farm work was greatly retarded,
and crops are very weedy and
need sunshine and dry weather,
i Cotton has not all been planted;
the stand is generally good, but
some is dying from excessive
moisture and the crop is making
i slow progress owing to lack of

some portions of the state and
needs cultivation generally.
Oats, wheat and potatoes are
doing well, although there is

Apples continue dropping in
I many northwestern sections, and
■ the present indications are that
the crop will be somewhat below
s the average; other fruit crops
• are doing well, but excessive
rains in the northern portion of

The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there
is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to
cure in all its stages, and that is
catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is
' the only positive cure now known
’ to the medical fraternity. Ca
: tarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional
' treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
II is taken internally, acting direct

disease and giving the patient

Where, oh where, have our little
bills gone,
The bills that Jeff has been nurS'
ing so long,
Oh where, oh where car
they be?
Those unenrolled bills, twentj
or more, that have been held bj
Gov. Davis since the adjourn
ment of the legislature, hav<
not yet made their appearance ir
the office of the secretary o:
state, and the house committe<
on enrolled bills is thereby beinj
deprived of its opportunities t<
perform the duties enjoined upoi
it. The twpnty days during
which the bills may be retainec
by the governor after adjourn
ment, excluding Sundays, ex
pij-ed Saturday, but still the gov
ernor is holding on to them. Then
is a rumor that when they an
returned to the office of the sec
retary of state they will already
have been enrolled. It is th<
governor’s avowed purpose t<
prevent the committee fron
getting its hands on the covetet
bills.—Little Rock Gazette.

PLEASANT SOCIAL EVENT.
During the siege of rain am
high water that has been visit
ing us, the friends of Mrs
Samuel Taggart have waitei
anxiously and in fear lest the oh
gobbler that has been fattening
for lo these many months shouh
stray off into the pasture am
get ruined, for he just wouldn’
stay in the barn lot, and th
pasture was full of ditches am
holes.
But on Monday when the tele
phone bells jingled the suspens
was over and a number of womei
joyfully accepted the invitatioi
to come to Mrs. Taggart’s prett;
East Side home on Tuesday fo
a regular oldfashioned “com'
and spend the day” party. Am
how grateful they were to hel]
' eat that gobbler.
| There was music, conversatioi
land turkey, roast pig, fresl
; vegetables, salads, apple pie
! buttermilk, ice cream, cake, coo
breezes, fancy work and every
thing to make the day delightful
In the afternoon Mrs. Tag
gart’s mother, Mrs. Laura Dills
brought in a tablet and pencil:
and every guest wrote a lette:
bearing messages of love and re
membrances to Mrs. Joe Walker
the absent daughter and siste:
who has made her home in fa:
off New Mexico for the past tw<
years. So e months ago whil<
Mrs Walker was visiting ir
Newport she was the honoree o:
a reception given by her ter
cousins, and the dinner Tuesday
was given by these same cousins
with a few intimate friends in
vited. The guests had als<
learned the day was Mrs. Tag
gart’s birthday anniversary, an<
she was in consequence th<
recipient of some very pretty
gifts, among them a handsorm
cut glass bowl from her guest
of honor.

hostess and Mrs. Dills, were
