neglecting to keep the blood pure but it is re-
gained by purifying, enriching and vits'izing the

 Coin Back ards.

Yesterday afternoon the writer was at the Cotton Belt depot wher the southbound passenger train ar- rived. A tall, red-headed individual with a nose that resembled i'll shape a pruning hook, rushed out of the train and on to the platform. He carried under one arm a bundle that might have been anything from a camping outfit to young baby's wardrobe, on one shoulder was a canthook with various articles at- tached to it, and in one hand was what looked like a pair of dilapidat- ed shoes loosely wrapped in a news paper. Rushing up to the farther end Of the platform he ran into an other individual pretty much of his own stripe, and grasping this mans hand he exclaimed in voice that sounded like a fog horn, Hello, Frank! What yer doin'?"
 LAW" replied the second man, "nothin' much, but gallcotin roun'. :"
 Wall, l tell yer, Frank, that's er- bout all man kin do. Ther worlds all wrong-it's ergoin' back ards every day"
 With this the long individual with the bundles strode from the platform and down the street at pace calcu- lated to make one think he was making a run for fire, while num- Der of bystanders turned and follow ed him with en amuted look.

1T CAN'T BE DONE.
No One Can Remain Well, No Chronic Disease Can Be Cured Unless the Stomach IS First Mads Strong
 and Vigorous.

This is plain because every organ in the body depends on the stomach for it's nourishment. Nerve, bone, sinew, blood are made from the food which ike stomach converts to our use.
 How useless to treat disease with this, that and the other remedy and neglect the most important of all, the stomach.
 The earliest symptoms of inGiges- tion are sour risings, bad taste i'll the mouth, gas in stomach and bowels. palpitation, all-gone feeling, faintness. headaches, constipation; later comes loss of flesh, consumption, liver and heart troubles, kidney diseases, nervous prostration, all of which are the indirect result of poor nutrition.
 Any person suffering from indiges- tion should make it practice to take after each meal one ot Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets, allowing it to dissolve in the mouth and thus mingle with the saliva and enter the stomach in the most natural way. These Tablets are highly recommended by Dr. Jenni- son because they are composed of the natural digestive acids and fruit es- sences which assist the stom ach in di- gesting al! wholesome food before it has time to ferment and sour.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by druggists, full sized packages at 50 cents. They are also excellent for in- Aalids and children. 4 book on stom- ach diseases and thousands of testi- monials of genuine cures sent free by addressing F. A. Stuart Co.,, Marshall, Mich,

Talks With the Commercial League ---Arkansas Now the COm-
 ing Country.

About 2 o'clock this afternoon in our peregrinations over the city, we wandered into the office of the Com mercial League. Here we encoan- tered one MT M.

Rns- sell, who in turn introduced LIS to Mir. Leak. MT. Leake is an advertiser, and IS in the city in he interest of Arkansas. During the last seven years he has been en- gagged in advertising Santa Clara County, California. A short lime sinte be met with parties from this State, and ia conversation with them he leErned that Arkansas was the coming country, she needing only to be advertised to the world; and consequently 8 great opening for his business here presented itself. He immediately came to Ina State, visited the Commercial Leagues and Boards of Trades of Ft. Smith, Hot Springs, Little Rock, and is now here in Pine Bluff talking business to the ComT ercial League and Board of Trade here.
 Mr. Leak says in bis advertising business be has two cars, costing $3O, ,OOO, which be uses. The deal which he proposes to make with the State of Arkansas calls for the sum of $10, 900 only.
 This sum, of course, is to be rais- ed by the commercial organizations and citizens generally of the State. The cars above referred to will be used in porting products of the State and exhibiting the same throughout the United States, and other countries, If so desired.
 Mr. Leak seys be has made a great success in advertising Calnor- nia, and that he believes he can do the same with Arkansas, as he con- siders the adyan tages offered by this State, though d.fferert in many respects, equal to those O her sis ter on the slope of the pacific.
 Mr. Leak will be in the city this afternoon and tomorrow, and long, CT if necess say.
