Pennsylvania OutrOws the Middies.

The naval cadets and the University Of
Pennsylvania freshman eight-oared crews
rowed a two-mile straight-away race at
Annapolis Saturday, the Pennsylvania
crew winning by four lengths and half
in 10 minutes, 50 seconds, 10 seconds ahead
of the naval cadets. The record is 9.41,
made by the freshman crew of Columbia
College, New York, June "a. 1891 The ca
diets were interfered with by a schooner
getting in their way. They lost over a
length but the referee, Mr.. Claude R. Zap
pone of the Potomac Club of this city, did
not think the loss affected the result.

We will suppose that your occu-

chained, so to speak o the desk in
some counting house, or perhaps to
the loom in some vast mill where
you are compelled to labor from
morning till night. Sunday is your
only day of relaxtion, You return

strength begin to fail. What will
most effectually recuperate your
vital energy?The weight of evidence
points to no other conclusion than
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
your safest, most reliable sheet

your system will soon regain its
pristine vigor. Every function will

is no remedy to equal the Bitters

SPREAD OF THE PEST.
Smallpox in Half q Dozen Counties in
0ur State and IS Gradually
Spreading,

Every exchange we open pub
lished in the smallpox district of
Arkansas, has something to say Of
the spread ofthe 'pitted pest.
The disease is now known to be
in Monroe, Phillips, Pulaski, Pope
and one or two other counties that
have slipped our memory at this
time.
1t is also kuewn to be in the city
of Memphis tennessee, but it is
confined there in certain quarters
and well guarded.
The disease is confined to the
colored people thus far, but white
peopleare just as susceptible TO the
iuoctuous influences as the colored
men and when it spreads over a
territory like it has in the counties
bording on the rivers of the MIssis-
sippi and Arkansas. We cannot
expect to escape it onlyby the most
rigid regulations.
Holly Grove, a small place near
Clarendon, Arkansas, has the pest
and twenty three cases are now
down with 1t,
The peosle there thought it was
measles, but when Doctor Jennings
of Little Rock went there on an
invitation to examine it he pro-
nounced it smallpox.
We again ask our Board OF
Health TO hold itselfin an organized
torn aud be ready to act if the
disease crosses many more streams
of our State in this direction.

Among the fruit and flower nov
elites which 1896 brings US, We no
tice that the enterprising and reli-
able firm of James Vick's Sons,
OF Rochester, N. Y, are already
calling attention to three, which
seem to have woH great favor
wherever known. They are the
Double Sweet Pea, the only one in
the world true to name, Bride of
Niagara, the Early Leader Toma-
to, "the earliest of all the Tomato
family aud sare to become great
favorite, and the 1already famous
blackberry, the "Rathbun."
From the praise ond compliments
given so abundautly to the bride
of Niagara, this Sweet Pea must
be more than charming, and from
thee ncomiums lavished on the new
tomato and this new blackberry, it
is pretty certain no garden desiring
to have the first and best Of every
thing, can be without these three
new corners.
BY the way, readers, are any OF
you so far behind the times as not
to know "Vick's Floral Guide2' If
any of you have never seen it, send
10 cents to this firm at Rochester,
N. Y, and get a copy. You can
deduct this from the first order tor
seeds and the pleasure and informa
tion their Guide will give you will
certainly induce ySu to keep up the
acquaintance.

F.G. WOoTTEN, City Editor.
MAI. A. H. SEWER.
He is Being Favorably Spoken OF by
the Press and the People.

The St. Louis Republic, paper
which has an immense circulation
in Arkansas, publishes a special
from this place announcing the
candidacy of Maj. A. H. Sewer
We reproduce part lit, as we have
never seen it in print. 1t also ex-
presses some views the Major holds,
that if pushed by the Governor,
and could become laws, would be an
advancement for our State;
"He advocates good roads, uni
form text books in the public
schools and system OF uniform
assessment of property throughout
the State and a most rigid economy
in the States finances.
Maj. Sewer is well known over
the State and is recognized as one
of the brainiest men in Arkansas.
He was prominent as chairman of
the Ways and Means, Committee in
the Legislature of 1891, and in 1892
was an unsuccessful candidate
against McRae for the congression-
al nomination in this district, 1t is
quite probable that geographical
questions will cut an important fig
ure in the canvass. 1t is being ur-
ged that all sections of the. State
have within recent years furnished
a chief executive, with the single
exception of this quarter. South
west Arkansas has not furnished a
Governor for something like 90
years, and this fact will be kept
we'll to the front. 1t is a card which
Sewers friends will undoubtedly play
for all it is worth. The feeling in
favor of his candidacy here is prac-
tically unanimous"
