M. L. Heard, advertising agent for
Chamberlain Medicine Co., of Des
Moines, Iowa, called on us yesterday.
Mr.. Heard represents a reliable COM
pany which manufactures a line of
preparations with which our people are
somewhat acquainted, and that have
given good satisfaction to those who
have tried them.
Martin & Hawkins have done q fine
business in Reapers and Mowers this
season, and are pushing their trade
into territory heretofore u%noccupied by
Jonesboro dealers. They have sold
several car loads Of machines, and ex-

closes. This firm will get their share
of the trade and as they are both we'll
known to the people of this part of the
State, will hold their own.

Jesse Bacon, Oldest son of Thomas
Bacon, and a brother of John Bacon,
who died just one month ago, died
Saturday night of lung trouble, at the
age of seventy two years. Mr.. Bacon
had eight brothers, only two of them
survive him-Johnathan and Jake,
both of whom are we'll known in this
country. Mr.. Bacon had lived a wild
over for a number of years and most
of the time had lived to himself. His
remains were inferred Sunday after
noon in the old family burying
ground, and a large concourse Of
friends witnessed the last sad rite.
Last Sunday was a bright spot in the
ever day life Of the business manager
and his better half, who spent the day
with the hospitable family of G. F.
Decker, at his delightful farm on
Chucky River. Mr.. Decker is we'll
known for his generous disposition, and
capacity to furnish pleasure to his
friends, and in our ease we know moth
ing was left undone which could in the
least add to our comfort and pleasure.
Mr.. Decker has n of the best cult
waited farms on the river, and con-
ducts it on the same business like
principle he does his other affairs. His
pottery Is now in full blast, and
turning out quantities of most excellent
ware, such Us no one has seen excelled.
Our visit will long remain a source Of
pleasant recollections.
