MARDI-GRAs AT LITTLE ROCK.

The people of Little Rock have alI gotten together Tn an effort to give the citizens of the State the grandcst festival of fun ever at tempted in our midst. They have compressed Mardi-Gras and Wash ington's Birthday into one, and under the auspices of the Board of Trade the various committees, clubs and societies are arranging a magnificent series of entertain ments for February zznd. On that day and night the city will be turned over to King Petraculus, and Mayor Woodson will become q subject instead of d ruler. The King will arrive on his flagship during the morning, and the keys of the city will be delivered to him about noon. There will be both day and night processions, masquerade balls, and all in all d regular carnival of fun. The event Is one of such magnitude and has proven to be so great an attraction that all of the railroads have made | one fare rate for the round trip, lower rate than given to either the Memphis or New Orleans car nival. We have too few holidays, and all who visit Little Rock are sure to have great time, for there is every indication that there will be "A Hot Time in the Old Town.

MR. EDITOR - will give you few dots from this part of God s moral vineyard. We are making preparations out here to plant an- other crop, but if we do not have better seasons, this year, than we have had for the last two, we will not gather any. We, who live here on the edge of IIudgins, have seen nothing but water for the last two weeks. The creek has been all over the bottom all the time, with crop land under water; but We Ike in hopes, as we have done for two years and made nothing
 However, we hope to have better luck this year. think most every body will change their plan of farming for the present year. The idea is to plant more corn and less cotton. Nearly everybody has sowed some oats, and Mr George Owen has small patch of wheat sowed. Let Us all plant plenty of corn; and there is one thing l would urge upon everybody, and that is to make preparations for d dry year, and thin out the corn. Makea calculation how many stalks of corn will grow on one acre, at any specified distance. For in stance, I! feet in the row and 4 feet in the drill will make about ,,4oo hills. which would, if dry year, make q good ear to each stalk. and if q wet year would
 make two ears to the stalk <; which, either way. would be from 20 to 30 bushels per acre: but if the corn was planted with rows the same and two feet in the drill, and Ne N ,'e dry weather. nine

Miss Josie Owen, of Montpelier, Ohio, writes: "I was afflicted from infancy with catarrh, and no one can know the suffering 1t produces better than I. The sprays and washes pre- scribed by the doctors relieved me only temporarily, and though I used them constantly for ten years, the disease had a frmer hold than ever. I tried number of blood remedies, but their mineral ingredients settled in my bones and gave me rheuma- tism.
 1T was in lamentab1e condition, and after exhausting all treatment, was declared incurable. Seeing s. S. S. advertised as a cure for blood dis eases decided to try it. As soon as my system was under the effects of the medicine, began to improve, and after taking it for two months l was cured completely, the dreadful disease was eradicated from my system, and have had no return of it.''

UNITED STATES LAND
 OFFICE,
Little Rock, Arkansas.

The Little Rock District em-
 braces more than half the State
 of Arkansas, including all that
 part east of a line drawn north
 and south through Little Rock,
 and halt the central part west of
 that line.
 Generally speaking, the land
 lying east and south Of q diago- nal line drawn through the dls=
 trict, from the northeast to the southwest corner of the State, Is flat, heavily timbcred and in some places sWamPy. It is q great corn and cotton producing land from which came the cotton taking first prize at the W orld's Fair over all competitors The prairies are in this section, but are nearly all taken up. The land lying north and west of this diagonal line is rolling, and in ereases i'll elevation towards the northwest corner of the State, which is rough and mountain ous This Is a great country for apples, grapes and all kinds of fruits and berries The apples from this section have taken first prize at every great exposition for the past ten years. Many cases are known where the pur- chase price of a farm has been paid out of one years $ crop.
 There is no better country for the homeseeker than Arkansas. The climate is mild and health ful, the winter is short and al- most free from snow, and the productive season Is long, giving the farmer the advantages of an early and late market. The soil is adapted to anything that grows iii this latitude. Two crops ot potatoes and of many other things can be grown every year The cost of living is low, and good labor can be secured ill abundance. Yellow fever and other cpidemics have never reach ed the State, and grasshoppers and similar plaques are un- known.
 Government land can be secur- ed i'll this State only by actual settlement and cultivation. Five years continuous residence and cultivation, and the payment of a small amount for fees and com entities the entryman to his deed or patent without expense. Homestead en- tries can be commuted after four teen months residence, upon pav- ment of the Government price per acre and making final proof. During the time of periecting the entry-that Is, the first fve years no real estate taxes have to be paid Fractional tracts of land, isolated from other Government land, can be pur- at public sale in the land office after advertisement.

 MR. EDITOR

He has full line of groceries. and sells cheap, for cash. All he asks is liberal patronage, and he guarantees sat isfaction.
 By the way, the concert last Tuesday night was, we are inform ed, quite a success. So ended the singing school, conducted by Bro. Chesly Garrison, at Enon.
 We are for Bro. /. T, Wood for Circuit Judge. Don't forget it. We are confident that he can fill any position within the gift of the people.
 We wish to say few words in regard to the water question of Monticello. In the first place, we think the hardest task has been ac- complished You have plenty of water. Now, all you like is to gel small machinery to pump the water up to the Court Square, and then have tank or reservoir in which to keep a sufficient quantity to supply the demands of the town. After this is done, it will only be q small matter to carry water to all parts of the city, at very little expense. We think it very un- wise to abandon this much needed movement now, as the main part that of getting plenty of good pure water, has been acquired. We are indeed proud of our eoun- tv seat. It is one of the incest lit tie cities in South-I1astern Arkan- sas. Water and electric lights is what she needs.
 Nc wish prosperity for the MoNrIcELLoNIAN. We have been led estray by the F. P's., but we are ever ready to assist the ad- vancement of Democracy. The Democratic party k the strongest party on earth; but the branches taken from her has caused dissatis- faction, and, to-day, that is the cause of McKinleyism. We feel confident that the peoples eyes are open, and in 1900 w. ]. Bry- an will be elected president of the United States. Fellow citizens, stick to the Democratic party, and there is no party on earth that can defeat her.
 If the people want the govern ment run on more economical basis, they should be careful in casting their ballots, as this is cleo tion year. PAvo.

There Is cure for Catarrh. Doubt. less there are hundreds of unfortu- mates afflicted with this dreadful, of- fensive disease, who are prepared to promptly challenge this statement and they can hardly be blamed for doing so. It is not surprising that one who has suffered for years with catarrh after having spent hundreds of dollars for various treatments, under dozen different phy sicians and "specialists" finds himself grow ing steadily worse, should become dis couraged, and believe that the disease Is incurab1e.
 Catarrh is blood disease of the most serious and deep-seated nature. Local applications of sprays, washes, etc, can have no effect whatever upon the blood, and no one ever knew of case of catarrh being cured by them. S. S. s. is a real blood remedy, and cures catarrh by going direct to the cause of the trouble and forcing 1t out.
