 "IfIhad one half the ability to attend to my own business" re- marked an aged gentleman to a town gossip the other day, that you have to attend to other peoples business, would be worth a million dollars.
 He told the truth approxi- mately at least.
 The idea should be indelibly i'm pressed upon every ones mind.
 If one would succeed in this world he will decide to waste no time with other peoples busi- ness.
 There are few vices more dam. aging than minding other peo. pies business. It is a weakness that ruins more people than strong drink or cards. It is . direct ronte to sneaking and dis honesty.
 As an index to character ii breeds distavor and distrust. Ii creates more trouble, causes more hatred and enmitv; ii breaks up family, destroys con fidence among men and doe: more to retard peoples chances of success in life than any other one thing. It cost young mer their positions and defeats pro motion.
 Stop this deplorable habit Apply this rule to every thing from business to profit.
 Mind your own business.

AN UNUSUAL SUIT.

A very interesting suit was filed in the circuit clerks office today.
 ] T. Chears, Sr., and ]. T. Chears, Jr., doing business at Winchester, Ark, under the firm name of J. T. Chears and Son, entered suit against the Mann Tankersley Drug Company, or this city, for damages in the sum of Ss65, this amount being the value of several horses and mules which the plaintiffs allege died from virus sold by the de- fendant company.
 Compliments allege that the defendants sold to the com- plainants five cases of vaccine virus, which is prepared for vac cinating cows to prevent a di- sease kuown as black leg; and that instead plaintiffs ordered a vaccine virus to be used for vac cinating horses and mules to prevent charbon or anthrax. After receipt of the virus shipped by defendants the complainants inquired of the defendants why they had sent black leg virus when plaintiffs had ordered char bon virus. To this the defend ants replied by answering com plainants that black leg and charbon are the same disease, and that black leg and charbon virus were the same.
 Compliments state further that they administered the black leg virus to six horses and two mules and that all died from the inoculation.
 Compliments pray judgment for damages for $S65, and for other proper relief.

I have seen some so-called Jerseys that were not worth their feed, while there are others nearly worth their weight in gold, History tells us that the Jersey has been bred for more than five hundred years on an island mid way between and not far from either of the two greatest butter consuming cities in the world, London and Paris, and that they were selected and bred exclusive ly for supplying butter for these great cities.

Died.

MT. Robert E. Sharpe, at his home at Highland Park, the 22nd of April. He was born in Miss. Aug. 2oth 1881 and had only been in this county about 10 months.
 He leaves father, mother and several brothers and sisters, and a host of friends to mourn his death. His sufferings were great in his last illness; but he bore it with patience and died in peace. Yes, Robert Is dead. Just as youth was entering into manhood, the death summons came. Our hearts hearts go out in sympathy to the bereaved family; whose hearts are crushed under this sad affliction. As a son, he was affectionate and obedicnt; as a brother, devoted and loving; and in consequence of his many amiable qualities of heart and mind, he had gained a host of friends. When they gathered around his bier, for the last time on earth, many an eye was bathed in tears and many heart was wrung in bitterness of grief.
 This should be a sweet consola- ton to you, father and mother, and may the image of the great burden bearer rise before you and strengthen your hearts. His re- mains were laid.to rest in the Enon Cemetery, Wednesday, April B.

The cotton speculators are a smooth lot. They keep the prices low until 1t is all out of the hands of the raiser. and then the price advances until at the planting seasonit is high enough to induce the planter to put i'll a big crop which of course is re- ported all over the world before selling time and the price drops down to a low figure. Oh! 1t is smooth and we would like to see combine as effective in it's results as the various trade unions all over the country that affect employment in nearly all circles of labor. A union of cot ton raisers that would absolute ly control the acreage and price of the product of so much labor and toll, that in too many in stances Is sold for a mere DOT tion of its cost Such q scheme IS of course impracticable, for 1t IS the cotton raiser who is in debt that is forced to the cotton, while the free farmer, puts less in cotton and more in grain and stoek.-Guidon.
