Money Made Easy.

For many years Forrest City was the hecca of patent right agents, but of late years they have given us the 20 by. To make money easy, was the in- ducement held out. and it was no trouble for an oily-tongued agent 10 convince the best of our citizens that ms Invention was just the thing.
 Even to-day, hidden away in an un- used corner of desks, may be found patentee rights to rat traps, clothes lines, monkey wrenches, lid filters churns, quilting machines, self-open- ing gates, and hundreds of other money making devices, on which but few Of the owners ever received even enough to pay for the county right.
 It don't require any experience or mechanical engenuity to operate most of these patents. The butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker all alike can easily work any of these money makers. And so our friend kleiber, the baker, thought, when he was induced last week to invest a RIO Dill Tn patent singletree, an article which no family should be without, whether they possess a horse or not. The agent demonstrated the impossi- billty Tor horse, mule, ass, COW. OK or goat to run away-or rather do any damage in running away-while hltchcd to this singletree. All you have to do when the animal becomes refractory is to pull a strap, and there you are seated comfortably in your buggy in the middle of the road. and your horse hurrying home to his oats. It is wonderful labor-saying. life saving device, and our eyes are al- ready blinking at the anticipated dia- monds our friend klieber will wear. The singletree can be adjusted to an automobile or gasoline launch.
 We greet the coming again of the patent right man.
 Seriously, since the above was put in type, for little fun at the expense of onr friend, Kleiber, we are inform ed that Messrs. Rolfe Eldridge and Fred kleiber, have in fact purchased the county right for this splendid, and we might say almost indispensable article, and any person interested may see it in practical use and opera ton at Mallory & Eldridge's livery stable. If this swingle tree had been in use the unfortunate accident of few days ago, when two young ladies were thrown from buggy and pain fully hurt and very badly scared, would not have happened. The price -s350-is very reasonable, and every family should have one or more. Call around at the stable and ask to see this most excellent device.

w. II. M. Society.

The W. H. NJ. Society held it's regu- lar weekly meeting at the Methodist Church, Tuesday, Oct. p, with Mrs w. T. Sanders, the president, as leader.
 While the attendance at the last three meetings has not been as grati- flying as might be, yet we believe that home mission enthusiasm has risen with the temperature, and good work is being accomplished in this auxiliary.
 The week of prayer, for October, was observed at home by number of the members, and very liberal free will offering was made for the Nashti Home in Georgia.
 A most interesting paper upon the origin and history of this Home was read by Mrs. Eugene Williams, and Mrs. Alley gave an article, stating clearly the object of these funds, and just how they would be appropriated, The character of the work at this Home and School should appeal to every man and woman, and the united offerings and prayers of our member ship will surely bring great blessings to those girls who are so sadly bereft of parental love and are now the chil. dren of the w. H. NJ. Society.
 The interest in the Discipline Study continues to grow, and the members feel very much benefited by this work.
 Our President is especially desirous of better attendance, and urges that each member become a subscriber O. Our Homes, the official organ, that we may more thoroughly acquaint our selves with this very broad work anc gain inspiration for greater efforts Everyone of us need the message this little paper brings to us each montl to stimulate us mentally and spiritu ally.
 Very good reports from the loca work have been made, and most sub stantial box has just been sent to the Orphans Home at Little Rock.
 Business of importance will be trans acted at the next meeting, and eact member is most cordially invited tC be present.

Complimentary to Miss Cummings.

Mrs A. J. Naccaro was hostess on Tuesday to a number of friends at a heart party complimentary to Miss Hattie Cummings. Myriads of waxen candles, in silver candelabra lighted the scene of loyeliness. An unique latticed drapery of pale green and white depended from the arch be- tween the earlors while hearts of green and white garlanded the lace draperies. and were in evidence wherever needed to add to the effect. Beautiful ferns and blooming plants were grouped prettily around the rooms. A salad course dainty in its appointments was served at the close of the game. The prizes were min- iature landscape in Empire frame, which went to Mrs. Linn Hurley, and the honoree's prize, a water color fig ure of young girl.
 A pleasant feature of the after noon's delight was the vocal and in- strumental music by Miss Land.
 The score cards were in harmony with the idea of the entertainment, being water color pictures of girls.
 The guests were Misses Cummings, Rollwage, Calling, Hatcher, Barrow, of Columbia, Tennessee; Land of Lexington, Kentucky; Lucy Williams, P'Poole, Gertrude Walton, Cor man, Nimocks, Vaccaro, Mesdames Clark,

| all manner or ailments.
 The physicians of the city are amaz- ed at the work he is doing, and have tried to shake the wonderful influence he las over the people. even going so Tar as to threaten prosecution, but as he does not accept any money for his services, and does not give out any medicine himself, they have been powerless to interfere.
 Cooper created considerable amuse- ment at the expense of the doctors by asking them why they did not write their prescriptions in English so their patients would know what they were taking.
 Since the interest has become so widespread that Cooper cannot meet the people personally, he is receiving an enormous mail, and keeps large force of stenographers employed in an swering it. In the meantime stories of marvellous cures continue to pour in.
 Mrs. C. Fry, living at ls2 Oak street, had suffered agony for months from rheumatism. In telling about her case, she said:
 Il have had rheumatism for over. nine years. It has been gettiug worse every year until have been almost cripple from it for the past eighteen months. l have been unable to write for over three years, as the knuckles of my hands were so swollen 1 could not close my fingers enough to write. Every joint in my body was in the same shape, swollen and intensely painful: The suffering has been too great to describe. l have seen doc tor every week for ten months and have tried in evey way to get we'll Hast week came here and bought some of the Cooper medicines. was told to come back in case I did not improve. l have come back anyway just to express my thankfulness.
 "You see my hands. The swelling has almost gone. So has the pain. If you will lend me pencil I will show you that can write.n Mrs. Fry here took the pencil and used it readily. II told a neighbor who has rheuma- tiSm about it, and she said maybe it isn't the medicine; maybe it is some- thing else 1 told her that until I knew what the something else was 1 should keep on taking the medicine, and advised her to do likewise D
 Cooper claims to have received the formulas of the medicines he is using from an aged priest in sleepy Spar. ish town in Old Mexico. The Mexi- cans believed that holy water or some supernatural element entered into their composition.
 Cooper receives an enormous daily mail. Letters are coming from every part of the state asking for advice.
 The philanthopist reads every letter carefully, and replies to each one, ad- vising the remedy which:is applicable l 10 edCn llulVluual case.
 While his remarkable cures are the chief topic of conversation, many sto- ries are heard on the streets and in business places of his goodness to the poor. His gifts of food, money and clothing have relieved great amount of distress and have greatly endeared him to the people.
 He is beginning to show the great strain he has been under the past two weeks, and it is understood that he will remain here only one more week.

During the first fifteen minutes OF
dinner the other evening Mrs. Bowser
was wondering TO herself why Mr..
Bowser's face carried such a self i'm
portant look and why he seemed to
consider himself the whole show. Then
she came to the conclusion that some
thing had happened during the day
aud that he would announce IL after
dinner whether or no. She was right
about this. When they had returned
10 the sitting room and he had parad-
ed up and down a few times with his
hands under his coat tail he announced:
Mrs. Bowser, | shall be out this
evening. | may not return before mid
night. You needn't sit NY for me-
Mrs. Green wanted us to come over
there this evening" she replied.

loose and wreck the house and silver

and put on his hat she asked:
