The Scholarship Contest.

The first scholarship contest giv- en by the Green Forest High School was held at the school building, Friday evening.
 As is always true on such occa- 'sions in Green Forest, the seating capacity, or rather the staniing capacity, of the house was not nearly equal to the demand.
 Prot. Burney had offered two scholarships in tbe bigh school tor the next school year, one to be given to the best declaimer among the girls and the other to tho win her among the boys,
 Sixteen girls and five boys par ticipated n,the contest, and it was nearly midnight before all had spoken and the victols had been announced. Notwithstanding the untavorable situation, good order was maintained.
 W. R. Phillips, Rev. Armstrong and a Mr. Parks, visitor from Iowa, st as judges and alter due diliberation the prizes Were awarded to Miss Ruth Calien and Oscar Miller.
 Following is the grade of each contestant: Ruth Calleu 952 CIifie Ramsey 95, LilIie Stroud 87, Ruth Grim S8, Virgie Blasingame 86, Oscar Miller 92, Lucinda Bart lett 90, Amy Ramsey 87, Annie Graham 86, Perry Cox 80, Mary Furgason 90, Matte Phillips 93, Bell Morris 85, Burr Murchison 88, Annie Porter 9l, Della Car mack 90, Fitch Ramsey S7, Ida Bradley 83, Ella Murehisoa S5, Ivy Tanning 86, Mack Bradley SD,

Smith and Jess was called back there by telegram from Hot Springs on the second day of the Press Asso- citation, and he, also, was taken sick before the return trip was made. On this account we are not prepared to furnish our read CTS with an elaborate write up ot the trip, a fact which We very much regret, tor an extensive mo- tice of the world famed Hot Springs could not fail to interest and perhaps be beneficial to any one who has not been there. The contemplating railroads of the state extended the usual courtesies to the members of the press, which enabled them Co get eat and enjoy week 's recreation and learn more of our wonderful state and her people, and thus be better prepared to discuss questions affecting our common interests In going from here to Hot Springs, we passed over the Eureka Springs Railway 20 miles, the St. l.. < $. r. from SeIigman to Van Buren 97 miles, the St. L. l, Nj. < s, from Van Ba ren to Malvern, 209 miles, via Lit tie Rock. From Malvern the Hot Springs road carried us into the aValIey of Eapors,o a distance of 22 miles.

Priceless Pain
ESIgG1k4Hss

IF a price can be placed on pain, Mothers
Friend is worth its weight in gold as a1levi-
ator. NY wife suffered more in ten minutes with
either of her other two children than she did al
together with her last, having previously used
to any one expecting to become mother" says
q customer.
Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
of Carmi, ILL.,, to the Bradfeld Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ca, the proprie-
tors and manufacturers of "Mother'a
Friend" This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines adj
vertised to do unreasonable things, but .
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman's organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier 1t
is begun, and the longer used, the moro
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
It not only shortens labor and lessons
the pain attending it, but greatly dimin.
ishes the danger to life Of both mouHk
and child, and leaves the mother in con-
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.

More Beers Advancing.

Other advices from Cape Town show
that the Beers are gathering in consid-
cradle force at Dewdrop, southwest Of
Ladysmith, while large forces are ad-
vancing over the Helpmakaar road. A
big camp of Beers is to be formed be-
tween Harrismith bridge and Potgieter
farm camp, at Dewdrop, which, it is
said, will extend four miles.
An Englishman who has arrived at
Aliwal North, from Pretoria, whence
he was expelled by way of Bloemfon-
tein, says that when he left Pretoria
all the stores were carrying on business
as usual. President Kruger was still
there and he did not see any wounded
at johannesburg.
The Englishmen added that the Beers
are absolutely confident of their ulti-
mate triumph, and believe the whole of
Natal is already practically in their
hands.

FROM BOER SOURCES.

Report of q Battle at Mafeking in Which
the British Were Repulsed.
LORENZO MARQUEE, Delagoa Bay,
Nov. Ia dispatch received here
from Pretoria under date of Oct. 2S
says: General Cronje, the Boer COM
mander, announced there that the Brit
ish garrison at Mafeking made bay
onet attack on Commander Loewe's
lager near Grandstand, but were re-
pulsed, leaving six dead on the field and
it is believed that many of the attack
ing party were wounded.
The dispatch announces that on Sat-
urday night Colonel Baden-Powell
asked for an armistice in order to bury
the dead. General Cronje consented to
this, the Beers assisting in placing the
dead in the wagon going to Mafeking.

was made to conceal the feeling of dis
may prevailing. One official said to
the representative of the Associated
Press:
ut is inexplicable, and I am sorry to
say its moral effect is inestimable. We
have lost heavily In many wars and have
had regiments almost wiped out, but to
have regiments captured and by the
Beers, it is terrible"
The disaster had arimmediate effect
on the Stock Exchange here, where
consols fell %. South African seoul
ties dropped heavily, Rand lines falling

Have Need of Fortitde.
The afternoon newspapers made only
brief editorial comments on the news
from Ladysmith. but their headlines
voiced the feeling of general sorrow.
The tone of the editorials can be
summed up in the following statement
Of The st. James Gazette:
"It is evident that the patriotism and
fortitude of the nation are to be tested
in real earnest by these operations OF
ours in Natal against great odds. Gen.
eral White had difficult task set him,
and we must take the disaster with the
logged GOODNESS which Britons know
how to display. We shall await the
final result without apprehension"
Butler at Cape Town.
While announcement of the arrival
of General Butler at Cape Town was
received by the British with unfeigned
satisfaction, it is pointed out the gen.
eral cannot end the war without an
army corps, and some of the troops
which are to compose it have not even
left England for South Africa.
Dispatches from Cape Town show
that General Buffers reception there
was most enthusiastic. He was well
coined by General Sir Frederick Fors-
tier-W Walker, after which they both en-
tered carriage and drove to Govern
ment House, escorted by mounted po-
lice and mounted volunteers. They
were wildly cheered by the throngs of
people lining the route. There were
cries of "avenge Majuba," and wild
cheers for the general. General Buffers
face was impressive as he returned mill
tary salutes for the cheers.

the plan would be necessary, but they
are determined to have everything in
readiness, either for a demonstration
in Europe of Great Britain's capacity or
for sending even a greater force to the
scene of activity. Before news of the
Ladysmith disaster, the latter course
was considered out Of the question.
But now there is no knowing what
steps will be decided upon.
