 The town of Cove, located seventeen miles outh ot Mena' IS thriving these days, the business interests having increased rapidly recently, owing largely to its close proximity to the Indian Territory and the timber business recently opened up there, to oe,her with the fact that much of the money paid the lodians IS freely spent n that vicinity.
 The saw and blaming mills are all husy and the mercl aais re port goad soles, pd several new build,ngs have been efected, all showing prosperity.
 Uuder the able manag ement of Editor T. F. Fulton Cove now has the best paper ever published in this county, outside of Mena. and if the business men of that vicinity are wise they will see that it is sustained.
 In view of all these facts It was
  10 be expected that the picuic celebration announced for Cove last Saturday would be a success and 50 it proved to be.
 The picnic grounds were locat- ed on the west side, near the public school grounds and every thing was nicely arranged with speakers stand and seats with the usual compliments of refresh meut stands, swings, etc.
 The base ball grounds were located on the opposite side of town aud served to divide the at tention of the crowd as two in teres.iug games were played, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The first between Mena and Cove teams, and the second between Cove ard Gilman
 After bountiful picnic dinner had been served Mir. T. P. Fulton delivered a short address of ~t come, and introduced A NJ. Parker, who as representative of the Farmers Cooperative Union, made an earnest speech in behalf of the principles of that organization. This was followed by talk on true patriotism by A. w. St. John, after which all who chose witnessed the base ball contest.
 An interesting feature of the occasion, especially to visitors from abroad, was the large num- Der of Indians, bucks, squaws and papooses on the grounds en- joyiug themselves in their own way, several of the big braves very much under the influel ce of firewater which they had man agOd in some secret way 10 secure and partook of freely.

All women work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and displace-
ments or perhaps irregularity or
suppression, causing backache, ner-
vousness, irritability and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day, to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is so
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due to
some arrangement of the female or
ganism.
Miss F. Orser, of ID Warrenton Street,
Boston, tells women how to avoid such
suffering; she writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkha1p:-
s. suffered misery for several years with
female irregularities. My back ached; had
bearing-down pains, and frequent headaches;

THE GREATER COST OF LIVING

The high cost of living which is
general throughout the country,
has become such serious matter
to the working classes and people
of moderate means that the news
papers are beginning to devote
some attention to it. Investiga-
tions have established the fact
that there has been a startling ad-
vance in the prices of all the ne
cessities of life without a CORES
ponding increase of the wage rate
in any of the industries to enable
the people to meet the advance.
The New York World has recently
selected twenty five articles of
every day food for rich and poor
alike, in order to illustrate the re.
markable rise in prices within ten
years. The quotations it presents
are the wholesale figures of 1896,
thus avoiding the various fancy
prices charged by the retail deal
ers of the city according to their
location and class of customers.
These figures compared with the
wholesale figures of the present
year 1906, show an average in
crease in the price of the necessi-
ties of life of from SO to SO per
cent. To make the situation
worse for the poor the price of
rents has scared simultaneously
with the price of food which, of
course, compels the people to de-
prive themselves in some other
line or to occupy poorer or less
healthy quarters. On the other
hand, the higher-priced food
means for the poor a reduction of
both amount and quality which
naturally results in less nourish-
ment and a steadily decreasing
physical condition.

IN pusLlc SERVICE

Among other things, President
Roosevelt said in his much talked
of-muck rake speech:
If a public man is willing to
yield to popular clamor and do
wrong to the men of wealth or to
rich corporations, it may be set
down as certain that if the oppor-
tunity comes he will secretly and
furtively do wrong to the public in
the interest of a corporation.
People are a long time coming
to realization of this truth.
1t has been supposed, for some
unknown reason, that men who
would attack corporations because
of public clamor, and in order to
gain popularity and office, are
honest, and would not under any
circumstances do things 10 the
public injury.
But it is a mistake. There new
er was but one kind of honesty
A demagogue who will injure one
class for his own benefit and in or.
der to get the support of another
class, will, when the opportunity
offers, and when he can be bene-
fitted by the act, do all he can to
iniure the class which he formerly
favored.
There never was a time when
there was more need of honest and
courageous men in public affairs,
and by honest men is meant, OF
course, the man who will be hon
est with himself and who will be
as quick to rebuke popular clamor
against capital as he is to denounce
the misdeeds of men of capital.
The dishonest poor man needs to
be rebuked just as badly as the
dishonest rich man, and there
should be in places of authority
men who will yield to neither.
1t is an encouraging fact that
everywhere throughout the coun-
try the demagogue has less in
fluence than ever before. The PEG
pie are beginning to Understand
his hollowness, his lack of sinceri-
ty and his inability, if not actual
discrimination, to be of any ser
vice whatever to them.

CLARK HOWELL IN AMERlcus

Hon Clark Howell was the hon.
ored guest of Americas and Sum
ter county yesterday, and the re-
ception accorded him was fatter
tering in the extreme. Not in a
score of years has such great and
representative audience assembled
here upon a political occasion.
Men in every walk of life, mer-.
chants, farmers, jurists and men
of affairs generally packed the
opera house to the standing room
point, and the distinguished speak
er was accorded the most earnest
and respectful attention through
out his address of nearly two
hours. The full gist of Mr.. How
clips speech is given elsewhere in
the Times Recorder, and from this
it will readily be seen that he full
Iy covered every issue injected in
to the campaign, defining clearly
his own position thereupon and
exposing the fallacies and foibles
of his traducers. 1t is the uni
versal opinion that an ADLER, more
logical or more convincing demo
cratic speech has never been de-
livered before an Americas audi
ence, and the Times Recorder con-
graduates Mr.. Howell upon the
magnificent reception accorded
and the splendid impression he
has created upon our people, and
likewise rejoices with them in the
privilege of having these most i'm
portant issues fully eulcidat ed by
one as fair, honest, eloquent and
altogether sincere as Clark Howell,
the champion of the rights of the
people of Georgia.
