Round Robin.

There was kind of Round Rob
bin affair gotten up in the Office of
]. ]. Merrill, superintendent of
transportation of the Pee Gee road
here, last week, which found its Sc
quel on Saturday by the Robbins
getting the worst of it.
Street talk says that the clerks
in Mr.. Merrill.s Office became dissat-
lsfed with HIM and they put their
heads together'to "do him" as the
expression goes, but instead of do
ing they were done,
It seems that Mr.. Merrill got on
to the affair and got his hammer
out and hammered right and ham
mered left and when he got done
hammering, only two clerks were
left out of a dozen and they were
Messrs. Tom Kress and Isido Kos
minsky. Another tale on the
street is that clerks went out on
a strike and they are stiIlstrikiug
for another Job.
We made several efforts to get at
the bottom of the trouble, but the
above is all we could learn.

Horrors of Philippine War.

In the war begun a few days since
between the Beers of the South AT
rican Republic or Trausvaal, and
great Britain, but one result is pos
sible-Boers will be quickly subdned.
1t is worse than Spain going to war
against the United States. The
Transvaal is a very small country,
contains only 119,2OO square miles
of territory, with population OF
100000. Arkansas could better af-
ford to declare war against Great

THE FIRST BABY.
It's Coming is Looked Forward to
With Both Joy and Fear and it's
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by ALI.

The arrival Of the first baby in the
household is the happicst and most inn
portant event Of married life. The young
wife who is to become mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear It lisp
the sweet and holy name, "mother."
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. An indescribnble fear OF the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.
Thousands OF women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the suiferings which Mt
tend childbirth they know that by
the use OF "Mother's Friend"--a scien-
tillc liniment--ior few weeks before
the trying hour, expectart mothers can

hour that the pain and suffering OF the
dreaded event are entirely obviated and
IL is safely passed through with COM
paratively little discomfort.
All women are interested, and es'
pecially expectant mothers who for the
first time have to undergo this trial, IN
such remedy for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing of the dan
ger, which is in store for them. "Moth-
er's Friend" is woman . greatest .blcs'

OFF FOR SCOTLAND.

Rev. Kidd Thompson, well known
here as a clever gentleman and a
conscientious minister of the Pres
byteriau faith, who supplied the
pulpit here in the absence OF his
brother, who was the pastor here,
and who,was called to Calvert, Tex,
to,fiIl the pulpit there, was recently
married to Miss Innie Foster, and
after the ceremony, sailed for Ed
ingburg, Scotland, where Mr..
Thompson will spend ayear in study
at the Edingburg University. We
have before us a clipping from re-
ligious journal, giving detailed ac-
count of the wedding and what fol-
lowed before Mr.. Thompson bid
farewell to his flock and the people
of Calvert, where he has endeared
himself to them.
His farewell sermon was preached
to the largest congregation ever as
sembled in the little city, and the
pulpit was occupied by the minis
ters of the Baptist, Methodist and
Episcopal churches during the serv-
ices. Mr.. Thompson preached an
excellent sermon. The Episcopal
minister delivered a prayer and the
other ministers bore testimony to
the worth and promise of Rev.
Thompson.
1t does us good to hear of our
friend, Rev. Thompson having en-
deared himself to the people he fell
amongst after leaving here. May
his trip be beneficial to him in more
ways than one is our wish.

There is no royal road to success
there can be none. Each man is an
individual problem, and he must
work it out himself. He must first
know himself-in other words find
himself; then he will quickly dis

is best adapted to his abilities. De-

he has once made choice of profes-
sion, trade or business, will soon de
yelop the best that is in him.-La-
