Taylor for Senator.

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 6.-There
has been a persistent rumor in polit-
ical circles for several weeks to the
effect that Gen. Bates friends would
prevail on him not to stand for re-
election and make way for ex-Gov.
Taylor.
There has been many quie', but
important moves on the political
chess board during the past ten days,
and none is fraught with more sig
nificance than Taylor's activity in
the campaign and his close align
ment with the Bate and Carmack
forces.
Taylor has made the point blank
statement that he would not be a
candidate against Gen. Bate. By
this move he won over lot of the
old generals friends, and it is posi-
BILE that the old war horse may be
prevailed upon to retire to private
life.
From the indications two years in
advance of the senatorial race, it
looks as if Taylor will be quite a
contending factor. The present can
vass is ostensibly a gubernatorial
campaign, but the senatorial race is
figuring very prominently under
cover.

A Typical South African Store.

o. R. Larson, of Bay Villa. Sun.
days River, Cape Colony, conducts
store typical of South Africa, at
which can be purchased anything
from the proverbial "heedle to an
anchor" This store is situated in a
valley nine miles from the nearest
railway station and about twenty five
miles from the nearest town. Mr..
Larson says: 81 am favored with the
custom of farmers within a radius
of thirty miles, to many have sup
piled Chamberlain's remedies. All
testify to their value in household
where a doctors advice is almost
out of the question. Within l mil :
of my store the population is about
sixty. Of these, within the past II
months, no less than fourteen have
been absolutely cured by Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. This must
surely be a record"
This remedy is for sale by Cox q
Co., Bolivar; J.W.Nuckolls, Toone.

Senator Carmack.

Senator Z. w. Carmack spoke at
the court house ednesday after
noon. The building was comforta-
bly, filled, though the crowd was not
large, only few from the country
attending. Our farmers are back
ward in harvesting their crops, and
while many were anxious to hear
the gifted speaker, they were com
PEELED to forego that pleasure. All
who were present enjoyed treat.
Mr.. Carmack's remarks were de-
voted almost entirely 10 trusts and
Imperialism, which he handled with
the hand of a master. The republi-
can party and its president came un-
der his whitening fire for their many
sins and crimes against the people.
The speech was literally applaud
ed throughout and was a great eff
fort in behalf Of democracy.

From Searey, Ark.
MR.. EDITOR:

/ look forward to the arrival Of
your paper as a dear friend, pleas
ure indescribable and appreciated
only by those similarly situated
away from home and native state.
Searcy is called the Athens of
Arkansas. Nor do we wonder,
| when her colleges and cultured
men and women are considered. In
lovely shaded campus of eighteen
acres, stands Galloway Female Col
lege, an elegant building of brick
and stone, sheltering and educating
$50 of Arkansas fairest daughters.
Searcy's Male College is a school
for young men and boys. 1t has
turned out hundreds of young men
who are now leading business and
professional lives in whatever sec
ton they locate.
The Searcy Female Institute,
select high school for young ladies,
inferior perhaps to no similar in
stitution in the country.
Searcy Public School would do
credit to city ten times the size of
this.
Searcy as a health resort is re-
nowned. From the center of a
lovely park in the heart of the city
gushes forth in exhaustless quanti-
ties, clear, sparkling sulphur and
chaly beate water. From these the
invalids and pleasure seekers quench
their thirst.
Nor have our people forgotten
their duty to the giver of all good
and perfect gifts, as evidenced by
the number of elegant church edi-
fees throughout the town. We
have no saloons to lead our boys
and men astray. Just here l would
like to say amen to what the Grand
Junction correspondent says in re-
gard to temperance. We should
vote only for those who favor tenn
perance, and then we want men
who when those laws are made, to
enforce same. God forbid that any
of your readers should ever expert
ence the remorse that a broken
hearted father felt many years ago.
He was bending over the bleeding
body of his only son, who had just
been brought home in a dying con-
dition from drunken carousal.
ooh, my child, why did you do
this, why have you broken your ia
theirs and mothers hearts?" The
dying boy looked up into the face
of the weeping parent and answered:
"Why father, what are you crying
for, l am dying as a result of your
sin and mine. You taught me to
drink at your own table. You are
as much to blame as l." If my boy
is trying to walk in the path that
am walking in, l must be very
careful that walk in the path of
purity and truth and honor and
sobriety.
Wishing you and your readers
everything that is best for you in
this life, l close, fearing the waste
basket. BLUE EYES.

