 The river here is still rising.
 If the tax payers of the St. Francis Basin wish to improve their land in value they should take some step to improve the river so that boats can come and get their produce and take 1t to market. It can easily be done by the erection of about three docks placed in the proper places. There are thousands of acres of land idle for the want of way to get the products to market. It would be well for the tax payers to appoint some one to look after the snag boat that is in service here They pull out snags and fay them on bars so when the water Ii; 8, sufficient v they roll over 10 the next bend, thus shifting but seldom disappearing. They fail whole trees in tho river without even trimming lHenl, 80 they Will eaten and sink and then the next ear pull them out at the ta$ payers expense. There is something wrong; the men on the boat do as they are ordered. The work done here has not benefited the river single dollar this year.

Dr. PTERCE'S
 Golden Medical DISCOVERY
Cures Mnety-eighf per cent Of aH cases Of Consumption, in aH its Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be incura- ble, there is the evidence of hundreds of living witnesses to the fact that ill all it's carrier stages, consumption is a curable disease. Not every case but laJee Der oenfdee of oGses. and we believe /ikNp oS per ceak are cured by Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery even after the disease has progressed so far as to induce repeated blcedirgs from the lungs, severe lingering cough with copious expcctoration (includ- ing tubercular iuatter), great loss of flesh and extreme einaciation and weakness.
 Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by Golden Med ical Discovery were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease? You need not take our word for it. They have, ill nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever ill mis- representing them. and who were often strongly prejudced and advised against trial of Golden Medical Discovery, but who have been forced to confess that It surpasses. ill curative power over th:s fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted. Nasty cod liver oil and it's filthy einulsions" and mixtures had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed 10 beue- fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for a short tfine. Extract of malt whiskey, and various preparations of the hypophos- phtes had also been aithfully tried iu vain
 The photographs of large number of those cured ot consumption, bronchitis. lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrll and kin dred maiadies. have been skillfuly reproduced in great Family Doctor Book of 1000 pages giving names and addresses; sent on receipt ot address and 7I eeuts in stamps to pay postage sud wrapping 0niY

Charity.

Read at the meeting of the United
 Charities by Mrs. Geo. B. Pot
 tuS.
 Charity is a word of varied i'm port. We may mean by 1t the mu- tual help that one ought to afford another. It may mean tEat fovo which the text tells us IS the ful filing of the law. In any case it has noble meaning. It uni versal duty-in every mans pow CT sometimes to practice, He that cannot relieve the poor, may mis- trust the ignorant and he that cannot attend. the sick, may re- claim the wicked He that can do none of these things, can. at least, speak kindly. and show by his actions that he feels kindly to- ward all.
 He that can give little assistance himself, may yet perform the duties of charity, by infaming the ardor of others, and reco mmend- ing the petitions he cannot grant, te those who have moro to bestow.
 The widow that shall give her mite, the poor man who shall bring to the thirsty cup of water, shall not lose their reward. But Der, in all this, that charity alono endures, which flows from a sense of duty and hope in God.
 This is the charity that treads in secret those paths of misery from which all but the lowest of human wretches have fled. Thls is the charity which no labor can weary. no ingratitude dctach; that tolls, that,pardons, that is seen by no man but, like tho laws of na- ture, does the work of God in si- fence, and looks to better world for it's reward.
 Would we all relieve, according to our means, those objects imme- diateiy within the range of our own personal knowledge, how much of the evils of poverty might be alley ated.
 Tie sweetest joys of life are 10 be found in rendering assistance to others. We are rich only through what wo give, and poor only through what we refuse, We do most for ourselves when VIC do most for others. If selfishness be the root of evil, benevolence is It's cure.
 Benefcencc is a duty. A benefi- cent soul is like fountain water ing the earth and spreading fertl- ity. It is therefore more delight- ful to give than to receive. When we think Il wise to bestow aims, We should give as we would re- ccive-eheerfuIly, quickly and without hesitation for there is no grace that sticks to the fingers.
 In the whole, the giving Of aims is a duty enjoined upon all. It is proper tha, aims should come out of Il little purse, as well as out of great sack; it is n tribute imposed by Heaven upon us all. and he is not a gocd subject who refuses 10 pay It.
 When charity takes the form of simple alms-givIng, it requires 10 be used with great circumspectlon. It is q very important Christian duty still, it may be abused, and work evil, Tn which case it is not charity. Organization IS great means of bringing order out of con- fusion. So let us, each and every one, take personal interest in our United Charities of Forrest City. and being laborers in good cause, with Gods help We will succeed.
