MADISON TIM ES.

If seems that MT. Chat Is fixture here.
 Farmers are busily engaged in planting.
 The potato crop is quite ptomislng.
 Cooler this Thursday morning.
 The river continues to fall rapidly.
 Madison was well represented in Mem. phs Tuesday and "Wednesday. Quite a number of Madisonans went over to see the Nashville.
 Monday morning Foreman Frank Whit ker left here for Edmondson, with train of 20 ears and large crew of hands 10 load slaves. Owing to some little irregu- larity in the running of trains. considera- ble time was lost during the day. on &C., count of having to be laid on the side track so often, but he managed to get about so ,Ooo loaded. the largest shipment ever made to this point.
 The steamer Rock City arrived from below Tuesday evening, laid here that night and returned Wednesday night with a nice cargo of cotton seed and corn. The Rock City is owned by Capt. J. A. Spen. cer. who informed us that he purchased her at Nashville, Tenn, few days ago. She is a nice boat and good runner and carrier, and we predict that Capt. Spen- cer will do nice business with her in the lower St. Francis.
 The Nashville could not come to Madi- .nn hut her liftIa half eister fhe Pock City, did. See,
 Madison is glad to know that Forrest City and some other of her inland sisters, are turning their attention to manufactur- ing. This is step in the right direction, and Is what the country has long needed. as we can attest from observation. Before Madison got to be manufacturing point. there was scarcely anything doing, and to see a car loaded here for shipment was a rare thing But now if is daily occur rtnce. Madison shipped last year :over 20 cars of manufactured products, to say nothing of what was shipped by river and t,,e large amount hauled away on wagons; and as is always the case agriculture has kept pace with the manufacturing interest and the amount of farm products shipped from here has reached almost gigantic pro- portions. Property has increased in value from 100 to 800 per cent. and the popula. ton has doubled. and yet Madison has only received foretaste of what can be done.

Is to mount them on heavy sheets of linen

Charity and Taste.
For those who have no other way of do
ing good. it should not be. forgotten that
such pictures mounted on cardboard are
welcome to the patients in the children's
ward of the hospitals, or even In the wards
where the adults lie, if they can be hung
up. Many little ones are too weak TO hold

newspapers are treasure troye for this
purpose. The funny picture, with the
words beneath, will conjure up many a
smile, and thus serve the humane purpose
OF divertfng the suffering little ones.

present one-is in for the not too easy task
Of finding the best way TO meet it.
The chancellor has only recently recov-
cred from a serious illness that was both
ering him just about the time when the
necessity Of spending fifty millions in kill
ing people made its appearance, and the
questions which are fired at him several
dozen times a day are alone enough to
drive a nervous man distracted, but Sir Mi
chael Hicks-Beach is not, If treasury peo-
pie are to be believed, at all ruffled by his
sense Of sponsibility-coolness always has
been one of his characteristics-but goes on
from day to day signing for transports and
reinforcements and ammunition and mules

England started a new war every day in
the week. AS for the other treasury en-
ployes, as las been said that portion of
them detailed to keep tab on the war office
in its wild career of expenditure are rather
pressed for time, but otherwise business
goes along in the treasury just about as
usual, which means in a thoroughly digni-
hed manner, unmarried by improper haste.

What, then, has been the cost of the
present war UP to date?'
Nobody knows. No one will know,
either, until the spring of 19ol-that is, ac-
curately, Not until that time will it be
possible to gather together the disburse-
ments Of each of the multitude of different
departments. Now you might be able to
guess "a the amount of each one or those,
but the sum total is matter for the fu-
ture alone"

is paying for this war-just the Mar

Art Treasures in These Days Come

Very few persons turning over the ar
tistically illustrated magazines know Just
how lucky they are 1t seems that the art
of perfected illustrating has brought the
art treasures Of the rich to the doors of
even the poorest laborer in the land. The
art galleries of the old and new worlds are
rumnaged for contributions to periodical
art and the reproductions in the magazines
are often as handsome as the finest photo
graphs sold in the public galleries The
photographs each cost from 30 cents to
couple of dollars. sometimes more; it all
depends upon the size Of the picture.
No matter how little money one may
have, with lttle akill, little patience
and an expenditure Of a few cents he or
