 Talleyrand declared that a good din- her had great influence on human ac- tons. This is certaiSly true. Many a man looses his nerve from no greater cause than an attack of biliousness. Every business man should keep in his desk Ramon's Tonic Liver Pills. A box costs only 25 cents. but is worth S25 in it's results. Ask D. C.. webb. your druggist about it, and nave him to give you free sample dose.
 Last Monday morning the residence of E. T. Gray narrowly escaped de. struction by fire. The servant in sweep- ing the floor, accidentally set fire to the broom. tUnnoticed she sat the broom against the wall, and the fire was soon famed into blaze, igniting the paper on the wall, and but for the timely appearance of Mir. Gray aided by w. $. Purifoy, the fire would soon have been beyond control.
 Judge Jno. s. R. Cowan has been in town this week holding an adjourned term of the St. Francis county court.

V. Hancock. All were granted license, and we now have four saloons. which pay a revenue aggregating about S6,OO0 to state, county and town.
 Squire N. B. Nelson is fast gaining renoWn as an adept at cOupleinp of hearts and hands. When met on the street Wednesday morning he con- plained of aches and pains brought on by too much wedding. At the men, tion of that word of great reverence, HE TIMES reporter pricked his ears and probed deeper into the cause of the squire's ailments, with the result that he was able to jot down the mar riaee of Mss Mollie Johnson to Mir. Geo. Greenacre, the ceremony taking place at the home of the bride, one mile east of town.

 Hoods Sarsaparilla Calendar for 1895 is outand may be obtained at the drug stores. It is one of the most beautiful the firm has ever issued and the edition was the largest ever printed by any one concern, being over ten millions of copies. There are two faces on the calendar, both of children, representing Summer" and "Winter.' The design was by one of the most giftful artists in the country, and the coloring is most exquisite. The calendar is not only beautiful, but it is useful. as it presents all the desired information concerning astronomical events during the year. If your druggist does not have Hoods Sarsaparilla Calendar, it may be obtained by sending six cents in stamps to c. l. Hood & O., Lowell, Mass.
 A. J. Smith. an enterprising colored man of Memphis, has opened broom factory in Forrest City on a'small scale and thinks of enlarging his output in the near future. We saw sample Forrest City broom Monday, and it is a good one. The corn was raised iu this county, and is of superior quality our soil being well adapted to it's sue. cessful growth. He, in connection with others, will plant about 100 acres of broom corn next spring with which to supply his factory. Broom corn is worth from sS5 to S120 per ton, and yields about onehalf ton per acre. We understand the price never goes below $50 per ton and it requires much less labor than cotton. It would be a splendid idea for several planters with little capital to encourage this indus try,S and manufacture brooms on q large scale in Forrest City. This is a fine country for broom corn and it is a good paying crop.
