Seeking More Room.

A stock company has been organized at Helena with an authorized capital stock of s250,000. for the purpose of building practically another town to be known as West Helena. and connected with Helena, by an inter- urban electric line. For this purpose an option has been secured by the company on 2.200 acres of land one mile and a half west of the city, which will be improved by the grading of streets. putting down sidewalks, and the erection of light, watSr and power plants. and the construction of an adequate sewer system.

The lessees are expected to object to this arrangement. but the necessity of the situation demands that they be placed in the cotton patch, and in the bis corn field later on About 200 of the prisoners working at the rock erusher and at the brick yard of the Arkan- sas Brick and Manufacturing Com
 pany's plant. and about 90 employed on railroad work by Contractor w.

 Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce, Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well In a bottle and take in tcaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime.
 \ weil-known authority, when asked regarding this prescription, stated that the ingredients are all harmless. and can be obtained at small cost from any good prescription pharmacy. or the mixture would be put up if asked to dc so. He further stated that while this prescription is often pre- scribed in rheumatic aflietions with splendid results, he could see no req son why it would not be a splendid remedy for kidney and urinary trou- bles and backaehe, as it has a peculiar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most important or gans and helping them to sft and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sick ness and suffering.

Gold Discovered In Arkansas.

Gold, believed to be in paying quan- titles has been discovered in Mont gomery county, about a mile and a half northeast of Womble Messrs Blair and Thompson made the discoy- cry on their farm J. J. Thompson was formerly miner, having worked in the pit in this and several other states. Finding what he believed from indications to be gold bearing rock, he traced the leal to a bluff on the farm. Then he blasted off a num- Der of specimens and sent them to nrm of assayers in Los Angeles, in whom he had perfect confidence. Blair and Thompson recentlyTeceived the result of the assay which showed that the rock tested carried gold in the proportion of $f1.SS to the ton, with traces of silver. The rock is dark colored, streaked with layers of quartz. shaft has been sunk to the depth of 1o feet and the owners say that the ore shows greater richness. as the depth increases. They have sent specimens of this deeper ore rock to be assayed and are now awaiting a report on il. NIT. Thompson claims to be sufficiently familiar with gold
 bearing rock to reconize it when he sees it, which facts led to the dis coyery. He believes Montgomery county contains gold, silver. lead and zine in paying quantities and that all that is needed Is capital for the de volepment of her mineral resources.
