Rocking the Cradle.

J. Delaughter, Sparkman, Ark,
says: For the past fifteen years l
have consulted physicians and used
patent medicines, but Ramon's
Liver Pills and Tonic Pellets ex-
celled them all. l could get no
relief for constipation, and after using
one box was as sound as a dollar.
After telling number OF my good
friends, they tried the medicine
and were cured, and now we are all
rocking the cradle Of life away in
perfect health and enjoyment. My
advice to all, is never let your
house be clear of Ramon's Pills.

Jeff Davis has started out we'll. He has carried every county that has so far held its primaries. He may carry other counties. He has spent more money than all the other candidates combined. This should spur the friends of the other candidates to renewed and more energetic efforts to defeat him in coming primaries. The fact that he has started out so au- spiciously signifies nothing. But if tho best citizens of this State sit still and take no interest in his de- feat, Jeff Davis will be governor of Arkansas. It will be sad day for Arkansas when such blatant, vulgar. demagogue occupies the chair of the Chief Executive.

4 Great Scheme.

A scheme to heat town by steam seems impracticable and un- reasonable. But one should not be surprised in these days if the man in the moon was made to come to earth and take a wife. Things are happening. and others will hap pen before the close of the century of which not ono living today now dreams. The State Gazette, of Dyersburg, Tennessee, says:
 Among the new enterprises to be inaugurated by Dyersburg in the near future, is the heating Of our entire town by steam by the Dyersburg Water X Light Go. Hot water is to be conducted through mains to residences, busi- ness houses public and buildings by latest and most approved methods. We beheve this will be done before the close of 1900. Then heat, pow. CT and light will be-furnished to our citizens from one central point. which will materially reduce the cost of living in Dyersburg. This is the great scheme which Mr. Shepard now has under serious con sideration, and whenever Frank Shepard undertakes anything. he generally succeeds. While several places in the East and at least one m the West are so heated, we be. lieve Dyersburg will be the first town In the South to inaugurate such grand system"
 Mr. Shepard IS the president of the St. Francis Electric Light Company of th's city. He could put in a steam heating plant here at moderate cost, having already engines, boilers, buildings, etc. We believe if the rates were reason able the town would patronize it liberally. THE TIMES invites Mr. Shepard to visit our city and look over the situation.

HON. CLAY SLOAN.
Some of His Views on Public Cues
 tionS.

The Hon. Clay Sloan, of Little Rock, present Auditor of State and democratic candidate for con. grcssman of this, the First Con- gressional District of Arkansas, made stirring address to a mass meeting of democrats at the court house in this city Tuesday night. He impressed his hearers as being a man of action, and his remarks covered all the most important po- litcal questions now engaging the minds of the people. His speech was full ot sound Democratic doc. Urine and convincing logic. He summed up the evils and fallacies of the present administration and presented them in forceful and convicting manner, denouncing in strongest terms its policy of greed, !, oppression and unjust taxation.
 Upon the question of expansion Mr. Sloan stands squarely with democratic principles and precepts. After giving statistics showing the amount of revenues taken from the Philippines by Spain during the most prosperous years of those islands, ho took up the proposition held out by the Republican party that 1t will pay to acquire this ter ritory and disposed of it in mas. terly way, presenting the negative side of the question so forcibly that few, if any, who heard him retain any favorable view of the republican idea of expansion.
 The speaker voiced our scnti- ments in speaking of the demoral- izing and impoverishing influences off q large standing army which the retention of the Philippines would make necessary. He said !: !" A great standing army i. an expensive luxury. They pro- duce nothing and what they con- sume is paid for by the worke CTS in the fields and shops. Trey manu- facture nothing, save.an occasional l" hero.
 The financial question came in for it's share of attention, and the speaker strongly denounced the policy of republicans in giving the control of our currency into the hands of National Bank kors, and fastening upon tho people ofthe

The c.rd does Col. John G. Fletcher a great injustice, as it states that no candidate except Davis has contri- buled 10 the fund. Col. Fletcher subscribed $500 to this fund and the same amount to the Confede- a.e Home. He has served on the board of Directors of the Home without pay for the last seven or eight years.

The tendency of late legislatures 10 extend the session beyond the sixty days limit, says, the Arkansas Democrat, is to be deprecated. IL IS an evil that has grown from small beginnings, an abuse that grows by what it feeds on. For some years after the adoption of the constitu- tion of 1874 no legislature ventured to extend the session. But finally there was an extension often days, then one of twelve, then twenty, thirty, and finally forty days. It is not contended seriously that all the legislation necessary cannot be enacted within sixty days, but the plain, blunt truth of it is that an extension appeals so strongly to the man whose per diem is in ex. cess of what they can make at home, that they cannot resist the temptation to vote for it. It is an abuse which ought to come to an end, and the way 10 end 1t is to send no man to the legislature who will not pu. himself on record against it.

