The greatest surprise wedding of
the season occurred last evening at
6 o'clock, when Miss Bessie, daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. M. Kinnard,
and e. r. Tansil were united in the
holy BON d s of matrimony. The
marriage took place at the resi-
dence OF Rev A. c. Griffin and the
ceremony was performed by that
popular minister. Mrs. Griffin was
the only witness and not even the
members of the families of the
contracting parties were let into
the secret.
The bride is one of Paragould's
most popular a Id accomplished
young ladies. She has for the past
three months been identified with
the Soliphone as collector, and, we

in our service for the time being.
r. r. Tansil, better known as
sRed Erastus," needs no introduce
tion, He is known to everybody in
Paragould and his acquaintance
extends all over the county. He is
one of the most prominent and re-
spected young business men in the
city and is engaged IN the restau-
rant business, being Of the firm Of

Elk Cafe, one of the most popular
resorts in the city.

Mr.. Hayden credit of $3.50 in the

this was when the report was fin

considerable heat at times over the
matter, but 1t was finally settled
with compromise Mr. Hayden

The God Liver Oil QUESTION.

No one will dispute the curative and
strength creating value of cod liver
oil For centuries it has been recog-
nized as the grandest of all healing
and body building agents for wasted
human strength aud vitality.
Yet, owing TO the heavy, greasy oil
which envelopes the medicinal ele-
ments, and which has no value either
as food or medicine, many patients
weakened by disease cannot digest it
either in its raw form or an emulsion.
and others will not take IL on account
of its disagreeable odor and taste
consequently its value is lost.
Now, the process discovered by two
eminent French chemists = Morgues
and Gautier - should interest every
person in Union City. for all of the

DANGERS FROM DYSPEPSIA.
Imperfect Digestion the Most Prolific
Cause OF Serious Disease.

While health reports do not give in
digestion as a cause Of death, yet it so
weakens the stomach and the whole
system that 1t makes one readily sus-
ceptible to serous illness.

feeling of heaviness in the stomach,

PATTERSON ELECTED
Plurality Will Reach About
10000 Votes.

The returns from the start gave
indications of Democratic vic
tory in Tennessee. In Obion the
majority was a little more than
1900, but the reports show also
that the Republican vote was light.
Patterson carried Davidson County
by a plurity of $500 and Shelby
County by 1000. The entire Dem
ocratic ticket in Shelby County
was elected, defeating both the
Republican and Independents, in
cluding Taylor and his ticket by
safe pluralities. I e estimated
plurality in Hamilton County was
400 for Patterson. Dyer County
was the banner county, returning
larger Democratic plurality than
ever. Patterson's plurality was
1000. Patterson's plurality in
Upton County was 500, and in
Lauderdale County 500. Patter-
sons pluralities in other counties
are as follows: Gi bson, /, 700;
Cannon, 400; DeKalb, 100; Smith,
$50; Stewart, $50; Warren, $40;
Upton, $40; Benton, $50; Humph
reys, 500; Lincoln, 1000; Hous
ton, 300; Giles, 1900. At Jack
son Patterson's plurality was 500.
The Republican pluralities are
lighter than two years ago. Some
of the counties give Evans a plu,
rality as follows: Union County,
1000; Hamblen, 200; Jefferson,
1,100; Cooke, 800; Loudon, $780,;

ORGANIZE FOR THE WATER

WAL
Governors, Senators and Repre-

States have already signi6sd their
intention of attending the Water
ways Convention to be held in St.
Louis less than two weeks hence,
and the list of delegates from com
merclal and industrial organiza

ing of nearly sixty years ago, in
which Thomas H. Benton, of Mis-
souri,, and Stephen A. Douglas, of
Illinois, started the ball rolling
for the building of the Pacific
railroads.
But the convention will come to
naught if it does not go at its work
with definite end in view, upon
which all its efforts shall be con-
centrated, This is to be distinctly
d Central West convention and its
main purpose is to get from Con-
gress sufficient appropriations to
begin work upon the ship channel
from Lake Michigan at Chicago
to st. Louis.
1t will be the first step toward
fourteen foot channel in the Illi-
nois and Missippi rivers from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico.
Incidental to it and, perhaps, part
of it requiring immediate action is
provision for a better channel in
the Mississippi from St. Louis to
Cairo.
The enterprise will be strenu-
ously opposed by commercial and
transportation interests which do
not desire that traffic shall be di-
verted from its present line of
movement. The opposition will be
powerful and resourceful. 1t may
be expected that every effort will
be made to turn the convention
aside from its main purpose.
If the convention listens to these
wiles it will be failure. To ac.
complish anything the convention
must stick to its definite object and
perfect an organization for press
ing il upon the attention of Con-
gress.

work must be commissioned to go

BUMPER CORN CROP
Sale of the Product Would Give $13.
SO to Every One in America.


Atchison, Kan, Nov. Figures
have been prepared by officials of
the Santa Fe on the corn crop of
the year, which, because of their
proportions and the ultimate rela-
tion of the crop to the general
prosperity of the county, are at
tracing much attention. The
years crop is estimated at 2,730,-
900, 200 bushels. If weighed it
W ou d amount to ne arly
80,000,000 tons. If it were shucked
and thrown in piles it would make
seventy six of them, each as high
and as broad as the great pyramid
of Cheops. If shelled and sent to
elevators it would tax to the ut
most the full capacity of forty six
centers of distribution, each as
great as Chicago.
If put into cars, each containing
1000 bushels, the corn would re
quire 5000 trains of thirty cars
each to carry it to market. Put.
ting two trains to q mile, they
would stretch fiften times across
the continent, or twice around the
globe at the Kansas parallel.
There is enough Of this corn to
supply every living person in the
world with two bushels. Even af.
ter the country's own vast con-
sumption has been fully provided
for there will be enough to give ev-
cry person in Russia's vast En-
pire one bushel. At present mark
st prices this crop would be worth
81, $40, 400, 900. Allowing a de
cline of 10 cents a bushel in the
price when the market becomes
the value of the crop at
he decline would be 81, ,092, 900,
