GOLDEN ROD AS A REMEDY
Plant Dedicated to 8t. Auguetlne of
Hippo Wit Once Ueed by
Phyaicians.
St. Augustine of Hippo, the great
doctor of the church whose festival
fell on August 28, is a sadly neg
lected saint among modem ritual
ists, and even occasionally confused
with the namesake who insulted our
British bishops. Yet he is pro
nounced by Hooker “without any
equal,” and regarded by Hamack
as “the first modern man.” He has
been better honored in the floral
world, for to him is dedicated the
golden rod or wound wort (Solida
go virgaurea.) Old Gerarde, with
whim this was a favorite remedy,
tells us that golden rod fetched a
high price as a foreign herb until
discovered growing near London,
when the plant was neglected. He
adds the caustic comment: “This
verifieth our English proverb ‘Far
fetcht and dear bought is best for
ladies,’ or for fantastical physi
cians.” Before tobacco the golden
rod also furnished snuff for our me
dieval forefathers. — Westminster

After finishing their feast the hap

HEIGHT OF CRIMINALS.
Dr. Charles Perrier says that
criminals are for the most part of
medium height. Thieves, he says,
he found to be almost exclusively
of medium stature and beggars near
ly always of medium or slightly un
der that height. “It is seldom,” he
KflVH. “thflt n filllv rlpvolruwl kprr
gar nature can be found in a large
frame.” Murderers, on the other
hand, his observations prove to be
above the average in size. All the
prisoners under punishment for ar
son and for counterfeiting measured
by him came under the head of
“small.” His observations were
made in France.
TACT.
“You insisted on our coming to
this hot, horrid place,” shrilled Mrs.
Outsome, “and I’m sunburned till
I look like an Apache Indian!”
“Not at all, my love,” said Mr.
Outsome. “Your complexion is a
clear, beautiful light brown.”
Thus did a soft tan, sir, as it were,
turn away wrath.
RASHNESS.
The candidate for office had open
ly advocated honesty.
Naturally the other managers of
the machine were indignant.
“I always said that fellow was no
politician,” commented one, and the
rest agreed that the outlook was du
bious.
THE TROUBLE.

F. M. Rhodes, a prominent
planter near DeView presented to
this office a few days ago, a fine,
large sweet potato which weighed
10 pounds and measured 29 inches
in circumference. It was planted
last May and is of the Southern
Queen variety. Mr. Rhodes who
weighs something over 200 pounds
set out the plant himself and as
the old saying goes, it must have
“taken after him” asto size and
weight.

Goodbar of Lonoke, completed the

Our school is growing so rapidly
that the board has been forced to
employ a fifth teacher in the per
son of Mrs. Bruce Fakes, and a
sixth is greatly needed. Quite a
number of people met at the school
auditorium recently and after sev
eral addresses were made on the
necessity of more funds, two hun
dred dollars was subscribed by
those present and a committee was
appointed to furthur receive dona
tions. It is hoped that $500.00
will be contributed by our citizens
to furthur the educational interests
of our school which is overflowing
with pupils.

Cotton seed sold at Cooper,
Texas on the 14, at $21 per ton.
What is the matter with cotton
seed in Arkansas, $12.00 is the
top price here. We suppose that
there is competition at Cooper and
there is none here.
There is a lady near here who
picked over 1000 pounds of cotton
in days and did her house work
also. Her husband fell short of
that amount in the same length of
time. Such a wife is worth her
weight in gold. Am sorrv for a
man who will let his wife beat him
picking cotton.
