Delirium in Railroad DenuneiatiOn.

We shall reflect that railroads are related to our prosperity, and that to attack them needlessly is to attack ourselves. It is not the stock of soul- less millionaires, but the property of citizens, of widows and orphans, whose savings are invested in the railroads, that is being damaged. We shall recall what railroads have been and are still to be in the development of our country, and this craze will pass. Of course, there must be some form of governmental supervision, but it should be planned in a quiet hour, not in one of angry excitement. Popular emotions follow peculiar laws. The psychology of craze is most in- teresting. The temptation is we'll nigh irresistible to do what we ob- serve our neighbors do. If they begin to throw stones, we begin to hunt for missiles ourselves. Every mans hand is against them. Wherever railroad head is to be seen it is safe and anus ing to hit it; it's owner has no friends. -Ex-President Grover Cleveland in Leslie's Weekly.

Huds0n-GOddard.

Her legion of admiring friends in this city were greatly and pleasantly surprised the first ofthe week to learn that Mrs. Pauline Goddard. formerly the gracious and lovely hostess of the Hotel Marion in this city, had thrown oil the yoke of single blessedness and taken unto herself husband.
 Mrs. Goddard was married in Mem phis on Saturday, April 13, 1907, to MT. J. W. Hudson. fomerly of Osceola, where he was engaged in theoccupation of cotton buyer for ". A. Short & Co.,, of Helena, but for the last several months has been located in the Bluff City.
 Mrs. Goddard had charge of the Beall Hotel at Osceola last year and only recently sold out her interests there. She had contemplated trip to Denver and the West to spend the summer, but Dan Cupid willed it otherwise, and shot an arrow straight into her heart, capturing her and putting an end to all plans.
 It is stated in an Osceola paper that the happy couple will probably make their home in Nebraska, but Arkan- sas holds a very warm spot in the "Duchess heart, and we cannot but think that after all, perhaps, she will return to Forrest City to re- side permanently. At least the wish Is father to the thought, as everything she holds dear to her heart is in this grand old state.
 She is sister of Messrs. George B. and Ike Mallory, and has innumerable other relatives and legion of friends in this city, everyone of whom will join us in the above wish. She is one of the smartest and loveliest little women in the state, and during the several years spent in Forrest City as proprietor of the Marion she not only built up reputation of which any lone woman might we'll be proud, but in financial sense, made a fine suc- cess of her business.
 We count ourselves fortunate in having her lovely friendship, and in return therefor we wish to join in all of the good wishes and hearty con- gratulations that have been showered upon her. If ever woman deserved happiness 1t is Mrs. Hudson, and it is our sincere wish that her cup of joy may be filled to the brim.

Frank Chew Accidentally Shot.

A special from Helena to the Ark ansas Gazette, dated April 9, states that "Mr. Frank Chew, a well-known farmer, living 12 miles west of this city, near Barton, was dangerously wounded by the accidental discharge of a pistol he was cleaning last night. The ball entered his right breast and lodged in his shoulder. Drs. Russ wurm and Rightor of this city ex- tracted the bullet, and the patient may live"
 This is MT. Frank Chew, formerly of this city, where he has several rela- tives and many friends, all of whom are sorry to learn of his accident. We are informed by Capt. Merwin that the wound is not necessarily danger ous, but that it may cause paralysis of the right arm. He is getting along as well as can be expected under the circumstances and we hope no serious consequences will result.

Every Man His own Doctor.

The average man cannot afford to
employ physician for every slight all
ment or injury that may occur in his
family, nor can he afford to neglect them,
as so slight an injury as the scratch OF a
pin has been known to cause the loss OF
limb. Hence every man from necessity
must be his own doctor for this class Of
ailments. Success often depends on
prompt treatment, which can only be
had when suitable medicines are kept
at hand. Chamberlain Remedies

and enjoy good reputation.
