The merchants Of the CITY few weeks

HE merchants OF the city few weeks
ago signed unanimously an agreement to
close their places OF business at O'Clock
every evening but Wednesday and Satur-
day. The agreement was designed to
remain in force only until October 1st
but the advantages of SIX o'clock closing
have been found so great both to en-
ployers and employed that it is now plan
ed to continue the custom all the year
round except from December to Decem-
Der %, when retail buying is heaviest.
With one or two unlmportant exceptions
the signers of the agreement have lived
up to it, and their customers are easily
adjusting themselves to the changed con
dltIons. 1t il a sign of growth and PEG.
pie here have come to realize, as they
have IN most other towns of equal or
greater size, that the household economy
need not demand the addition of two
hours to the working day of clerks and
book keepers. Merchants IN other cities
who try six-o'clock closing always stick
to it and it appears they will here

TIE city council and the Water Works
Co. have finally reached an agreement
The company has for several weeks been
making extensive repairs and improve
ments to it's plant and has put it ID shape
to meet all possible demands upon it.
When it came to arranging terms for the
future the company offered to furnish
water free to a hydrant to be placed at
the clty's expense near TIE elevator in the
Wisconsin Central yards; to place at its
own expense a hydrant near the Good
rich warehouse and furnish the Goodrich
Co. water at maximum charge OF $4,000
per year; to furnish water for use IN the
cemetery at rae not exceeding 15c. per
one thousand gallons; and TO furnish to
the city without charge the water nece {.
sary to be used in improving two miles OF
streets per year. At the special meeting
of the council last week Wednesday these
offers we're accepted by resolution, except
that the company was to be required to
furnish free water for three miles OF
street improvement per year instead OF
two. This the company refused to DO,
claiming 1t had made concessions enough,
and the council last Monday accepted The
two mile proposition. The resolutions at
the special meeting also provided for the
payment of hydranJ rentals since Feb
ruHry LIST. The plant is now in excellent
condition and will undoubtedly be kept
30, barring the occasional accidents which
are unavoidable IN any large system and
which can always be promptly repaired.

On Tuesday, December 21, Stanley Rice, an eStimable citizen of Ashley county, left the Tebbs place on the west side of Bayou Bartholomew on foot with the intention, 1t was supposed, ot coming to Portland. He cross ed the bayou at the Bloomel ferry, since which time all trace of him has been lost, though 1t is believed that he was seen Ill Portland on that day. His friends think he was suffering from mental alteration, and that he may have wandered off and got lost in the woods, while some fear foul play
 He Is about 5 feet 6 inches high, heavy set, light complexion, grey eyes, 20 years old and clean shaven. He had on a brown plaid suit of clothes, blue cheviot shirt, black crush hat and black macintosh and carried with him a gold watch with leather chain and about $60 in money. His wife, who lives at Berea, is nearly prostrated With grief and any information forwarded to her or to his father, Capt. w. C. Rice, Monticello, Ark, will no doubt be liberally paid for.

The Populists of Arkansas put themselves on record as against fusion with any other political party in township, county, state or nation. Why did they not adobt this resolution last year prior to thei1, fusion with the Democrats on an electoral ticket? The answer is easy. They be lieved the Democrats would win in the national contest, and they wanted to be in on the ground floor. The average Arkansas Populist has tie faculty of look ing for his own interests. This year there is nothing in a fusion arrangement in Arkansas for the Populists. The Democrats of this state are not going to sur render a single place on their state ticket, and so the Populists resolve against fusion-Ark. Democrat.

Gold Weathep Brings Catarrh

Though the disagreeab1e effects of Ca. tarrh are felt all the year round, cold and disagreeab'e weather aggravates the disease and it is during the winter sea son that its severest form is felt. Each succeeding year seems to intensity the disease, 90 that 1t gradually fastens its hold upon the sufferer with a grasp that becomes firiner each season.
 Catarrh often appears as only cold al irst, and is hardly noticed. But gradu- ally the cold returns, and it is more difficult to cure, and stays longer than for merly. These symptoms cannot be mis. taken; they mark the first appearance of e disease that will develop in severity and stubbornness, and which it is impossible tocure with the local treatment of sprays, washes, and similar applications. Being a disease of the blood, only a blood remedy can have the slightest effect upon it. S.S.S. (Swift's Specifc) is the only cure for Catarrh, because it Is the only blood remedy which goes to the seat of all obstinate and deep-seated cases, and forces out the disease.

A happy New Year to all.
 Christmas, here, was rather dull. No usual stir of any kind
 The young people enjoyed the holidays with few nice sociables.
 The D. N. l., at Wilmar, gave a very entertaining concert on Thursday night before Christmas, which was greatly enjoyed by all who had the pleasure of witness ing it.
 MT. Murry and sister, of Farm ersville, Texas, are here visiting their uncle, Mir. Nathan Murry.
 Mir. Gus. Caldwell and wife, of Winchester, spent part of the holi- days visiting Mrs. Caldwell's s faith CT, Rev. A. G. Horton, of this place.
 Mir. Trantham and family, of the Bayou country, were here dur ing the holidays.
 Our young friend, Willie Plight, who had the misfortune to break his leg, about the 1st of last Sep tember, was able the last few weeks to get ubout on crutches but, on Christmas morning, he had the sad misfortune to trip on d stool, causing him to fall, and breaking his leg over again. Be sides being extremely painful, 1t is feared amputation will be neces- sary; though, by skillful treat ment, we hope for the best.
 On last Thursday evening, Miss Sallie Hendricks, an aged invalid lady, living near Allis, died. She was good christian, having been a member of the Baptist church for many years. She was peculiarly situated, having no living rela- tives, that she knew of.

It is estimated that the miss ing letter contest fad has taken from the pockets of the people of the country an average aggre- gate of half a million dollars per month and placed that amount i'll the pockets of the publishers of trashy monthly publications and, in some instances, journals that had no existence. In order to protect the people. as well as the publishers of legitimate pub llcations, the post office depart ment has issued an order declar- ing the missing letter contest a gift enterprise or lottery scheme, and has ordered that newspapers and other publica- tions containing advertisements of such contests are unmailable and not privileged to pass through the United States mails. On its face, the missing letter contest was a palpable fraud, for 1t was not reasonable to sup pose that an obscure publication
 
 could afford to pay $100 or give $50 watch for each correct so- lution of an alleged puzzle which any 12-year old school boy i'll the land could solve i'll five min utes. It Is to protect the people and publishers of legitimate newspapers and magazines that the general government sets down so hard on interruptions publishers that have been food ing the country with their miss ing letter contest" advertise ] ments.-Fort Smith Times Democrat.
