Continuous rains since July 18th has revived the superstition, If it rains on St. Swithun's s Day, it will rain forty days and nights, and it looks very much like the prophecy will be fulfilled ill this instance. This is very old superstition and is supposed to have had it's origin from the following circumstances: Saint Swithun or Swithin was an English eclesiastic of the eth cen tury, who was noted for his piety and charity. He was for years bishop of Winchester, then a mod est little church. He was buried by his request ill this church yard. A century later he was canonized, the church rebuilt and his humble place of sepulture considered un- worthy for such a saint i'll whose name so many wonderful miracles had been, performed and arrange ments made to place them ill the new church with solemn and mag nificent ceremonies on July I5. But the ceremonies were delayed on account of rains that continued forty days and nights, hence the superstition. The thoughtful read CT will remember, however, that July IS is very near the summer solstice-aud that if rain falls at or near any solstice, it is likely to continue for sometime.

RETRIBUTION CAME SOON.
Posse Furnishes the Murderer of
 Sheriff Garrett.

Bentonville, July IS.-Swift and terrible retribution was meted out to George Fisher, the desperado who shot and killed Sheriff Garrett at Southwest City, July I6. Fisher was located in a corn field near that place yesterday and was at once surrounded by the posse. Fisher had a pistol and showed fight, although his hands were still hand-cuffed together, but he was not given chance to take an- other life, being quickly riddled with bullets, killing him instantly.
 It is now thought by some that Fisher father is the murderer of Garrett, as it is claimed he was shot in the back. The father is under arrest.

Pearl Hunting.

Pearl fishing Is assuming greater activity ill White river this season than ever before, and some very fine ones have been found It is a fact generally known to pearl buy CTS that the specimens found i'll White river are of finer luster and will sell for more than those from more stagnant and less pure waters. This is offset by the fact however that the pearl bearing muscles are not so plentiful i'll the White as in some other streams of the state.
 MT. l. l.. Evans made a several days trip up the river recently and secured some very pretty pearls, nearly all of them being small. He contemplates going into busi- ness more extensively soon.
 Mir. Joe Hanford has employed a number of hands and has the shells brought to the cedar yard where he opens them, secures the pearls when there are any and preserves the shells for shipment to button factory. It is estimated that the shells will bring more than enough to pay the expense of gathering them and the pearls found will be clear profit.
 One of the finest pearls seen here in some time was one found by Smith Brown, colored; at the mouth of Wolf Bayou, last We'd nesday. It weighs IS grains and is beauty. Brown was offered SIro for it by local buyer Bates vile Bee

TO ABOLISH THE SERVICE.
Telegraph Companies Will Aban- don Board of Trade
 Quotations.
under arrest

Chicago, July IS.-Both the Postal and Western Union Tele- graph Companies have decided to abandon their board of trade quo tations after July 3I. The decis- ion to abolish the service is the re- suit of failure to arrive at an agreement with the board of di- rectors regarding the terms which the telegraph companies considered unjust, and as to the restrictions the board of trade desired the tele- graph companies to accept Ill their service of quotations outside of Chicago, in spite of sundry decis- ions of the courts.
 The telegraph companies say the quotations service is the life of the board of trade, and predict much trouble if it is discontinued. The directors of the board say, however that the companies action provides solution of the bucket shop problem.

QUESTION ANSWERED D

Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine i'll ths civilized world. Your motherf and grandmothers never thought oe using anything else for Indigestion or Billiousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of Appen- dicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart Failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the ac- ton of the liver, stimulate the ner- vous and organic action of the sys- tenn, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with head ache and other aches.

M'CULLOCH WINS.
Marianna Man Nominated at Wynne on the 3,o34th
 Ballot.

