Seasonable Thoughts About Boys’ Needs.
We are well aware of the exacting requirements
which constitute correct dress for Boys, and our
exhibit of practical styles as well as the most
extreme novelties in designs are the creations of
the foremost talent in boys’ tailoring, the show
ing of Spring Fashions are authentic, original
and attractive; the effects so winning they irre
sistibly appeal to a sense of the beautiful.
There is a wide difference in Boys’ clothes; but
here you do not speculate; the fabrics are the
newest, the workmanship is the finest money
can obtain—there is an absolute insurance of
satisfaction here now, and always.

That
“Tired
Feeling”
It is often joked about, but the condi
tion itself is no joke. It indicates
serious derangement of the blood and
nervous 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. Ik* your best this year by giv
ing nature a little help.

PINE BLUFF WEATHERS STORM.
Dark Cloud Came Near Causing Panic
Among Negroes Left Behind—
State Militia Held In Readiness
—Prophetess Returns To
Her Home City.
Pine Bluff, May 29.—The Jefferson
Guards, Pine Bluff’s military company
of the Arkansas state guard, received
notice today that they must be ready
on call to protect the property of the
refugees who have fled to avoid the
anticipated storm. However, the
company was not called into action
today.
The morning hours passed without
any occasion for alarm, but in the
early afternoon large black clouds
gathered, and news of a storm in Lit
tle Rock was heard with much inter
est. On every street anxious watch
ers could be seen, studying the clouds,
and the tew negroes who remained
here were greatly alarmed. There
will be many people who will watch
throughout the night, if the weather
does not sufficiently clear to give
them relief.
Should Ellen Burnett Jefferson fail
to pull off her “hurricane” tonight,
there will be many negro and white
refugees who will feel unkindly to
ward her.
Throughout the afternoon the refu
gees have been besieging the tele
phone and telegraph operators at
points where they have fled, asking
hourly bulletins about the weather
conditions in Pine Bluff.
There was nothing doing in the po
lice court this morning, thanks to the
exodus of negroes and illiterate
whites.

credited negro prophetess was re
leased late Friday afternoon from the
Pulaski county jail and left that
evening for Pine Bluff. When asked
to explain why her prophecy had not
been fulfilled, she said that was not
for her to tell as it was the Lord’s
business and it was at His command
that the warning was given.

GRANDIN MILLS CLOSED.
The large saw mills at Grandin,
Missouri, on the Frisco railroad have
been closed down on account of dif
ferences between the employers and
laborers. The latter sought to organ
ize, and the leaders of the movement
were discharged and the closing down
of the mills threatened.
The Frisco trainmen then informed
the company that if they compelled
the union to dissolve, h )y would not
handle their freight. As a result tne
mills have been closed down, throw
ing about 175 men out of work.
RAINS MAY CAUSE
DISASTROUS RISE.
White river was on a stand at 19.4
feet Saturday, but the recent rains
threaten disaster to the lowland crops.
While the local guage shows a rainfall
of slightly over an inch for the past
two days, reports thus far indicate a
much heavier precipitation in the hill
country. At Fayetteville on the head
waters of White, 1.46 inches of water
fell Thursday night.
Farmers assert that if the rains keep
them from the fields much longer, the
grass and weeds will have secured
such a growth, the cotton can never
be cleaned.
SLOT MACHINE CRUSADE.
Judge Duffey Issues a Sweeping Order
to Sheriff Williams at Hot Springs
For Burning of Slot Machines.
* ________
Hot Springs, Ark., May 29.—A sen
sation was created in the city yester
day afternoon when it became known
that Judge Duffey of the Circuit Court
had issued a sweeping order to Sheriff
Williams to search for and burn every
slot machine now being operated in
the city. The proprietors of the slot
machines heard of the order immedi
ately after it was issued and a great
scramble followed to get the machines
out of the way before the sheriff lo
cated them. Information of the ex
istence of the gambling devices was
filed with Judge Duffey by Rev. J. W.
McDonald. Quite a number of the
machines were found by the sheriff,
and the burning of them will take
place publicly on the street in com
pliance with the order of the court.

invitations will be issued to friends in
the city.
Miss Adams, who is a saleslady at
the Wolff-Goldman Mercantile Com

and those traits of high character,

the employ of O. M. Bowen, is an ex"
cellent young man of industry and in
tegrity, whom we congratulate in ad
vance.
