That
“Tired
Feeling”
It is often joked about, but the condi
tion itself is no joke. It indicates
serious derangement of the blood and
lervous system.
People can’t help feeling lazy and worn
out if impure blood flowing through all
the organs is poisoning them and para
lyzing their activity.
Spring is the season of blood impurity.
Nine people out of ten would feel better
through use of
SELLS’ SARSAPARILLA.
This is a blood purifier that really puri
fies. Pure rich blood means buoyant
health. Be your best this year by giv
ing nature a little help.

NEGROES PANIC-STRICKEN.
Commercial Establishments Of Pine
Bluff Closed On Account of Hegira
—Prophetess Now Languishes
In Jail.
Pine Bluff, May 26.—As the time
draws nigh for the day (next Friday)
when, so the negress, Ellen Burnett
Jefferson, says Pine Bluff will be
struck by a terrific cyclone, the vari
ous commercial and other interests of
the city more keenly feel the influence
of the woman’s words. Several es
tablishments have already closed and
others will close tomorrow on ac
count of lack of employes. The Jeff
erson woman is in jail and will be
taken to the asylum as soon as prac
ticable.
Through the neighboring counties
the country people have become ex
cited over the affair and a number of
them have visited Pine Bluff and
withdrawn their money from the
banks. Wild stories are increasing
each day and it is hardly probable
that one-half of one per cent of the
negro population of the city will be in
Pine Bluff Friday. With them de
parting will also be many white peo
ple, who will not return until after
Friday.

MINING MACHINERY ARRIVES.
The White River Mining and Im
provement Company has unloaded
several carloads of machinery at Im
boden this week, which will be hauled
to some point near Smithville. The
lot consists of a crusher, sieves, jigs,
jams and rams, and all other strong
things that go to make up a 100-ton
crusher. A boiler and engine and
lumber for a house comes with it. Mr.
Chapman is the resident agent of this
company. With the introduction of
such machinery it is proper to con
clude that something is to be done.
Seven other carloads of similar ma
chinery was unloaded at Hardy and
sent south by teams to the mines.—

SECOND CANVASS TO BE MADE.
Newport, Ark., May 26, 1903.
The Bracy Confectionery Co.,
Newport, Ark.
Gentlemen:—In reply to your com- j
rnunication asking whether or not a i
day electric service would be put in
and when, we beg to say that we have
not been able to interest the citizens
of Newport sufficiently in the day ser
vice to make it possible for us to furn
ish one.
Our solicitor has been trying for a
month or more to work up a list of
subscribers for the day current but he
has not been able to secure more than
thirty-five names, and in no instance!
would any subscriber sign a contract
for the season beginning May 1 and
ending September 1.
It will be necessary for us to have at
least fifty subscribers who will sign a
contract to use the day current for
three months—that is, from Jun i to
September 1—before we can start a
day current. Even with this number
we will have to operate the plant at a
loss of over §60 per month, but we fig
ure that when we have installed this
number of fans we will have no trou
ble in getting a sufficient number of
subscribers to secure us against loss.
We will send our solicitor out again
before the first of June, and if he can
secure the fifty subscribers to the day
current who will contract to use it un
til September 1, we will start the ser
vice June 1.
The price will be §3.50 per month
for a twelve inch desk fan and §4.50
per month for a ceiling fan.
Very truly yours,
Pond-Decker Electric Light Co.
JOE WHEELER BARGE
SINKS WITH CARGO.
The barge of the Gen. Joe Wheeler
sunk a few days ago at Keene’s camp,
between Buffalo and McBees, with 60t)
kegs of powder and a lot of dynamite.
The cargo was valued at about $1,500
and is almost a total loss. The explo
sives belonged to railroad contractors.
The report received here is that the
barge was sunk while the boat was
tied up at night, by the rising river
catching the barge under a tree lean
ing over the water.—Batesville Bee.
W. J. Erwin of Batesville was here
Wednesday to try and induce Miss
Nellie Merriweather to return to her
home in Batesville. She came to New
port with a man named Lutie Arnold
of Jonesboro, and on Wednesday
morning the two secured a marriage
license of the county clerk, leaving on
No. 4 for Jonesboro, where, they stat
ed, they expected to be married. Mr.
Erwin came down on the local, but
was too late to intercept them.
Judge Jacob Trieber, District Attor
ney Wm. Whipple, United States Mar
shal A. S. Fowler, Jno. M. Clayton and
U. S. Bratton, all federal court offi
cials, came down from Batesville
Tuesday evening, after completing a
hearing of the docket in two days.
Judge Trieber says that nearly every
term shows a falling off in the number
of cases in this division of the district.
The negro boy who robbed the post
office at Walnut Ridge entered a plea
of guilty and was sentenced to one
year in the penitentiary.
United States Marshal U. G. Cope
land of Helena was here Tuesday eve
ning on his return home from Bates
ville. While on the train he was
asked to break up a crap game then
going on in the negro coach. Enter
ing as if to arrest the participants, one
pegro followed his natural impulse
and took to his heels, jumping from
the train just as it reached the east
bank. Mr. Copeland says that the
negro would have jumped into the
river had he been a few seconds
earlier.

has been subscribed. The officers are
J. C. Floyd president, J. F. Davis
vice-president, Flora A. Layton sec
retary, cashier and treasurer, and
Walter E. Layton assistant cashier.
The owners of mines in the north
part of the county are getting ready
to begin to operate their properties
as soon as the railroad gets near
enough to enable them to profitably
ship their ore. And while prepara
tions are thus being made for active
work on the developed properties of
the district, a number of new pros
pects are being discovered and the
visible riches of the country are
continually growing stronger.—Yell
ville Echo.
