We are having some farming wealth CT now.
 We are at loss to know just who is governor of the great state of Ark ansaS.
 J. M. Wallace, formerly of the Vale of Beulah, but now of the Blind Tiger City, passed here last Monday enroute to his old home.
 The public roads of this district, are very good, considering the bad wet weather we have had this spring.
 There has been considerable cotton planted here lately, and from the present outlook, there will be more that will have to be replanted.
 F. C. Ramp and wife visited the family of J. NJ. Gunter, of Sand Ridge last Sunday, and report that :every- body in that place is raising yellow corn.
 The beautiful dude of Lulu, Ark ansas, MT. Ben Bruce, greeted us with his bright smiles last Sunday.
 MT. Jim Cook, of Lulu, was in this locality last Sunday airing a pony that he has recently purchased. The horse has a pedigree as long as the moral law.
 Dr. w. NJ. Guest and wife took dinner and spent the afternoon Sun- day with the family of Mr. II. J. Jonnsey, our faithful mail carrier from Democrat to Heth.
 Mir. Wm. Dyer must have visited the hoot owls last Sunday, as he was not in attendance at Sunday school, and was not seen after sunrise that day.
 Squire W. s. Thomas evidently ran short of meat this week, as he went l hunting last Tuesday in order to re. plenish his supply but he returned later in the evening, hatless. gunless, and nearly clotheless, and claimed that something got after him in the cane that made as much fuss as d whole train of cars. He has not re- covered his gun and wearing apparel up to this writing.
 Sheriff and Mrs. Wallace, of the Vale of Beulah, are shopping and sightseeing in Memphis, leaving here on Tuesday. and haven't returned UT to this writing. SILVER BILL.

The Most Common Cause of Suffering.

Rheumatism causes more pain and suffering than any other disease, for of all ills, and il is certainly gratify- ing to sufferers to know that Cham berlain's Pain Balm will afford relief, and make rest and sleep possible. In many cases the relief from pain, which is at first temporary, has become per manent, while in old people subject to chronic rheumatism, often brought on by dampness or changes in the weather, a permanent cure cannot be expected, the relief from pain which this liniment affords is alone worth many times its cost. p and 50 cent sizes for sale by ].

But the enthusiasm for his majesty must
have been confined 70 the conservative

That the Constitutional Democrats. who

the fact that fortnight ago the govern

porter OF their party from holding places

DEMOCRATIC HOPE.
Always Eathusiastic Even IN Face
of Defeat.

From the Kansas City Tines
The ability Of the party to meet n
national convention every four years and
make a new worlds record In the way
of e vocal demonstration belongs alone
to the Democrats. That accounts for
the wasted enthusiasm at Denver It
also accounts largely FOR the fact that
there IS a Democratic party. No other
political organization has ever existed
In the face OF defeats so frequently, cor
tinuously, and emphatically administered.
and victory so seldom achieved
The Democracy has been robbed OF Of
fees. shOrn OF political patronage. Lurn-
ed oct OF power. II has existed without
public favor on the public pay roll. but Il
comes % tha rallyfng point every four
years buoyaht and sanguine. and always
ready to "holseI."
This year. as in 1895 1900. and 1904. II
faces almost certain defeat-but II was
never more enthusiastic II requires 24z
electoral votes 10 elect q President, and
had the remotest idea where they are
not Democrat at the Denver convention
to come from. But what has that to dc
with the Denver convention2 The respon-
sibslity for getting the votes rests with
the candidates. Ths delegates we're
merely there to smash all records In tIie
way OF shouting. and. you bet! they
shouted.
without tais cheerful optimism wha'
would a Democratic convention be. any
way?
