appears as if Cleveland and Altgeldi would both pull through.
 The Herald says: Probability is that Cleveland has carried Illinois by a small majority, and that Altgeld will defeat Fifer."
 The Chicago Inter-Ocean says: We do not concede Illinois to tue Demo- erals. but it will be very close as to president and governor"

The Times MosRsuiaesr wants to know
what the democrats in the late congress did
TO alleviate the pressure of hard times on
the laboring poor The bswildering atti-
tude of these organs of the scheme of pro
tectionism is pitiable to look upon. Not a
fortnight ago this organ of protection that
stands up for that scheme with the same
stubbornness that the man did who said
the horse was sixteen feet high. was saying
at the present time more men and at better
wages are now employed in the United
States than ever before. and all the result of
McKinleyism. But this is the inevitable
course of all who promote this robbcr scheme
that taxes the many for the benefit OF the
few. Here the Afoaafaiaesr thought II
could make point against the democrat
by admitting what every laboring man in
this country knows too well to be true with
out being told, that is that times are very
hard now and many thousands of laborers
in all parts of the country are idle.
At this very time Mckinley and Other
propagandists of the scheme of protection
are going over the country making Harrison
speeches and in order to allay the disconteni
of the masses. tell them that times wer,
never better than now. that better wages am
paid labor people than ever before, that
what the farmer has to sell brings better
prices and what he has to buy is cheapel
than. before The passage of Bill Mckinley :,
| bill. But the Moantaiaeer even to make /,
weak, puny point against the democrats
confesses what most every one knows to b,
true, that times are harder now than foi
many long years.

There can be no question as to how the
vote Of every intelligent self-respecting
laboring man should he cast at the ap-
preaching election. Il was distinctly stated
in the congress that passed the infamous
Mckinley bill into law. thai there vas
nothing in the metal schedule that could
cause reduction Of the wages paid Labor
and yet the American laborer has been
kicked out. locked out by the principal bene-
fciary of the Mckinley law. for the reason
that he declined 10 accept thirty per cent
reduction in The price of his labor. There
is no escape for the republican party from
this fact. The vote Of every Iahoring man
shoali brand the republican party as his
enemy and the enemy Of his family, and
