with the Tonic, giving him a dose
every two hours. Within a week my
father was able TO walk about the
house. / persuaded him TO take
second bottle, and under it's use he has
grown strong. Although IS years old
on the gath Of last June, he has to-
day taken a horseback ride OF six

We are having entirely too much rain
and crops in the hills are growing toe
fast, while those in the fats are wet and
grassy.
Rev. w. A. Zeigier has returned from
South Louisiana, where he held several
successful meetings. He is always
gladly welcomed back to Rocky Mount,
and he and his family are much loved
and appreciated here.
Mr.. and Mrs E. A. Tharp and family
and Mrs. Stephenson and family, Of
Shreveport, have come up to Rocky
Mount hills to spend two summe,
months. This is quite cool place to
spend the sultry days of summer.
Lee and Andrew Burks have caused
the " Rocky Mount Bachelors Club" to
suspend meetings, 50 said, and if Dame
Rumor speaks the truth you may expect
your correspondent to report other mar
riages soon, for the boys are stampeded
now.
A beautiful wedding was celebrated al
Concord church in our quiet little COM
munity on the evening of June 18th, a,
$3.50 p.m., when Miss Emma Hoffpauil
and Mr.. Andrew J. Burks were united
in marriage.
Miss Emma, the charming daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. F. Hoffpauir, wearing a
beautiful gown of white organdie and
with boquet of jasmines in her hand,
made beautiful bripe.
Mr.. Burks, one of Boosters noble
sons and a prosperous planter near Ivan,
looked his best.
AS Miss Roberta Martin played the
wedding march, the bride and groom
marched up the aisle and when under
the pretty arch of evergreens and white
roses, Rev. j. NJ. Hickson performed the
ceremony, making them man and wife.
Refreshments were next served at the
model country home of the brides par
ents, where the hours so pleasantly
spent quickly passed.
The writer, and their hosts of friends
in North Bossier, wish Mr.. and Mrs.
Burks much success and happiness as
they journey through life.

Cotton Belt improvements.

From the Arkansas Democrat
In this age of advancement and prog
ress the st. Louis Southwestern, better
known as the Cotton Belt, has not been
idle.
For more than two years the company
has been preparing for an improved SER
vice. Grades have been reduced to an
average of twenty-seven feet to the
mile, lower average grade than any
line running to the Southwest. Curves
have been heightened, new heavy rails
laid, bridges renewed or strengthened
and track balasted. Over S., COO, 600 was
thus spent. Such was the foundation,
and it was we'll laid.
Next came the motive power. 1t takes
big engines to pull heavy trains at high
speed; eighty -five-ton engines, capable
of hauling ten or twelve-car train fifty
miles an hour are used in the Cotton
Belts fast service.
Fast trains are generally limited to a
certain number of cars. The usual num-
Der is six. The Cotton Belts fast service
for example, is made up of baggage car,
day coach, reclining chair car, two Pull
man sleepers and a dining car. This is
about the average makeup of limited
train. Limited trains are so-called by
reason of being limited to a certain
amount of equipment, or number of cars.
Limited trains do not, as a rule, haul
extra or private cars.
Persons not accustomed to regular
travelling are often astonished at the
righteousness of modern railway equip
ment and the constant improvements
being made.
Day coaches of the Cotton Belt STAN
dard now resemble in interior and exter-
Tor finish the standard Pullman of short
while back. These coaches are strongly
built, handsomely decorated, and equip
ped with the new high back seat, almost
equal in comfort to the Pullman seat.
In construction of the chair car perhaps
a greater effort is made to insure the
largest measure of comfort to passengers.
Chairs recline at almost any angle.
Ample smoking and lounging rooms for
gentlemen and toilet rooms for ladies are
at either end of the car. Marble-top
washstands, nickeled pluming and bevel-
ed glass mirrors add effectively to sur
roundings. Chair ears in the Cotton
Belts fast service are supported by the
standard Pullman six-wheel truck, in
surfing easy riding.
Dining cars do not necessarily come
last, although they are frequently car
ried on the rear of the train. No train
is now complete that has not a well or
dered dining service. So great has been
the progress in dining-car service that
the travelling public new-a-days demand
much the same service as they are ac-
costomed to at first-class hotels, cafes
and clubs.
Dining cars in service on Cotton Belt
trains comfortably seat twenty-four per-
sons at time. A corps of from five to
seven people is required to properly han
die dining car. Beautifully decorated
china, silverware of artistic pattern, and
snowy linen supply charm to the dining
service.
The Cotton Belt has train and SER
vice equal to any and excelled by none.

Fold 1t Up Carefully"
A reply to Father Ryan's poem, "The
Conquered Banner"
Gallant nation, foiled by numbers,
Say not that your hopes are fed;
Keep that glorious flag which slumbers
One day to avenge your dead.
Keep it, widowed, souless mothers!
Keep it, sisters, mourning brothers!
Furl it with an iron will;
Furl it now, but-keep it still,
Think not that its work is done.
Keep it till your children take it
Once again to hail and make it
All their sires have bled and fought for,
All their noble hearts have sought for,
Bled and fought for all alone.
All alone! sy, shame the story,
Millions here deplore the stain;
Shame, alas! for England's glory,
Freedom called, and called in vain.
Furl that banner, sadly, slowly,
Treat it gently, for it's holy.
Till that day, yes, furl it sadly
Then once more unfurl it gladly
Conquered banner, keep it still!

cred the government will of course
pay a fair price.
The Itch for the irrigation of the
tract :,ill leave the Shoshone river at
the dam at the upper end of the Cedar
mountain canon above Cody. The
first two and one-half miles of the
canal will be largely in a tunnel, the
canal reaching the open country on the
mesa above the Demaris hot springs.
From this point there are several
miles of expensive work in the cross
ing of deep valleys and canons, below
which the work is comparatively light
and easy.
The frs, section of the Shoshone
enterprise will involve the watering
of the lands between Cody and Gar
land, on the north side of the river,
approXimating so 1000 acres of irrigable
land. Below Garland and between
Frannie and Byron is a tract of from
$4,000 to 10000 acres along Sage
creek. the irrigation of which will in.
doubtedly follow the irrigation of the
Garland flats. From a point on the
main canal near the head of Alkali
creek, above Eagles Nest, a large
amount of fine land a be reached
on the drainage of the Clark's Fork;
and from this point. in dropping to
the Garland flats, enough water power
will be developed to pump water to
the ditch on the high mesa back of
Garland for the irrigation of at least a
portion of that beautiful and fertile
tract.
By utilizing to the fullest extent the
available water supply of the Shoshone
not appropriated by other enterprises
already constructed or projected. it is
believed that it will be possible to ulti-
mateIy reclaim upwards of 10000
acres. and make the Shoshone project
one of the great irrigation systems Of
the world.

The First AIl-American Cable.

1t is a fine thing for the United
States TO have its own cable across
the Pacific ocean,, the laying of which
was but recently completed. This one,
however. was not the first to span that
ocean, although it is a common mis-
take that it was. The first all-British
cable was successfully laid almost a
year prior to ours. 1t is also a com
mon mistake in dieting yourself as a
means of curing stomach ills. Nature
Intended you to eat heartily and the
stomach to digest the food so as to
give you strength and health. If your
stomach is not doing this for you take
a dose of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
before each meal. 1t will restore the
stomach to its normal condition and
cure indigestion, dyspepsia. constipa-
ton and liver troubles.
