The Same old Scheme.

A half dozen picture men are
working out from Britt again The
scheme is said to be the old one of en-
larging pictures. If there is the same
old graft of a contract that finally
brings a picture in frame that is
sold from 81 to $40 whole lot of
people will feel just as they always
do when they find they have paid at
least three times as much for these pic
lures as they could have bought them
for at home. People cannot hire
livery teams. scour the country. pay
ing hotel bills and car fare to give
away anything There must be a
graft in picture enlarging.when. either
of our home furniture dealers will
send any picturesaway, get it enlarged
III the pest manner and frame it for
less than half what these fellows
generally get. No one will succeed
IN getting picture from travelling
fakirs for less.than So and more likely
$40 or Sl5, and then will come the
mourning. Deal with home dealers is
a good axiom. They will stay here
and Will make their words good. The
men who take picture orders rarely
return to deliver the goods and collect
money for the frames. 1t is another
gang who do this and any verbal con-
tract is no good whatever. Be careful
what you sign and sign nothing what
ever for stranger is also good advice
but there are hundred people who
won't read this article who will get
caught on picture deals in the next
two weeks. Some of these "havn't
time to read," others take too.many
papers" still others don't believe
half what they read, but they will lis
ten to the siren song of the stranger,
and buy apple trees. gold bricks, and
enlarged pictures inst the same. They
always have, and will continue to do
so. We will give The Tribune fres
three years for the difference that All
enlarged picture will cost one of the
victims more than it would cost to
take it to j. A. Treganza or to Mrs.
Johnson and have the same work done
We realize that it is forlorn Hope to
call attention to our readers of this,
but do it as duty to our fellow oiti-
zens. -Tribune.

From Napier New Zealand, Herald:

Don's Use Powder.

A Fayette girl had some powdered
charcoal for tooth cleaning purposes
near her powdering puff. When an
admirer rang she was sitting in the
dark. She snatched up the puff, gave
it dab into the charcoal, passed it
hastily over her face, went down stairs
into ;the light, chartered gracefully
with the Young man for an hour and
came back to the light and looked in
to the glass. Her feelings may be
imagined.

Chicago Tribune Clubbing Rate.

For two or three years past we have
succeeded in getting a very low rate
for our readers for the daily Chicago
Tribune, conceded to be the greatest
daily in Oh cago. We sent i'll large
number of subscriptions last year, and
many are already asking whether the
rate will be in force this year or not.
We have after much correspondence
succeeded in getting low rate this
year, although it is twenty-five cents
higher than last year. This is on &C
count of the increased cost of white
paper, and the addition of new and
expensive features to the Tribune.
This rate is also good only during Oc-
tober and November All should re-
member that after Dec. 1st we cannot
get this rate and cannot accept SUBJ
scripuons under this proposition, The
low rate is as follows:
Chicago Daily Tribune one year, 81. 90
DEBORAH PublicOpinion one year, l.50
S.. so
Both papers one year .............S 50. 10
Chicago Tribune six months and
Public Opinion one year, both only
$2.65.
You can have no better opportunity
to secure reading matter for next year
than this. There is no better paper
than the Chicago Daily Tribune. Ask
any bank in Winnesheik county But
don't wait until December to speak
about this and then miss 1T Come in
at once Last year over 100 wanted

TEMPERATURE SEASONAL
Much Progress in Crop Cultiva. tion Made the Past Week.
 Grains Doing We'll.

Following is the weather and crop report concerning Arkansas for the week ending May 31:
 The temperature was seasonal during the week, with light scat tered showers. All farm opera tions were carried on without in- terference and crops are as a rule free from weeds and, while not suffering from lack of moisture, are beginning to need rain.
 Cotton made good progress; the early planted is being worked out and in the southern portion chopping out is we'll advanced. The late planted and that which was replanted is generally com ing up to good stands, although in some sections there is some that is not up, as the ground is too dry for germination.
 Corn is growing nicely and is

generally in good condition. It is we'll cultivated and in some sections in the southern portion has been worked out the third time. The stalk is generally small, but healthy and of good color.
 Irish potatoes are doing well. In some sections they are being harvested and good yields se- cured.
 Wheat, oats and other small grains are doing nicely.
 Pastures and gardens are gen. orally in good condition, but would be benefited by rain.
 Apples and peaches continue to promise an average yield. Blackberries are abundant and are beginning to ripen.
