FIFE L0eAL NEWsPAPER.

The importance of supporting the local newspaper is not felt as keenly as it should be by the dwellers in the smaller cities and towns, says the Newspaper Maker. The newspa- per is in reality as important a fac tor in local prosperity as the church. It's influence is brought to bear for the benefit of it's locality in many ways that the church does not com pass.
 The intelligence and relative posi- tion of one town as compared with others is to be accurately gauged by the quality of its newspapers and the amount of confidence they in spire. The newspapers of a town usually present good evidence of the moral standard which governs it; for that newspaper which gives it's constituency what that constitu- ency demands is of the only kind which has stability.
 A town that can show q we'll sup ported newspaper, means town whose inhabitants are quick witted people of keen, active interest in what concerns them and their neighbors, while one in which a newspaper drags out Wearily gen orally argues itself the abode of people with sluggish liYers or torpid temperaments, to whom the world presents little interest beyond the limited range of experience immedi- ately bounded by their own senses.
 The excuse which is sometimes of fered that the local paper is not of sufficient interest to warrant the expenditure of the small price of it's subscription, should avail these short-sighted moles nothing. Such people should be told to patronize the home industry and foster it's growth into a more pretentious af- fair by encouragement. News paper men are not slow to respond to encouragement; in ninety-nine cases out of hundred their hearts are in their work and they need but the sign of disposition towards it to call forth their best efforts.
 A newspapers status in a town is an index to most of those qualities by which one judges of it's desir- ability as place of residence and it's commercial prosperity.
 It is the positive duty of every man to help make his town known; increase it's prestige and add to it's reputation of being live, wide awake place, by subscribing to the local newspaper.

Nath Martin Tries to Jump His Bond But Is Captured
 Again.

Nathan Martin had been accused of escaping from the county farm. Nath believed firmly in his inno- cence. There seemed to be such a total absence of motive for the crime. Why should he escape? He He had such faith in his spotless character that he didn't even call for jury. Men cannot agree upon all the leading questions of the day and unfortunately for Nath he eoaldn't agree with the Magistrate. He was convicted, but determined to sift the thing to the bottom. He made an appeal bond with J. M. White and NJ. c. Cross as his sureties, and then tried to make his Deputy Constable Henry Stewart caught him last night He will spend some time with Farmer Oracle.

Your Physical Condition

Needs attention at this time. If you are tired, weak and nervous, it is clear that your blood is impure, and without doubt there has been too much overwork or strain on brain and body. The course of treatment for such a condition is plain and simple. The blood must first be pu- riiied so that the nervous system, and, in fact, all the organs must be led upon pure blood. Intelligent people without number have sesti- ned that the best blood purifier and nerve tonic is Hoods Sarsaparilla.

IN ELECTRTC STREET RAIL
 W1F r

The St. Louis owners of the Pine Bluff street ear line have submitted q proposition to the citizens of Pine Bluff for the conversion of the pres ent horse car line into an electric system, which is entitled to the con sideration of all those who have the welfare of the town at heart,
 The proposition in brief is that if the people of Pine Bluff will sub scribe $35, 900 in stock the St. Louis owners will put in their line, cars, franchises and real estate to $15, 900, thereby augmenting the capital stock of the company at $50, 900, the St Louis parties to receive $15, ,O0O of stock in the company for their present plant and property.
 This seems to us a very reasona- ble proposition, and one that ought to be accepted. Experts have esti- mated that power house can be built and the system changed into an electric line for $28, ,000, in round numbers. This would leave a sur plus of 1000 for operating ex- penses.
 The plant, property and real es- tate of the present car line is well worth $15, GOO, and it is to be doubted if the people of Pine Bluff will ever have a better and cheaper opportu- nity to organize an electric street railway.
 If this proposition is not accepted, we are assured that the present car line will be abandoned and the effects disposed of Pine Bluff cannot afford to be without street car line. The abandonment of the pres sent street ear system would be a ''black eye to every business en- terprise in the city and would re- suit in q depreciation of all property values. It would be sore set=bacl; to the town. It would be a step backward, and an announcement to the world that Pine Bluff proposes to step out of the onward march of progress. It would also be a sore inconvenience to our citizens, and would entail a personal loss and in convenience upon all.
 On the other hand an electric street car line would be new impetus to enterprise. It would enhance the value of all property, especially of all real estate in re- mote parts of the city. It would be an announcement to the world that Pine Bluff is still in the list of en- terprising and progressive cities. It would be an invitation to immi- grafton and capital to come and To- cate among us.
 And above all it would pay. It would be a dividend making enter prise. A contract could no doubt be made for lighting the city, and the revenue derived from day cur rent for furnishing power for elec- tric fans, machinery, etc, would not be small. View it in whatever light you will, it possesses ad- van ntages of inestimable value to the town. It is a good enterprise and would prove profitable investment for every stoekholder. By all means means let the necessary amount of stock be subscribed.

THE MEXICAN OBJECT LES.
 SON.


 The Chicago Times Herald prints story to the effect that the pro prietor of q North Carolina lumber mill recently paid off his employees in Mexican dollars, giving them twice the number of dollars that they had always been paid in United States silver This he did as an ob lect lesson in practical finance. The workmen, so the story goes, were highly elated over the apparent boom in wages, but their joy was dissipated when they found that two of these dollars woald only go as far as one American dollar, though the Mexican coin contains considerably more pure silver silver than the American.

PRUNES FOR THE NER IFS
 A Chicago doctor claims to have
 made a new medical discovery which
 we hope will not be lost to long sui. fering and incorrigible world. This Chicago doctor announces that the prune is possessed of great virtue as an agency in accomplishing moral reform. He claims that prunes act directly on that part of the nervous system where evil passions have their seat. In standardization of his new theory he cites an example of where he was engaged in a reforma- tory institution in which he pre- scribed diet of prunes in eases of rebellion against the rules of the in stitution, and he claims that one weeks treatment would bring them around as gentle as lambs. It has long been known that very effective way in which to bring in corrigible young America to terms lies through the stomach. Perhaps corn bread and water, if given proper trial, would be as effective in accomplishing docility as pruues, but upon this point the Chicago doctor does not enlighten us. All parents and reformatory can console themselves with the fact, however, that prunes are cheap, and that to test the ex- pertinent would involve only nom- inal outlay. And after the good mothers have tried the new pre- scription upon refractory children, if results are satisfactory they might also try the remedy upon their husbands in certain cases,
