the COURT house.

I he late fire under the clerk s
Office should be Il warning to every
citizen of the county, and this
warning should CrystalIze into a
well.defncd determination TO al
once lay the foundation for the
erection Of a court house. To have
lost the records and papers in the
Office would have been a calamity
which our grandchildren would
feel, and in turn heap rcproach
upon their forcfathors for their
procrastination. st. Francis county
is worthy Of crcditable court
house. and while as a county she
is not entirely able 70 erect one,
yet there are some dozen or more
men Of the county who we venture
to say will come to her relief in
meeting the expense Of the build
ing, If properly approved and Sc
cured.
The insecurity Of the records III
their present state is inoeed II de
plorable condition, and no change
outside Of court house, with
special facilities for their care,
would materially improve their
safety. 1t has now come down to
"a point to test the 10y ally due to
ones love Of the principles which
are necessary To protect the pres
ent fathers and assure It's perpctu-
ity in protecting the loved ones to
follow after him.
The recent assessment Of two
mills extra, for the purpose Of
meeting interest on outstanding
bonds against the county, will
amount to "a SO 900 overplus. This
has been donated by the
court as court house fund. Next
year the Same condition Will pre-
vail, creating fund of $4,000
This process will continue from
year to year. But the building is
of such imperative importance that
delay in its construction is dan.
gerous. AS we have stated, it
now romans for some liberal
minded and cnterprising individ.
nals to step up and take up these
warrants at such per cent of inter-
est as may be agreed upon, PUNK
down the cash and let the good
work at once begin. Under this
method, bonded upon the taxable
value OF the county, the security
would be guilt edge.

The wisdom Of the Quorum Court
At It's last term was manifested by
the following action, copied from
the county records;
"On this day comes Justice II.
G. Smith and offered the following
resolution, which was by the Court
unanimously adopted;
Whereas, The county records
are in great danger from fire, stu
ated as at present; therefore be ii
Resolved, That it Is the sense
of the Quorum Court Of ST. Fran
els county, duly assembled, that it
Is the duty Of the County Court to
max e some provision for their bet
ter protection and preservation
ard suggest that the clerks office
be removed TO the residence part
OF the county, thereby reducing
such danger and saving rent.
"Made and entered Oct. 6, 1896. "
1t is believed that the authori.
ties will comply with the above
suggestion, abiding the building OF
clerks Office and vaults. This
last scare has awakened them 10
action.

1t should ever be the aim Of the
farmer TO grow as much as posi-
bic on the land at his command. A
| rge crop on Il small plot costs
less proporlionately than a small
crop on IA large plot, and also gives
"a profit when the larger plot may
be cultivated at loss.
If You have any extra money
this year put it in shelter-roof.
BY so doing more corn fodder can
be saved, more stock can be kept,
and more manure made. The roof
saves food and promotes economy
on the farm. A leaky roof is a
source of disease and discomfort to
stock and permits loss of gram
and hay. One dollar expended on
a lesky roof may save hundreds of
dollars and many hours of time.
There is one thing that goes to
waste on hundreds OF farms, and
that Is honey. The farmer who
does not keep bees loses that
which he should save and use.
Bees also serve very useful pur-
pose in distributing pollen, thus
insuring crops that would fail with
out their aid. A single hive OF
bees will be worth quite n sum TO
the farmer in moro ways than one.
Where fruit is grown bees are most
essential to success.

Cause and Effect.

Success can only be assured by going back
to the cause in the treatment of disease.
Many Doctors can zee the.effects only, such
as are visible to the eye, and treat the SYM
ptoms, but while the cause exists cure is
impossible and herein lies the secret of so
many failures. The skilled Specialist devotes
all his study to few diseases and become as
familiar with them as you do with the faces
of your family. When he sees a Skin Dis
ease, he knows just where the cause lies, ana
just what to do.
If you have exposed yourself to disease and
there appears a suspicious sore, to his ex
perienced eye, it becomes plain whether it is a
poison in the blood or local trouble.
So it is with Loss Manhood, Gonorrhoea,
Syphilis, Early Vices, and other Diseases OF
this class.

diseases and possesses skill and methods OF
treatment unexcelled.

The officers Of the garrison agree
with the secretary of war in his
views on prize drills. They say
that the influence of prize drills

very bad, and they are pleased the
secretary has expressed himself on
the subject.
The following transfers are an
nounced in the Twenty-third in
fantry stationed atsFort Clark !:
Capt. Pratt, B to X; Capt. Cowles,

Sir: l am desired by the secre-
tary of war to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your letter OF the 10th ult.

army to act as judges Of COMPETE
tive prize drills, and to say that,
while officers have been permitted
or authorized to act as judges
of such drills, they have not
been ordered or detailed to
perform such services. The
secretary realizes that even this
