FOR awhile it was believed that Judge Edgar K. Bryant, of Ft. Smith, would receive the nomination for Chief Justice. He has made a very strong canvass for the position, (by letters and representatives, but after all. it seems that Judge Bum will knock the persimmon. It may be: something to their awakening for the Supreme Court to contemplate the healthy public sen timent, tho as yet in the minority, in favor of new and younger and more energetic men for the bench. The present outbreak" is but the forerun- ner of grounds well,' unless the Su- preme Court within the next two years develops more of the old time luster.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inhamed condition of the mucous lining of the custodian tube. When this tube is infamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal s5nditioD, hearing will be destroy ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an intamed condition of the mucous sur faces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free.

 This was case of love at sight, and right wisely did the little blind god lead.
 The Doctor has won for his bride a jewel among women. The many graces and accomplishments of tile bride fit her to adorn any sphere. She is fond ly loved by all who come within her presence.
 The groom is a we'll known banker of our sister city, honored and respected by all.
 4 number of congratulations were received by wire from friends at dis tance. The happy pair left immedi- ately for an extended trip through the North and East.

100 Acres of Strawberries.

"While the lack of rain has cut short the strawberry crop of this section" says the VanBuren Venture, ''the results at tained and the prices obtained are very fiattering to Crawford county. Not in- cluding last nights shipments, nor ship ments by express. there have been eighty eight cars of berries shipped from Van Buren. The average capacity of these ears is 5000 crates. These crates have net ted fully S2 each, making each car worth Sl2 900 to growers. A net gain of nearly $500 ,000 Add to this the expense of pick
 ing at As cents per crate, and you have nearly S35 900 paid out to pickers alone. Had the season been favorable. this re- port would be three times what it appears above. Our readers can readily see that the berry interests in this section are sim ply enormous, and to those who have en- gagged in the berry business vefitabe gold mine has opened up before them. A man with berry patch of ten acres can, by devoting his entire time to it, easily net $50 per day, outside of every expense, besides paying himself living wages. There is no limit to the money to be made in raising berries in Crawford. and there is no danger, with the Horticultural So- ciety to look after shipments, of any mar ket being overstocked.n
 There is absolutely no reason why St. Francis county should not plant at least 100 acres ill strawberries. The strawberry crop is gathered very early, then comes the potatoes, and then the cotton and corn. If our people will put i'll cultivation enough straw berries to make it inexpensive to ship by car loads from this place, it will put need ed money in early circulation. We have the potato crops. now, and the benefits derived from them are too pal pable to need mention. Much labor is employed in gathering, and much would be required to gather and ship the strawberry crop. All the crops coming along in successive periods. would soon place this country in a prosperous and independent condition.
 There is movement on foot to se- cure enough men to put in the amount of strawberries mentioned above. Jas. Russell and WIS. Grahum will put in ten acres, Dr. Uooley will put in five acres, and others are being persuaded to plant a few acres. If you are will ling to cultivate few acres, let it be known by informing Capt. Russell or TIE TIMES, as concerted effort is pre- ferable. Do not consider this matter lightly. It means much.
