A REVERE ON THE FAST.
BY THOMAS RAIN Es .

Look. I caught glimpse of the time
 When life went merrly on it's way, Slumbering through the starry night,
 Dreaming of sports for the coming day. saw the games we played in moonlight And the winding sivery stream; How far distant now from reality!
 Oh, childhood, thou art but d dream. The gigantic and lonesome forest
 Is now mumuring Tn my car; 1 can hear its song as of old,
 But now, that song must leave tear. The kind old chinca-pin tiee
 That we cimed so long ago, Is still resting on my memory.
 What'er think or what'er know Tue willows bending from autumn's gale, And the brook with rippled surface stand Beneath the gentle moonlight
 That covers over all the land An! Is It all a vision?
 know those mirthful days have passed; But still 1 know their sweet memory
 Shall in my heart forever last. Montongo, Ark. Dec g, '94.

Notice to Cotton Growers.

WHEREAS: There IS a move on foot among the Cotton Growers oi the South to organize and discuss the question of raising cotton
 both as to acreage and price, and as other counties in Arkansas are falling in line, the citizcns of Drew
The Monticellonian., 1895-01-18
From Montongo.

A correspondent, who is sup posed to be cotton expert. writes to the New Orleans Time Democrat as follows:
 "Cotton can be bought in Liver pool for October and November. lS95-that is, this fall-at IA pence, equal to about 12 cents in the interior of the South"
 Thus the cotton-grower has be- fore him the cheerful prospect of already knowing that Liverpool will sell him American cotton, of next years growth, at l-2 cents before has put the seed in the ground, that is, 10 grow the crop of this year. What better object lesson than this does the Southern cotton-grower require, to show that an enforced reduction of the cotton acreage is imperatively de- handed? Another, and success tul attempt to raise, agaln next year, crop resembling in size the one now being mark eted will force Liverpool, for October and November, 1895, down to 5 or 3 l-2 cents at interior points, in the South. Far more profitable for the South to buy, October and November, in Liverpool at pence than to plant crop, which in Europe, is already selling at 4 l-2 cents, or less, on plantations.
 The Constitution says: of this correspondent is correct in his statements ana conclusions our cotton planters would save money by not producing pound of cot ton this year"
 know the Editor of the Consti- tuition is great deal deeper, men, taly, than am, but l think the Constitution made grand mis. take when she uttered this sen tence. Cotton is the principal product of the south, it is ready sale at any time, it, makes nodIff. crence if it is cents or 10 cents it is ready sale and wall bring q little cash. 9 10 of the farmers, ot the South will have to buy provi sions on credit, and these provi sions will have to come, 1t makes no difference whether he works . crop or not. he will have to wear cloths and eat bread. Ofcourse i he does nt work much he wont wea' and eat much, but he will have tC buy sugar, coffee, rice, soda, salt and q great many other Httl, things, and it lakes money to bu, these little things. Where will h get the money, if he don't rais cotton? If every body raise corn the crop will be greater than th demand and they cant sell it, so i is with every other product, whe all raise, the crop will be too grea for the demand. We will have t raise some cotton, for pocke c change. Now ] can agree wit the Constitution when it say the people should raise less cotto and diversity the crops. thin :. this would be best. Raise all tn provisions you can at homo, an those that you cant raise at hom, , make little cotton to buy thel
 with. Let your cotton be su lpIus crop, but nevci try |, grow

The BALLROOM GIRL.
Is AssiduousIy Hunting for a
Winter Complexion.
GOOD AND BAD RECIPES.
To Remove the Effects of Months
of Outdoor Life In a Few Days
Isa Work of Science, but 1t Must
Be Done.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-With the ball
room season a1armingly near the girl
who has carried her outdoor life well into
the Fal on the golf-links, the bicycle
and the hunting field is wondering how
she can get her winter complexion" in
10 presentable shape. For, in the glazing
light of the ballroom a soft white neck
and face are a necessity. How to secure
this transformation almost in a moment
has been source of worry to more
than one of the swell girls. Some of
them have not yet solved the puzzle, but
are waiting for a successful recipe.
The unwise maiden and the unw.se
matron well will have recourse to
beaches and lotions of doubtful quality.
They will blister ard scar their delicate
cuticles. Some of the more adventurous
ones viii boldly invest in washes not even
doubtful, but avowedIy deleterious, such
as are known to cause a terrible swell
ing of the anointe1 parts of the body.
When that swelling disappears the fresh,
soft, baby skin is supposed to be the
outer layer. But unfortunately medical
treatment is generally necessary to re
move from the system the poison which
such washes contain, and frequently the
complexion is ruined for life by blotehes
and eruptiOnS.
The wise maidens and matrons whose
papas or whose husbands have the purse
of a CrOesus place themselves unreserved-
ly in the hands of a complexion special
list and are kneaded, steamed and rubbed
back into fairness again. For this ser
vice they pay more or less heavily, and
those who have to choose between a
single face-steaming and the purchase OF
a pair of shoes will do well to choose
the latter and try to manage the former
alone.
In cases of tan and sunburn and of
''sun freckles'' it is the outer cuticle
which is affected. Wnen this is removed
the under layer of skin is found to be
pink and white in color and very fine in
texture. The skin is constantly being re-
moved by imperceptible stages. The work
in curing cases of sunburn is to hasten
the removal of the sunburned layer Of
skin. but not to hasten il so much that
the under layer will be too suddenly Elk
posed to the action of the air. Powerful
acids and corrosive fluids which remove
the epidermis act too quickly and are
moreover injurious in themselves.
The best and safest treatment for the
removal of sunburn is face-steaming.
The face should first be thoroughly
cieansed by rubbing with cold cream.
Then the head should be held over a
