Fort Smith has two very creditable
morning dailies, but both lame on their

Steward. of Lancaster. The men chosen
are we'll qualified to perform the work
given them by the governor and in
short time they will have completed
their work satisfactory to all concerned.
As the committee having in charge
of the late celebration are in guam
dary what to do with the surplus money
left over, after settling all expenses,
THE PRESS would suggest that the
balance be turned over to the Hospital
Fund to aid the needy and distressed.
Winter will soon be with us and this
fund would help put the Hospital in a
condition to do great good. To spend
hundred dollars or more to put a gate
on the north side of the cemetery would
be that much money thrown away
Those thai want to go to the grave
yard, as well as those that don {. have
the convienees now necessary. The
committee have an opportunity to do
a handsome thing for charities sake
and THE PRESS hopes they will see their
way clear to do it.

At this moment thousands of men are
standing at the crossroads of life. Death
in the guise of a foolish ambition coaxes
them to take one road, while health and
happiness in the form of wife and babies
coax them to take the other. For the sake
of few added dollars will they continue to
over work and neglect the eommonest pre-
cautions for the preservation of health, or
will they listen to love and reason and draw
back before it is too late ! A man may do
almost any amount of good, hard work if he
feels out of sorts will take the right remedy.

their lives to it and have said so over their
signatures. Druggists all sell II and all
substitutes are frauds.