Certain citizens arc interesting themselves in the matter of clean. Ing up aud repairing the improve ments at Stuart Springs. This is certainly commendable and should receive tho hearty and peeuniary assistance of the citizens of this town. Stuart Springs is naturally one of the pretticst spots on earth and an ideal res. and rompiRg place for old and young. The men owe it to their families to contribute something towards ! fund for making the place avails- blc and comfortable. Let tbe springs be repaired, the platforms, steps, etc, renewed, and our word for it, the women and children. the old and infirm, the lame and the halt, and all other conditions of mankind will rise up as one man and call you blessed. A pop ular subscription paper for this purpose will be circulated next week. IL is estimated that s35 or $40, fifty at the outside, will put these health giving springs in or der, including the woodwork. This is . mere piitanee and should be raised in an hour.

How Iris.

Kentucky has long enjoyed The eel ebrity of producing the purest and best whiskey made in the world though unfortunately many dealers take ad- vantage of the good name of the State by misrepresenting spurious goods AS Kentucky's best product.
 We abhor deception in any form and onr motto has always been to sell none but pure whiskey. conscientiously refraining from the use of oils, chem. calls or anything else to make common whiskey palatable at the expense Of health to the consumer.
 In addition to our stocks of other whiskey we invite your special atten. ton to the
 OLD FORESTER WHIsKEY.
 We believe pure whiskey one of the most valuable medicines extant. and in recommending our Old Forester We say unequivocally that it is all abso. lutely pure, ripe and fine Kentucky whiskey, containing not drop of CO logne spirits or other substance to re, duce it's cost. We believe the Old For. ester costs more than any other whis. key on the market, and when quality is considered it is the cheapest to the consumer and contributes most to the good reputation of the merchant who handles it.

The ringing of the Court Hous


 The ringing of the Court House bell for the purpose of assem bling court, calls up memories of the days of stage coaches and country taverns. That was the custom in that dim and cob-web past. This IS an electric age, and such out of date methods should be abolished We bellevo the bell in the court house should be held sacred for the purposes for which it was ln- tended-that of striking the hours and calling out the fire companies in case of oonfsgration. The habit of ringing the bell upon any and all occasions when an assembly is desired at the court house should be discontinued. So far as the court IS concerned the regular stroke of the clock at and 2 should be sufficient warning to all who are required or ought to be there.

The Forrest City times., 1900-03-16

At least two of the candidates for governor should withdraw from the race, leaving the strongest man to oppose Jeff Davis single handed. Vandevonter could step down now with great deal of credit and policy. As between Bryant and Fletcher, while the writer's personal preferences are for the former, we honor Col. John G. Fletcher, and believe he will make the strongest candidate before the people. He is a self made man, farmer, banker, an ex-confederate soldier, and true and distinguished type of the old southern gentleman. He seeks the office because he loves Arkan- sas, and believes it would be an honor to be it's governor, and be- cause he believes that he can be of more benefit to his State in that position than otherwise. Col. Flether is alright. So is Judge Bryant, but the judge is compara- lively young man, and can wait. So, too, can Mir. Vandeventer. They should make the sacrifice in the interest of the State.

How is This for sporte

The above is an actual photograph
of Messrs. Chas. A. and Gilbert Gull
lick, two we'll known Brookings sports
men, taken upon their return from a
two days shoot at Lake Marsh in
Hamlin county, South Dakota, No
vember II and IS, 1899.
The Gullick brothers are genuine
sportsmen and seldom return without
ample evidence Of their ability to bag
game. These gentlemen are not
alone, however, in the enjoyment Of
such sport. There are many others
who every season have an outing Of
several weeks during the hunting
season, along the Big Sioux river and
about the numerous lakes in Brook
ings and Hamlin counties.
On the first Of September prairie
"chicken season" is ripe and for two
weeks there never fails to be splen-
did chance for sport In this section of
the state. This year any quantity OF
prairie chickens were killed by our
sportsmen and furnished delicious eat
ing for large numbers. Soon after
Chicken season" is over comes the
ducks which, in their fight from the
north, follow down the Big Sioux
river and find food and rest In and
about the many lakes in this vicinity.
Following the ducks come the fat and
toothsome goose, such as you see
strung along the side of the horse In
the photograph above, and it is not an
uncommon occurrence for good shot
to bring home five or six geese as re-
suit of a days hunting.
But while we have spoken Of the fine
shooting in Brookings and adjoining
counties, let US not forget the great
enjoyment there is to be had by fish,
ing In the several lakes which dot the
landscape in this part of the state.
Great numbers Of fish are caught each
season-but we don't propose going on

Beyond was an unknown and unex.

The canals of New York, Pennsyl-

Of transportation, both for people and
the commodities of commerce, as
there were but 1900 miles of railway
in the republic at this time, while
the mileage OF the canals was consid-

the Guide was given to rates Of freight
and passenger tariffs on the different
canals, together with points about the
best wagon roads in existence at that
time.
II is but sixty-four years since this
little guide was printed, but centuries
of progress have been compressed into
this comparatively short time. The
canal is but a memory, while thous-
