That's the condition of many sufferers
from catarrh, especially in the morning.
Great difficulty is experienced in clear
ing the head and throat.
No wonder catarrh causes headache,
impairs the taste, anell and hearing,
pollutes the breath, deranges the stom-
ach and affects the appetite.
To cure catarrh, treatment must be
constitutional-a Alternative and tonic.
II was afflicted with catarrh. I took
medicines Of different kinds, giving each
a fair trial; but gradually grew worse until
could hardly hear, taste or smell. / then

A RELIC OF THE CIVIL WAR.

Referring to the conduct Of the war
in the Philippines the Baltimore San
says, anent the inquiry made into the
seventies practicsd against the ma
tiveS:
Military order No. 100 is a relic VI
the Civil War. 1t NAV. as is claimed,
provide an adequate defense for Gen.
Smith. Under its provisions parts Of
the South were converted into a
"howling Wilderness" ust as Gen.
Smith ordered to be done in Samar
thirtyseven years after the Civil War
ended. Under the noble and humane
War Department code Of 1868 a com
mander could direct his troops to
give no quarter if it was not expedi
ent to be numbered with prisoners.
The keynote thirty-nine years ago
was War is hell" Sharp wars are
brief" Retaliation Of the sternest
necessity. Gen. Smith NAV have
thought himself justified in applying
the same code to the natives Of Samar
which he applied to his brother Amer
leans in 1868. He may have assumed
that "howling wilderness" in Samar
i. no less than one in Georgia, South
Carolina and Virginia. But possibly
we have become more humane and
sensitive since the great civil strife.
At anv rate those who condemned the
enforcement Of order No. 100 in the
war between the States have sound
reasons to protest against the revival
of the order in the war in the Philip
Dines

gress and wherever it streams men

Not another flag in history has such
mission as that or goes forth
to carry such tidings upon land and

AS we behold it streaming here-we
who are veterans and the sons OF

zens, too-with one blood pulsing in
veins unclotted by a single bitter
memOry-can take it to our heart:
and lift high above our heads and
thank God that is waves at last above

OUR HOME PEOPLE FIRST.

The Henderson GOLD LEAF will
notice that this paper is also among
those which do not carry the tobacco
trusts half-page cigar advertise
ment.
The Gdzete is proud Of it's local
advertisers. 1t gives them the best
service it has, and charges them only
very moderate prices therefor When
we have anything good to give away
we want to give it to them. We saw
no sense, no ustice, no honesty or
fairness, in charging our home people
moderate price and then letting in
the tobacco trust at less than half Of
the same rate
Hence, the cigar advertising does
not adorn the pages of the Gazette
every other issue. To have admitted
it at the price offered would have
been to pin deaths 's-head badge on
our rate-card and hoist the flag of
decentralization over the business de-
partment OF the paper. Getting
along pretty we'll, thank you, as it is,
we had no occasion to do either Of
.AoSS
When we get ready to open our
advertising columns at the price in
dlcated. we are going to open them
to our home people. And if the local
advertisers, who stay with their paper
year in and year out, would step into
the offices of the papers which carry
this cigar advertising and demand
either as favorable terms as the to-
bacco trust gets or a cancellation of
their contracts, they would see some
thing real interesting take place, we
reckon. Gazette.
This expresses our sentiments s1-
actly. We are neither so rich nor so
righteous that we will not accept bus
mess from the tobacco trust because
it is such; but We will not sell them
space in this paper at a less rate than
is charged other people. Their money
is just as good but its purchasing
power is no greater.
We are ready to do business with
any reputable concern on business
principles but from such as this cigar
advertising we beg to be excused

 We notice that our friend and school-mate: E. c. Kramer, is in the race for representative of Woodruff county. We would be glad to hear of his success, for we know the honor could be be- slowed on none more worthy. At college, away from the re- straining ties of home, is said to be the time that tries the princi- ples born in a boy. In Nashville he was the same Kramer that you know him now, sober, Christian, diligent and persever- ing in his work. We were proud to claim him from Arkansas for he was a worthy representative of our State at college where state spirit and pride are so high, and state lines are so jealously drown.

The News ia authorized to an- nounce Hon. Eugene Parrish, of Jonesboro, as 8 candidate for con gross. We had the pleasure of hearing his speech at Au4uSt ta last week and judging from his manner of oratory, which Is in- tenseiy eloquent and entertain ing, we conclude that if he is the peoples choice, he will sing the praises of Arkansas in con gresS until some of cur defamers will hide their faces in shame. Mir. Parrish is a scholar of the highest attainments; he is as con- versant with the growth, and progress, the rise and fall of all the nations of the earth, as a girl is with her dolls. He has und0ubt- edly been a close student of gov ernental principles and the growth from despotism to free dom and liberty; from the divine right of kings to American inde- pendence. If MT. Parrish is the people $ choice, we have no hesi- tancy i'll saying that the honor and interest of Arkansas will be in safe and competent hands.
