II WAS 4 FROST
WHICH HON. JOHN s. LITTLE RECEIVED HERE WEDNEs.
 DAY NIGHT.
The Shortness of the Notice and the Cold Weather No Doubt
 Caused Small Crowd.

Hon. John s. Little of Greenwood. candidate for governor, met with a complete frost" here Wednesday night, at which time he was billed to address the voters of Jefferson county at the courthouse. redeeming fea- ture of the frost" however, was the fact that MT. Little's appearance here had not been advertised very exten- sively, and few persons were prepar- arrived in the city Wednesday, and immediately registered at the Tralock hotel Later, his friends had a num- Der of handbills printed and distribnt. ed throughout the city advertising the fact that he would scuss the issues Of the campaign at the courthouse that evening In addition to this, the speech was referred to through the columns of the afternoon press. But the notice was so short that oHly a very limited number of people turned out to hear him. and after his arriv- al at the courthouse Mir Little stated that he would postpone his talk until some future time, when he hoped he would have a better audience present to hear him.

FIFTEEN DAYS
ALL TIME LEFT TO PINE RiuEr PEOPLE TO GET READY FOR
 CRACK OF DOOM.
L. s. Nicks Says 1t Will All Be Over Soon. and Exhorts People
 to Prepare.

With awful prOphesies of death and destruction to himself and everybody else in the world, c. s. Nicks walked the streets of Pine Bluff warning all those who would listen. The whole earth, he said, would be destroyed in fifteen days, and he himself was doom ed to immediate destruction He sang, and he prayed, and he wept for salvation before the awful hour should come to him, and begged his hearers to make their peace also. The mans antics on Third avenue soon drew a crowd of the curious Thursday morn. ing. In the crowd Officers Senyard and o. Parnell were standing, and as these gentlemen objected to being taken off the earth so prematurely they proceeded to lay hold of the man and take him to the station.
 Immediately after his arrival at the station, he picked up a Western Un- ion telegraph blank and wrote the fol- lowing message to one w. w. More land at Waldo, Ark, who, he claimed was his brother-in-laW:
 Come for me at once; will be dead C. S. Nicks.'
 Chief Stewart decided that the man was mentally unbalanced, and con- signed him to the custody of the county officers.
 He will have a hearing before Just ice of the Peace P. T. Culpepper.

dies.
about four years ago I was af11ict-

face and few covering my body,
which produced a severe itching irri-
tation, and which caused me a great
deal of annoyance and suffering, to
such an extent that l was forced to
call in two of the leading physicians
of my town. After a thorough exami-
nation of the dreaded complaint they
announced it to be skin eczema in its
worst form. They treated me for the
same for the length of one year, but
the treatment did me no good. Fin
ally my husband purchased set Of
the Cuticura remedies, and after
using the contents of the first bottle
Of Cuticura Resolvent in connection
with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
the breaking out entirely stopped. l
continued the use of the Cuticura
Remedies for six months, and after
that every splotch was entirely gone
and the affected parts were left as

Then a man who sought some city

except that it closed in few minutes,
joined the ranks of walters.
Still the woman placidly turned over
leaf after leaf, without any apparent
intention to decide whether the name
she was seeking was Brown, Smith or

Finally, when matters were begin
