The Fight is On.

The battle lines are drawn be tween tae contending forces of free-siIver sml soldites; a0a there is no longer any middle ground. Every newspaper and every iadi- vidnal, who has the interest of his eonntry al leart shonId cspouse the cause of either the one or the other.
 The goIdites contend that re. none tization ef silver will utterly ruin the country Vhlleop the oth- CT band, the tree coinage men claim that the capntry k ruined unless silver is remoHetjzed One or the other of these contentious IS true. Winch one? This is the question that every AWeritan eiti- zen should ansaer for hlmselt, af- ter thoroughly investigating the question to the fullest. If the goldl}es are correct in their com lectures, no sane man would want silver remonetized, and ii the free coinage men ale correct, then, certainly right thinking, patrl- otic citizen could desire that our monetary condition remain as 1t +.
 Hence, We say. let the light be thrown on; let the information come pouring in. rom the Presi- dent audH his eatinet down to the humbIest citizen III all this broad land.
 We believe that silver should be rehabiIitatea reinstated, be seat ed upon the Chrome along side of gold an'l given an equal show. This done and it would soon find its way out through III the ave nues of commerce and taade until t reacbeI the cepIe, the tolling masses, and supply them with the means te pay their taxes, their dehis and buy few of the com torts of life Snver money is the money ot the people It eireu- Iales free and Is not so easily hoaried, while on the other hand, gold is. and has ever been, the money of inc miser. If there were gold e oueh in existence to supply the demands of trade there might be m argument in favor of it's occupying its present exalted position, but there is not, never was and ne> CT will be; and we can ] see no reason why the people should longer submit to the tihan- cial system now in operation, when, by their votes, it could be so easily changed, and more ac- eeptable one iuauguated. Let the people study the question and get ready for the conflict.

To the Farmers and Fruit Growers
 of Arkansas:

1 have just returned from At lanta, Ga, where l have secured five thousand square feet of space in the most desirable location in the Agricultural Building. This is five times the space that we had in Chicago in 1893.
 It will take at least one car load of grains and grasses to properly decorate this space, and make a first-class exhibit. l therefore call upon the farmers in every section of the State to commence , at once, to preserve the very best specimens of their grain and grass es. These should be cut before ful- ly ripe, tied up in bundles, of from four to six inches in diame- ter, and hung up under shelter, to cure; in the shade, so as not to bleach or sunburn. Keep from mice. As soon as well cured write me and I will give shipping directions. Put your name and and postoffice address on your eX- hibit, SO you can have credit for your specimens. Will want good speclmens of fruits of all kinds, in their season. All fruits should be gathered before fully ripe; pulled with the stems, when possi ble; wrap in paper, box nicely, and no tify me at once, and l will send shipping instructions. In sec tlons where extra specimens of timber may be procured, please write me what may be obtained, l, Give diameter of same, variety. distance from railroad, and proba- he cost of fou1 toot cuts, pnt on

False Impressions.

The Southern States Magazine, Of Baltimore, says of industrial and agricultural development in ArEausas:
 Probably about no other state in the Union are there so many misconceptions and so many inac- eurato popular ideas IF about Ark aeoaS. The famous tale oi the .'AlEausas Traveller has cost Ar kansas millions of dollars. in hay iug created wrong impressions of tde slate, that bavc kept people and money away from it.
 The impressions of Arkansas that used to prevail are not so widely prevalent now as formerly, but there are yet good many in. telIigent people who shudder when Arkansas is mentioned.
 In the mafu Arkansas is, in in. dustrial and agricultural capabili. ties, one of the richest and most attractive states in the Union. It has had comparatively few rail roads, and thousands of square miles of territory within the state have been inaccessible. Reports of government experts, and eXPlo- rations that have been made iH re- cent years in behalf of private en- terprise. show that in timbers and in iron and coal Arkansas is SC coud scm cely to any other state. It is rapidly becoming ore of the most conspicuous of the states in the production of fine fruits. The finest apples grown in America are from Arkansas. In the production of peaches, small fruits, early fruits and vegetables. it is becom- ing equally noted, and for general farming. stock raising and dairy it has advantage that are net else where surpassed. In the matter of healthfulness, too, Arkansas stands On a high plane. Untor- tuuatcly, the condition existing in few localities, along river bot toms, have in the popular mind given character to the whole state. Nothing could be wider of the truth than the belief that Arkan- saS $ an unhealthy state. The at fractions of the state are beeom- ing more and more widely known, and leading more and more to the investment of capital and to the immigration of agrieulturlsts.
 False impressions concerning conditions in Arkansas have long since been cradicated from the minds ot intelligent people, and it Is only the ignorant and preiudic- ed wto persist in believing the damaging reports circulated half a century ago. .Dem0crdt.

The most costly wine in the world is beyound doubt that con- tained in a cask called the "Rose," in the cellar of the town hail of Bremen. It is Rudesh elm Rhine wine of tho year l653, and the cask is replenished, when wine is drawn. with carefully washed and dried gravel.

It IS never sold, but giv- en to the sick of Bremen in very small quantities on production of a medical certificate.

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
Jiln's Letter.

Centre, March 25th, 1895. An
unfortunate accident occurred a
few miles Southeast of this place
on Thursday last which resulted
in the almost instant death of the
sixteen year old son of Mr.. VIII
SCrivner. He and his brother-in-
law were driving a wild Texas
mule to road cart OF ''jumper'
when the animal took fright and
ran away, throwing the boy out
against a tree. where he became
entangled in the wheel and Shafts
Of the vehicle and was terribly
mangled. He was a favoritc son
OF Nh SCrivner, and the shock oc-
casioned by his sudden death al
most crazed his father with grief.
The heartfelt sympathy Of all are
extended to Mr.. Scrivner and fam
lily for this sad affair.

county is far behind as compared

pany, termed company bearers" who
have been instructed in the first aid to the
wounded and in the transport of the dis
abled. These men, under the supervision
of medical officer, render first aid on
the line of battle, and assist the wounded
to the rear to the first dressing station,
located just beyond rifle range, where
the temporary dressings are replaced or
readjusted. Those cases which demand
immediate operative action are designated
by a colored badge, which is attached to
the clothing, and as soon as these cases
reach the dressing station they are at
tended to first.
The wounded, having received attention
at the dressing station, are then put into
ambulances and removed to the rear to
the field hospitals or permanent ones. AS
a limited amount Of material, with which
to make the wounded on the line of battle
comfortable until they are removed, can
be carried by each hospital corps mem
Der. many makeshifts are resorted to,
and he who can best make use of such. or
devise them. is the best man. 1t a mans
leg is broken by bullet the proper splints
are not at hand, so a rifle is used. This
is firmly bound alongside the leg, and the
patient is thus carried to the dressing sta
ton with less agony. A small stone or
bullet pressed down upon wounded ar
terry by means of pad of cloth, which
is held in place by a bandage firmly twist
cd by means of a bayonet or tent peg, is
a temporary means of preventing man
from bleeding to death until he reaches
the dressing station, where his case, mark
ed with colored badge. will receive at
tention at once. Numerous other cases
might be cited. 1t is in the care of just
such cases that the worth of member
of the hospital corps is shown. Another

general exclamation at his wonderful
shrewdness and superior skill in man
aging men.
Such a politician cares nothing for
great questions in themselves, nor even
for his party in itself-although party
fealty is his constant cry; he uses these
things merely as cards in the game he
is playing. The zest of the game, the
exhilaration of winning, are to him in
politics what other men find in the rae
ing of horses or yachts.
The cure lies in the refusal of voters
to be longer used as pawns on the boss
