The Sunday morning issue of the Daily GRAPHIC occupies a unique place in local journalism. It stands without a peer or competitor. It occupies a field distinctly it's own. Itis the only Pine Bluff daily news paper published on Sunday morn ing. Itis the only paper appearing on Sunday morning with NEWS while 1t is NEWS. There are others, ? but they are simply a rehash of what has been published in each of the daiIies during the week and what has already been read by Pine Bluff readers. That's the difference be- tween the Sunday GRAPHIC and the other so-called Sunday papers. Its the difference between a hot meal and 8 cold one

4 Pleasant Simple. but afe Efectual
 Cure for it.

Catarrh O1 the stomach has long been considered the next thing to in- curable.
 The usual symptoms are 0 full or bloating sensation after eating, ac- cOmpanied sometimes with sour or WateFy-risings, q formation of gases. causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing; head- ache, tickle appetite, nervousness and general played out. languid feeling.
 There is often foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue, and if the in- terior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, infiamed condi- tiOn.
 The cure for this common and 0b- stinate trouble is found in a treat ment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has q time to ferment and irritate the deiica te mucous surfaces of the stomach.
 To secure q prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do, and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared
 According to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids.
 These tablets can DOW be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a patent medicine, can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals.
 Mir \. J, Booher of 27l0 Dearborn St, Chicago, Ill.,, writes. "Gatarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head. whereby the lining membrane Of the nose be- comes inflamed and the poisonous discharge therefrom, passing back ward into the throat, reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescribed for me for three years for catarrh of stomach withoutcur but today am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets.

In the death of Mrs. Parkhurst her fam
lily has lost devoted mother aud the com
munity dear friend. Her death occurred
December 10. 1898, in the old homestead
where SIZE has lived more than 40 years "a
place OF romantic scenery.
Her life extended over a period of 81
years. months. These years have broug hi
with them their changes. She was q
member OF a family of ten children and
only one of them survives her.
In July, rs years ago, a great shadow
fell on her life in the death OF her hus.
band, Walter Parkhurst. Her son, Ellis,
a soldier In the rebellion, came home and
died In 1867, being cared for by loving
hands.
Four children are still living-one in
California, one In Sharon, one at East
Barnard and one, Henry B. Parkhurst, re-
sides on the old homestead. He and his
wife have taken the place OF his father
and mother and kept an open house where
all the members of the family and all
friends received hearty greeting.
Three children grew up in this home,
mother and she was devoted to them,
They have reached manhood and woman
hood.
The home of Edwin H. is in New York
city. His business called bin to Cleve-
land, Ohio, and there a telegram reached
him and he fastened home to attend her
funeral, the last tender and loving service
that he could render her whose memory
was sacred to him.
Walter N. Is in business in New Mexico.
Their daughter, Cora j., is in college at
Ann Arbor, Mich. These three children
we're born and reared under the same
roof that covered their grandmother. 10
childhood they were dear to her and in
these later years she was justly proud of
them in their noble aspirations aud sue
cesses. u it had been possible they all
would have been present at her funeral to
look on her venerable face and to place
flower on her casket
After the services in the home the IN.
neral was held 10 the Universalist church
at Barnard village, the officiating clergy
man, Rev. s. A. Parker, being the same
who attended her husbands funeral %
years ago. The music was most fitting to
the occasion. Two beautiful wreaths OF |
howers lay on her casket-symbols of the |
rest and peace OF heaven. Three of her |
children and two OF her grandchildren |
and many other relatives and friends /
we're present at her funeral. All that was
mortal OF this dear mother was deposited |

Loving hearts will keep green her mem.
