“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. Be your best this year by giv
ing nature a little help.

BOTH RIVERS RISING.
White And Black Rivers Show Indi
cations Of Heavy Rige—Further
Rains In Hills Increase Danger
From Swollen Streams.
Reports from points on the Upper
White and Black rivers promise this
section a stage of the river probably
as high as during the early March
overflow. Devero on the Upper
White sends news of a heavy rain,
which was still falling Tuesday morn
ing. The river there rose ten feet
during the night and at Batesville the
slow rise of several days past con
tinues.
Black river will further augment this
flood of water from the hills. At
Lockhart’s Landing, a rise of 22 inches
was marked for Monday night and at
Elgin an even foot, but continuing at
the rate of an inch every hour.
The Newport guage shows a rise of
one foot standing at 21.4, but the lat
ter part of the week will probably see
an overflow very nearly equal to that
of March. Should these fears be real
ized, large areas of planted crops
would be ruined, for when the danger
line of 26 feet is reached the river in
many places spreads out for miles and
overflows vast lowland sections.
IN MEMORIAM.
Henry Ward Kennedy, the little son
of Captain and Mrs. O. H. Kennedy,
drowned Saturday, May 30, 1903, was
born in Peoria, Illinois, April 3, 1891,
and spent most of his short life in his
native state, coming to Arkansas with
his parents in 1901. He was a very
lovable child and made friends rapidly
and when once made seemed to grap
ple them to him with hooks of steel;
for always when out on a trip his
great anjbition was to reach Newport
again, where he would meet his little
friends.
In the summer of 1902 he made the
“good confession” and united with
the Christian church in Newport, and
how well he loved his church was
shown by his devotion to it. One of
his last hopes was, that the boat would
reach Newport in time for him to at
tend Sunday school the next day.
Henry is gone, but though dead he
yet speaks; he has ceased from his
labors; his work is to follow after
him. His mission can not be ended
while his father’s home remains a
part of the whole family, both in
heaven and on earth. His Father said
to him, “It is enough thou hast done
on earth; come to your heavenly
home, that your father, mother, play
mates and many others may realize
that heaven is near the earth, and also
that they may be lead to know, by
thy presence on high, that heaven has
attractions that they knew not of be
foie thou didst enter its wide open
__
UUUl .
He was an only child and his heart
broken parents have the loving sym
pathy of all who knew and loved
Henry and of many whose hearts go
out to all who mourn.
“I will not mock thee with the poor
world’s common
And heartless praise,
Nor wrong the memory of the sainted
With idle praise.
With silence only as their benediction,
God’s angels come
Where, in the shadow of a great af
fliction,
The soul sits dumb!
Yet, would I say what thy own heart
approveth:
Our Father’s will,
Calling to Him the doar one whom He
loveth,
Is mercy still.
God calls our loved ones, but we lose
not wholly
What He hath given;
They live on earth, in thought and
deed, as truly
As in His heaven.”
A Friend.
COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
At the meeting of the council Mon

The matter of removing electric
light and telephone wires and poles

The former will also visit her sister at
S. F. I.
RAILROAD ASSESSMENTS
\ RAISED BY BOARD.
The state board of railroad assessors,
which is composed of Governor Davis,
Secretary of State Crockett and Au
ditor Monroe, at a meeting Monday
afternoon, raised the assessment of all
railroads, telegraph, telephone, ex
press and sleeping car companies 20
per cent and the ta$: valuation of four
railroads 100 per cent. The Iron
Mountain already stood at $14,000 per
mile; the Cotton Belt was raised from
$8,500 per mile to the same as the
Iron Mountain; the C. O. & G. from
$7,500 per mile to the same figure; the
Frisco from $10,000 to the same fig
ure, and the Kansas City Southern
from $7,500 per mile to the same fig
ure, which was $14,000 per mile for all
these lines. After this there was a
general raise of 20 per cent on these
five railroads. Evidently the railroads
are in for it this year. The Memphis
bridge was raised from $750,000 to
$1,000,000.
