Domestic Troubles.
It is exceptional to iind n family
where there are no domestic rap
tures occasionally, but these can
bo lessened by having Dr. King's
New Life Kills around. Much
trouble they save by their great
work in stomach and liver troubles.
They not only relieve you. but
cure. 25c, at J. I. Sturdivant’s
Wonderful Nerve.

during pains of accidental, cuts,
wounds, bruises, burns, scalds,
sore feet or st iff joints. Hut there's
no need for it. ISuck!en’.-> Arnica
Salve will kill the pain and cun'
the trouble. It’s the best salve on
earth for piles, too. 2oc, at ,J. I.

PROFITABLE FARMING.
Farming is rapidly becoming
one of the most profitable indus
tries in the South and the man
with small means ean perhaps,
realize a greater profit on his mon
ey invested by engaging in agri
cultural pursuits than in any oth
er line of business.
As an example of what a man
with the proper amount of push
and energy can accomplish along
this line, we call attention to the
fact that W. II. Crigler, a young
farmer living out in Black River
township, on what most people
term ordinary hill land, has real
ized something like #115 a month
for his labor expended in making
a crop the past season.
lie sold three bales of cotton
here a few days ago for which he
received 13.674r cents a pound, and
when asked by The Journal re
porter what he was going to real
ize out of his entire crop, ho re
plied that it would bring him
about $780.
lie ruiscd last year 10 bales oi
cotton, 425 bushels of corn, 120
bushels of sweet potatoes, 65 bush
els of oats and 30 loads of hay.
This crop was cultivated by Mr.
Cri^ler single-handed and he paid
out only £22.35 for help to make
the crop.
f i’s is wha' The Journal ealls
profitable farming. It will be no
ticed, too, that Mr. (bugler esti
mate of the value of this crop is
very conservative. In fact when
figured out at its actual worth on
the market in dollars and cents it
amounts to a little more than $S00.
Ten bah s of cotton tigered at an
aver a;: • -*f ’ :,i ; ba! amount- to
£600: -125 bushels of ecu a at 35
cents :i bushel would be worth
s[J;s,75; 65 bushels of oats are
worth £10.50; 120 bushels of sweet
potatoes are worth at a low esti
mate $60. Th is amounts to $828.
25 to say nothing- of the 30 loads
of hay. It required about four
months work to make this crop
and three months to gather it. The
value of the hay, and the seed
from the cotton will likely offset
the actual cost of gathering the
crop, leaving Mr. Crigler a net
profft of $805.90 for his seven
months labor. This is $115.12 a
month. Can you beat this with
small means in any other honest
avocation known to man ? Wo
think not.

Cured Lumbago.
A. B. ('unman, Chicago, writes
March 4, 1903: “Having been
troubled with Lumbago at differ
ent times and tried one physician
after another, then different oint
ments and linaments, gave it up
altogether. So I tried once more,
and got a bottle of Ballard’s Snow
Linament, which gave me almost
instant relief. I can cheerfully re
commend it. and will add my name
to your list of former sufferers.”

Jeff and The Joint.
The Post-Dispatch says: “Gov.
Jeff Davis of Arkansas has given
up his joint debate. Couldn’t he
get the right kind of a joint to
hold them in?"
Saved From Terrible Death.
The family of Mrs. M. L. Bob
bitt of Bargerton, Tenn., saw her
dying and were powerless to save
her. The most skillful physicians
and every remedy used, failed,
while consumption was slowly but
surely taking her life. In this
terrible hour Dr. King's New Dis
covery for Consumption turned
despair into joy. The first bottle
>.h‘ i- .'ii(*• k:i*. relief and its

nor. it's the most certain cure in
the world for all throat and lung
troubles. Guaranteed bottles 50c
and $1.00. Trial bottles free at

Do You Read The News?
Do you read the paper, or do
you only think you do? It is of
ten said that the local paper con
tains no news. Why do the peo
ple think so? We cannot tell, un
less it is because they take the pa
per when it comes from the otlice
and open to the “locals” or to
some one town letter, and, after
reading rapidly through that,
throw the paper down with the re
mark, “Oh dear! There isn’t
anything in that paper!” If that
is the way the paper is read it is a
fact that there is no news in it, for
nothing is “news” but just what
little one happens to read. A lot
of very interesting news is thrown
aside unread, and then is the com
plaint that “there isn't anything
in the paper.”
Rev. Carlisle P. B. Martin, L.L.D.
i Of Waverly, Texas, writes: “Of a
; morning, when lirst arising, I of
' ten find a troublesome collection
of phlegm, which produces a cough
and is very hard to dislodge; but
a small quantity of Ballard’s Hore
hound Syrup will at once dislodge
it, and the trouble is over. 1 know
| of no medicine that is equal to it,
aud it is so pleasant to take. 1 can
most cordially recommend it to all
persons needing a medicine for
throat or lung trouble.” 25c, 50c,

MAKE HOME ATTRACTIVE.
Why do boys and girl° go away
from home lor their amusement?
The truth is, if a boy or a girl
goes away from home six or seven
nights in a week somebody is to
blame. Some place is more attrac
tive than home.
If the children enjoy home they
will wish to stay there. Perhaps
father wants to read the paper and
won’t endure the games and laugh
ter. Is the paper of more conse
quence than his children’s safety?
Then let him not complain if he
finds his sons in work houses. Are
mother’s nerves so unstrong by
household cares that a sudden
bump “sets her on edge?” Can
she not teach herself endurance?
Then she must not mourn if she
drives her daughters to the street*.
It is only in the evening that
the family circle may be complete
and when everyone is at home,
homo should be an immenso play
ground.
No father can hold his non s re
gard unless he loves to share, in
his sports. No mother can be her
daughter’s confidant unless she lis
tens eagerly to the tales of mis
chief and romance. It is such an
easy thing to lose the confidence
of the growing child; there are so
many curious ears among friends
and playmates longing to listen.
Keep the boys and girls at home.
Give them a good time there,
j Hold them close to the heart of
j the family circle. Give of the
! best that life affords to the horns
! gatherings. Give your smil* s and
! sympathy and try to charm arid
I entertain those, whom you love.

Imperfect Digestion.
Means less nutrition and in con
sequence less vitality. When the
liver fails to secrete bile, the blood
becomes loaded with bilious pro
perties, the digestion becomes im
paired and the bowels constipated.
Horbine will rectify this; it gives
tone to the stomach, liver and kid
neys, strengthens the appetite,
clears and improves the complex
ion, infuses new life and vigor to
the whole system. 50 cents a bot
tle at Sturdivant’s Drug Store.
Negro Stabbed White flan.
Van Buren, dan. ‘23.—A trage
dy was narrowly avoided hero this
evening. Harry Pierce, a white
man, conductor on the Fort Smith
and Western Railway, became in
volved in a difficulty with a negro
named Ben Bain. Bain attempted
to cut the throat of Pierce with a
springback dirk knife. Pierce’s
jaw was laid open from the ear to
the corner of his mouth. Bain is
in jail charged with attempt to
kill.
