A Worthy Flower.

Have any of you tried Larkspurs
in Florida? They are very pleasing
flowers. The annual varieties are
worth cultivating, but the perennial
kinds are still more valuable A cor
respondent of the Rural New Yorker
says:
There are but few flowers in bloom
as long as the Delphinium Qarkspur);
they commence to bloom early in
June, and are in flower most of the
time up to October Fl. There were
still many spikes of buds that would
bloom for some time to come; Oct.
Fl [ cut a fine bunch for the cemetery,
which shows how hardy they are,
as on the morning of October II the
mercury was down to 20, and at mid
night following it was down to rs,
though it was up to 81 at daylight
next morning No other hardy flower
| grow is in bloom, all being killed
by the hard freeze They require but
little care if planted in fairly good
soil, and stand a drought much bet
ter than hardy Phlox They seem to
thrive in partial shade, though [ prefer
full sunshine for them. AS flower for
table or house decoration l know of
no other of their color that is their
equal, from the lightest shades of blue
to dark indigo, double, semidouble and
single, spikes from one foot to IL
feet in length. Plants from seeds
sown early in February will bloom
some that season, though it is my
opinion the plant will be much larger
and better able to stand it's first winter
if all blooms are pinched off. I much
them lightly with leaves in Deem
Der, or when they are frozen back
to the ground. This season after I
had given many spikes away and used
many myself, I shipped two small
crates of my best spikes to commits
sion florist over 100 miles away, and
they Melted me $3.50 per crate. I
followed a week later with like
amount, and they did equally as we'll.
They hardly occupy square rod of
ground In the spring I shall divide
the strongest clumps and set new
plants, and increase my paintings of
this valuable flower which seems to
have no disease or insect pests, and
furnish such beautiful flowers so late
in the season. No other flowers, home
grown or grown under glass, were
seen in this large cemetery, and the
bouquet of this flower I had taken
there a week ago today was in fair
condition after a week of sunshine and
dry windy weather.

Magnolia Soulangeana as a Tree.

All of the Magnolias are desirable
ornamental trees or shrubs. They
are all hardy in this state and there
fore should be more generally planted
than they are. Mr.. Meehan writes, to

Another Pointer.

Are We going backward To the GUS tom Of past days IL seems 50.
 Lately one sees on the streets of Forrest City pigs, goats, horses, COWS and many other unsightly things. For instance you find the walks very dilapidated where they are yet of plank. Also in the residence portion of the town are wagons and broken down vehicles. Hill street seems to ] be especially unfortunate. Where the walk on that street is of plank much of il is torn up: in such q condition has been all the winter-that one must go stumbling. Further, on this same street, wagons stand constantly
 sometimes almost blocking up tle street. Unfortunately many ef IS have an idea that f thing is8ar.s We may do as we please Wlth 1t. mak- ing no difference how much q neigh Dor is annoyed. or even the entire community.

Widener Tunes.

The farmers in this section of the county are getting in earnest about farming, and most of them are busy preparing to plant an early crop. The weather has been favorable, but from al indications now, we are going to have some more rain soon. Dr. Terrell has turned out to ts 4 farmer. He has rented a few acres Of land here and no doubt he vii block the market with long staple cotton. He is cultiyating his land with an old white mule that he claims to Lave ridden the first time he went 10 see his wife, and that he is preserving | her for family relic. She looks like relic and sure must preserve fond remembrances of halcyon days or the doctor would not expose her to the eyes of the public.
 Mrs. NJ. A. Dyer is still sick. and and was compelled to close her board ing house on account of her health failing. She left Wednesday for For rest City, where she will remain for few days and take treatment under DF. Alley.
 Miss Annie Terrell returned Sunday night from Palestine. where she has been visiting friends and relatives for several days.
 Sqire John ". Hall has resigned his office as magistrate of Griggs town ship. He was elected just a short time after he became twenty-one years old, and has served about eight consecutive years. He says he cannot do justice 10 the office and work the road. We hope he will make as good a road oyerseer as he has a squire.
 NIT. 0. J. Hall, Jr., paid US pleas ant visit last Saturday for the first time in three months.
 NIT. Ira Stewart, of Forrest City, is visiting relatives here and is wasting smiles on certain little red headed girl.
 Mr. Eerdy Wells has been noticed, here of late, giving all occasional smile to a certain little red-headed girl. and We hope his smiles will have the desired effect
 Brother Johnson held afternoon services here Sunday and had the largest and best looking congregation that Widener has seen in a long time, it being composed of all the Madison girls and Widener stwo beauties, Miss Kendrick and the boy agents wife. We extend cordial invitation to the Madison girls to come again.

