A terrific rain storm visited Forrest
City Wednesday evening, and the mud
was quite delightful change from
the dust that we have been en-
during for several weeks.
Madam Rumor was busy this week
with the news that one of Forrest
Citys charming women was TO be
united in marriage TO a prominent
and popular gentleman who has been
frequent visitor here. The bride
elect is daughter of one of the city S
HrSt families, and is lady who bS
every attribute of noble womanhoOd
is fitted TO grace and bless the heart
and home OF the fortunate man with
whom she has decided TO cast her lot
With the rest of her friends, The
Times desires TO unite in advance
best wishes and congratulations.
In the notice last week, OF the
death of Mrs. Deane, through an over
sight, the writer neglected to mention
the music rendered during the funer-
al services by the choir of the Church
of the Good Sheperd. This omission
is deeply regretted by US, and We as
sure the members of the choir that
their efforts in this RESPECTIVE deep
ly appreciated by the family, the Sc

An Indigestion
Remedy Free

Many people who are otherwise
healthy suffer from indigestion, or
dyspepsia. When you consider that
the stomach and allied digestive or
gans are the most important organs
of the body, it would seem that dis
order there is to be taken very SER
iously.
Dyspeptics cannot eat the things they
like; food sours in the stomach; then
chronic constipation begins, or, as is often
the case, you have been constipated all
along, and the stools are forced and
irregular.
But there is no use letting Indigestion
go until it becomes chronic and under
mines your health. 1t Is good advice to
suggest 10 you that you go TO your drug
gist and get bottle of DIR. Caldwell 8
Syrup Pepsin. the wonderful cure for
stomach, liver and bowel troubles That

the same and are cured are Ida A For

You can obtain 50-cent or 81 bottle Of

exceptional tonic properties which tone

pecially needed in indigestion.
All sufferers from indigestion who have
never used Dr. Caldwelfs Syrup Pepsin
can obtain a free test bottle by writing
home without any charge. In this way
thousands have proven to their own sat
isfaction DIR. Caidwelfs Syrup Pepsin is
the very remedy they needed to cure in
digestion. When once you use this grand
remedy you will throw violent cathartics.

CHAPTER XII.

Morley Vernon came out of the din.
ing room in n temper far different
from that he had worn when he went
in. His breakfast. after SO many vi.
cissitudes, was sure to be a failure,
though John, striving against fate, had
tried to restore the repast to its orig,
inal excellence by replacing each dish
with fresh one. He affected heroic
cheerfulness, too, but the cheer was
hollow, for his experience of men and
of breakfasts must have taught him
that such disasters can never be re-
paired.
Vernon, however. had heavier things
on his mind. In his new position as
knight-errant OF Illinois womankind
he had looked forward to this day as
the one of triumph; now. at its begin.
ming. he found himself with two of.
Tended women on his hands. and two
hopelessly irreconcilable mistresses to
serve. He began to see that the lot Of
n constructive statesman is trying: he
would never criticise leaders again.
The lobby of the hotel was filling
rapidly. and men with their hair still
damp from the morning combing were
passing into the breakfast room with
newspapers in their hands. In the
center Of the lobby. however. he saw
group of senator's. and out OF the
middle OF the group rose a dark bon
net: the flowers on the bonnet bobbed
now and then decisivcly. Around II
were clustered other bonnets. but they
were motionless. and. rs It were. sub,
ordinate.
Can you tell me who that is?''
asked Brooks of Alexander. jerking his
thumb at the group.
Yes" said Vernon. that's Gen.
Hodgc-Lathrop. She's on her way to
the front TO assume command"
Obi" said Brooks. Il saw some.
thing in the papers" And he went
away. reading rs he walked.
Vernon looked everywhere for Miss
Greene. but he could not find her The
porter at the Capitol avenue entrance
told him that she had driven over to
the State House n few minutes before
Vernon was seized by an impulse to
follow. but he remembered Amelia
He could not let matters go on thus
between them. II only Mrs. Overman
HodgeLathrop were not in command
II he could get Amelia away from her
for n while, II he could see her alone
he felt that explanations would be pos
sIble.
