An Ancient Belief.

The aneients believed that rheu- matism was the work of d demon within man. Any one who has had an attack of sciatic or infam- matory rheumatism will agree that the infliction is demoniae enough to warrant the belief. IL has never been claimed that Chamberlain s Pam Balm would Cast out demons, but it will euse rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement. sOne application relieves the pain, and this quick relief which it affords is alone worth many times it's cost.

 While Mr. sorrells, the state champion, only claims to be an am ateur, and not to belong in the professional class, yet he is shooting in that class, and is ready 10 defend the medal against all corners.
 We understand that both Mr. Pemberton and Mr. Theibault, of Little Rock, have an eye uron the medal, and want to make match with MT. Sorrells. If they want the medal they will get a chance at it by complying with the rules of the Arkansas State Sportsmen's s Association.
 The members of the Pine Bluff Gun Club appreciate the presence of visitors at. their weekly shoots, and especial efforts will be made for the entertainment of the ladies. Re served seats will be prepared for them, and the club members will see that nothing occurs which will be objectionable to the fair visitors.
 The members of this club are rep resentatiye citizens of Pine Bluff aud shoot purely for recreation. Neither the Arkansas Spor tsmen' s Association nor the Pine Bluff Gun Club allow any betting upon the part of the members.
 The match between Messrs. Sor- rells and DeLong on last Saturday. and Messrs. Sorrells and Clement on last Wednesday were state events, aod the reporter was sur- prised to note the small attendance. In any other city in the state the attendance would have been large and many ladies would have been present,
