The reg ularity and frequency of it's visits, the cordial sincerity of its tone, make for 1t soon the place of a familiar friend in the house. Like good friend too, it stands always for those traits and qualities which are typifed in the ideal home, and are the sources of nations health and true pros perity. Is there another Christmas present costing so little that equals it?

Mrs. Sanders Very Ill.

The news that Mrs. ". T. Sanders nee Miss Mattie Laura MoseIey. was very dangerously ill with appendicitis ana that there was scarcely chance Tor Der to recover, spread q deep gloom over the entire city the first of thls week, which still hangs like a heavy cloud obScuring the sun. over the hearts of the entire populace Besides her devoted relatives and dear ones at home scores of loving ana admiring friends have felt a deep sollcltude and absorbing interest in her condition which overwhelmed all other matters of concern.
 Mrs. Sanders was stricken i'll last Friday, gradually growing worse and worse. Everything that love and science could do was done to save her precious life, and on Tuesday Dr. Jno. Maury, of Memphis, was called in consultation with Dr. Alley. and an operation for appendicitis was per formed most successfully. The doc tors, however, gave scarcely a ray of hope, and those to whom she is so dear have watched at her bedside night and day deyotedly and untiring- y since she was first confined to her bed.
 Mrs. Sanders is one of Forrest City's nobest women, and Ter death would not only be terrible blow to her loved ones, but an irreparable loss to this entire community. She rested well Wednesday night, was consider ed better yesterday, and upon inquiry just before we go 10 press today. we were greatly relieved and pleased to know that she had very good night last night and seems to continue to improve. with the chances hourly growing in favor of her ultimate re- eoyefy, a miracle, We might say, de- voutly to be wished.
 If prayers and tender nursing. and the most devoted attentions of the family and loving friends will avail, then she will get well. Her indomit- able courage has been greatly ill her favor. She has stoutly affirmed from the first that she would not leave this earthly habitation, and We now be- lieye she will recover May God grant it.

His Arm Disl0cated,


 MT. Frank Barkhardt, of the firm of J. W. Ayen & Co.,, Bakers. met with painful accident yesterday af- ternoon. He started to go riding on horseback. The horse was in fine spirits on account of good feed and the beautiful weather, and when he was taken out of the barn was quite fractious and succeeded in unseating his rider. Frank is a toleraby good horseman, and was not to be cheated out of his pleasure by little thing like that, so he mounted him the sec ond time, and started down street, go- ing all the gaits in one. As he was turning the corner of Washington and Jackson streets, one of the stirrups broke, again unseating him and throw ing him 10 the ground. It was an ugly fall and he fell on his right arm. It was feared that the arm was badly fractured. Dr. Alley was summoned, and upon examination found no frac- ture, but bad dislocation of the el- bow joint. The arm was treated and Frank is feeling easy this morning.

YOUNG MAN HAS
 NEW THEORY
Human Life Seems Centered Tn Stomach.
 All Else Is Secondary.

The immense success which has fol. lowed l.. T. Cooper during the past year with his new preparation has ex. ceeded anything of the kind ever be- fore witnessed in most of the leading cities where the young man has intro. duced the medicine. Cooper has a novel theory. He believes that the hu. man stomach Is directly responsible for most disease. To quote his own words from an interview upon his ar rival in an eastern city: "The average man or woman cannot be sick If the stomach is working properly. To be sure. there are diseases of a virulent nature, such as cancer. tuberculosis diabetes, etc, which are organic. and are not traceable to the stomach. but even levers can. in nine cases out of ten, be traced to something taken into the stomach. All of this half-siek. nervous exhaustion that is now so common. is caused by the stomachic conditions, and 1t is because my rem edy will and does regulate the stom- ach that l am meeting with such sue cess.

Cotton.

The farmers of the south have shown the money changers, who inaugu- rated a panic by drawing money from circulation in order to depress prices, that they are not so easily frightened as they were supposed to be and that they will probably be able to hold to their cotton until the mills are com pelled to have it, and in order to get it are willing to pay the just and req sonable price demanded for it. From every cotton growing state, informa- tion comes that the depression in the price of cotton following the panic, has made the owners of cotton more determined than ever to hold cotton off of the market until the minimum price is offered, and the contest is on between the owners of cotton and the mill owners as to which can hold out the longer, the farmers without money or the mills without cotton. Prophetic vision is not required to see that the farmers can bring the mills to terms if they can withhold their cotton from sale until the mills begin to need it, and to do that every farmer owning or controlling cotton should put it into the warehouse of his organization and arrange to get reasonable loan on it, to meet his pressing necessities, and hold his cot ton as long as may be necessary. Those farmers who are so for tunate as to have means of their own and are not under the necessity of borrowing should aid their less fortunate fellow-farmers by storing their cotton and keeping 1t from being sold. No one needs to be told that in union there is power strength to overcome any dmcultY, and every one will admit that if the farmers Of the south are firmly united for the purpose of securing l fair price for Che product 5t their labor. they WiIl succeed. -plrdaneilc Post Dispatch