SOME TIMELY HINTS.

The seed potatoes should be where
frost cannot reach them.
The farmer has no better friend
than his plow. Then why put it away
rusty?
The scotsman loves the man who
orders early. The farmer who does
so is wise. 30
Paint applied now to farm imple-
ments will have staying quality and
saving virtue.
Open burrows in the grain field
now so the water will not stand in
low places; and be sure and stop the
washes in the orchard and the hilly
field. Straw, corn fodder, sods or
evergreen boughs or brush, can be
used for the latter purposes.
Butter keeps well in cold storage at
IA degrees, fresh meats at 20 degrees;
for short storage, game, poultry, fish
at % degrees, eggs and canned meats
at 80 degrees, apples at 81 degrees,
cabbage, celery, onions, parsnips at
80 degrees; pears, carrots, asparagus,
cranberries at SO degrees; grapes,
oranges, potatoes at "a degrees;
cheese at IS degrees, peaches at ae
degrees, and many perishable fruits
at about 40 degrees.-Farm Journal

There's story of a farmer and his
son driving load to market. Of the
team they were driving one was
steady reliable old gray mare the other
fractions, balky black horse. On the
way the wagon was stalled and the
black horse sulked and refused to pull.
"What1l we do father p'' said the
younger man. "Well' said the father
II guess we'll have to lay the CAD on
the old gray" That homely compli-
ment to women: 1.-The gray mares the
better horse" suggests how often when
there's an extra strain to be borne it is
laid on the woman s back. How often
she breaks down at last under the add
ed weight of some ''last straw" Wo-
men who are dragging along wearily
through life can gain real strength by
the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
discovery. It puts back in concentrat-
ed form the strength making material
which working women use up more
rapidly than it can be restored by Nat
ure in the ordinary processes of nourish-
ment and rest. DIR. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets are universal favorites with
women because they are easy to take
and thoroughly effective in curing the
consequences of constipation.

A FINE FERTILIZER.
Alfalfa Not Only Has Great Feedinr
Value, But Rivals Clover as q
Soil RestOrer.

The great value of alfalfa as feed
ing stuff, especially in the western and
southern states, is well understood.
This has been esta blished by long prac-
tlcal experience and by the scien-
tific investigation of number of the
experiment stations. These investiga-
tions have not only demonstrated its
value as feed for all kinds of stock,
including pigs and poultry, but have
shown the stage of growth at which
the plant contains the greatest
amount of nutritive material and the
best ways of curing and ensiling the
crop.
The value of alfalfa as a fertilizer
has perhaps not received so much at
tention, although a number of sta
tions have investigated this phase of
the subject. Prof. Buffum, of the Wy
oming station, has shown that the
crop is especially valuable for inereas-
ing the nitrogen of soils of the arid or
semi-arid region, for improving the
tilth and for destroying weeds by
crowding them out.
In experiments at this station 1t was
found that land which had previously
been in alfalfa produced So to $12 more
value in wheat, SIG worth more in oats
and SIG worth more of potatoes per
acre than land which had grown po-
tatoes and grain before, and these "in-
creases of yield and value were pro-
duced with absolutely no cost for fer
tilizing the land" The results were
obtained on land which had been in
alfalfa five years, leaving nothing but
the stubble and roots in the soil.
According to analyses reported by
the Colorado station, ton Of alfalfa
hay contains A pounds of nitrogen,
s.27 pounds of phosphoric acid, 50.95
pounds of potash and 40 pounds of
lime. Alfalfa is leguminous. plant
and is therefore able to draw the
larger part of its nitrogen from the
air, thus causing an actual increase
of nitrogen in the soil.
1t can readily be seen from the above
figures that If the alfalfa is turned
under a considerable increase in the
available fertility will result, but even
if the crop is removed the soil is i'm
proved in tilth and fertility by the
shading of the ground and the decay
OF the large, deep growing roots of
the plant, as was demonstrated in the
experiments above referred to.
