done thou good and faithful ser
vant enter thou into the joy of
thy Lord. R. B. Haktin
Whatever is done by human
beings is apt to be full of mis
takes. Courts of justice frequent
ly work hardships on innocent
parties through the underminin g
faslehood of some envious per
sons who-cannot make a success
in life and who try to hinder
everyone else.
“Last winter an infant child of
mine had croup in a violent form,
says Elder John W, Rogers, a j
Christian Evangelist, of Filley, j
Mo. “I gave her a few doses of!
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
and in a short time all danger j
was past and the child recover
ed.” This remedy not only cures
croup, but when giyen as soon as
the first symtons appear, will
prevent the attack. It contains
no opium or other harmful sub
stance and may be given as con
fidently to a baby as to an adult.

Mrs. E. L. Phillips showed us a

weighing six pounds and being
as large as a person’s head. If
anyone can beat this, let him
come to the front. Such turnips !
1
as these exhibited at the St. Lou |
is World’s Fair will make the j
people hunt up Woodruff Co. |
Let us have a nice lot of turnips,
pumpkins etc. for our display,
They tell us that Mr. Howell was j
not even trying to raise large tur- j
nips this year. If this be the case,
we would kindly ask Mr. Howell J
to try to cultivate some extra:
large ones next year for the Fair.

be present and encourage the j

The World’s Fair commission
of Woodruff Co. met at McCrory
Tuesday Nov. 5th as per an
nouncement. The following mem
bers were in attendance: Judge J.
B. Dent, Mr. E. Edwards, Col.
C. M. Crossett, Dr. J. B. Neal
and the writer. After discuss
ing various plans, the body de
cided to postpone active work for
this year and some time next
summer or autumn, to have a
World’s Pair barbecue some
where near Martin Junction.
To have several good speakers
present such as Gov. Jefferson
Davis and Hon. Harry Miers.
The reason for our postponement
is simply this, the people have
had such bad crops this season,
that it would almost be folly to
try to do anything in that line |
now. But we want it understood ■
that Woodruff Co. will have an ex- j
hibit at St. Louis that will rank j
with any county in the State,!
We would suggest that any citi-!
zen of Woodruff Co. who has any-;
thing worthy to be seen at the i
Pair, should keep same for that
purpose. Every farmer should
give something special attention
next year and save that for our
display. Samples of oats, wheat,
rye, cotton, corn, fruit and in
fact anything that will be a draw-;
ing card for our county. We are
citizens of Woodruff Co. and we
should all take the utmost inter
est in its upbuilding and future 1
development. The World’s Fair
is one of the best mediums of ad
vertisement wTe can command for
the outside world. We need more
people; more push and energy in
order to drain these slashes and
clear these forests. The time will
come when Woodruff Co. will be
the Banner Co. of the state of
Arkansas.
