No Practical Grammar.

In the Memphis Commercial Ap- 1 peal some time since some writer ex- pressed the opinion that the youth of
 the country are kept continually at school scarcely become acquainted
 with their parents, ere they are grown
 up, and have no practical education, and remarked that something was
 wrong. think so too, and most ve- hemently so. So thought Noah Web ster, especially on grammar, thus: I
 trust that time will produce a better one. l myself think the time is still in the future, if it ever comes. In fact we have no philosophical and practical grammar, and l think it very wrong to require children to recite, and ex- pect them to understand, what neither teachers nor authors comprehend or can explain. Nothing strange that the Commercial Appeal writer said that something was wrong.n In fact pupils prosecute grammar for years to little practical purpose, as grammar pupils rarely speak or write more cor rectly than others untaught. Life is too important, and labor and money are too precious to be thus invested or rather wasted.
 To corroborate my views I'll quote what the North American Review said, viz; "Our schools suffer no i'm position so egregious as in the cum brous grammatical text books in con- mon use. They serve no earthly pur- pose except to overtax the verbal memory and to obscure the mental perception of the pupil
 If our grammars are cumbrous, let us disencumber them. If they over task the verbal memory, let the memory be relieved of this task. If they obscure the mental perception of the pupil, rather enlighten the same. If they are impositions, why not ex- pose them. Is an old error better than new truth? Shall we roll sin under our tongue as sweet morsel? Surely it is sin to teach what We know to be error. May it not be as service able to correct an old error as to teach new truth?
 I'll desist for the present for want of time. GEO. l.. JACKSON.

A Card.

To my friends, patrons, and the pub lie generally;
 l desire by this method to deny the rumor that l am about to remove from this city. My relations in For rest City are too pleasant to entertain such athought, and also desire to ex- tend my thanks to my patrons for their very liberal patronage the past year, and ask for COL Inuance of the same. The rumor that l am about to remove, originated in the fact that l am about to engage in business in continued just the same as heretofore
 Respectfully,
 A. l. VACCARO.

New Life.

The late convention of the South ern Cotton Association at Birming- ham seems to have added new fea- lures, and renewed life to the ranks of the Association. Governor Conner, of Alabama, scored the big New York cotton exchange, and said he would appear in court if necessary and state that he could only get five per cent of the grade of cotton that he bought from the exchange.
 Joseph II. Hoadley, president Of the Alabama Consolidated Coal X Iron Co.,, and resident of New York in speech to the convention said:
 You have heard the New York Cotton Exchange branded as gang of thieves, but 1 want to tell you that among the members of that exchange are some of the grandest men in the world. l want to tell you that Haryie Jordan's attack on the exchange is one of the brayest acts in American history. While l have never been on the floor of the exchange l know that its members form nothing short of a great gambling scheme, and for that reason l am willing to spend my for tune in helping President Jordan win his fight.
 Leo NJ. Andrews, of Pine Bluff, a prominent planter of Jefferson county who attended the convention, in an interview in the Graphic, said:
 Any man interested in cotton who could attend a convention of that kind, listen to the speeches, and the measures proposed for relief, would be blind to his own interests If he failed to join the Southern Cotton Association and give it his hearty moral support.
 The Pine Bluff Board of Trade re- gently passed resolutions advising the merchants to aid the Association in collecting the , cents per bale, reve- nue for the Association.

The Country Press.

The following is from a Missouri farmers address before farmers in- stitute: As rule the farmers know no iirmer friend than the country press. The home paper is distinctly the farmers own paper, supported di- rectly or indirectly by the farmers who compose the backbone of the printers subscription list, and largely for what the merchant advertises. Now brothers. let us not forget our friends. Let us see that our subscrip- tion is paid before the first of January, and year in advance if we can afford it. The man or paper who fights my battles can have my support.
 Another thing, the merchants who advertise are the ones who make it possible for us to get a good local paper, and the men or firms who are too penurious to advertise and help support the local press, have no right to the farmers patronage.
 "I propose hereafter to go to good live local advertiser and man who will do his share in supporting the local press, thus contributing to my support, rather than buy of the man who proposes to take all and give nothing in return"

Neighbors Got Fooled.

"l was literally coughing myself to death, and had become too weak to leave my bed, and neighbors predicted that l would never leave it alive, but they got fooled, for thanks be to God, l was induced to try Dr. Kings New Discovery. It took just four one dollar bottles to completely cure the cough and restore me to good sound health,o writes Mrs. Eva Uncapher, of Grovertown, Stark county, In diana.

