No man of family feels perfectly at his ease when bis wife and children are out driving behind a horse of questionable temperament. and there are thousands of ladies and children who require outdoor exercise and exposure to air and sunshine who will not avail themselves of the ser vices of the '' good old family horse. the thoughtful husband has provided. be- cause they are afraid to drive alone. and m this respect they are not to be centured because gentle horse. is like gun that isn't loaded, only more so i; he's liable to go eff Dat any time, and if your wife or child is crippled for life the only thing you can say is. didn't know it was loaded. "
 Scott Bond. of Madison, has procured the agency for simple device. called |" The Perfect Harness Hooker, which detaches your horse from the shafts all most in the twinkling Of an eye the min- ute the animal becomes unmanageable.
 The invention is safe and reliable and can be operated by child. If the horse is addicted to the habit of kicking or run ming away. with the use of the The Perfect Harness Hooker,' te may be driven with perfect safety and confidence. Another beauty of this excellent de- taeher which commends itself at once to the practical man is, that it's adoption de stroys the necessity for the use of traces or singletrees and there is no such thing as having 10 repair your backing straps or cross bars. It will be readily seen that besides being convenient in the re- spect that by it's use you will be enabled 1 to hitch and unhitch your horse from the buggy in l5 seconds. ' The Perfect Harness Hooker" " is both a saver of time and money.
 Already Scott Bond has taken a nun 1 bee of orders, twenty..ye or thirty per haps, in Forrest City, and the Detaeher is receiving the endorsement of our most substantial citizens. It is unduestouably l a good thing and no man who has the i pleasure. comfort and safety of his Wife and children at heart will be without "rhe Perfect Harness Hooker" when it is shown and its many good points ex- plained.

 Stanley was a good citiZen-a God fearing, upright man-and one who was highly respected wherever known. Every attention that the love and de votion of a good wife could suggest was shown the sufferer. Two ph1si. cians-oDe from Helena and another from Marianna-weIe called in con. sultation with ths home doctors. bu, to no avail; the grim reaper had al ready set his hand upon the prostratt man and science was powerless to gain ieprieYe of the sad summons.

YELLOW DOG CAMP

In last Sundays Memphis Commercial. in the Mississippi news, is an article head ed The Star Yarn Spinner" in which the correspondent makes light of a story of the iIl-treatment of a man named Gar rett in railroad camp called Yellow Dog" intimating that there was no such camp and that no such pratices was allow ed in Mississippi.
 Henry Franks, of this city, has been giving his experience to his friends here for several weeks while in the tolls of the "Yellow Dog" camp. Hesays Yellow Dog is no myth. He was hired with a lot of other hands in Memphis last December to go to Yellow Dog to work at S1 50 per day and board. bat that it was hardly 75 cents, and by the time the commssary got through with him and his checks there was nothing left. He says they were guarded with armed guards at all times, and could not leave until their time expired, and they were clubb.d for trivial ofeuses and had to sleep on straw.
 Franks says il was Ieyee work. and they are building a railroad on the levee; that c. D. Smith & Co.,, of Memphis, are the contractors, and that his boss was named Johnson. The place was also called The Gums. He says he heard stories of ne. groes being killed and buried ill the dump. but knows nothing of the truth, but that they were constantly being threatened Franks is young white man. and those who know him and hear him tell his OK periencc, believe he is telling the truth especially since they have read Garrett's yarn"

Herman Loehr manager of the Glib

in Salida with his wife, who has
been in the hospital at that place for

of serious surgical operation to

Loehr, we are pleased to be able to
state, has so far recovered As to be
abe to return home with her husband
last Monday.
pany has inaugerated All innovation
here in the use of electricity for light
ing show cases, which is so successful
that it will probably be initiated by
q number of other merchants in the
city All the show cases in it's sales
rooms have been fitted with incandes-
cent lamps. and when the current is
turned on after nightfal', the effect
is very pleasing, and inevitably
directs attention to the goods on exhi-
bition. This method of Illuminating
is proving very gratifying and it is
assumed that the profits on the in
among the goods displayed will many
times over pay the cost OF the cleo
tricity.
