THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

IS due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP Co only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless limitations manufactured by other par ties. The high standing of the CALI FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of it's remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as It acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken Ing them, and it does not gripe nor naaseate. In order to get it's beneficial effects, please remember the name of the Company

!. Good Year Gonc-A Better one Coming.

a Good Year G0ne-A BETTER one Coming.
The past year has been IL better one
for our merchants than any for the
past two or three years. They all de-
clare this fact. This being true, Hot
Springs is in better shape than it has
been for the past two or three years.
Everyone enters upon the new year
with renewed hopes and with conf
dence that it is to far out do it's prede-
cessor. There are to be several impor-
tant gatherings here during the year,
the country generally is in an improved
condition, people will be more disposed
to seek rest and pleasure at resorts,
and the sickly along with the we'll are
financially in better shape to seek
health resorts. That new era is up
on the whole country is certainly ap-
parent to the most pessimistic. Let
Hot Springs make the most Of its op-
portunities. Its people must pull hard
together steadfastly. The National
Sanitarium is almost assured if we
work necessarily and understandingly.
Help each other in every laudable eff
fort and enterprise. Stand by one an
other. Help local enterprises; patron
ize home industries; speak all the good
words you can of your fellowmen;
keep trade at home; help those who
help the town. Every resident can
think of something he can do that will
help the town and thereby help him
self. The time of the croaker is passed.
Happy New Year to everybody.

New Years BELLS.


Ring in the new year with gladness
Ring out the old with tear;
There's always n feeling of sadness
As we witness the death of u year,
A year SO swift in its fieeting.
With sorrow we watch its last hour,
Then give the new one a greeting
From the bells in each steeple and tower.
\ sigh for the year that is dying,
A tear where the memory lwells,
Then bnnish the past with it's sighing
Aud list for the voice of the bells.
The song of thanksgiving and pleasure
That welcomes the birth of AN hour,
The soul stirring, vibrating measure,
That rolls out from each steeple and tower.
Afar DER the night shadowed city
The s,lrges of harmony ROLL
In anthem triumphant OF ditty,
They tighten the sorrowing soul.
A voice from each country and nation
Responds to the jubilant hour
And joins in the wild eXultation
OF the bells in each stccple and tower.
A thought for the dead, calmly sleeping,
Below in carth's tlreary gloom:
No Song of thanksgiving or weeping
Can pierce their dull ears in the tomb.
But above. where all heaven rejoices,
And herulds with praise every hour,
They greet with sweet welcome the voices
That ring out from each steeple and tower.

The new year can be likened unto u

placed in our hands. What will the
book contain at the end Of the year?
Some pages will be stained with tears.
Some will be crumpled as il clutched in
despair. Some will contain words of
hate and anger, which will burn the
page whereon they are written. Other
pages will be filled with the record Of
something accomplished, something
done, {" which has learned q nights re-.

New Year In China.

New Year is the national pay day in
China. All accounts must be squared
up at that time, and the man who can't
raise money enough to pay his debts
has to go into bankruptcy, says an ex.
change. The laws are such that the
creditor can enter the debtor's house
and take what he pleases if there is no
settlement. To prevent such action fam.
lilies club together and make all sorts Of
compromises to keep up the business
reputation Of the clan. New Year is q
great day for the pawnbrokers. Their
shops are crowded with people who
want to redeem their best clothes before
the new year. There are crowds also
who want to pawn other things in order
to get money to pay their debts. Pawn
brokers receive high rates of interest,
in which they are protected by the gov.
ernment.-Omaha World Herald.

NEW YEARS IN ROME.
How the King ana Qneen Of Italy
Receive Their Guests.

How the King and Queen of Italy
Receive Their Guests.
At Rome the LIST Of January assumes
additional importance from the fact
that 1t is the day on which King Hum.
bert and Queen Margherita present an
nual gifts to their relatives and to the
members Of their household, and inas-
much as they are both of them very
generous and seem to know by intuition
just what will give most pleasure to the
recipients the festival at the court of
the Quirinal is characterized by an ap-
pearance Of infinitely greater enjoyment
and happiness than obtain either at
Vienna OF at Berlin. The king and
queen stand on the dais under the
canopy in front of their chair of state in
the throneroom to receive with due for.
mality the various parliamentary, mill
tary, judicial and administrative dele
cations commissioned to lay at the feet
Of their majesties the good wishes of the
various bodies which they represent.
But as soon as this is over the king
begins to stroll about the various apart
ments, and q gold deal of freedom and
abandon prevail until the supper hour
is announced. The royal party then
march in procession to small supper
room and with the ambassadors and
their wives take their places at tables
adorned with that magnificent golden
plate for which the house of Savoy is so
famous, while the remainder Of the
guests rush pellmell and in very un.
dignified fashion to the buffats, which
are literally taken by storm and quickly
devastated, as far as everything in the
nature Of food or drink is concerned.
