POET JIM BROWN

Brown IS statesman some poole dc
 not adore. But think him out of place on the
 statehouse floor, And because of a question he let the
 people decide, To kill his influence with the people
 they've tried. That he was wrong in asking the peo-
 pie is all tommyrot; Remember he is not Johnnie, but
 Jimmie on the spot, For he breaches, he legislates and he
 farms, And with men of intellect he measures
 arms. Now all these qualities in one man
 may be scarce, But that is not all-he is clever at
 writing verse. If he does his duty as he sees it, and
 the best he cen, We should look over mistakes-he's
 not an infallible man. When it takes nerve and backbone to
 proclaim the right, Brown, the poet and statesman, is in
 the fight And critics may yell and enemies try
 to bluff, But Brown don't down until they all
 holler huff Standing under his country's flag 0u-
 turled X rising star in the religious and po-
 htical world At Little Rock with body and mind
 intent On the great mission by his people
 sent. You can condemn this as bad poetry
 if Fou want t0, But all of what have said i9 iu,t
 about true; For in the whole state as you pass up
 and down, It is hard 10 find an equal to the poet
 Jim Brown. A. K. \.

The most perilous hour in a persons life is when he is tempt ed to despond. The man who loses his courage loses all. There is no more hope for him than for dead man. But it matters not how poor he may be, how much deserted by friends, how much pushed by circumstances or how much lost to the world, if he only keeps up his courage, holds up his head and works on with un- conquerable will, determined to be and to do what becomes q man, all will be well. It Is nothing on the outside that holds a man down, but what Is within that makes or unmakes the man.

COMMON SENSE

Leads most intelligent people to use only medaineS of known composition. There fore 1t is that Dr. Perce's medicines, the makefNof which print every ingredient entering klto them upon the bottle wrap pers and attest it's correctness under oath, are daily grSAing in favor. The com position of Dkl Pierce's medicines is open to yerybodyVDr. Pierce beilg deslrons. of having tue -SeaIchIIght ol inyestIga. tf0n turned fully upon hiS formulR, being confident that lhe better Inc com tion 6T- -TEese- medicines IS known the more VIII theiL. GIeat curative merits be Ieeog:. nIzed- Being wholly made of the active medicinal principles extracted from na- tive forest roots, by exact processes original with Dr. Pierce, and without the use of a drop of alcohol, triple-refned and chemically pure glycerine being used in- stead in extracting and preserving the curative virtues residing in the roots employed, these medicines are entirely free from the objection of doing harm by creating an appetite for either al- coholc beverages or habit forming drugs. Examine the formula on their bottle wrappers-the same as sworn to by Dr. Pierce, and you will find that bis "Golden Medical Discovery" the great, blood purifier, stomach tonic and bowel regulator-the medicine which, while not recommended to cure consumption in its advanced stages tho medicine will do that yet does cure all those catarrhal condi- tions of head and throat, weak stomach, torpid liver and bronchial troubles, weak lungs and hang ng-on-coughs, which, if neg lected or badly treated lead up to and finally terminate in consumption.
 Take the "Golden Medical Discovery ? tll time and it is not likely to disappoint you if only you give it thorough and fdiT trial. Don't expect miracles. It won't do supernatural things You must exercise your patience and persevere in it's use for reasonable length of time to get its full benefits. The ingredients of which Dr. Pierce's medicines are composed have the unqualified endorsement of scores of medical leaders-better than any amount of lay, or non-professional, testimonials. They are not given away Co be experi- mented with but are sold by all dealers in medicines at reasonable prices.

CLERK OF COURT OFFICE ON
SALARY BASIS.

A bill was passed at the late session
of the state legislature, fixing the
salary of the clerk of court of the
counties Of the state, which has he
effect of reducing the income Of the
local county's clerk Of court Office fully
$500 per year, as also affecting to a
considerable extent other northern
counties of the state, although not
making much difference IN the income
Ct this Office in the southern countess
Under the new law the county Office
come in class D, which allows a salary
of 5000 per annum. the county having
a population of more than 20, 900 and
less than 80, 600. But another provision
in the bill deducts 800 per year from
this set salary, the county having a
less taxable valuation than IS, 900, 600.
The Office IS still allowed pay at IS
cents per description for copying 1, 600
descriptions, but not for more, in the
annual tax list. $3.50. although there
are from z, 500 to 1000 descriptions in
the tax list each year. This makes
the salary of the local county clerk s
Office $3.50, and he is still allowed to
charge fee for marriage licsenes,
civil cases, etc.
If the salary of the county clerk IS
shown to be inadequate, however, the
county board can raise it to a reason
able amount.

SUES CITY FOR GROCERY BILL

Papers have been served on the city
in suit that has been started against
1t by Jos. Gendron, a Broadway
grocer, to enforce the payment of q
grocery bill in the sum of $14. 80,
which was contracted by one of its
officers in the name Of the city fox
the city poor.
When the J. L. Bastien home was
quarantined for smallpox January
last. the family was IN destitute
circumstances and it became the duty
of the health officer, Dr. E. E. Hall at
that time, to see that the family had
something to live on during the time
OF quarantine. He therefore gave an
order on the Jos. Gendrou store tor
the needed supply. Mr.. Gendron put
in his bill in the above sum for
groceries supplied to the family from
Jan. 6 to Jan. 25, the time of
quarantine, to the city council,
which however was rejected by the
city fathers at their meeting February
l on the grounds that JILL Bastier
COULD afford to pay for his groceries.
The bill was again brought up tor
consideration but was again rejected.
The return day set for this case IS
Wednesday,. May 5, and at this time
the date for the trial for the case will
be set.
