The beautiful frog pond on North

The beautiful frog pond on North Washington street, fronting l.. Roll wages residence, affords nightly music of the classical school. The rendition Tuesday night of that beautiful song, Il winna weep to weary thee., was pathetic and loud enough to have the desired effect, and the accompaniment by the residenters were curses long and loud.
 Any one who has ever had an attack of infiammatory Rheumatism will rejoice with Mir. J. A. Stumm, 22O Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, over his fortunate escape from d siege of that distressing ailmept. Mir. Stumm is foreman of Merriam's confectionery establishment. Some months ago. on
 leaving the heated work room to run across the street on an errand, he was caught out in the rain. The result was that when ready to go home that night he was unable to walk, owing to infam- atory rheumatism. He was taken home, and on arrival was placed in front of a good fire and thoroughly rubbed with Chamberlain's Pain Balm. During the evening and night he was repeat edly bathed with this lniment, and by morning was relieved of all rheum- attic pains. He now takes especial pleasure in praising Chamberlain's Pain Balm. and always keeps bottle of 1t in the house. For sale at John Il. .Tipton's Drug Store.
 l A disconsoate crowd they were who gathered on Linden when the sun was low" to witness the demoishing of that old landmark so dear to the memory of many-the old water tank. As each piece of timber fell to the ground with dull and sickening thud, their hearts responded-as the maid ems of old. they wept and would not be comforted." As the crowd gathered around uncle Pitter, each had some reminlsceBce to relate in connection with the old tank. How Grant on his memorable journey through our city, eyed with suspicion, and wondered if 1t was the gallowS on which Hannah was elevated. How strangers wonder ed what 1t was, and for fear of being accounted ignorant of the ways of our country, slyly slipped up the:hll in the small hours of night to investigate. How the Brinkleyites viewed it at a distance, envious of the progression the city was making-thinking it was tower for scientific purposes. All these delightful "reminiscences only tended to make the tear well up in their eyes; and when the last timber was razed. the crowd with weary, Ravy hearts slowly wended their way tS.the nearest "fount" to drown their sorrows in-water. Good bye. old tank, we'll never see thy like again.
 | Misses Minnie and Alice Rollwage. | Willie Mcdaniel and Mrs. E. R. Shade gave an exhibition bicycle tournament at Brinkley last week. They went over Monday, with much confidence in their ability to "cut d swell.n They would no doubt have been successful had 1t not been for the awkwardness of one or the male escorts. We glean from the Brinkley Globe, that the start was made about l:30 D. m.. and that everything was ''perfectly lovely' until the incline in front of the Cotton Belt hotel was reached, when Ellio Palmer's wheel cOllded with that of Mrs. Shade, causing a delay of about an hour for repairs. The Globe says in speaking of the col
 lsIon that it was very diff ficnlt performance, but was executed with that graceful skill known only to MT. Palmer, and received a great deal of applanse. The skillfnl feature was the disabling of the lady's wheel without giving personal injury to the lady. This he executed to periection.' After repairing the machine the party took in the town, and a part of the | country, besides several glasses of Webb & Dennis soda water, returning just in time to catch the east bound train for Forrest City. The trip was very ni pagaut and UrQafly oriavad
