We are reliably informed that Mr..
Clarence Ellerbe says that regular
trains will be put on the Colfax &
Northern railroad, running from
Winfield to Alexandria, from and
after January 1st. Trains will leave
WINFIELD In the morning, and return
In the evening. This will be a great
convenience to the people of this en-
tire section, as 1t will enable them to
go to Alexandria and transact their
business and get home the same day.
whereas heretofore they have had to
take two nights and a day to do the
same thing.

How Gen. Jastremslkf is Aiding
The Republican Party.


The Shreveport Times of Dec. 10th
contains the following able showing
OF how Gen. Jastremski is aiding the
Republicans in Louisiana, viz:
"On Nov. 10, 1903. Mr.. L. z. Bent
ley, editor of the eDOnaldsonyille Chief,
staunch Republican and Federal Of
flee holder, delivered an address be-
fore the Republican club of New Or
leans. In that address he declared
that 1t was unnecessary for the Re-
publicans Of Louisiana to create a
campaign issue. as the Democrats,
Il. e. the Jastremskites), had created
1t for them. In order that there may
be no mistake about this, we quote
from the New Orleans Picayune and
the New Orleans Times Democrat.
which reported MIR. Bentley's speech:
New Orleans Times-Democrat:
"Our campaign (meaning the Re
publican party's campaign) in the
State is being waged for us better
than we could for ourselves. The
people are having it brought home
to them by Democratic speakers that
the State is In the hands of n politi-
cal ring, of an oligarchy, against the
mandates of which it is deemed trea-
son to go. The campaign thus being
waged is doing us good 1t is train
ing the people to that state of mind
when they will be willing to Hsten to
US when we present our claims"
New Orleans Picayune:
1.-The fight with regard to State
matters is being made. perhaps, more
effectively than we could do 1t our
selves. The people are being told by
the Democrats that this State is in
the hands OF political ring. They
are making our fight better than we
could make it ourselves because they
reach audiences we can never reach.
The Republicans have, to he sure. no
chance of electing State ticket next
year, but the people will be more
willing to listen to the truth"
II any further proof of the fact that
General Jastremski has been materi-
ally assisting the Republican party
than Is furnished by these two re-
ports of Mr.. Bentley's speech is need
ed by the Democrats of louisiana,
the canse of the Democracy of this
State is hopeless indeed.

The white man was not in sight. Phe ne gro pretended to know nothing that the sheriff wanted to know, and he was put into the dark cell for the re- freshment of his memory. That was about f o'clock. A short time after that the sheriff found the white man and soon satisfied himself that the two men whom he had captured were not the men he wanted. He let the white man go and took the negro out of the dark cell. He had not been in more than three hours. but he seemed dazed. The sheriff asked him when he left Ash Fork. After a little hesitation he replied: "I guess it was yistehday." Said the sheriff. When I locked you up you said that you had been at Ash Fork in the morning" "I member dat. said the negro. but dat was yis- tehday or the day befoah, I ain't suah which.

OLD AND NEW WAY.
Hycnei the Latest Scientific Discov.
 cry for the Cure of Catarrh.

The discovery of Hyomei has wrought wonderful change in the treatment of catarrh.
 Prior to three years ago the medi- cines ordinarily employed in the cure of this disease were nauseating drugs and worthless tonics. In some in stances they benefited. but the i'm. provement was not lasting.
 With Hyomei you take into the air passages of the throat and head 9 balsamic air that goes to the minutest cells. effectually killing all germs and microbes of Catarrh. It enters the blood with the oxygen, killing the germs in the blood. and restores health to the whole system. Many astonishing testimonials have been re- ceiVed from those who have been cured by Hyomei.
 A complete outfit costs but s1.OO. and includes an inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks treatment.
 Perh7ps the strongest evidence that can be given to doubters, is the fact that H. GOodman's pharmacy has so much faith in Hyomei that it sells every package under a positive guaran- tee to refund the money if it does not cure.
 Now is the time to hegin the use of Hyomei

TOBACCO RAISING
Proposition for the Launching, ,of a
 New Enterprise Here.

E. F.. Edmunds. lately of Albuquerque ana a brother-in-law of Nose Drach- man. has submitted 10 the board of trade plan for the fostering of a new Industry ln this valley. the success of which at least looks most promising at this time. That industry Is the rais- Ing and curing of tobacco.
 MT. Edmunds has spend the greater part Of his life In Q tobacco growing countTy-Virginia. Kentucky and other stttes-and .s personally familiar with all the details Of the business from planting time Co the marketing of the product. He has made some inyestiga- tiuns here. and Is satisfied that the weed can be grown successfully and to great profit He has in process of formation a company which proposes. if it receives the proper encourage mrnt. Go make a practical experiment b! planting twenty acres to tobacco. cUltivating it as it should be. and cur ing it as it has tO be done to be aTketabie product

He says that he q inks the plant will produce at least q sG0 pounds Go the acre in this climate and soil if properly cared for. and that E properly cured it should be worth at least 50 cents a pound. while he estI- mates that the expense of raising it V suld not exceed s75 Der acre. If those figures half borne out. it should prove a t t thing. The board of trade hEs appointed Eugene Brady O'Neill aud Ezra ". Tbayer a committee to confer with Ar.
