scrofula, dyspepsia, rheumatism, catarrh

DIED

GARRuTHER-At Tyler, TeXa Satur- day, September +, 1896, Wm. Car rLther.
 The deceased had resided i'll Pine Bluff for q number of years and was employed In the machinery depart ment in the Cotton Belt shops A few days ago he left here to enter the eompany's hospital at Tyler, for the benefit of of his health Saturday he died.
 Mr Carruthers was one Of the few men in whom there was little or no guile. He was as modest and un- assuming in his demeanor us a young girl, and no man in this city, at least. ever heard him utter a falsehood. He was as honest as a person could be. In other words, Mir. Carrather was a Christian. He was a member of Trinity Episcopal Church. and was a great worker He was one of the most skilled workmen at the shops, where he was held in high regard and respect by the officials and by his fellow workmen. His loss will be keenly felt.
 de was unmarried, and it is be- liezed that his relatives live in Scotland. His remains will be inferred at Tyler.

4 Handsome Rig.

Prosperity has evidently struck the law office of Maj. N. T. White, although the well-known att torney is prone to deny it. But evidences to the effect that at least . small slice of the much desired article has arrived in the neighbor- hood Of where his shingle flaunts his name to the balmy breezes, are not lacking, for he has not only recently equipped his office with a new type writer, but on yesterday received by boat from a Cincinnati factory on. of the prettiest and most costly double-seated surreys ever brought to this town. It was purchased through the firm of c. Voss x Bro, of this city.
 We are informed that an effort will be made to get the Major to join in the parade with his new sur rey Monday, but, iudging from his past modesty in such matters, the GRAPHIC will vouchsafe the opinion that the effort will be unavailing.
