CHANGES ON ELECTRIC LINES.
New Haven Road to Take Certain oi
 Them from Connecticut Go.

New Haven, Aug 26.--A man high in railroad circles made the state ment yesterday that there would be some big changes made on the Md dletown-Berlin, and Middletown-Mer- iden electric branches in the near flu ture, by which the control of these lines would be taken from the Con necticut Go and given over to the management of the N. Y., N. H. and H. R. R. Go. This means ill all probability, it is said, that the trol- ley employees who now run the cleo tric cars on these lines will be busted and that railroad men will be put in their places. The motormen's places will be filled by men taken from the railroad firemen and the conductors places by railroad brakemen who will be broken in soon for the new places. The wages paid to the new motormen and conductors will be more than those paid to the former crews as they will receive the same wages as they were earning on the steam road. This new move will be most satisfactory to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen, who have been trying to gain this point eyer since steam was abandoned and the operation of trains by electricity on these lines was begun.
 Just what the feelings of the troll ley men and the railroad company are have not been stated, but it is possible that the trolley men in Mid dletown and Meriden may protest to the railroad company.

INDIGESTION
A Disorder that Breeds Dis- ease in the Body, and an Easy Way to Cure it.

Take care of the stomach and you will have little need for the doctor.
 When the stomach begins to show signs of disorder; when the food digests slowly and with discomfort; when you have heartburn; feel bloated and uneasy, you are in condition that needs atten- ton.
 Prickly Ash Bitters corrects the dis ordered stomach by strengthening and toning up the digestive organs, driving the badly digested food into the bowels and thence out of the system.
 Constipation is nearly always pres- ent when the stomach becomes sour or disordered. Prickly Ash Bitters con- tains the medicinal qualities which act as a restorative and regulator for the stomach and bowels. It strengthens the digestive organs, cures constipation and prevents the return of bilious conditions.
 Thousands of people who have re- ceived lasting benefit from this great remedy willingly testify to its power in curing indigestion, constipation and kid ney trouble.
 'I suffered from constipation for years, and tried many remedies, but Prickly Ash Bitters is the only medicine that has ever done me any good. Through its use am now in good health and entirely free from all traces of my former trouble."-B. P. SrIGALL, winnsboro, Louisiana

EVANS S-BlANT0N
Two Popular and Long Time Residents
 of Forrest City Happily Married.

The marriage of Mr. !. !. Bud Evans to Mrs. Mary E. Blanton has been the all absorbing topic in town for ten nays. the interest growing more and more intense as the appoint ed day approached nearer and nearer, and on Wednesday night, promptly at s:3O. the beautiful ceremony of the Methodist Episcopal Church was said by Rev. Boone L. Milford, the local pastor, which bound these two fond hearts until death do us part. | Long before the hour named above the friends of the high contracting parties began to gather at the lovely home of the bride on South Rosser street, and by s o'clock there were present D or perhaps 100 friends who had been invited orally. There were no cards.
 The reception hall and parlor were handsomely decorated in green and white, and the diningroom in pink and white.
 In the hall Mrs. Ernest Hoshall and Miss Johnnie Horney received in their usual happy and most gracious man. ner, and in the diningroom Mrs. Chas. Mcdaniel and Miss Emily Davis were equally as vivacious and cheerful.
 Miss Prichard officiated at the piano, rendering the accompaniment to the Sweetest Story Ever Told,' sung by MT. David Davis, before the eeremo- ny, then the grand Wedding March of Mendelssohn, and during the ceremo- ny 70, Promise Me-" was also sung by MT. David Davis. When the march was rendered, the bride and groom ap- preached the improvised altar and stood under a magnificent arch of green and white, while the beautiful ceremony was being said. Immediately afterwards they were surrounded by their present friends and showered with congratulations and many good | wishes.
 The guests then repaired to the diningroom, where ice cream and cake in the color scheme of pink and white was served.
 The charming bride was most be- comingly gowned in a suit of cream net over taffeta, and carried a lovely boquet of white lilies.
 The happy couple were the recipi- ents of perfectly magnificent array of beautiful, useful and ornamental presents, which were greatly admired by all present.
 Thus two of the oldest families oi St. Francis county are happily united in bonds of matrimony and love.
 The Times man regrets that owing to ill health he was unable to be pres ent and extend in person the congrat ulations and good wishes he has in his heart for these two very good friend: of long standing. But we wish to joir in all the good wishes and hopes fol their future that have been uttered and add that they may live long and prosper, have health, and always be as happy and contented as they were upon this most suspicious occasion May their lives be one long, sweet re. alization of their fondest hopes.
