That old wicker Chair.

To renovate q shabby wicker chair first cleanse the wicker thoroughly. using a SC: abbing brush and plenty G. soap and water. When dry the chail will be g.eatly improved with coating or two of green stain. For the seat make a cushion of green linen or pret- ty greenish cretonne. Another cushion for the back may be liked, and 1t is easily made Make it of the same ma terial as the seat cushion and of bag shape, longer than wide. It may be fas- tened to the chair by means of tapes sewed at the top and bottom. If a loose cushion be preferred pretty yellow linen would look nice and contrast well with the green. Make the case slip fashion, so that 1t may easily be wash ed. An unbleached calico bag will be good enough for the vegetable down with which the cushions are filled.

AFTER SICKNESS
Our Druggist, A. G. BedeII, Tells How
 to Regain Strength.

Owing to this changeable climate and unreasonable weather, there has been a good deal of sickness in Pine Bluff during the past few weeks, said our leading druggist, Mr. A. c. Bedell, "and we want to say to the reople of Pine Bluff that the one thing to aid recovery after sickness is to give the patient bodybuilding and strangth-restoring tonic. one that W create an appetite and give strength to every organ in the body"
 Now" continued Mir. Be Tell. from an int mate knowledge of almost every medicine on the market, we not believe there is another remedy in the country equal to our delicious cod liver oil preparation, Vinol, fo this purpose.
 Vncl is not patent medicine, as everything in is named on the back label of every bottle; it contains every one of the bo 1y-bulding, medic inal elements of cod liver oil, actual ly taken from fresh cods' livers, but without drop of the system-clogging g oil to upset the stomach and retard it's work
 It acts directly on the stomach tones up the digestive organs, ere ates healthy appetite, makes pure, rich, red blood healthy flesh and muscle tissue, and creates strength for every organ in the body.
 MT. Edgar A. Howe of Concord, N. H., says that after long, severe sickness he was weak and emaciated, all tonics seemed of no avail, but Vnol restored in marvellous man. ner, health, strength and appetite
 If Vinol fails to build up the run down and convalescent, give new life ard strength to the aged, cure stom- ech troubles, hard colds and hang'no on coughs. we cheerful1y refrna owe. dellar paid us for it.o A. q. BeGer druggist.

A physician hastily summoned by means of stomach pump saved his life.
 It was the morning of Wednesday, Dec. 20, that Davis started to work in the mine. In some manner he became separated from the other workers and wandered into an abandoned part Of the great underground world, where he soon became lost ill the tangle of corridors which ran in every direction.
 At first he was not alarmed. It did | not seem possible that a miner, used to finding his way ill such places, could be lost for more than short time.
 Finally the realization came over the man that he was hopelessly lost and that he must husband every resource at his command if he hoped to get out alive. His dinner pail was well filed and he carried a flask of tea. His first care was to make these last as long a possible

Antimacassars Were Ads.

"This is an antimacassar," said an antiquary. "1t is hundred years old and very valuable on account of the quaint designs of its embroidery. Some day shall sell 1t to a millionaire. Yes. some day this antimacassar will adorn a millionaires larlor, figuring there as an antique object of art, and that will be as though spittoon of today should figure as an object of art in some aes- thetic lady's drawing room in 30OO."
 He laid the antimacassar. kind of tidy, in a sandalwood box. Then he went on:

THE COTTON ASSOCIATION.

1+ seems difficult to keep some or, eanizations that were orlslnaiiy ioi III. cd for good and useful purposes anu ,,b;ob in their inception had more or loss general approval, out of lmprop- or leadership, such as tends to pe'. vert the organization or destroy lts efficiency. This is applicable to laoor unions, which were originally 1otlneo to create better working conditions and +o make more effective Wofkers, and with which purposes all right thinking persons were found to sym pathize and encourage, says the Cha'' tarooga Tradesman.
 But these organizations gradually rot into the hands of designing per- sons. who found they could be maln' 4ained in Dositions of higher profit and less labor through agitating the "riph.s of labor" until, grown strong or. they have added demand after de- rand, growing more and more arb = trary and antagonistic towards all other interests and classes, they now find rublic sympathy slipping away from them, and their very organ'za- -$'o-s threatened with disruption at the hands of an outraged public.
 And it looks like the Southern Cot ton association, which was formed for a good and most laudable purpose, is destined to come to the same end, unless wisdom is speedily learned and it's efforts to force arbitrary prices on the great product of the south are abandoned Starting in to secure 10 or 11-cent cotton. and which its lead CTS declared would be ample to re- munerate the producer, when this price was reached it gives cut the same old cry of those who have never been known to be satisfied with enough. but always call for more ' regardless of all other interests and considerations.
 The south is building Up a great in Gustry in the manufacture of cotton.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1906-02-02

Already mill ems upon top Of mllllons of dollars have been invested i'll IL, and it is on the success of this indus try that the possibility of maintain ing a profitable return to the farmer so largely depends.
 Should the farmer arbitrarily place his product where the southern mahu- facturer can not profitably handle H.. 2 double injury is done, and dam- age to the south is inflicted that may prove irreparable. Is it not wiser and safer. therefore. for all interests to let inc law of supply and demand govern in this as it should ill all matters o1 this character?
 When the manufacturer is just feel- ;ne his way into expanding markets his efforts are crippled and perhaps totally destroyed before he can reap any returns on his investments and soon we have the old story repeated of killing the goose that laid the
 
 golden egg"
 The Tradesman believes that the farmers should receive 10 to 12 cents for their cotton, and that any arrange. ment ur combination they can make to secure this will meet with general favor, but the manufacturers of the south are not ready for 15-cent cotton and the farmer will find that he has been misled, or worse, playing into the hands of spectators just when he was seeking to avoid them when he attempts to force 15-cent cotton on the country. We do not wish to charge the leaders of this movement with using the farmers for their own gain. but it has very much that ap- pearance The crop has passed large lv from the hands of the farmers; only a portion of it now remains in tEeir hands, hence there is specula- ton somewhere in this move for 15- cent cotton just at the winding up of the season. Such prices mean an increased acreage, and very largely increased one, at that. Since it was found last year that the proposed re auction in acreage was only partially successful, so that no kind of agree nents will hold down the acreage this year with 15-cent cotton anywher@ in sight.
 Increased acreage will inevitably lower prices, and if any considerable portion of last years crop remains in the hands of the farmers when the next crop appears, with larger acre age, prices may go down until the farmers will suffer heavy losses whe. they should and could have received remunerative prices under different policy.
 We hope the farmers will be warned in time and accept 10 or 12 cents for their cotton and permit manufac- turers to open other and wider mar kets, so that this great crop of the south may continue to enrich this section and be an inducement for the settlement among us of more farmers whom we all want badly.

 If ia often remarked that with the forefathers courtesy was studied art that recent generations do not have lime to cultivate. This is illustrated in the following letter:

 Finally the mans presence of mind left him. He forgot his caution and ran blindly about risking his life at every step. His voice gave out, and he could shout no more.

THE EASY OIL.
Scott's Emulsion is

Scott's Emulsion is "the easy oil "-easy to take, easy in action. Its use insures deliverance from the griping and nau- seating sensation peculiar to the raw oil. Nobody who has any regard for their stomach thinks of taking cod liver oil in the old way when Scott's Emulsion is to be had. It is equally certain that no one having q regard for their health will accept a cheap emulsion or alco- holic substitute for Scott's Emulsion. It fulhlls ev- cry mission of cod liver oil and more.
