Marianna. Brinkley and Wynne are putting forth their best and most strenuous efforts to secure new lines of railroads to open up contiguous fer tile territory. and thereby increase the trade of their respective towns. The Marianna and Brinkley folk are surveying q road, which they call the Marianna, Brinkley and Western. the towns named 10 be the terminals for the present. There seems to be some probability that this road will be built in the near future. The Nynne folk are figuring with the Missouri Pacific for a direct short line to New port 10 be known as the Wynne. New port and Western. but there seems to be little hitch in the route. the rail- road going one way and the citizens desiring il another Forrest City al- ready has splendid railroad connection with the outside world, but it might ba well for our citizens to begin to think of others. Ne have no fear that either of our sister cities will ever outstrip Forrest City either in population, enterprise or anything else. but we do not want to stand still. and just as well be OH the lookout for new and greater achievements.

A CavefuIl OF Dead. Indians.
jeff Adams, a w~ell-known cattle
man, rode into Phoenix with a tale
most gruesome. In the Superstition
Mountains he had found a cavern
30 by 100 feet in area, heaped up with
the skeleton of about 200 dead Indians.
The cavern is up in the side of a
~precipitous gorge, reached only by a
dangerous trail. In Phoenix Adams
found that he had r~ediscovered the
long-lost cave where, in December Of
1872, the Fifth Cavalry accomplished
the greatest job of Indian killing in
the history of the army. The Indians,
Mojaves and Apaches, had fled to the
cave, pursued by five troops of cav
airy and a company of Maricopa In
dian scouts.
The besiegers had settled down to
starve the aborigines out, when n
of the troopers discovered that by
shooting at an o~verhanging rock bull.
lets could be made to glance into the
cavern. Firing in this manner was
kept up until the glancng bullets had
killed or wounded every Apache with
in. Then the Maricopas led the way
and finished the bloody job.
Under the body of it's mother was
found a year-old babe, which was
adopted by a Maricopa squaw, later to
be sent to Eastern schools and to be-
come the famous Indian physician, DR..
Carlos Montezuma. To-day the skele-
tons lie as the bodies fell under the
merciless carbine fire, and it is doubt
full if in the intervening years a Single
foot, with or red, has pressed the dust
of the tavern floor.
The Maricopas cleared the cave of
valuables and took the scalps of the
victims.-Denver News.

1t was that evening that the father

There is a fact about King Alfonso
well worth knowing. Of all the kings
who have ever lived. with the sole ex-
ception Of Jean I. of France, who lived
but a few hours, he is the only to
be a King from the mocent of his first
breath-a veritable 'born King" And
since he is much spoken of these days
it is not amiss to know his name, which
is, his Most Catholic Majesty Don Al
fonso XIII, King of Spain, of CASTLE,
of Leon, Of Aragon, of the two Sicilies,
Of Jerusalem, Of Navarro, of Gibraltar,
Of the Western and Eastern Indies, OF
the Oceanic Continent, Archduke Of
Austria, Duke of Burgundy, of Brabant

Master of the Golden Fleece. This is
not really all, but it is a good deal to
live up to, V e. for a King.-Boston

FOOD AND STUDY
A College Mans Experience.

"All through my high school course
and first year in college," writes an
ambitious young man, Il struggled
with my studies on a diet of greasy,
pasty foods, being especially fond of
cakes and fried things. My system got
into a state of general disorder and it
was difficult for me to apply myself to
school work with any degree of salts
faction. l tried different medicines and
food preparations but did not seem
able to correct the difficulty.
Then my attention was called to
Grape-Nuts food and 1 sampled it. l
had to do something, so l just buckled
down to a rigid observance of the direc-
tons on the package, and in less than
no time began to feel better. In a few
weeks my strength was restored, my
weight had increased, l had a clearer
head and felt better in every particu-
lar. My work was simply sport to
what it was formerly.
MY sisters health was badly run
down and she had become so nervous
that she could not attend TO her music.
She went on Grape-Nuts and had the
same remarkable experience that
had. Then my brother, Frank, who is
in the Postoffice Department at Wash.
ington city and had been trying to dc
brain work Oh greasy foods, cakes and
all that, Joined the Grape-Nuts army
/ showed him what it was and could
do and from a broken-down condition
he has developed into a hearty and
efficient man.
Besides these L could give account
of numbers of my fellow-students who
have made visible improvement men
tally and physically by the use of this