Hundreds ofirnitation brands are on sale that look ike Schnapps to- bacco. The outside of the imitation plugs of tobacco Is fde cured the same as Schnapps, but the inside is filled with cheap, aimsy, heavily sweetened air cured tobacco. One chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger longer than two chews of such to- bacco. The color, size and shape of the tags, plugs and packages of certain imitation brands of tobacco have been made so much like Schnapps that they have often been accepted by buyers under the belief that they were getting Schnapps. Sufficient proof has been secured to establish the fact that certain brands are infringements and in vio- lation ofthe trade mark laws, yet the trade will continue to be imposed upon by these infringers until the suit already entered and now pending to protect Schnapps is decided. A great many of these limitations are

"GOAIUSA'

One of the Arabian stations to be exhibited at
the Central Maine Fair at Waterville by the Daven-
port Desert Arabian Stud has picturesque his
tory. His name indicates the tribe from which he
comes. The Gomusa is a sub-tribe of the Seba Ane-
"a and are the greatest horse breeders of all in the
Arabian Desert. They a wild tribe and the Wo-
men of that tribe have their lips tattooed blue This
year old bay colt has the left forefoot white which
particular mark the bedOWens think is special
mark OF Ali (Cod). The horse also has white in
the face that takes in nostr the white extend
ing to the under lip, where in esteem of the mark OF
God-the left white forefoOt,-the tattooer blued
his under lip. Gomusa was 3 years old on the
27th Of June last and stands l6-I inch tall which
is remarkable for an Arabian He thought so
much Of by The Gomusa tribe that their Shiek gave
him to ffickmet Bcy the son OF Nazem Pasha the
governor of Aleppo.
The Bey chose him as his present to Homer
Davenport when he was ready to leave the desert
In the desert BedoWens came miles to see him be
fore he was led away Strange to the character OF
his wild tribe this horse is shy and wild OF any but
the Bedowen in his robes. Gomusa a specimen
of horse flesh is one Of the finest objects a horse
man ever looked ON especially racing type. He is
of the family called Manaka Sebele which are the
fleet and powerful in This horse has the short
est back ever seen and the most remarkable Shout
der and hip When he was brought to Aeppo for
the Governors son he had never mud
house let alone Rock City. But he would follow
BedoWen, thus when he was brought to Escande
room for shipment to America with the rest OF
Davenport's horses ON the 28thofAugust they were
some time solving the problem Of getting him into
his box a crude wood and iron trap Finally the Be
dowen boy took his halter rope and went ahead into
the box and with step as graceful deer Go
musa followed The great Akmut Haffez said of
him when he saw him in Aeppo Syria that he
would bring thousand pounds French in Bagdad
for a Pasha to ride. Bedowens knelt as they passed
in front Of him i'll respect OF his left white forefoot
and the tattooed lip.
Mr. James A. Lawrence the shreWd manager Of
the Hartman Stock Farm in Ohio said it worth
a trip from Ohio to see him though he wouldn't
let him pet him. 1t seems like miracle to see this
representative of the widest tribe of warriors in
the world here in America. But when you him
you are aware OF one thing certain that the Gomusa
tribe they have been represented, the great
est horse breeders in the world as here is a horse
that will be 1872 the most perfectly built specimen
you could ever see, that has been produced from a
people that keep their horses hobbled all of their
lives by the front and hind feet. They never al
lowed to run loose as other colts do. They are fed
day on the poorest horse feed known, wa
tered once in "a hours taken out of the burn
ing that beats down at the rate of IS degrees
in the shade, still with all this the most beautiful
specimen of horsefesh one could ever behold.
