LIKE AN OLD LOVE SONG.
.The Sweetest Girl in Dixie," True American Play by a South.
 ern Woman.

Why is ''The Sweetest Girl in Dixie" such an object of interest to the theatre managers and theatre patrons? Why was this play sue cess last season when so many others failed? Why do managers ask for re- turn dates and offer the choicest time and most liberal terms? Because when all is said "the play is the thing.' Heart interest. hackneyed term, but 1t is the only one that can explain the popularity of this piece.
 Truly it possesses that one touch of nature that makes the whole world kin and with it's perfect blending of humor and pathos it is a fine example of realism in dramatic art.
 It has been likened to sweet yio- let blooming in bed of hollyhocks, a play with that quaint homely pathos that winds around your heart like the strains of an old love song.
 Public interest has not been aroused by any spectacular or sensational Exploits of the author, or by adyer- tising any of the accidental features by which various attractions have been given great vogue.
 It is encouraging to note that the success of this play has been made along legitimate lines, appealing to the better side of the theatre going public, which proves beyond doubt the merit of this piece, which was written by all American woman for American playgoers.
 This attraction is announced as the attraction at the Becker & Lewis opera house, Tuesday night, October 20, and it will undoubtedly be greeted by large and appreciatiye audience.

PURE FOOD SHOW
Something New in Forrest City. Big
 Crowds and Lots of Fun the Result.

MT. Vile, travelling instigator of To- cal .Pure Food" Exhibitions, came to town last week to put on show. He usually does not stop at towns of this size, but Forrest City so impressed him with enterprise and hustle, that he concluded to make halt here and try. He first secured the cooperation of the Ophelusian Circle, giving them liberal percentage: then he secured the Gatling Rink building as the best and most suitable place in town for the purpose, and soon succeeded in in- teresting a sufficient number of mer- chants to make it a certainty.
 The building was soon turned into fairy bower-booths were erected and beautifully decorated and the goods placed on exhibition.
 MT. O. N. Warren, of the City Drug Store, has magnificent exhibition; MT w. P. Evans, the High Price Gro cer, is exhibiting the best in his line, MT. J. C. Slaughter has clock, jewell " and silverware show; the Forrest City Bottling Works has one of the most attractive booths containing show of every kind of soft drink, and they are served on ice by the ladies of the Ophelousian Circle, who have the adjoining booth, where they sell home made candies, cakes, etc. Further along Mr. H. R. Nebett is showing a magnificent lot of groceries, and to the south of his booth the Never-Break Range Go. have on exhibition very fine range and utensils. Becker & Lewis have the largest space, and are exhibiting some of the most magniti cent pieces of furniture that has ever been seen in this city This exhibit is under the personal care of MT. Rrecher, an experienced furniture man, and he has an up-to-date exhibit. Then comes the Forrest City Grocer Co. with a fine line of pure foods, and the young lady gives you splendid cup of hot coffee. MT. Berry Russell,
  tractive exhibits in the house. and MT. D. C. Webb adjoins him with a beautiful line of shoes and other fin goods.
 Prizes are given away by each booth every night, and there are contests, music and other happy features, which make it pleasant and interesting. The show will continue until Tues day of next week, and the crowds are getting larger every night.
 The baby show yesterday was quite interesting, though there were only about dozen entries The prize was voted to the sweet little Miss Cargill, Mrs. Cargill also winning the dollar prize for the lady who first ate four crackers in five minutes, her record being three minutes. Everybody is entering into the spirit of the occa- sion, and the Pure Food Show is a SDcccSS

MAX YOFPIE ROBBED
Thieves Effect Entrance Through Rear Window of Store Which Had
 Been Left Uniastened.
NO CHEW TO THEIR IDENTITY
They Pick Out Best of Everything
 In Sight.

On Wednesday morning when the clerks came to the store to open up, they discovered the rear window of MT. Max Iotfie's general drygoods and furnishing store, down at the top, and ahurried investigation quickly inform ed them that robbers had been paying the store visit.
 Mir. Yoifie was notified at once, and when he came down and took men tai inventory of the store he found that the thief or thieves had evidently been very deliberate, taking only the best of such things as they wanted.
 They made their getaway alright and left no clue to their identity Mr. Yotlie will pay iberal reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the guilty party or 1 parties or the return of the goods
 The officers were notified at once and they are working on the cast quietly, but with very little hope of running the thief down

Your Friends and Neighbors In Forrest City Will
 Show You How.

