Smallpox in Hopkins County.

DR.. ]. ; Mccormick, secretary cf
the State Board of Health, authorizes
the following statemnt;
Smallpox has existed in Hopkins
county for several weeks. They have
no isolation hospital and the disease
has spread until it is reported to-day
that there are about 20 cases in Mad
isonville and Others in many of the
mining towns out in the country.
Negroes are the ones chiefly af-
fected and their usual practice of
cJncealing the cases has contributed
to its spread until the conditions have
become so serious that adjoining
counties are insisting that thet State
board of health take active steps for
their protection. 1t may be that the

of the county are SO large thlt the
beard hesitates to consider such a
harsh measure. However, it is just
the beginning of winter and it is reg
cgnized as unfair that negligence in
one county should be permitted to en-
danger the entire State, and the board

GET RICH QUICK.

Schemes of this class have again
come to grief along with the gullible
investors, causing serious loss ia
innocent business concerns, as IS
always the case of panics in Wall St.
While this last lesson is yet fresh
in mind, it is an opportune moment
to consider causes and means to
avoid like trouble in the future.
Direct your attention to that
greatest of all Newspapers the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. From its columns
one can readily detect the trend of

final results.
Again you read quotations of
Bonds, Stocks, and Securities of
every nature, fixing Status of all
business from the retailer, to United
States Government.
Also Current News, facts and re-
liable data covering the entire world;
all sufficiently explicit to enable
thinking people to avoid snags arc

the Enquirer printed at Cincinnati,
Ohio, is one of the most reliable
sources of information.

Paducah, KY, Dec. 2.-When Mrs,
Ira Mathis, of SIS North Sixth street,
with her baby in her arms, answered
the front door bell this morning, her
caller was startled by the exclamation
"Oh, my baby is dead" An examina-

hours. She had taken it up from the
bed when she finished her morning s
work and had not noticed that ii

Several years ago was attacked by
a severe case Of grippe, which left me
with hacking cough, soreness in my
chest, and bronchitis. took nearly
every kind of cough syrup sold on the
market, besides medicine given me by
physicians.
l received no permanent relief until
my druggist asked me to try Vinol,
and after taking three bottles l was
entirely cured.
1 believe Vinol to be the greatest
blessing ever offered to the public, as
It does what Is claimed for it." R. e r.
Hicks, Maplesville, Ala.
The reason Vinol cures chronic
coughs, colds and pulmonary troubles
is because 1t contains tonic iron and
all the healing and body building ele-
ments of cod liver oil but no oil.
vinol is also unextelled as strength
builder for old people, delicate children,
weak and rundown persons. and after

HAS APPOINTED COMMISSION

Meet in Washington on
Date to be Set.

Good morning, Mr.. Farmer, How
do you do?
Are you we'll and prosperous?
SIS your family receiving all Of
the good things of life taht are
justly coming to them? If not, why
not?"
The questioner in this little dia-
logue is Theodore Roosevelt, retir-
ing President of the United States.
The person addressed is the sturdy
American tiller of the soil and bull
wark of the nations prosperity. The
scene of the conversation is in the
capital city of this great country, in
which city Mr.. Roosevelts newly
and specially appointed Country Life
Commission will soon meet. 1t is
composed OF chosen delegates and
called for the purpose of investigat-
ing every form of rural life. Mr..
Roosevelt, before he quits office on
the fourth of March next, to give
way to the newly elected magistrate,
proposes to do whnt he can in ar
officially benevolent way to assist TIE
farmers of this country onward and
upward --..-.--..
The President wants to ascertain
if they have good, substantial and
comfortable houses to live in; if the
children when they start out to
school of mornings are sufficiently
provided with the necessary things
to facilitate their serviceable accep-
lance of the institutions Of learning
placed before them, that they may
make useful men and citizens, wives
and mothers.
He wants to know If they realizs
as much fer their produce as THEY
should, and if farm labor is sufficient
to make bountiful crops on their
lands. He even goes further and in
quires about the happiness and DON
tent of the hired hand" do you
treat him with the consideration and
courtesy that you shlculd?'
In short, Mr.. Roosevelt in his list
of queries to the farmer has asked
something about almost every phase
of life on the farm, from how many
chickens in the barnyard to how
much money in the bank. All the
questions will be thoroughly thresh-
ed out by the Country Life Commits
sion when it gathers for business
Changes. improvements and general
suggestions will be Offered by Tint
body of representative farmers to
their farmer friends at home.
What Mr.. Roosevelt wishes to know
in an epitonlized form is:
l. Have you a good warm house
Have your neighbors the same?
2. When your boys and girls start
down the road to school these morn
ings, are you sure they are being ed
ucated so that they will be satisfied
with farm life?
3. Do you and your neighbors get
as much fer produce as you are en-
titled to?
4. How do the railroad men and
the trolly line men treat you?
5. Is your telephone service all
right? Have you any kick on the
mail man?
6. Does your wife or You chip in
with the neighbors on buying and
selling deals?
z. What about that fellow in your

FOR STATE HIGHW AVS.

The Fort Smith News Record is an
earnest advocate of goods roads, and
it is at present urging the establish
ment OF two State highways across Ar
kansas. On this subject it says:
Zone of the most important matters
which should be considered by the
next legislature of Arkansas is the
building of State roads. This State is
away to the rear in the building Of
good roads, and while there are few
that are passable it is a fact that in
four-tifths of the counties it is impos-
sible to find 4 good l1bad
ARKANSAS has shamefully neglected
the question of creating highways
that can be travelled at any and al
times throughout the year. Fort
Smith is fortunate in having had a
good-road building county Judge, an9
as consequence Sebastian county is
ahead OF any other county in the State
in the possession of good roads.
There should be two State high
ways running across Arkansas which
can always be travelled, and which
are maintained by the State Then
the various counties should be requir-
ed to build good roads in each county,
and in this way maintain hrstclass
roads throughout abe State.
Farmers should realize MAJ any tax
which they pay Tor The building OF
good roads is simply a contribution
which increases the value of their
farms. The farmer who has not per
formed his part in the building and
maintaining of good roads has sim
ply robbed himself of a property val
ne which would have come to him
with the establishment of good roads.
Goods roads and good sidewalks
should be regarded as a personal
property right which enters into the
value OF land. In making sale il
cannot De separated from the prop
erty Itself, and at the same time IN
improved roads seriously injure the
value of property.
Every candidate seeking election
to the legislature should be pledged
to the good roads movement, and with
a united legislature We can secure &C
ton which will insure good roads
throughout Arkansas"
