In Memory of Julia G. Bonner.

Who died at her home, in Forrest City, on March 10. 1893.
 ''Who shall ascend into the hill of the LOrdY or who shall rise up in His holy placer"
 Clear and strong through the ages. the answer has come down Co us: "lfe that hath clean hands and pure heart"
 Oh blessed promise With it's sweetness in our hearts, grief hisheS it's clamnr. and the waves of sorrow are stillpd. To one to whom was per mitted close walk beside the beaut ful life just ended here, doubt or fear is impossible. Sbe has ascended the hill of the Lord. and entered His holy place. Sine has conquered the mystery Oi death. and stands eager and glad iu the great dawn of eternity Why should We wall our loss. and make but ter moan that she is ours no moreY Let us rather a ak. nHow fares 1t with the happy dead? and take comfort in the conviction that with her there Is rIo regret. And yet. friends who loved her. our loss Is great It is d loss that can never be repaired and that only time can soften No truer friend. no more devoted mother, wife aud sister, WAS ever yielded up. Her life was one long record of love and kindness and self-sacrifice. She gave of her best freely and unspaiing V to those whom she loved, with no care for self and no thought of reward, but the joy such service gave her Surely no heart can shut within itself the memory of her beauty and goodness, and fail to be sweetened and ennobled thereby She taught us how good thing human l life may be. and so with her memory always with us. let us take up our lives again bravely aud plaingly. The faith and trust that sustained her
 may be ours, and always there is the star of God'spromise that we shall meet our dead agait.

In placing the above stallions before the public at this low service fee. we do so trusting you will take advantage of it and improve your stock, knowing it will prove a good investment.
 The question with farmers is, what sort of q colt they will find it tine most profitable to raise. This of course de- bends to great extent on the ability and taste of the farmer.
 There are some farmers. however, who hayea taste for good horses. suitable for use on the road. and for fine carriage teams and general purpose It is to this class of intelligent breeders that l wish to state few facts for their consideration.
 For superior horses of the roadster or carriage type, there is always market at prices that return a good profit to the breeders. There are many who breed a poor class of mares to inferior stallion. with tile natural results that they never have anything for sale that is wanted for any but the most ordinary use; of this kind Of horses the market is always over stocked If farmers would breed their best mares to the most popular standard bred stallion.a and the produce came lilly. they would then have a standard produc- ing mare when bred to a standard stallion. The third generation will pslce you where you belong, possessing standard stock. For such stock you alwaNs find ready market at good prices. Lon't let the ice charged settle the matter, but consider that the increased value of the colt wll easily be much more than the amount os the fee The best is none too good. Then why breed 10 dunghilI IL cost no miore to raise good one than it dues a poor one.
 In breeding the above stalIions We in- sure you colt. the service lee [" be paid when mare is known io be in foal
 Mares from distance kept on grass \ Sl. per week. kept on grain B The best of care will be taken of all stock left with LIS, but no responsibility for accidents Or escapes. The above horses can be seen at the Fair Grounds. this city.

An Amusing Game.

At times at parties time hangs heavy with d number of young people heavy with some because they are bash ful. heavy with others because they are at outs with their best girl or fellow. To these as we'll as to others attending we suggest the following new game: II love my love with an A. all the fun depends upon it's being kept up bliskly. Any player who requires more than ten seconds to think is counted out. One begins. love my love with an A be- cause he is able hate him with an A because he is ahject. He took me to the sign of the Antic and treated me to artichokes and absinth.n The next continues II love my love with B be- cause he is bankrupt. l hate him with d E because he is bald, He took me to the sigr, of the Bachelor, and treated me to biscuits and bananas" SD the game goes on through the alphabet. This may seem little simple in writing, but try the game and see how much fun can be derived from it.

A Potato Raiser.

F. c. Denahower of near Haynes, was in the city Wednesday seeking in- formation about our canning factory. MT. Denahower informs Us that he raised 800 bushels of Irish potatoes last fall on four acres of land. which he sold for Sl,25 per bushel This brings in a revenue of S150 for tour acres. or a little over $lS5 per acre. Every bush el was disposed of. There is no need of saying that farming will not pay. The planting of cotton as the sole mainstay is what is making the farm er's pocket book so lean.

THE Iowa Supreme Court has rem

from house to house in Stuart taking
verbal orders for spoons, albums, etc.
A few days later the merchandise
was shipped to Stuart and delivered
to the purchasers by one Cunning
ham. While thus engaged he was
arrested for violating an ordinance
prohibiting peddlers from selling or
Offering for sale goods or merchandise
along the streets or from house to
house. The case finally reached the
Supreme Court, where the defendant
was ordered discharged. The court
says that the authorities are not
agreed as to what constitutes a ped
dler, but it adds that its attention
has not been called to any authority
which holds that person who deliv-
ers goods previously sold by another
Is peddler within the ordinary use
of that term. The defendant did
