THE BIG SACRIFICE SALE
Maxfields Big Sale at Batesville At tracts Large Crowds and is Full
 filling all Expectations.

Batesville, May 30.-Promptly at $ o'clock Wednesday morning, on the day promised, Maxfield's store opened it's doors for the great sale, after being closed two days to arrange, mark and prepare the stock.
 It was promised this would be the greatest low price sale ever in- augurated in this country. Evi- dently many people had read the advance announcements because they were waiting for the doors to open. Everything in the house was found to be tagged with plain figures, which was undoubtedly the first evidence of good faith be- cause when the goods and price of every item are before you for your careful and undisturbed ex- animation 1t Is plain that there IS no fear on the part of the company that their values will fail to appeal to the prospective buyers.
 This sale is for the purpose of closing out the entire stock. The prices are necessarily low because otherwise the prime object could not be obtained.
 The crowds attending the sale and the large purchases they are making best attest the sincerity of the promises that have been made. Absolutely every item advertised can be found to be exactly as rep resented and at the low prices promised because anybody who de- sires Is invited to bring q circular and compare the prices on the tags with those in the advertisement. Instead of finding any thing not as advertised, it will be found that by no means are all the goods de- scribed in the circular. Hundreds of the many bargains are not ad- vertised at all and many other things equally as attractive as those advertised will be found when you visit the store.
 There can undoubtedly be no better investment than to buy merchandise if the prices are away under normal or actual values and if it is such goods as you are sure to need in the future. That the prices are under what will ever be offered again is for any visitor to decide for himself. Every price is in plain figures and everyone is free to examine the goods and note the marks on them.
 The freedom of the store is of fered to all and the matter of buy ing is left to the discretion of the people. The sales people are ready to serve but will not urge any one to buy, therefore, there need be no hesitation on the part of any one to come as often as they desire and stay as long as they please whether they wish to buy anything or not

THE SACRED BLIND TIGER
J. R. Alexander Says the Man Who Tanks Up and Disturbs the Ami
 mai Should be Pinched.

NIT. EdltOf: In your worthy paper of last issue noticed the following:
 It looks little strange that men can tank up and get in the lookup in prohibition town. Where do they get their booze, and are the officers doing their dutyln
 l agree with you that it is strange to see some men every day and many men some days staggering on the streets of a pro- hibition town, and that too in q county where the people by their voice and vote have made a law prohibiting the sale of the stuff which makes men stagger, go crazy and turn demons, and finally show up to their wronged loved ones in q state of debauchery and pollution. For the sake of our own dear boys and<girls can't we say some kind word to persuade our brother and neighbor whom we love not to further spread this awful scourge, just for the love of money!
 am stranger in your county, having resided here not more than a month. But where l have been, "tanked upo means for one to wax exceedingly flush and full on such cold temperance drinks as new corn whisky and lager beer. And if he is sufficiently tanked up he won't sleep or go away back and sit down, but persists in stalk ing about town disturbing every body, no matter if they are engag- ed in just as honorable and high calling as the aforesaid lager biber; or frightening the children out of their wits, or breaking the sublime and solemn quietude of that noble and sacred animal. the blind tiger. I say he ought to be locked up till soberness prevails, and his re- spectful mind returns to him, and I want to tell you now, if you have had some 'rapschalliono to come to your town and get drunk and disorderly, your officers ought to lock him up. They couldn't do anything else, and be true to their oath for they are honorable men. Were not your officers the favor ite sons of an honest, confiding people, whom they believed would protect them by enfoacing the law, let it be what 1t may, without fear or favor to anyone! Dld they not promise the people en- forcement of the law, simply by the fact of their asking for or ac- cepting the honorable positions they now holdl And do you not know, sir, that every single officer, after he had been elected, had to qualify by appearing before some one who was authorized by law to administer oaths, and take a sol- emn oath with his right hand pointing heavenward and solemn ly affirm before his God, the ad- ministering officer, and his delight ed constituents, who looked upon them with such felicitous pride, that he would support the constr tuition of the United States and the constitution of the state of Arkansas, and to the best of their ability discharge the duties of their offices! Hence, not for one mom- ent can they afford to allow any violation of the law by any one, though he be a brother.
 You ask me what are their du- ties? 1 will not attemp to detail

IMPOLITE OFFICIALS.
Caused the Chinese Boycott, II Is
Said.

San Francisco. Cal, Aug. III.
w. Davidson. acting consul general
at Shanghai, who arrived from the
Orient today. says the cause of the
Chinese boycott is discourteous treat
ment which sons of influential Chi
nese officials have received at the
hands of the immigration officials on
landing at San Francisco.
Davidson thought the fact that or
ders had already been placed for six
months ahead for delivery of Ameri-
can goods would prevent the boycott
being successful but he admitted
that a popular anti-foreign feeling
might be aroused which would carry
the fight beyond control and result
in serious consequences.
"The purposes of the boycott" he
says, has never been to secure the
admission of Coolies, but TO gain a
proper treatment of the exempt
classes"

Tobacco Early planted tobacco

BILE complaint from counties in the
western and central portions OF the

the crop vary considerably, and there
Is no doubt but that the lack OF cul-

quite detrimental. On the whole, how
