I.vp.ok Sweet Potatoes.—We were
handed on yesterday week, by Mr.
Geo. Vaden, of this place, four of (lie
first and finest sweet potatoes we have
seen this year. The largest of them
weighed 0*0 and one-half pounds, the
smallest over one pound. These po
tatoes were raised by Mr. Vaden in

patch without any effort to obtain the
largest. Pretty good—especially the
potatoes. Can any of our friends tio

To Advertisers.—Our paper lias

of any paper in tlie State, with tlie ex
ception of those published at Little
ltock. This alone should recommend
it to the attention of those merchants
who desire to securo the trade of the
White river valley; hut aside from
this it litis been published for*1 car fif
teen years in one of the richest sections
of the State, and now lias a greater
number of subscribers and enjoys as
good a reputation ns it has ever done
heretofore. The Citizen has now at
least five thousand readers, embracing
nearly the whole of the White river
country, and a greater portion of that
depending upon the White and its
tributaries for transportation of sup
plies. It is now in n more prosperous
condition than ever before, and we
confidently expert to extend its circu
lation and influence into every cornet
of the State.
RIVER HEWS, WEATHER, ETC
Tlie weather that lias been so long
raiuv, soems to have changed for the
better, and we are now likely to liavc
* what we begin to need, a little dry
spell. It is ratlier hard to predict:
from tlie reports we have, how tlie cot
ton crop will turu out. The weed is
large and full of bolls to tho top, bul
may not mature and open well. There
Is no insects. Farmers seem satisfied
that there will be a fair yield.
The river lias risen about teu feet
and is now in splendid boating coudi
lion. We will hardly have anything
like low water again this season.

I.t:i s Agi e Toxic. This is the host remedy
known for Chills, Fever and iutermittents in
Itnv form: now is the season for this dia
■ tressing complaint. It has never been known
to fail to effect a cure, no matter of how tong
| standing, if used by directions, where all
i other remedies have failed. It is purely veg
! etablv. and no bad effects from over dosing
need he feared—buy one bottleand get cured
Also, Hurley's Worm Candy for children, is
the best and moat pleasant known ; any child
will take it. Hurley’s Bitters is the most
pleasant as well as the purest and best now
known or ottered for sale; and for debility,
loss of appetite, cannot he equaled. Also,
for purifying the blood, nothing equals l>r.
Hurley's Comp. Syrup of Sarsaparilla, this
is the genuine extract of the root. Dr. Sea
brooks Soothing Syrup for childreit is war
ranted the best anti safest remedy known, or
tbe money refunded—price 'ducts, per bottle.
Also, his Klixir of Iron and Bark, especially
for females it is one of the best Touioe known,
aud ploussn! and easily taken ; not like other
remedies of the kind, it does not sicken or
nauseate. If you reed any of the above
remedies try them, os we feel confident tboy
will do all tve claim for them ; they are gotten
' up by men of experience and good chemists.

TEXAS TONIC SYRUP!
A Vegetable Compound, for the Rapid and
Permanent Cure of
Chill* and Fever, or Fever and
Ague, Hu nib Ague, In ter mil
ieu! and ItemfMen! Fevers,
Jaundice anil Enlargement
or the Spleen, or Agile
Cake.
Having had indubitable evidence of it.:
prompt and certain effects from the testimo
ny of n multitude of respectable citizens,
autong whom are classed some of our best
physicians, we do not hesitate to recommend
this Preparation in all cases of Fever and
Ague and Chills and Fever: indeed, from the
facts in our possession of its intrinsic value,
it would not be too much for us to state that
when the directions are strictly complied
with, wo warrant a cure in every case where
it is tried. It is pleasant to the taste, and
the eneapest meuiciuo in me worm, mere
fore, in truth, it may be declared the day is
not far distant when it must be appreciated
and used in every household where Fever and
Ague or Chills and Fever is found to exist.
The wonderful operation of the Texas Ton
ic Syrup-in neutralizing the effects of mala
rious poison in the human system, can only
explain its extraordinary agency in the
speedy, thorough and permanent cure of
Chills and Fever or Fever and Ague, and all
their kindred diseases, in whatever form ot
llilious Complaints they mnv make their ap
pearance.
As its name imports, it is a Ti nie of rare
and medicinal virtues, composed of pure and
harmless ingredients, and are so united as to
form a compound alike skillful in art, beau
tiful in appearance, and can bo taken with
safety to the most delicate constitutions. It
is the result of a lifetime of experience and
practice in a Southern climate, and was nev
er known to fail, even where all othe reme
dies had been tried in vain.
Those who are unacquainted with the ex
traordinary properties of this home produc
tion, manufactured from Root' and Plants
indigenous to the soil of our “sunny South,
(and hence adapted to the cure of Southern
climatic disease:) are respectfully referred
to the certificates of respectable citizens
whose names are embraced in a pamphlet
which accompanies each bottle; also the en
dorsements of the press in all the Southern
States, indicating the many thousand cures
already performed by our justly celebrated
Texas Tonic Syrup.
The reports from hundreds of Druggists,
Merchants and Dealers, from nil parts of the
country, arc uniform in stating the medicine
is safe, certain and reliable, as a substitute
for Quinine and the poisonous compounds
heretofore generally sold, and is rapidly
supplanting everything of this class.
As a home enterprise it especially com
mends itself to the people ol this section ot
the country, who are now struggling in an
effort to do away with old prejudices in favor
of foreign produce, and may we not hope
foreign “Quack Nostrums,” the proprietors
of which, in most cases, are governed by no
thing but mercenary motives, know nothing
of the properties of Medicinal Agents, aud
care nothing for our interests, except to en
tice our people into the use of their vile
mixtures.
The Texas Tonic Syrup is packed in cases
of two dozen.
Dealers supplied upon better terms than
any other remedy affords.

