YELLOW FEVER
There Is No Occasion For Alarm
Reremter The Lessons of The
 Epidemic of 1893.

As we are now threatened with another visitation of the dreaded yellow fever it is well to remem- Der the experiences of the last occasion. In all sections where yellow fever made its appear ance it will be recalled that per- sons who kept their stomach, liver and bowels strong and active were not affected by the disease; while others apparently healthy were stricken down.
 These latter were all more or less habitually constipated, bilious or victims of bad digestion; as re- suit the blood became impure and the vital organs were unable to resist the deadly fever germs.
 Now is the time to prepare for what is to follow. Get your fam fly and yourself in shape to re- sist the disease. You don't know when you are exposed to it.; every man you meet may be affected, and if you put your preparations off from day to day you may be too late. The sensi- ble course is to begin at once taking Prickly Ash Bitters, that
 marvellous system regulator and
 blood purifier. Use it regularly
 every day. Half a wine-glassful
 each morning after breakfast
 will keep your bowels open and
 healthy; it will also strengthen the stomach and digestion, purify the blood and by stimulating the liver and kidneys all bile and uric acid impurities will be driven out of the body. In short, it puts the system in perfect order. Remember 1898. That was record year for Prickly Ash Bitters. In the sections where it was used the most there were fewest cases of fever. You connot do better in this hour of danger than to make use of the means which experience has proven to be the best for fight ing off this terrible scourge. 7e

SEARCY AROUSED
Over Juy's Verdict in Trial Of Gus Benton for Murder of Walter Gray.

Little Rock, July 31. Sheriff Bill" Williams of Forrest City arrived in Little Rock Sunday morning from Searcy, where he spent the past week attending the trial of Gus Benton, charged with the murder of Walter Gray. The case went to Searcy on a change of venue from St. Fran. cis county. The jury retired at 8:3O o'clock Saturday night and reached a verdict in the second degree near midnight. Benton s punishment was fixed at ten years in the penitentiary. Sheriff Williams says the verdict caused intense indignation at Searcy, and it was generally conceded that the state made a clear case of murder in the first degree. The prosecution was represented by Prosecuting Attorney P. R. Andrews of Augusta and R. J. Williams of Forrest City. The defense was represented by Judge N. w. Norton and Walter German of Forrest City and Brooks Norheet of Memphis. Benton was charged with killing W. L. Gray near Kinton, St. Francis county, June 6. It is alleged that he was sleeping with Gray, and about II o'clock at night, together with Berry Minor and Bob Martin, took an ax and brained the deceased. John Davis, a negro, was left on watch and appeared against the defendants as a states witness.
 The trials of Minor and Mar tin were continued until Septem- Der. Jim Pickens of Griggs township, St. Francis county, a star witness for Benton, was in- dicted by the grand jury Satur- day evening on charge of per jury in connection with his tes- timony in the case.

BOTH RIVERS RISING.
White and Black Rivers Booming and Threaten Thirty Feet of Water
 at Newport.

White river will reach a stage of 30 feet say prominent river authorities within the next few days. The register of Tuesday was 24.9 feet, or F foot rise in the past twenty hours. At Bates vile, however, White had fallen 4 feet Monday evening, but a rise of 2 feet was experienced during the night.
 News from Pocahontas and other Black river points is to the effect that this tributary is food ing the upper bottom lands and manifesting the biggest rise of the year.
 S. o. Massey wires from Cot ter that the river is 25 feet there and rising 10 inches ar hour. ;, with heavy rains and threaten ing clouds along the head waters. With such discouraging infor- nation at hand, the gloomy fore casts of river men are hard to refute, and the outlook assures enormous crop losses throughout the bottom sections to the mouth of White.

 teachers is visiting in this city at present and is having the pleas ure of meeting among the busi- ness men of the town many stu dents who were under his in- struction during his term of ser vice in the public schools.
 Gustave Jones, who, with his family is the guest of his moth CT, Mrs. Wm. R. Jones in south east Maryville, was assistant principal of the Maryville schools in 1882-3 and is we'll remembered by a large number of the citizens here who knew him while he was engaged in educational work.
 At that time MT. Jones was quite youthful for one occupying a position of such responsibility, and he is still a young man. For this reason persons who now meet him for the first time find it hard to believe that he was identified with school interests so many years ago.
 The former Maryville teacher that was is now engaged in the practice of law at Newport, Ark. ;, where he has resided for the past fifteen years. During that time Mir. Jones has become we'll known in his profession and his legal duties now take him into every part of the court circuit in which he lives.
 FEELS INTERESTED HERE.
 It has been his custom to spend a portion of his annual summer vacation in Maryville and in this way he has been enabled to keep in closer touch with the friends and affairs of his former home. Mir. Jones is a firm friend of Northeast Arkansas, in which section of the state his home town is located, and he believes New port is destined to become a place of considerable size and import ance. The town is now about the size of Maryville.
 Cotton is the chief crop of that section of Arkansas and Newport contains, among other industries two large cotton congresses, these assisting in making that town a strong cotton market.
 The successful attorney has not lost his interest in the work of education, and talked entertain ingly on that and kindred sub- fleets.
 "I have become much inter- ested in the normal school con- test in which the towns of North west Missouri are engaged, " said MT. Jones Thursday, "and l hope to be here until the matter is decided.
 Missouri has an unusually good public school system and the work of the Maryville schools stands remarkably high in the state. "-Maryville (Mo.) Trib- une.
