No Rest

Without sleep the nervous
system soon becomes a wreck,
and the healthful activity of all
the organs obstructed. Restful,
bodybuilding sleep accompanies
the use of DR.. Miles Nervine
because it soothes the irritable
nerves, and restores nervous
energy. When taken a few days
according to directions, the most
restless sufferer will find sleep
natural and healthful. Get
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.

Much is being said about the
vast undeveloped resources of
Arkansas; and the resources are
unquestionably here. They will
be developed, too. The only ques-
ton is by whom is it to be done2
If our young men are given prac-
teal training in the arts and
sciences, they will do the work and
reap the profits. If they are per-
mitted to grow up ignorant and
unframed, men from other states
will take charge of the work and
reap the profits, and our children
will be mere "hewers of wood and
drawers of water" for alien capt.
tai and alien knowledge.

Good schools, good roads and

to that endl

There's plenty of room in indie
pendence county for several thou

county needs them badly. The
kind of farmers we have reference
to are those who know how to do
things a little better than the aver

only one grew before.

UNITED STATES A SEA POWER.

European papers are engagedin live
ly discussion over the relative strength
of the navies of the world The
French papers are contending that the
American navy is equal, if not superior,
to that of Germany. Magazine experts
here have demonstrated to their own
satisfaction that the United States
Navy is wholly worthless; that in bat
tie with any modern fleet the vessels
which we sent on a cruise around the
world would go down as if they were
made of paper. So we are, or ought to
be, duly grateful to the French writer's
for proving that we stand second to Great
Britain in sea power.
Nobody on this side of the ocean is
seriously anticipating war with any other
nation, but, on the other hand, few
Americans!tremble at the word war. !"
In all the naval conflicts in which this
country has been engaged, from the
time when John Paul Jones, in the old
rotten, and unwieldy Bon Homme Rich
ard, met and destroyed the Scraps and
Countess Of Scarborough off the coast
of Scotland in 1873, down to the time
when Schley destroyed the Spanish
fleet in Santiago harbor, the American
navy never met with disastrous defeat.
1t occasionally lost Individual ships, as,
for example, the Chesapeake, in its
fight with the Shannon, or the Essex,
while contending with the Phoebe and
Cherub in the harbor at Valparaiso, but
in every case where the chances were
even.our ships have won.
