Want to Buy stuart Springs.

Certain farseeing and enterprising citizens are agitating the proposition to buy the Stuart Springs by popular subscription, and donating the property to the city in trust for public park.
 There is no question about the fact that this lovely spot should be pre- served for this purpose. In fact we consider that it will be almost a calamity if the property should be cleared and put into cultivation, or otherwise made unfit or undesirable for park purposes. It is naturally and by long odds the most beautiful and picturesque place in the vicinity, and is so pleasantly and conveniently located that the women and children of Forrest City may walk or drive out and enjoy it's healthful waters. cool ing shade and refreshing environ ments at their pleasure.
 Such a place is more valuable in every way to Forrest City than it is generally considered, for the simple reason that it is not considered. If one will think long and seriously of it, one may readily understand why it would almost be calamity to con- mercialize it.
 If purchased now, it can be had, so we are informed, for 5000. Only a few years ago it could have been had for s400 or $500. It will continue to rise in value, and it will be but few years perhaps until it will be put to other uses, or fall into the hands of

Pat F0lbre In The Head Lines.

His scores of well wishing friends, many of whom see in him the qualities and stuff of whigh stars are made, were pleased to enthusiasm last Mon- day to read in the dispatches Of the great eleven-inning slab duel which was pulled of at Hot Springs Sunday between George Suggs the premier pitcher of the near champions of the Southern League. and Pat Folbre, the Forrest City southpaw wonder, who was oil the firing line for the Hot Springs team, and Pats name was upon the lips of every base ball fan in town. The dispatch said:
 Aided and abetted by Baxter of Montgomery and Benson of Shreye- port, the locals held Babb's hustlers to an eleyen-inning tie this afternoon, incidentally exhibiting an evenly divided slab duel between George Suggs, the premier of the near champ ions, and Pat Folbre, Forrest City aspirant for honors in the fast con- pany. When darkness fell and Um- pire Alexander called the proceedings to halt, both Suggs and E'olbre were going better than at the beginning But nine men faced Folbre in the last three innings, and although George Suggs permitted two hits dur ing like period of the game. they were fortunate ones and never figured in the contest further than the initial bag. Nick" Carter's sleuth tactics in the eighth robbed the locals of verdict"
 The summary also stated that Pat tied his opponent on hits, each allow ing five, but Suggs allowed one man to Halk and Pat allowed none. Hur- rah for Pat,
 On Wednesday our Pat distinguish ed himself again, and when the game was tie-3 to 3-he lined out three bagger, and scored Stark, which won the game. In the summary of this game Folbre is credited with single, two-bagger and triple, and stolen bases ?. That's playing ball, and going some. The dispatch says:
 "The teams will meet Friday after noon, skip Saturday and close the series Sunday. Folbre, the Forrest City boy who pitched the eleven inning tie against George Suggs last Sunday afternoon, begged to be pitted against the Memphis crack again and as soon as Babb sends Suggs to the warming up post Folbre will also be ready to be pitted against him.
 Pats friends are watching the papers for news of his doings, and are pleased to enthusiasm at his success.

 The city council should take the matter up, in our judgment, and certainly some means can be found by which it may be purchased and preserved. We would be pleased to hear from other citizens on the sub ject.

Cures Rheumatism.

Rheumatism is caused by an accu- mutation of oxalate of lime in crystals which damage the kidneys and bladder, as we'll as cause rheumatism. An ex- cess of uric acid also diseases the kid- neys, and often causes skin diseases. Dr. Nott's Melon-Seed Compound Kidney and Bladder Remedy neutra- lizes and removes these damaging ac- cumulations, and thus cures the above and all other kidney and bladder troubles. None other can compare with it. Druggists sell it at soc and sl per bottle.

Seed Selection.

station No. l in the highway of farm progress is good seed.
 Planting selected seed of the best variety and of the highest vitality is absolutely esSentiol to the produc- tion of the best crops.
 Buying the best seed, if the farmer does not have 1t, is commendable; but this must be followed by the best cultivation and the most careful selection to eliminate minor defects and improve the excelleneies of the type, or the seed will detoriate.
 The ideal plan for a farmer is to select small field of choice land re- mote from other fields cultivated in similar crops, plant the best seed obtainable and cultivate in the best way; from this select seed for plant ing the ensuing season; or, in case of no special seed field take the follow ing plan
 COTTON SEED. 1st. From your best field of cotton select the best portion, and in this choice division mark the most vigor- ous and productive plants, showing short joints and fruit limbs near the bottom. The entire plant should be an exceptional fruit producer Seed should be shlected from these marked cotton stalks, but the top bolls and the bolls on the ends of the limbs should not go into this lot of seed; they tend to make the cotton later. The balls selected for seed should be picked by special field hands, sent in advance of the regular pickers. This seed cotton must be stored in a dry place and watched to avoid mix ing.
 Special care must be taken at the gin, that the gin and floor are free from all other cotton seed before gin ming. Store this seed in a dry place.
 Where greater length of staple is desired, select for seed such bolls only as show the longest staple. By care ful selection most any desired quali- ties, or characteristics, can ultimately be secured.
 SEED CORN
 The above rules for cotton apply to corn.
 lst. Fix some standard qualities of corn and type of ear you prefer, then | Salapf f n Speura those
 Ii a white corn, with average ear it should be about eight inches long, with medium cob, long, deed and uni form kernels, which cove the ends of the cob well, husk adhering close to the corn at the tip. The kernels should show nitrogen content above the average In the above case the seed corn should be selected from a stalk that has two early matured ears, so as to promote a tenency.to produce two ears and an early ma turity.
 2nd. If the large ear type is pre- ferred, it is better to select the seed corn from stalks bearing one ear only, but of the desired type. In general characteristics it correspond tto case one, except with a large and longer ear.
 3rd. All barren or non-producing stalks should have been detasselled, and all ears blighted, or blasted by smut, should have been removed from the field where seed corn is to be SC lected. Avoid selecting seed ears near blighted ears, and it is best not to se- lect even good ears wnere most of the surrounding ears are nubbins.
 4th. Store in dry place. but never when wet or not thoroughly cured.

How to Cure :

II is amazing that so common

lie, and that its remedy should be so
hard Ia find. But IL can be cured.
and without any marvellous nostrums.
by observing few important rules
OF health. The dyspeptic must first
fix in his mind the fact that his all
ment is the result OF bad hab-
its or eating and living. and that
these must be changed: that
drugs will do him no good. He must
begin by avoiding all starchy foods.
as potatoes. rice. oatmeal. beans. etc.
Meats, soft-boiled eggs. milk. toast.
Zwieback, etc, are the best foods for
avoiding fermentation. and the gas
that causes dyspepsia pains. In
serious cases buttermilk is one OF the
best dependencies: another Is boiled
milk with a slight addition OF lime
water. Either Of these will enable
the most chronic dyspeptic TO vro-
cure some sustenance without serious
distress. He should drink freely OF
hot water, at least two quarts a day.
always taking n glass half an hour
before mealtime. He should not
crowd his meals close together. as
with an impaired digestion il is often
best TO have the meals six or seven
hours or more apart. The rule 60 be
followed is that new meal should
rot be eaten until the previous one
is digested, or out ot the way, and
the stomach has had n little rest.

eating.

persistence in the practice will put

There is a theory that when solid

tive action and send to the stomach

this is correct is for the science OF