Rubbing the back wont cure back ache.
 A liniment may relieve, but can't cure.
 Backache comes from the inside from the kidneys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills get inside
 They cure sick kidneys.
 Here is Forrest City proof that this is so:
 Mrs. Jennie Smith, living on Jack son St, Forrest City, Arkansas. says. "In return for the benefit 1 received from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. | am pleased to testify to their ef- iiciency. Prior to taking this remedy | suffered from a continual pain through the small of my back and at times black spots before my eyes. The se- cretions were also unnatural iu ap- pearance, and showed that my kid neys needed prompt attention. Deans Kidney Pills procured at the City Drug Store, soon changed this state of affairs and finally cured me entirely of the trouble. '

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi- nary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not for a moment imagine that colds are not dangerous Everyone knows that pneumonia and chronic catarrh have their origin in a common cold. Consumption is not caused by a cold but the cold prepares the system for the reception and development of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodgment. It is the same with all infectious diseases. Diph- theria, scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough are much more likely to be contracted when the child has a cold. You will see from this that more real danger turks in a cold than in any other Of the common ailments The easiest and quickest way to cure cold is to take Chamberlain Cough Remedy. The many remarkable cures effected by this preparation have made 1t staple article of trade over q large part of the world. For sale by J. T. Sanders.

A Funeral Sermon.

They had laid the dead man ready
to be lowered into tho grave, says the
Liverpool Times.
The speaker approached the tomb
and addressed the mourners in these
words: Whatever be the social task
that we have accomplished; whether
we have experienced the cruel gnaw-
ings of misery or enjoyed the sweet
caresses of wealth; whether we have
lived in soft ease or struggled with
hard toll, we all fall one after another
at the fixed hour into the material
nothing to which Death leads us.
Whatever be the philosophic or relig-
ious path that our thought has travel
ed, the matter of our body, in dissolv-
ing reabsorbs and destroys forever our
France. The dead man was a school
teacher. The orator was the local
deputy. Could any scene more fear
fully portray the official paganism
which is blighting the hopes and ideals
of once noble people? That such a
scene should be possible shows how
completely many Frenchlnen have
broken with Christianity. The very
teachers of little children no longer
believe in God. Man is animated mat
ter in life: in death inanimated mat
ter, that is all! Let those who trifle
with the school system yet existing in
Great Britain ask themselves whether
the people of this country will permit
their children to be taught that men
are matter with warm breath in it.
nothing more? Yet that is the aim
of secular education.

hand and one in my left" she said.
How many pencils have I? Helen
you may answer"
'Two,"' piped a small voice.
"Then one and one makes two. do
they not?''
Sure"
The teacher frowned at the disre-
spectful answer.
That's hardly the answer you should
have said," she said. "Will some one in
the class tell Helen what her answer
should have been?"
There was moment Of hesitation.
Then one brown fist shot out conf

"Ah, James, you may tell Helen what
she should have said" g

An Old Fashioned Mother.

Mother is dead! Sad are the
words. Mother is dead! The gentle
smile with which she) greeted all is
hidden from sight in the grave; the
busy hands are folded; the loving
heart is still, says Rev. Bosley in Chel-
sea independent.
But from the depths Of our grief we
thank God it was our good fortune 10
have had an old fashioned mother. Not
a woman of the period enameled and
painted, with her great chignon, her
curls and bustle; whose white jeweled
hands never have >felt the clasp of
baby fingers, but a DEAR old fashioned,
sweet-voiced mother, with eyes in
which the love light shown, and brown
hair long since turned white, lying
smooth upon her. faded cheek. Those
dear hands, worn with toll, gently
guided our tottering steps in childhood
and smoothed our pillow in sickness;
reaching out to us in yearning tender

tized in the pearly spray of the river
Blessed is the memory of an old
fashioned mother. 1t floats DER us
now like the beautiful perfume of the
woodland blossoms The music of
other voices may be lost, but the en-
trancing memory Of hers will echo in
our soul forever. Other faces will fade
away and be forgotten, but hers will
shine on until the light from Heavens
portals, mayhap, shall glorify our own.
When in the fitful pauses of busy life
our thoughts wandered back to the old
homestead and in memory we cross
the we'll worn threshold and stand once
more in the low, quiet room, hallowed
by her presence; how the feeling of
childish innocence and dependence
comes over us, and we wish we could
again kneel in the molten sunshine
streaming through the western win

knelt by mothers knee lisping Our

Of those sacred hours with mothers

not hide from our sight the glory of
her pure, unseltish love.

your sleep will be tranquil, and your
