TEMPERATURE SEASONAL.
Much Progress in Crop Cultiva
tion Made the Past Week
Grains Doing Well.
Following is the weather and
crop report concerning Arkansas
! for the week ending May 31:
The temperature was seasonal
during the week, with light scat
I tered showers. All farm opera
j tions were carried on without in
terference and crops are as a rule
free from weeds and, while not
suffering from lack of moisture,
are beginning to need rain.
Cotton made good progress;
the early planted is being worked
out and in the southern portion
chopping out is well advanced.
The late planted and that which
was replanted is generally com
ing up to good stands, although
i in some sections there is some
that is not up, as the ground is
too dry for germination.
Corn is growing nicely and is
generally in good condition. It
is well cultivated and in some
sections in the southern portion
has been worked out the third
time. The stalk is generally
small, but healthy and of good
color.
Irish potatoes are doing well.
In some sections they are being
harvested and good yields se
cured.
Wheat, oats and other small
grains are doing nicely.
Pastures and gardens are gen
erally in good condition, but
would be benefited by rain.
Apples and peaches continue
to promise an average yield.
Blackberries are abundant and
are beginning to ripen.
JACKSONPORT.
Questions asked and answered
in and|about Jacksonport.
What kind of a time did the
people have at the ice cream
supper last Friday night? Well
now, that is a pretty hard ques
tion to answer and be positive
that you are telling strictly the
truth, and you know I do not
care to prevaricate; but I can
didly believe the majority of
those present had an excellent
time; of course some fellow may
have taken possession of some
other fellow’s best girl, and one
of the two probably did not en
iov himself. This I do not know
to be a fact, but I merely stated
that it possibly happened. Then,
again, for others it passed off as
anticipated, so they were over
joyed.
I want all of our friends to re
member that on Friday night,
June 3, there is going to be a
grand ball given at Jacksonport.
So now boys get yourselves ready
and bring all the girls you can.
There has been the very best
music arranged for, so we hope
to have an enjoyable time till
the wee sma’ hours drive us home
ward.
Is there much business being
transacted in Jacksonport? Oh,
yes indeed, those that are not
sawmilling, farming, steamboat
ing or fishing, are whittling up
that historic bench in front of
“Sweet Potato Bob’s” place of
business, and from present ob
servations we would presume
that a new one will have tob e
furnished in the very near fu
ture. That’s right, boys, don’t
be idle if you can find employ
ment.
Can you tell us what has be
come of Rattle Box, You May
Know Who and many other In
dependent correspondents? No,
don’t believe we can answer this
question, but we had about de
cided that they had appeared
before the public till they had
gained fame and were no,w rest
ing in peace on their laurels; this
we do not know, however, but
merely surmised it. But truly
we would like very much to hear
from them again. Now pony up
with your excuses, friends.
Since we have answered all the
questions that have come before
us to the best of our ability, we
will now state a few things we
have heard.
The steamer Welcome came in
Monday with a car of lumber for
points in the noith.
J. M. Gibson was in Newport
attending to business Monday.
Elmo Riddell was in the me
tropolis of Jackson county Mon
day.
The local freight brought in
about twenty cars Monday for
the boats to load; must expect
great business from the river.
Tom Lash was in our city Mon
day. We heard he was after the
tinny tribe, but learned later
that he failed to land a single
one. P* fished in the lake in-'
stead of the river, so that ac
counts for his failure.
The Taylor & Gibson factory is
running, turning out finished
wagon stock.
As we have about exhausted
our supply of information I will
draw out, hoping to see all the
Newport young folks and their
friends as well as those from
surrounding towns at the ball
Friday night, June 3.
Wishing all happiness and
prosperity, I am yours for good- j
fellowship, “Sunny Jim.”

MISS MONIE BOWEY,
No. 38 Perry Street, DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
A couple of winters ago I
slipped on a frozen sidewalk
ana fell flat on my back. On
being examined I found that
I had sustained internal inju
ries which laid me up for more
than two months. After that
I noticed that I had pains in
the back and groin which I
never had before. I doctored
and doctored for several
months but as the pains in
<net«4<4 r\( rrertnrimt I
better I decided that I was not having the
right treatment. Reading in the papers
of the wonderful cures performed by
Wine of Cardui I wrote to one of the
parties and received a very satisfactory
reply and I immediately sent for some.
In a very short time I felt generally better
and after seven weeks faithful use I was
once more well and strong. I have never
had a sick hour since and I daily bless
your splendid medicine.
MONIE BOWEY.
TINE OF CARDUI is one medi
cine that should always be kept
on hand in every home for im
l—“^”J mediate use when female weak
ness first makes its appearance. Miss
Bowey’s painful and dangerous accident
would not have resulted so seriously
had she taken Wine of Cardui promptly.
Wine of Cardui makes wo- '■ /
men more womanly by cur- r
ing their weakness ana mak
ing them stronger. Wine of
Cardui cured Miss Bowey.
As a medicine for all women
in every trying period of
their lives can you think of a
better medicine for yourself,
your sister, your daughter
or your mother ? Can you
think of a more acceptable
nrAsent to irive vour friend
than a bottle of this medicine which
will bring her health and happiness?
You are suffering ? Your dutv is to
rid yourself of this pain. It your
daughter, mother, sister or friend is
sick and in need of relief, your duty is
equally great to them. Many women,
now well, owe their lives to friends
who brought them Wine of Cardui.
Wine of Cardui is adapted to wo
men at any age in any walk of life.
For the working woman it gives her
strength for her tasks ana better
treatment than a doctor for very small
cost.
Your druggist will sell you a $1.00
bottle of Wine of Cardui. Secure the
medicine today. Take it in the privacy
of your home. Relief will come to you
as surely as you take it.
