UNKNOWN BODY FOUND.
Bill Green Finds Ghastly Trunk Oi What is Thought to be Remains
 of Young White Woman.

Coroner F. P. Todd was notified of a ghastly find on St. Francis river, and went to the scene Wednesday and held an inquest.
 Bill Green, negro, being duly sworn, testified before the coroners jury, that he went fishing from the banks of the St. Francis river, near the Hendricks place in Griggs town ship on August 8, and found an un- known body; that he was in company with Glenn Boothe and John Watson, and that he notified Ed Bird. No other evidence was adduced.
 The inquest was held Wednesday The head of the body was missing, and the body was badly decomposed, and had been eaten by fish, birds or small animals. The jury found noth- ing on the body to indicate who it could be or where from. The remains seemed to be those of a young, or at least small white woman.

THE NEW CLUB HOUSE.
\ $500 Building to be Erected on Old River by Citizens of Ten
 nessee and Arkansas.

A party of gentlemen from Jackson Tennessee, who have recently pur chased a tract of land on Old River ir partnership with several citizens of this county, mention of which was made in these columns, came over last week to take look at the lanC and confer with their friends and partners here about building a first class club house on their newly ac quired fishing grounds.
 The party was composed of Col. F. $. Fisher, president of the Jack son Banking Company; Hon. c. c. Bond, attorney for the Mobile & Ohio and the Illinois Central Railroad Companies, and representative of John D. Rockefeller and the Standard Oil Company; MT. Allen Campbell, manager of southern terri. tory for Keith Bros, wholesale matters Of Chicago; MT. F. c. McGriffe, who represents the Hamilton Brown Shoe Company, in the State of Alabama, and MT. R. l. Chester, claim agent of the Mobile X Ohio Railway Company.
 They were met here by Messrs. J. o. Bridgforth, James L. and Peyton T. Scott, and all went down to Old River on Wednesday of last week, where they remained for couple of days, returning Friday.
 During their visit they had very enjoyable and very successful fish ing experience, something over two hundred fine specimens of crappie, bass and trout being the record of their catch.
 They were highly pleased with the location selected by their local friends for the club house and will build the same at once, that is to say. as soon as the lumber and material can be se- cured and put on the ground. The plans for the club house have already been drawn, and when finished it is said, will be the most conveniently arranged and incest club house in Arkansas, and will cost about $500.
 A set of Rules and Regulations will be formulated and adopted for the government of ali persons who visit this resort, and will limit the number of fish to be caught by each person, and otherwise govern them, so as to protect the fish from useless waste, and otherwise make it source of pleasure to all
 We understand this is to be pub lie resort, with certain restrictions which may be necessary, and we well come these gentlemen and hope their relations with the citizens of this county will be most pleasant.

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scien- lists are unanimous in the conclusion that the generally accepted limitation or human life is many years below the attainment possible with the advanc- ed knowledge of which the race is now possessed. The critical period that determines it's duration seems to be between 50 and SO; the proper care of the body during this decade cannot be too strongly urged; carelessness then being fatal to longevity. Nature s best remedy after 50 is Electric Bit ters, the scientific tonic medicine that revitalizes every organ of the body. Guaranteed by all druggists. soc.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness. and that is by con- stitntioual remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm perfect hearing, and when il is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless tue intiam nation can be taken out and the tube restored to it's normal condition. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an intiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness caused by catarrhl that can not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.
