A cheap sold cure said to be
effectual for thecureofdrinkhab
it is to eat tomatoes, sprinkled
with salt, consuming as much
as possible. Continue eating the
tomatoes and salt for several
days and it is said you will find li
quor offensively ungrateful to the
stomach, so much so that will be
thrown up.
Quite a little damage was
caused and excitement created
the first of the week by a fire,
originating by the falling of hot
cinders from a passing train on

Quite a number of citizens went
to the scene of the conflagration,
and “fought tire” to a fare you

Last Tuesday Charlie Thomp
son, constable of Cache township,
came up from Wiville on a
searching tour. He was in quest
of Mrs. Nap Smith (col.) who it
is. claimed left Wiville with some
goods that had been attached by
Dr. R. D. Patterson for medical
aid. Nap Smith left Wiville
sometime since leaving his wife
behind to take care of things un
til he got good and ready to send
for her, in the meantime settling
in Mississippi. An attachment
was placed upon the goods Mrs.
Smith had in charge as before
stated, but Mrs. Smith either
doesn’t know the meaning of the
word attachment or is a deep
schemer. Anyway she took
French leave the first of the
week taking with her the goods,
attachment and all. And now
the constable is looking for the
rare avis.

A Kansas young man who had
just graduated from college un
dertook to drive a yoke of oxen,
and desiring to say “Gee, Buck,’’
to his team, said: “Abandon
the direct progression to the
straight thitherward, and deviate
by inclinatory and aberrant dex
trogyration into a dextral inci
dent.” About this time his
father’s foot elevated him about
ten feet.
An intelligent foreigner is said
to have expressed himself after
the following fashion on the ab
surdities of the English lan
guage: “When I discovered
that if I was quick I was fast, if
I stood firm 1 was fast, if I spent
too freely I was fast, and that
not to eat was to fast, I was dis
couraged; but when I came
across this sentence, The first
one won one one-dollar prize, ’ I
was tempted to give up English
and learn some other language.”
Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Marsh,
Mrs. Keating and her son Bruce,
spent last Thursday fishing on
Cache river. One unfortunate
thing occured to the party and
that was the loss of a basket
ful of eatables. They had taken
dinner along and left it remain
ing in the buggy. When they
returned a four-legged hog had
the basket and was hugely enjoy
ing itself masticating the contents.
Dark suspicious are entertained
by the party that some two-leg
ged hog had been in the basket
prior to the one referred to.
McCrory now has several
coons. The sports of the town
have a kind of a mania for coon
! pets and it is nothing to see one
j of our boys going along the
: streets with a three or four
| pound coon to whose neck is at
tached a log chain. Prom the
looks of the chains one would
think the animals were of a
vicious, erocious temperament,
i But they do not seem to show
much signs of viciousness and
some are more or less religiously
inclined. Quite often is it the
case when the preacher has ar
rived at the saddestpart of his
text that the pet coon meanders
up and down the aisle to the
amusement of ail, especially the
ladies who are immediately pos
j sessed of a “look-out-for-the
naouse” feeling.

C. R. Atkinson, J. E. Atkinson
and Misses Ellen and Ida Atkin
son returned Monday from Arm

spent a few weeks drinking good
pure water and breathing moun
tain air. Mr. C. R. Atkinson in- i
forms us that crops in that sec- j
tion are in splendid condition and j
the want of rain is unknown,
there this year, it having rained
several times during their stay.
Crops in general looked fine un
til he crossed the Red river near
Judsonia when things took the
“dry” appearance that is so gen
eral throughout the country at
present.
W. R. Robinson of Jackson
port, Ark., is visiting his old
friend and comrade in our “late
misunderstanding. ” Mr. Shear
! er is always glad to have one of
! his old comrades come to see
|
him. Many of the old reminis
censes are recalled at a meeting
of two old soldiers, and it is al
ways a source of amusement and
pleasure to hear these old
“fighters for what they believed
to be their right” relate their
war incidents. Mr. Robinson
i was bugler under the same com
j mand where our friend John
! Shearer served, and to hear him
tell of how the boys joked him
by stuffing it with first one thing
and then another, from worn out
gum boots to man’s foulest offal,
is worth the attention of the
listener. John Shearer is also
loaded with stories based on and ,
which occurred during “our
late unpleasantness” and it is a
warm subject with him.

Among those who attended the
change of venue case in which
two negroes, one living at Augus
ta the other one staying out at
( lias. Hamer’s were the drama
tae personae, and which was to
have been tried before Esq. An
gelo last Monday, we note the
Messrs. Mills, Kittrell, Berry,
Elmo Carlee, Summers, Stanley,
Sote Buchanan and II. Leisinger.
Due to the absence of one im
portant witness the case was
postponed to Monday, August 5.
Last Monday quite a little talk
was created in our town anent
the death of one Ferguson, who
left Newport, Ark., in a very fee
ble condition, and who was osten
sibly on his way to the Jnd. Ter.,
which death occured at or near
the water tank at Riverside. It
is said of Ferguson that for
sometime he has been residing at
Newport and recently had a se
vere attack of slow fever from
which he was just recovering
when he started out on his trip
to the territory. He was in such
a feeble condition when he start
ed out on his journey that several
of the citizens at Newport had to
almost carry him to the train and
place him in a seat. In other
words the man was far from be
ing able to stand a trip to the ter
ritory. Of course, as is custom
ary in a case of this kind several
hypothesis were presented to the
ever eager public; one was a sup
position that poison was admin
istered to the patient hypoder
mically. This is said to be sub
stantiated by the patient, who
exclaimed several times that a
certain doctor had injected ar
senic into his system. However,
little credance is placed on this
statement and the general sup
position is that he died of a feeble
constitution brought on by over
exertion. His body was taken
on down to Brinkley and then re
turned to Newport for inter
ment.