Wynne, July Io.-The agony is over. On the 3,o34th ballot today Congressman P. D. McCulloch was renominated, thus ending one of the most proracted and exciting contests i'll the history of Arkansas. The result was brought about by the followers of Judge Felix G.. Taylor. Mississippi county, with seven votes, which had been cast almost without break from the start for Judge Taylor, was the first to start the breakup. Hon. John B. Driver announced that Missis- sippi county desired to change from Taylor to McCulloch. He was followed by Hon. Nathan Lamb, of Craighead county, who i'll neat and appropriate speech, cast the ten votes of Craighead county for McCulloch, changing from Taylor. Then came Jackson county, whose eight votes were changed from Sloan to McCulloch. This gave MeCulloch forty-nine votes, or two less than the number required to nominate. Sharp county's five votes were changed from Sloan to McCulloch and the latter was nominated.

 Take Warning.

If man needs sleep, let him stay at home and go to bed, says an exchange. A man named Henry Tidd went to church i'll Trenton, N. J., few nights since and fell into a doze. While he was asleep he dreamed it was time to go to bed so he stood up in the pew and carefully removed his coat and vest. Two ladies who were sitting in the pew with him moved to the far corner and en- deavored to concentrate their minds on the sermon Henry took off his cravat and unbuttoned his collar. The ladies now found 1t rather diff ficult to follow the ministers line of argument and felt an almost ir- resistable desire to jump over the pew railing. Other members oi the congregation. were speculating as to what MT. Tidd would do next and they didn't have to wait long. Henry began thoughtfully to pull his shirt over his head, and this accomplished he took off his trous- CTS and began to grope for his night shirt, when several ladies shrieked, and he woke up to find himself famous. He was finally led away to the vestry where he soon became clothed and in his right mind.

HOLINESS SCHOOL.
Mrs. F. E. Suddarth Writes of
 the Institution at Vilonia.

MR. EDITOR
 After an absence of several years, I am permitted the pleasure of an old time greeting from MT. and Mrs. James Smith, at present citi- zens of Conway, but formerly of Hammonsville, Ark, where the children of Brother and Sister Smith were pupils of Mrs. Suddarth for three full terms with the eX- ception of Master Fletcher Smith, who was at that time a fair browed, almost flaXen haired babe, and has since become quiet, decorous lad, with manly air and mien. It is gratifying to see but little change i'll the appearance oi our former friends and we rejoice that the VOW of their promise still abides ill God as hand i'll hand they journey to- ward the sunset of the life, where i'll christian hope and faith they watch and wait for the dawning of the eternal day. May their Chil- dren now living follow on and after Ia while greet their parents and sainted brother i'll that better land where the iurrowed cheek IS smoothed the weeping eye is dried and the broken heart is made whole again.
 Vacation to the teacher is de- lightful, especially is this true dur ing the heated term, when steping down and out for the 'nonce" from the restraints of self poise the teacher may unbend from the usual routine of class work, busy work, mental drill and delsarte drill and becoming her own mis- tress she may act as she chooses for the time being. This last re mark may perplex the mind ot some restless urchin who has thought the teacher possessed of unlicensed liberty, and yet it is strictly true, that the faithful, eff fective teacher must be the most studious of students and the most obedient of servants to every study and duty require of those within her care.
 Just here allow me to report the successful term of the Holiness Literary School at Vilonia which closed on the evening of the 10th, of May. The entertainment, which consisted of first-class recitals, del sarte drills, with song drills and posings of truly artistic merit was witnessed by a large crowd of quite eight hundred persons. The class in elocution presented va rious styles of Reclamation and de livery which was we'll done and greatly appreciated by the large audience who remained i'll respect full attention for a period of more than four hours duration. The Board of Trustees unanimously elected Mrs. Suddarth to continue the school during the ensuing fall, winter and spring, beginning the last Monday in September. Tui- tion for all children whose parents reside near enough to the school at Vilonia, will be free of all charge during the time that the public school is taught in Vilonia, pro vided that each patron will pay five dollars for the rest of the ten months term, and are willing to send other pupils, as day pupils the remainder of the term.
