Its Tortures Known to
+ Thousands.

The aches and pains of Rheuma-
tism become q constant COM
panion to all who are victims of
this disabling disease. The peo-
pie generally are not acquainted
with the cause of the disease,
though thousands know its tor
lures.
Everybody should know that
Rheumatism is a peculiar acid con-
dition of the blood, upon which all
liniments in the world can have
no effect whatever. The best
blood remedy is needed-one which
is able to goto the very seat of the
disease and force it out. Swift's
Specific Is. s. S.) is the right
remedy for Rheumatism, because
it is the only blood remedy free
from mercury, potash and other
minerals which intensity the dis
ease, causing stiffness fthe joints
and aching Of the bones.
S. S. s. neutralizes the acid
condition Of the blood, and forces
out every trace of the disease. It
reaches even the worst cases
where the doctors have made
eripples with their prescriptions
Of potash and mercury.

A special from Forman says: The
creamery business in this section of the
state is tiourishing. The plant at Cakes
is a fair example. During 1898 it re-
ceived 615,OW pounds of milk and paid
the farmers $500 for it after paying
running expenses. In the last four
years the creamery has received 100000
pounds of milk and paid $4,000 to the
farmers for it. The creameries at Ha-
vana and other points can show an
equally good record.

WANT TO TELL

The Trcas,lrer's Report.

In this issue will be found the par
ish treasurer's report of parish funds
for the quarter ending Sept. Goth.
Wecall attention to the fact that the
treasurer charges himself with $3.50,
paid in by E. N. Evans in April, and
with $3.50, paid by C. d. Kemp some
time about two years ago. The first
item should have been reported in
July, and the second should have
been reported two years ago. Acorn
mittee has been at work on the parish
treasurer's books for the past two
weeks, in response to charges made
by the editor of this paper, SO they
say, although they have never yet
asked us for any specifications. We
particularly call their attention to
the two items above mentioned, and
the additional items We specified last
week in the school report, amounting
to 1862, as among the irregularities
to which we have referred. These will
be found to foot up in all $1022, and
fully substantiate our charges of IT.

The Cotton Crop In Grant.
The cotton crop in the hill regions
of Grant parish, which usually con-
stitutes more than half of the cotton
raised in the parish, is now about all
picked, ginned and sold. On Monday
last, Oct. 23d, four hill farmers came
into Colfax with cotton which they
sold, and all of them said it was the
last of their entire crop. These men
represent pretty well the condition OF
the entire hill regions in Grant and
Vim parishes. If it was not for the
lumber business in this section, that
enables both men and boys to leave
home and obtain daily wages at the
mills along the railroads, the people
of that country would likely have to
call for assistance. ODe-third of an
average crop is a bigestimate for the
entire section designated.
In the river bottoms the crops have
done somewhat better, and we will
possible harvest two-thirds OF an av-
erage crop. The warm weather for
the past ten days has brought out
the young cotton wonderfully, or we
would not feel justified in this esti-
mate. By young cotton we mean the
cotton that was planted late in June
after the drouth, which proba bly, con-
stitutes one-half of the entire acreage
of cotton on our river lands. As for
the old cotton, that planted and up
in the early spring, it has made all it
can make, and nearly all of it has
been picked and ginned. And, anoth-
er matter that We specially note, is
that nine-tenths of all the cotton 80
far ginned has been shipped to mar
ket, and none is being held back.
We see a great deal is being said
about the ''top CROP by city specu-
lators. By this they mean the bios
SONS and tiny bolls that have ap.
peared ON the second-growth of the
old cotton during the warm weather
of the last two weeks. Such talk is
both foolish and dishonest. Nobody
who knows anything about making
cotton expects a single boil of this
so-called "crop" to mature. 1t will
take not less than four or five weeks
OF warm weather yet to come for it
to mature sufficiently to open, and
at farthest We may expect frost to
cut it of within the next ten days.
