Thousands have tried from time imme-
mortal to discover some efficacious remedy
for wrinkles and other imperfections Of
the complexion, but none had yet sue
ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now fam
Gus Complexion Specialists, of 10 Fifth
Avenue, New York City, offered the pub
lie their wonderful Complexion Tonic.
The reason so many failed to make this
discovery before is plain, because they have
not followed the right principle. Balms,
Creams, Lotions etc, never have tonic
effect upon the skin, hence the failures.
The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has
most exhilarating effect upon the cuticle,
absorbing and carrying off all impurities
which the blood by its natural action is
constantly forcing to the surface of the
skin. 1t is to the skin what vitalizing
tonic Is to the blood and nerves. a kind of
new life that Immediately exhilarates and
strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic
effect is felt almost immediately and it
speedily banishcs forever from the skin,
frecklcs, pimples, blackheads, moth
patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughness,
oiliness, eruptions and discolorations of
any kind.
In order that all may be benefited by
their Great Discovery the Misses Bell WILL
during the present month, give to all cali

Better Jury Service.

A recent decision of the Tcnnes-
sc, Supreme court is attracting
considerable attention, and the
Nashville American is proud of it.
5h, court held in the decision re-
icrrtd to that not only is the read
ing of newspaper reports no dis
qualification for jury service, but
that the formation of an opinion
from such reading does not dis
qualify, provided the juror feels
hat he can render just verdict.
A Kansas judge the other day fol-
lowed the precedent set by the
Tennessee court and in murder
,ri j made the same ruling.
the American is quite certain
th It the Tennessee court has cstab
lhed valuable precedent, one
which will give better jury SER
sics aud one which will have by
its example wholesome effect 10
other states. Nowadays every
body reads newspapers. The: man
who docs not is urfit to be a Juror,
:. "a cases which arouse an extended
san5ssc interos are not only read
I but discussed. 10 hold that a
mn is not qualified therefore to
be Juror because he has become
acquainted with the main facts in
the case through the ordinary
c,annels of information is to be q
follower Of theories rather than
conditions.
A better jury service is sorely
needed. 1t is rather a circum
stance to be commented upon
when man we'll known in any
walk of lite is called to act on a
fary. He usually has means OF
getting out of it. But the old and
iagorite dodge of having read OF
the case in the newspapers will DO
TO longer.
THIS is the second decision rem
dered IN short time by the
Supreme court of Tennessee which
has caused national comment, and
almost in every instance the com
inent has been commendatory.

tho acts relating to the sale of
cigarettes is that state.-Arkansas

The First Lowry Press in Arkansas.

Mr.. Jerome Hill. Of Memphis, presi-
dent Of the Planters Compress Co.,
Lowry patent, for Tennessee and Ark
ansas, was in the city Saturday, in the
interest of the Lowry press. Mr..
Hills long connection with the cotton
industry of the South enabled him to
explain the merits of the press, and
the cotton raisers and buyers were
quick enough TO see the many advant-
ages which would result in having a
press in Forrest City, and Mr.. Hill re-
turned to Memphis the same evening
with authority to erect press at the
Forrect City Gin Co. s stand, which
will be done within fortnight, giving
our city the credit of having the first
Lowry press in the state.
This machine takes lint cotton from
the ginneries. igins it and congresses it
in cylindrical bale about eighteen
inches in diameter. thirtysix inches
long, with hollow core and Weighing
$50 pounds.
It's capacity is unlimited. for it takes
all the cotton the gin stands can give
it. This machine has so many superior
advantages over the old style bale of
cotton that it may be summed up in
the following points:
First-A great advantage in the
Lowry bale over any other bale is the
matter of storage for steamer or rail-
way transportation.
Second-The Lowry bale reaches the
mill in better condition than any
pressed by the steam congresses.
Third-More than twice as much
cotton is compressed in the Lowry
bale as is compressed in the same space
in the square bale.
Fourth-This new process of balinp
enables the farmer and ginner to be en-
tirely independent of steam congresses
at present in use.
= Fifth-The Lowry bale Will not alb.
sorb water as the present uncom-
pressed bale does; consequently the
weight will hold at the mill and the
farmer will receive his price for every
pound of cotton shipped without re-
auctions.
Sixth--The Lowry bale is tied with
wire about the size of telegraph wires
and these hold it securely against ex.
pansion. The tare on each bale is
only about / per cent, while the ordi'
nary iron tire bale is 6 per cent.
Seyenth-The Lowry bale requires
ten to fifteen horsepower and the
space it occupie s is about 6x10 feet.
Eighth-The Lowry bale press j:
simple in its construction without any
intricate MACH merry to puzzle work.
man. In fact, field-hand on planta
ton can manage it successfully.
Ninth-The Lowry bale is easier
handled than any other bale and with
out the use of hooks.
Tenth-The weight Of the baggine
and ties of $50 pound Lowry bale j;
only about two pounds and half anc
worth q cents
Eieyenth-The t,est of all is the grea
demand for this cotton from the world
spindles. Forty-fye points are beinl
paid in the City of Memphis, and a
the gnneries. alb owe the price of SINH
lar staple and gra ies of cotton in tn
old square bale, OF 50 % advance.
