CATARRH THREE YEARS.
a Cure is Found at Last In Dr.. Hart.
mans Free Treatment.

It reads like novel. Every word
of it, however, is prosaic history and
exact truth. A young man has before
him a brilliant career. Chronic ca
tarrh has fastened itself upon him.
He tried many remedies in vain. At
college room mate persuaded him to
try Peru ma. Pe-ru-na cures him in a
short time and he goes on his way re-
joicing. Without the Pe-ru-na the
success in life would be impossible.
Chronic catarrh has blasted many a
career. It would have blasted this
young mans career if it had not been
for the kind suggestion of friend.
Read what A. F. Stern, Marine City,
Mich, says:
81 was troubled with catarrh for
three years and tried almost every ca
tarrh medicine I heard of. I went
down to Delaware, O., to attend col
lege, where [ got one of your almanacs
and saw another remedy for catarrh.
I was almost discouraged with trying
all kinds of medicine, but my room
mate told me that your medicine was
all right, and so I tried it. After TAX
ing seven bottles according to direct
ions, was cured and felt like new
man. I recommend it to all who are
suffering with this dreadful disease.
It is the best medicine for catarrh.
I owe my health to you"
All catarrh sufferers will be interest
ed in book written by DR.. Hartman.
1t is an instructively illustrated g.
page book, and treats of catarrh in all
its stages and locations. It will be
sent free for short time by The Pc
ru ma Drug Manufacturing Company,
Columbus, Ohio.

The spring season was very late, and the spring floods make an i'm portant yield in the flooded district impossible.
 The later season was warm and dry. Warmth is needed, but an ex. cessively hot season with long drouth is injurious 10 the crop, and these influences have done much to curtaiI the production We agree with the informant of the Borid that the crop has been oyeresti- mated
 Prices are now aaetuating in the worlds markets, and there has been during the past six weeks de cline in price which the situation does not justify.
 The yellow fever quarantine may retard the marketing of the crop if so, it will not be without compensa tion. The cotton planter should not hasten his crop to market, for with better times and better fec ing there should be better prices for cotton.

OUR FAIR EDITION.

The GRAPHIC presents it's readers today with it's Fair edition of twelve pages. From an artistic point Of view we believe it will eclipse any of our former efforts, or any similar effort ever attempted in this city. The GRAPHIC, has esteemed the Fair as being worthy of some special effort, and we have not hesitated to endeavor to meet the requirement however exacting 1t might be, Tbe Fair is an enterprise fraught with immeasorable possibilities for Pine Bluff, and being one of the original advocates of the enterprise, we have left no stone unturned to contribute to it's success. If this special Fair edition shall serve to attract notice to that notable event, and succeed in impressing the public with tbe importance of the Fair to such q degree that people will come out to witness 1t, then we shall feel amply repaid fer the arduous and exacting labors required in the issuance of this splendid edition.
 We desire, however, to say few words about our beautiful cover pages. The first page design, we think, is very appropriate to the occasion, while it's artistic features are par excellence. The back of the cover represents some unique and characteristic Fair scenes, while the advertising cards thereon represent the leading and largest wholesale meacantile and financial establishments in the city. A con servative estimate of the aggregate wealth Of the firms represent ted thereon places it at S1 GOO, 000 We doubt if ever a single page adyer- tisement outside of metropolitan newspaper represented as much wealth. This is especially credit able to our mercantile and banking interests, and to the GRAPHIC. \ survey at a glance shows that Pine Bluff has a large number of wholesale houses, representing nearly an lines of trade, and those who see this page cannot fail to be impressed with that fact.
 On the whole we think this edition will be ereditable alike to Pine Bluf and to the GRAPHIC.

The New OrH to1td says.
 ''The manager of a great cotton seed oil plant informs the Hold that this years crop will fall about 2,000, GOO bales short of the current estimates.
 "He gets his information from his cotton seed buyers, who go into every part of the cotton country, and he is confident his figures arc accurate.
 "If he is right there is an over estimate of tbe crop which threat ems serious detriment to the plant CTS. For the price of cotton $ de termined by the crop estimate. and if this is greatly too high the price will remain correspondingly too low until the error becomes apparent. By that time the cotton will have passed out of the hands of it's grow CTS and any increase in price will in- ure to the benefit Of the specu. .ators only
 It is difficult to see on what the estimate of 10, 900, GOO bales is based.

 Upon passing through the main entrance of the park II general view is gained of the buildings, race track and lawns. The fences and build ipes have all received a fresh coat of whitewash, and though, possibly, not presenting so gay an appear ance as the Nashville Centennial, still they make little white city that is neat and attractive. Just inside the gate is comhina- ton Ferriss wheel and merry -go- round, which proposes 10 furnish plenty of fun. To the left of this is Machinery Hall, and little further beyond is Floral Hall.

 Criticism Formerly.
 It has been conceded that the degree of civilization people has reached may be accurately measured by it's dietary. Now, some one has said that the American feeds, the Englishman de- vonrs, the Erenchman dimes. In view of this statement one wonders what tho English have been doing through the centuries to have advanced so little. We do not pretend to answer for them, but would say for ourselves, we have been hewing our way through forests, pio- neering i'll every direction. in every sense-ample apology for feeding ill., stead of dining
 But, of course, 1t was q Frenchnlan who made the declaration, and, of course he made it long ago, when, nor tifying though it be, honesty compels us to acknowledge that we may have been guilty. Times, however, and con ditions have changed, and not even the most bigoted Frenchman will refuse to admit that when the American has reached the dining point he will have more to dine upon than any other man in the world. The culture of man in America will demand all the art in his cuisine that France by study has evoly- ed, with tho added merit of honesty ill his food, the disguises incident to pow erty of material not being a necessity. There is no department of supply i'll which we have not the advantage and we are learning to use our materials as rapidly as we have been obliged to learn all ether things -Ella Morris kretschmar Ill Woman Home Com- panl0n.
