CASE OF ECZEMA IN SOUTH.
Suffered Three Years-Hands and Eye Most Affected-NoW We'll and Is
 Grateful to Cuticura.

My wife was taken badly with ecze- ma for three years, and she employed doctor with no effect at all until she employed Cuticura Soap and Ointment. One Of her hands and her left eye were badly affected, and when she would stop using Cuticura Soap and Ointment the eczema came back, but very slightly, but it did her a sight of good. Then we used the entire set of Cuticura Remedies and my wife is en- t1rely recovered. She thanks Cuticura very much and will recommend it highly in our locality and in every nook and corner of our parish. I. M. Robert, Hydropolis, La, Jan. 5 and Sept. 1, 1906."

Big Loss In Cotton.

According to a summary compiled by Commissioner Tucker from the county crop reports that were recent ly published there will be a big loss in the cotton crop for 1907 over last year. The decrease will amount to nearly 30 per cent, the figures for the present year being 70.1 per cent of 1906. Arkansas last year pro- duced 941, ,000 bales, estimated. The approximate output this year will be 659,641 bales. To make the latter total conditions from now until the staple is picked must be normal, the weather must be favorable for good develop ment, and no further insect damage or the early visitation of a heavy frost. A cold spring, a reduction of the acreage and other evils, such as boil weevil and heavy rains, are respon- sible for the poor showing of the Arkansas crop. Other states have nearly all suffered the same troubles, and the cotton crop as a whole in the Southern States will be materially less than last year.

Making Out Pension Warrants.

Three clerks are busy at the state auditors office filling in the names of Confederate pensioners, who will prob ably receive their warrants about the middle of the month. It is not believed that the disbursement of the fund will be held up by Auditor Moore, in view of the recent construction that Acting Governor Pindall has placed on the matter and his promise to the state officials to remove all penalties which they may incur if the fund is expended Between eight and nine thousand warrants are to be filled in with names, amounts and the work entails considerable labor. One extra clerk is aiding the regular staff of the auditors office.

Fortune in Copper.

Mr.. and Mrs. Grant Chase, who have
been visiting at c. H. Merry's, leave
Monday for their home in Seattle, going
a month later to their Alaska home at

for three years his wife hunted with
him, enduring all manner of hardship
and not seeing a white woman for a
year at a time. They had their own
schooner and went and came at will,
living a free and delightful, though at
times, a dangerous life. MI. and Ms
Chase found hunting very remunerative
and had a curio and fur store at Valdez.
Three years ago, while pr%ospectingI
they found rich deposits of copper on
Knights Island, Prince William sound.
Mr.. Chase and his partner located 22
claims on tide water and all make a
very good showing. A stock company
has been formed to developthese mines.
which include: 10 other claims and
100000 worth. of machinery. etc, has
been shipped to the island since Janu
airy last.
The 6rst stock was sold atg5oc; and in

Mr.. Chase has done exceedingly we'll
and expects to do even better. In the
fall he and his wife will return to. Dick
inson for his mother, who will spend the
coming winter with them in Seattle.
