A Village Blacksmith Saved His
Little Sons Life.

Mr.. H. H. Black, the well-known viii
lage blacksmith at Grahamsville, Sui
iivan Co., N. Y, says: "Our little son,
five years old, has always been subject
to Group, and so bad have the attacks
been that we have feared many times
that he would die. We have had the
doctor and used many medicines, but
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is now
our soul reliance. 1t seems to dis
solve the tough mucous and by giving
frequent doses when the croupy sym
toms appear we have found that the
dreaded Group is cured before it gets
settled" There is no danger in giving
the remedy for it contains no opium
or other injurious drug and may be
given as confidently to babe as to an
adult. For sale by Clifton & Ray

Commenting upon the decision OF
several large business houses in
Chicago not to employ any one who
smokes cigarettes, the Milwaukee
Sentinel says: "This is the most
effective form of warfare upon Gig
arettes. A community which would
regard an anti-cigarettte law as a
restriction upon personal liberty is
willing to admit that business
house has right to choose the
most efficient employees it can get,
and to discourage in every way
practices which it thinks injurious.
Many a young man who would rebel
against law which interfered
with his habits will tolerate inter
ference from his employer. He
will do this the more readily when
convinced that his employer is not
trying to reform him, but is only
trying to make him more efficient,
to keep him bright and energetic,

The city editor was given chance
to inspect the street work being
done on the West Side yesterday,
behind Mayor Estes fast trotter,
and was much pleased to find quite
a force of men at work under Street
Commissioner Pagan. The streets
being worked on are being crowned
up and the work is being made as
substantial as can be without rock
or gravel The Mayor is having
the city prisoners put to work
and the bills against the city for
this work will be very small.
Mayor Estes is doing all IN his power
to keep down expenses, yet he
realizes that the citys streets are
almost in condition bordering on
to the impossible, and that he
must act in stopping washes and
filing up bad holes, and mending
broken bridges. We believe he will
win out during his administration.

Window Decorations.

Retail grocery dealers find 1t a
hard matter to get up decorated
show window and many of them on
this account do not try the expert
ment, but Merriwether h Taylor are
exceptions to this class aud they
keep one of their show windows ar
ranged with canned and other goods
in pleasing order They set
off the window with appropriate
pictures, of an epicurean character.
For instance we noticed a painted
string of speckeled beauties, an
oyster on the half shell, a brace of
partridge, a basket of fruit, pictures
of women with pouting lips under
which we notice the inscription
"Kis-Me." Passing into the store,
you find well selected stock Of
edibles both domestic and foreign.
This firm not only caters to human
appetite, but it keeps provender
for the horse, the OK and the ass,
and also for the barn yard fowls.
You can get anything from this firm
that you can get anywhere else in
the city and they are not grasping
in their prices either. We place
them down in business way at the
top of up-to'date grocery mer-
chants and do not belieye their is
man in the city who will try to pull
the firm from the pedestral on which
we have placed it.

A COUPLE OF FIRES.

Friday evening the dry kiln of the
Little Rock Cooperage Company
was burned entailing a considerable
loss in the burning of m ny
oak slaves. The two fire com.
panies went over and did good work
and stopped the flames. We learn
that good pressure was had, the
gauge showing at the power house
100 pound pressure, This occasioned
the bursting of many pipes and the
forcing of many joints of piping in
the city which created leakage.
At night at $3.50 o'clock another
FIRE broke out, in a section of the
city where many negroes lived. The
houses were adjoining a colored
church (African Methodist and be-
fore the flames we're conquered
some three houses and the church,
were consumed. The water pressure
was not as good as it was in the af-
ternoon, the primary cause, we
learn from Mr.. Munson, was that
section was served with only 4-inch
pipes and that the many leaks in the
city caused in the afternoon and
also at night, was the reason the
flow was not stronger. Mr.. Munsor
said he was at the power house him
self that night and that the register
of pressure, which is on record viii
show that the pressure never fell be
low So and was frequently higher
in fact, he added many pipes were
bursted some in the residences and
had to send my men to stop leak
and shut off the water in places
Mr.. Munson said he thought the, BAT
service was on account of the smaI
pipes. He said he could throw
stream of water over the highes
house ON Broad street with a 6
pound pressure.
The losses to the colored popula
tion in the burning of their home
and church will fall heavy on them