Things Catalogues do Not Contain

When the catalogue comes from your mail order house, draw an easy chair up to the table, where the light will shine full upon the page, and put on your glasses that no bargains may escape your eye.
 What a wonderful book it is to be sure-more wonderful for what it does not contain than for what it does contain.
 We miss things which we would be glad to see.
 Where is there an offer to pay cash or exchange goods for your cotton, corn, beans, butter, eggs and hay? How much do they pay for cattle, , sheep and hogs at your depot? How much tax will they pay to SUD- port your schools and educate your children, for improving roads and bridges, support of the poor of the county, for the expense of running the business of township, county and state?
 What line of credit will they extend to you when your crops are poor, and money gone, when through illness and misfortune you are not able to send leash witL order' for your groceries, clything, farm tools and crockery? Win they give anything for social, church, school or government support or do they take your dollars out of the community with no returns ex- cept the goods you buy?
 Do they part with any cash to help build your rural telephone line, or to help grade and gravel your road2
 Do they ever part with any cash for you for anything?
 And, as matter of fact, don't they charge you more for the same grade of goods than your dealer?
 The gospel truth is, and 1t can easily be proven, the home dealers charge you less than the mail catalogue price and pay the freight for you besides.- Selected.

Cash for Coal.

We desire to extend our customers and friends our sincere thanks for the very liberal patronage accorded us during the year just closed. Our books show a very gratifying increase in our business in all departments, and we appreciate the patronage of each and every customer, be it large or small. Our coal business has assumed such large proportions that little change in our methods is found to be ne cessary, and we hereby give notice that on and after February l, 1907, all coal must be paid for when delivered. This rule is absolutely necessary.
 We pride ourselves on handling the best grade of coal for the money that comes to this market, and we are in a position to give better coal and better satisfaction than other dealers, by being able to use our screenings to an advantage. We will continue toscreen all coal and send out no slack. We hope this new departure will be found entirely satisfactory, and on a cash basis we solicit q continuance of your patronage when you need fuel.
 Again thanking you for past favors. and soliciting your future trade.
 Yours etc,

Sloniker Mill Times.

After so long a time winter has made its appearance, which a few of our neighbors were glad to see, es- peclally those who had butchered in the last few days. But how about we poor fellows who had nothing to butcher? Let us all go over to our neighbor, NIT. Harrison Robertson's s some Sunday and sample that 445 pound hog that he fattened on Win born's Stock Food.
 MT. Jacob Miller happened to a se- rious accident last Monday evening. He had just finished making a large, heavy sled on which to move house from his old home place to where he now lives, and had started up to the home place to load it on the sled, but the team was very fraetious, and pulled the sled on top of him, wedg- ing him up against gate post, crush Ing one ankle seriously and bruising the other one quite badly. He was carried to the house and is getting along very nicely. MT. Warren Harris moved the house for MT. Miller on Tuesday It required six mules and other help. Several of the neighbors women and children-came over to see the street parade.
 Elder J. c. Nininger and wife re- turned home last Tuesday from their long extended visit with friends and relatives at Coyle, Oklahoma.

On X Cash Basis.

To my many patrons and friends of
 Forrest City
 In extending you hearty New Year greeting, and sincerely thanking you for your liberal patronage, l wish to extend to all cordial invitation to visit me in my new quarters on South Front Street, next door west of llatcher's livery stable, where l will continue business, and will try at all times to serve you with the very best meats, etc, that the market affords.
 In making this move, did what l thought was for the best interest of the general public as well as myself, and have established the following rules, under which l intend conduct ing my business in the future. On and after February lst. 1907, my busi- ness will be conducted on an exclusive | y cash basis, and in order that all of my patrons may share in the benefits of this rule, propose 10 sell $l0 mer- chandise books for S900: $5.00 books for $4.60, and $2.00 books for $l 20. Lower than that there will be no dis count.
 l hope this will meet the approval of all my patrons, for it is positively the only way l will continue business. We are in way handicapped in this branch of our business from the fact | that we carry accounts through the summer season when the expenses of our business are such that we can hardly meet them. When fall and winter, which is practically the only l profitable season in this section of the country, arrives, we are again handicapped by having so many new competitors, in the way of peddlers. 1 want to especially thank the hotel and restaurant trade for their prompt settlement for each days business, and will be glad to continue to serve them under the same rule.
 Again thanking one and all for past fayors, and hoping to merit your patronage in the future, l am,
 Gratefully yours,
 L. R. GROBMYER.

Neglected Colds Threaten Life.

From The Chicago Tribune.l
 Don't trifle with cold, is good advice for prudent men and women. It may be vital in the case of a child Proper food, good ventilation, and dry. warm clothing are the proper safeguards against colds. If they are maintained through the changeable weather of autumn, winter and spring, the chances of surprise from ordinary colds will be slight. But the ordinary light cold will become severe if neglected, and a well established ripe cold is to the germs of diphthe- ria what honey is to the bee. The greatest menace to child life at this season of the year is the neglected cold" Whether it is a child or adult, the cold slight or severe, the very best treatment that can be adopted is to give Chamberlain's Cough Reme- dy. It is safe and sure. The great popularity and immense sale of this preparation has been attained by it's remarkable cures of this ailment. A cold never results in pneumonia when it is given. For sale by J. T. Sanders.
