A traveller who from papers found on him is probably Elmer Smith of Illinois, died this morn ing at 6 o'clock in the waiting room of the Brinkley Union Station.
 Present at the time of his death were Agent E. E. White hurst, Night Ticket Agent Chas. Adams and others whose atten- tion had been called to him and who were trying to alleviate his suffering.
 The body was taken charge of by Undertaken H. L. Brickell and a telegram sent to his sister. Mrs. Marshall Pottinger. R. F D. No. l. Waldron, Illinois.
 The deceased came to Brinkley yestesday afternoon on Rock Island No. sos and had evidently been in the waiting room all night. He had letters addressed to him at Womble. Ark. He was probably $ years of age.

with legal help. This was nc doubt rather unpleasant to the clever attorneys who by their splendid stand for morality are doing so much in law enforce ment in Monroe county, but taking a case under the order and force of the court is no fault of theirs and does not in any way effect their agreement with the citizens committee, in refus- ing to take the whiskey sellers cases.
 Some of the tigers tried were acquitted but most of them re- ceived sentences in the peniten. tary. Noticeable of these was an old negro woman 60 years ot age by the name of Smith from Holly Grove who received a peni. tentiary sentence.

the pumps sending 1900 gallons of beautiful clear water every minute in whirling spray into the supply lake. I was struck with the wonder of it all. Two barrels of crude oil, about 10( gallons. at a cost of 5 cts. per gallon. run this wonderful and powerful machine 12 hours and from this it can readily be seen what an advantage it is to use oil instead of wood as fuel. Mr. Mitchell has two of these mag nificent new plants-the other located just southeast of Good win on this same beautiful ranch and both use crude oil as fuel. The Goodwin we'll is throwing a stream of about 5000 gallons of water each minute. Think of the scores of these wonderful wells sending forth each hour of the day from 2,OOO to 5000 gallons of water and thus con- tinuing day after day without in the least diminishing the supply. Surely there must be an under ground sea or where else could such a supply of water come from? (More next week on this point.)
 On this big ranch a number of pretty new houses have been built and l understand that MT. Mitchell will probably build a pretty modern new family resi- dence on this ranch this Fall and will move there from his present cozy home north of Goodwin.
 I told Mr. Mitchell of the new road from Wheatley to Brink ley and he hailed the news with delight.

Really MT. and Mrs. Wibbles were very happy together. except when an argument arose. Then Mrs. Wtbbles contradicted her husband firmly and as a matter of principle. One evening they were discussing the question of superiority of man over woman. and the ladys temper was heated. Al any rate," said her husband presently, there is one good. sweet and perfect thing which a man can have. but which is barred to women" Never" cried Mrs. Wibbles passionately. 'I deny it." Then she asked curiously. What do you mean?" "A wife," was the calm retort.

All along the road from Brink ley to Palestine the crops looked fine but nowhere did 1 see better cotton crops than those of color ed farmers just east of Brinkley. There's something strange about these Brinkley lands-I ride over the country in every direction and thro' the high priced lands in south end and thence Monday 1 was thro' the rich Dark Corner country whose immense open cotton acreage has filled the coffers of the Cot ton Plant merchants for years and yet with it all, the prettiest and finest cotton crops l have seen are the crops of D. c. Fox, a colored farmer 4 miles north of Brinkley and the crop of Ed Barbee on the Gus Simpson farm lust a mile north of Brinkley.
 I haven't been to to the south of town but Pm guessing that Farmer L. K. Brown has some- thing fine in the way of crops down there.
 If you will swing around the country in an auto you will. ap- preciate Brinkley, Brinkley land and roads more and more.

A True Story For You

It is with mingled feeling of horror and pity that a healthy man or woman hears or speaks of Epilepsy and it's victims. How much greater the torture, men, tally and bodily, of actual suffer- CTS from Epileptic attacks can only be imagined.
 Convultions, loss of conscious ness, terrible falls, etc., are bad enough in themselves, to be, and are dreadful afflictions, but the humiliation of publicity that so often accompanies these attacks causes as much mental as physical torture. The Palace Drug Store of Brinkley has finally secured fully guaran- teed remedy for Epilepsy. Hays Specific, the great system tonic has such stories as this to prove its merit.
 Dear Sirs: In answer to your request for statement 0 f my case, 1 will say 1 had Epilepsy, or Fits, since I was four years old. One bottle of-your> r>medicine stopped theu9 passed twenty five wofms~ T can recommend Tt to <any one afflicted with Epilepsy.

The second week of Circuit Court at Clarendon will come to close tomorrow and the report is that it is a slow grind of the mill of Justice. Judge Trimble is appearantly trying his best to push things but somehow or other the progress is slow.
 The big damage suit against the Hodges-Donnell Lumber Go. for, $8,000 by McGinnis is now being tried, having begun yester- day.
 The blind tiger cases have been taking considerable time. Judge Trimble appointed different members of the bar to defend those who plead mot guilty because the charge now consti- tutes felony and under the law it is the duty of the court to supply a defendant so charged

rraininc Children to Worry.


 The tendency of the age is to drive. We drove our own children to school: there they are driven for hours by one study after another; even when they come hIue they bring lessons with then--the lovers of study and over conrcteatlcNa because they want to do then, end the laggards because they must. if they are to keep up with their classes. If the parents of such chil- dren are not careful, they (the chil- dren) soon learn to worry: they are behindhand with their lessons; they didn't get the highest mark yesterday: the class is going ahead of them. etc. until at last mental collapse comes.- From Quit Your Worrying"

All are agreed that Little Mira

an eight-ouncer!
Thirty gallons of cows milk,
five gallons of barley water, large
quantities of prepared foods for

ter-such is the modified diet the
experts would prescribe.
AS Little Miracle has shown a
marked distaste for the bottle,
however, the problem of feeding
her has become distressingly COM
plicated.
Should she refuse it altogether
and go in a hunger strike, resort
may be had to the hose and for
chile feeding.
Little Miracles distaste for the
bottle is due to her desire for the
disdainful mother, Princess Alice.

bawls, 1t isn't just exactly as when
another infant squalls.

CLEARS AWAY PIMPLES

There is one remedy that sell
dom fails to clear away all pim-
pies, black heads and skin erup-
lions and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you
with zemo, which generally over
comes all skin diseases. Acne,
eczema, itch, pimples, rashes,
black heads in most cases give
way to zemo. Frequently, minor
biemishes disappear overnight.
Itching usually stops instantly.
Zemo is safe, clean, easy to use
and dependable. 1t costs only
Csc; an extra large bottle, $1.00.
1t will not stain, is not greasy or
sticky and is positively safe for
tender, sensitive skins.