Dr. Joiik Bull—Dear Sir: Last February
T was in Louisville purchasing drugs, and I
eot some of your Sarsaparilla and Cedron

My son-in-law who was with me in the

I know of no remedy recommended 1\v the;
ablest authors that is so certain and speedy ,
in its effects. On the contrary they are tin- 1
certcain in the extreme. My object in writ- j
ing you is to find upon what terms 1 can get 1
the medicine directly from you. If 1 can get j
it upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of
it. 1 am aware that the use of such articles !
is contrary to the teachings and practice of a
great majority of the regular line of M. lb’s, j
but l see no just cause or good sense in dis- i
carding a rented} which we know to be eftl- ;
cient, simply because we may be ignorant of i
its combination. For my part, 1 shall make j
it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate !
suffering humanity which 1 may be able to J
command—not hesitating because some one \
more ingenious than myself may have learned I
its effects first, anil secured the sole right to j
secure that knowledge. However, 1 am by i
no means an advocate or supporter of the i
thousands of worthless nostrums that flood
the country, that purport to cure all manner
of disease to which human flesh is heir.
Please reply soon, and inform me of your
best terms. 1 am, sir. most respectfully,

I)a. John Bin.—Dear Kir: Knowing the
efficiency of your Sarsaparilla, and the heal
ing and beneficial qualities it possesses, I
send you the following statement of my case.
I was woundc# about two years ago—was
taken prisoner and confined for sixteen
mouths. Being moved so often, my wounds
have uot healed yet I have not sat up a
moment since J was wounded. I am shot
through the hips. My general healtli is im

Dr. Bi ll—Dear Sir: My husband. Dr. C.

your Sarsaparilla. It Ci'kkp Him. I have
for ten years recommended it to many in •
New York, Ohio, aud Iowa, for scrofula, fe- !

some cases of scrofula and fever sores mere almost !
miraculous. I am very anxious for iny son j
to again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla.
He is fearful of getting a spurious article,

CHILLS & FEVER.
The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
justly claims for it a superiority over all
remedies ever offered to the public for the
safe, certain, speed;/, and permanent euro of
Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether
of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and South-western country
to bear him testimony to the truth of the as
sertion, that in no case whatever will it fail
to euro, if the directions are strictly followed
and carried out. In a great many cases a
single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and
whole families have been cured by a single
bottle, With a perfect restoration of the gen
eral health. It is, however, prudent, aud in
every case more certain to cure, if its use is
continued in smaller doses for a week or two
after the disease has been checked, more es
pecially in difficult and long-standing cases,
j Usually, this medicine will not require any
aid to keep the bowels in good order: should
j the patient, however, require a cathartic
| medicine, after having taken three or four
j doses of the Tonic, a single dose of HULL’S
| VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will bo suffi
j cient.

giirlcu’s j&ttfaptmUft,
OF all the remedies that have been disco'*- i
ered during flip present age for the’’thousand
ills that flesh is heir to.” none equal this won
derful preparation. Only ten years have
elapsed since the discoverer, (who spent a
decade in studying experiments, and perfect -
ing it.) first introduced it to the public, and
it is already recognized by the iiioh eminent
physicians in all parts of the country to be
the most surprising and effective remedy for
certain diseases of which they have knowl
edge.
All other Compounds or Syrups of this root
have hitherto failed to command the sanction
of tho Faculty, because, on being tested, they
have been found to contain noxious ingredi
ents, which neutralize the goo 1 effects of the
Sarsaparilla, auc oftentimes injure the health
of the patient, h is not so with Hurley’s
preparation.
This is the pure and genuine extract of the
root and will, on trial, be found to effect a
certain and perfect cure of the following coni
plaints and diseases:
