However, respeeta- blc regiment could be gotten up in Drew county, composed and off cered by Drew : aspirants.
 The fortunes of war and of pub- lie favor are alike-extremely un- certain; but l wish to say a few words in regard to our school, at the present time Everything is moving of pleasantly, and as school is well nigh out, some of the students are making preparations for summers work and some for a vacation. But your humble re- porter sees nothing before him but summers toil. We did think we would go to the war, but since it seems certainty, we would some rather go to school.
 Mr. Editor, you would be amused to pass the D. N. l. build ings, after 1 o'clock in the after noon, for the swelling pitch of the orator $ voice would resound in your eais like the blast of a bugle.

Sister kittie Davis was born May 18th, 1855, and died at her home in Drew county, Ark, Apr. 10th, 1898. She joined the M E. Church South, Apr. 5th, 1863, and was consistent member until the Master, through death, transferred her to the church triumphant.
 Her life was d warfare; her death, victory. All who knew her loved her. She is the third one of the family to die in the last six months, having two children to precede her. She leaves d hus- band, two sweet little girls, one boy, an aged mother and many rel. atives and friends to mourn their loss. To all these 1 would say weep not, as those who have nc hope, but live faithful in the dis charges of all religious duties, and then after while you will meet your loved ones on the sunny banks of sweet deliverance, where parting will be no more. May the God of all comfort sustain them

Women who are too much on their feet, or who are unable to stand the strain of over-work and worry, are peculiarly susceptible to the weak nesses and irregularities that are the bane of womankind. The symptoms of such Arrangements are insufficient or excessive menstruation, headache, backache, neu- ralgia, leucorrhoa, displacements and ex- trelne nervousness amounting in many cases to hysteria. The use of morphine is dangerous and examinations by male phy- sicians are painful and unpleasant.

 necessary to call the attention of our people to the fact that Arkan- sas is going to make a display at the Trans Mississippi Exposition, and that no Government appropri- ation has been made for the same, and that popular subscription of $1.oo each is relied upon to pay expenses, to insure the amount as- sessed against our county.
