The Commercial Club.
The idea of the Com mercial Club i

The idea OF the Com mercial Club is
growing and gaining ground every day.
Wednesday afternoon there were some
thirty or,more of our citizens present
at the Evans. The articles of Incorpo-
ration and the Bylaws were gone over
and adopted and Col. Keller instructed
to perfect the organization by having
the articles sent over to the Secretary
of State for recording in his Office. A
number of members were secured and
the outlook for the Club isquite flatter-
ing. Conside rable work has already
been done in the way of spending
money to pay expences of the committee
by the G. A. r. to see to the adoption
of bill locating a National Soldiers
Home and Sanitarium here and there
is more in prospect. 1t is hoped every
business and professional man in Hot
Springs as we'll as all other enterpris-
ing citizens will join the club and thus
help matters along. The membership
fee is sl0-so payable when joining and
the balance 80 cents per month. Quite
number, however. have paid the
entire fee.

Lack of Exercise.

Is one of the prime causes of headache
in the winter. Persons accustomed to
the pure fresh air during the pleasant
months are subject to this terrible an
noyance at this time of the year. A
boon is offered in Krause's Headache
Capsules they are guaranteed to cure
any kind of headache no matter what
the cause. Headache caused by over
indulgence in food or drink late at
night, can be prevented by taking one
capsule before retiring and one in the
morning. Price % cents. Sold by
Emil Hargins.

the great Demosthenes, he said 81 pity
some peoples stomachs then.'
| The bell is rung now three minutes
before the recitation period is COM
pleted and second bell rings at the
completion of the period, which makes
much better arrangement in going to

think they are very cheering words
don't you?" The writer's narrow escape
from shipwreck when crossing from
England last October made him in
sympathy with the text on the almanack
himself.
Mighty to save! DER the ocean wave,
When rocked on the billowy deep;
'1s the arm of God alone can save
And safely keep.
Mighty to save! Mid the cannon's roar
Or the deatn- dealing awful guns,
Oh, save from the cunning, crafty Boer
England's sons!
Mighty to save! though the foe is bold.
And the bravest general fails.
oh. give of old Thy might untold
That yet avails.
Mighty to save! God save Britains queen
And answer her prayer, dry her tcars
In Thee her faith, hope, trust, hus been
So many years.
Mighty to save! Although we have sinned
Have wandered away from our God;
Let us beware! we deserve our share
OF His just rod.
Mighty to save and to heed o Lord,
The nation that turns from its sins,
And heeds Thy word. o grant that the swort
OF England wins!

The Planters Dependence on Good Seed.
With out good, fresh, fertile seeds,
good crops are impossible. 1t is, then.
of most vital Importance that you
should exercise the greatest possible
caution in selecting the seeds that you
are to plant the comming season. Since
you cannot determine their fertility or
freshness by sight, the only certain
way to insure your self against worth
less seeds is to buy only those that
bear the name of a firm about whose
reliability there is no question, There
are no better known seeds man any
where and none who have a higher re-
putation of integrity, than ID. NJ. Ferry

An Interesting Relic.

We were shown recently by Mrs.
F. T. Evans a very interesting relic
in the shape of an ancient newspap-
er. 1t was copy of The Ulster County
Gazette, published at Kingston, New
York, and bore the date of January 4,
1800-a century old last Thursday. 1t
was dressed in mourning on account
of the then recent death of George
Washington. Itcontained the proceed
ed of Congress relative to Washington's
death and address or message by the
President, John Adams. Bearing date
of January 4, it had news from England
as late as Oct. 18th. In this hustling
age of electricity and steam, news ten
weeks old would be considered rather
stale. In its general make up it is not
very much different to many newspap-
ers of the present day. Its advertising
patronage was not very large, but it
contained one advertisement which
would sound very strange now. The ad-
vertisement was as follows: "For Sale:
The one half of saw mill with conven-
lent place for building, lying in the
town of Rochester. By the mill there
is an inexhaustible quantity of Pine
wood. And also stout, healthy, active
negro wench. Any person inclined to
purchase may know particulars by
applying to Jno. Schoonmaker, Jun.,
at Rochester" The selling of negro
wenches in New York state would
hardly be allowed in this latter day,
but such was life in those earlier times
a hundred years ago.
Mrs. Evans also showed us an altman.
ack nearly as old as the newspaper. 1t
contained many quaint curious items
of information, among others the rates
of postage in force in those days:
Rate of postage for every single letter
by land-40 miles 8 cts: 80 miles 1Octs;
$50 miles 1215cts; 300 miles .17cts; SOC
miles 20cts over 5OOmiles 25cts. Every
packet weighing one ounce, at the rate
of four single letters for each ounce.
We were much interested in the
ancient specimens and enjoyed looking g
over their columns.
