Easter comes at an unusually early
date this year. The cold weather and
snow seem hardly fit accompaniments
for the day. The real truths of the
great day itself are largely missed by
the majority Of Protestant churches.

Aside from I religious standpoint, Lent

ESTIMATED CROP
 I3,677,00O BALES

The equivalent of l3,677000 bales of 500-pOund weight is the estimate |of the United States Department of Agriculture on the cotton crop of 1913, announced at Z D. m., Washing ton time, today. The estimate, which lis always watched with much interest by the cotton trade, was considerably under average expectations, but the market responded only slightly to the bullish figures. closing about 10 points higher.
 The estimate is given in pounds of lint cotton, which divided by 800 gives the number of bales As the average weight of bales is six or seven pounds over 500, the actual estimated crop would be about one and a half per cent less than 13,677 OOO, or. 13,572,OOO bales. To the commercial crop, how ever, will be added probably lial. million bales of linters and re-packs, which are not included in the gove: ernment estimate.

ARkADELPnIAN MAKES
 GREAT COTTON RECORD
CLARK COUNTY FARMER GETS 173 BALES FROM 18O ACRES
 OF LAND.

Philadelphia, Dec. 12.-One of the
 most notable feats in farming for the year 1913 in Clark county was the
 raising of 173 bales of cotton on 1S0 acres of land. This was done by Judge
 Duncan Flannigan on his plantation two miles south of Philadelphia. And
 this despite the long drouth of nearly two months during the fruiting season. Judge Flannigan's farm is mainly of the black land variety of soil and will produce corn, cotton, alfalfa, peas, pumpkins or most any other product
 with prolific results. His corn crop of 100 acres produced 5000 bushels, or an average of 30 bushels per acre.. Had the season been even an average one, he would have made nearly double that yield. This is one of the most valuable farms in this section, lying directly on the main line of the Iron Mountain railway and being far enough from the river to never be in the overflow district. Judge Flanni- gan is son of the we'll known war Governor Flannigan of Arkansas dur ing the states secession, and, while a lawye rand politician, he enjoys the occupation of being farmer and good one. The crop of this county is nearly 1000 bales better than it Was last year, although the acreage was perhaps not quite so large. Diversi- fled farming is gaining much proml- hence among the farmers and planters hereabouts, and stock raising has claimed attention also.

When had about given up hope of being cured, friend urged me to try Doan's Kidney Pills. The results of their use were beyond my expectations.

CATARRR OF
 THE PHARYNX.

Clearing out your throat every day, all day. That Is what you have been doing for months. Possibly years A little mucus covers the pharynx- . If you were 10 go to a doctor he would tell you that you have ph3T- yngitis. If you were to look into your own throat you would find just back of the soft palate red lunpy, granular appearance of the back part of the tbroat. Pharyngitis the doc tors call it.
 Perhaps he would call it. folicuIas pharyngitis. It causes you constant annoyance. You are always making slight disturbances when seated in an audience. Cant hold your threat still. Stringy mucous bothers you. Worse in the morning.
 A-heml A-hem, A-hem, That is the way you are going nearly all day Sometimes in the night when you wake up. You ought to gargie your throat with salt water every morn ing. Cold salt water. That cle3r- out the throat perfectly and makes Ji ready for treatment.
 Peruna is the treatment. Began with a teaspoonful before each meal and at bedtime. Try it for a weeb. You will be convinced. Of course. Peruna will not entirely relieve you in a week. That is too much to eS- pect of any remedy. But it will bene fit you so much you will be c65- vinced. Yes, it will. It has tsobe this many times.
 Folicular pharyngitis. Big words Almost as bad as tho disease. But If you take Peruna for one month reg ularly, you may forget that you. ever had such a disease. Then you wi1 have a perfect right to forget the big words too.
