MRS. HAU'S MIRACLE — Experience Similar to This Hive Occasioned Considerable Comment in Decatur. Few women are better known in Lockport, N. Y., than Mrs. Fattie D.! Hal), as she belongs to one of the beat families and has a la r ge circle of biends and acquaintances In a re-. cent interview Mrs Hal I said: ■The experience I have iteeu through in the last two j ears seems \ liae a miracle. I was so badly off that life seemed almost unendurable. I and my deafness increased so that I cotild scarcely hear anything. The 1 suffocation in my chest and the it di-| geetion caused by mv catarrh pro-, duced very severe suffering. I had i five different physicians, bought every-1 thing that anybody recommended to me. but finally gave up in despair. “Oneday my milliner asked me if I had ever tried Hyomei. I began the treatment, and can thankfully testify that Hyomei does cure this terrible disease. Since using ii my hearing i« great!v improved,and the only time I have anv catarrhal trouble is when I take cold. I then use Hvotnei. and 1 always get instant relief. My friends and acquaintances marvel at the change in mv health and hearing.” Hyomei has made many cures of catarrh, and in connection with Hyomei balm, of catarrhal deafness, in Decatur. Similar experience to that of Mm. Hall’s have created a large sale for Hyomei with the Holthouse Drug Co. The complete outfit, including th« inhaler, coats but SI. while extra l»ottles are but 50 cents. Ask Holthouse Drug Co. to show you the strong guarantee under which they sell Hyomei. Mrs Ezra Catting, residing at First street, who has severely suff ered from jaundioe the past live weeks, is now convalescing. Mrs. John W. Tyndall ontert lined at a dinner party at high noon today. Mrs. Cotton of Shelbyville, was the honored guest.

SUNNY SOUTH Mr. and Mrs. D. N. Erwin Seeing the Sights Meeting Many Former Alarm County People and Having a Pleasant Time. This beautiful evening finds us in Cardwell, Missouri, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. McConnell, who for the past seven year* have resided here. We have been wandering about through the sunny South for near two months, have visited the city of Jonesboro and found all where we were interested well and ( happy, prosperous and best of all contented. We spent some ver y pleasant hours aronnd the fireside of Fred Falk. Tone Holthouse. , Bert Lvnch, Masons. Ben Pi liar a and others who seem always anxious to make u plea ant for all who visit their city or homes We , also camped for a short time. "pay- ( ing the price of a long stay” inside ( of the city limits of Hot Springs. ( We saw the great tire and much of , the city’s wealth reduced t» as hi s 1 1 and many an unfortunate family I, rendered homeless and penniless. | lam not sup»rstitious, but after looking into some of the workings ( of this city and visiting the tA A e j track and what they politely turn , the clubs, I said s >me calamity , will befall this city some day, but , I did not expect to witness it, and , whether it has been especially dis- ' ( igned or not I can no* say, nor , does it matter, but the great dread , of the future or the sign of the In- t fernao h.is come to them in an aw- 1 fui form. We have also visited r Little Rock the capital, and was s inside the old ancient state build- a ing erected in 1833, and by the { way a million dollar state house # is now ab u cre third completed. , but it will take at least throe years 1 1 more to complete it. We had the ( pleasure of mee'ing the illustrious |, Governor Jeff D.vis. and the scs- , sion of the legislature while in session, which is open to all the , public, no doorkeepers being on t duty one wg <ant at arms doing , the work cirresp nding to th -1 | multitude .if do irkeepors in In- , diana We f. und Governor Jeffer- ) son as th< y style him, a very jiolite j gentleman, answering his own ( calls and willing to gel up f ora , bis after dinner nap to meet callers. Dr. Morgan who was with us, whimpered in his ear as we ! left that we hoped he w<>ul i snen ( land in the U. 8 senate, which he ans vered with a b'Oid sniilsl' and “I atn doing my bes\” He is serving his third term as gov ernor, and is extremely p>pil ir with the masses and unpopular with t’’> cl i-'ei ail nH‘toaricy. 'Ho divulged to us t e feet that he was a warm snppirter of B 'ysn | We left him and his, v i h the hope that bis anihi'ion migut he gratj fled, and belie ing he will be useful in any pditiod Oipmity. It. mty seem strange to sp lak of spending happv hours around the fireside or by the red hot “Wihkon Heater" in the sunny South, but such has been our experience, and

it must hive liecn expected, j "though ’em severe.” for then* who provide for da vs ahend** hid large stacks of good dry wood on hand ani h«ating st >ves th it h.id heen used before, this wi-rer mast have been an exception, for at times the sleighing was go >d and the temjierature was at zero and below, the style of sleds and sleighs would clearly indicate the unexpected had happened, as we did not see anything like an np to date sleighing ont tit, but the eagerness and delight which they indu'ged in the sleigh ride would indicate that it was a luxury seldom enjoyed and at Hot Springs a gas pipe runner sleigh would oimmin I as high as |5 an hour. Snow shovels are not on the market but the hot wine, the hot tomala man and the "blind tiger" are open book and a song often sung “Moonshine" is not in evidence, hut is substituted by the worst brands of “forty rod” rot gut Indian fighting whiskey, and for this business one man paid ovi r |6OO in flies last week in the Jones-

boro courts an t others in proportion. But tn spite of all the ex treme winter and accidents we have had many happv hours, days of sunshine, snow storms, heavy rains, high waters, mud and zero weather, with nights of happy dreams of home and oold feet, waking in th* morning to face a red hot sheet iron stove and breakfast of hot biscuits and cotton seed butter or hot muffins always in wailing in large quantities. Hone discouragement* have faced u*. but sunshine his always come out of the clouds and whenever we got stranded some good friend came to the rescue and loaned us a few more. At this place we had the good fortune to meet the president, general manager and ull the officials of lhe Paragould A’ Memphis railroad ard their wives and other friends of theirs. We were invited by them and the conductor to join them on a trip over the entire system, which we did. We were told not to bring anv provisions as plenty was stored in the dining car. that must be eaten on the trip before returning We boarded the train at the ap pointed hour and after Conductor McConnell counted noses and found all present, tignaled the engineer to launch out on the long journey We rolled through forests of Im rnense timber and slonghs cf wide dimensions passing large farms and small farm houses immense factor! vs and acres of logs and bolts and miles of dry sheets. Fishermen, women and children, hunters and digs cleared the right of way a> we pissed, standing aside or ■ mounting fa stump above high water mark. The grind and Buffalo fish in the streams lay still and the- razorback hogs in ths woods r «i*ed their bristles in detiinoe, the bonv cow slowly moved off the 1 right of way, the long eareel mule: beyed with delight and the natives smiled and spit tobacco juice on the platforms as we pissed. Finally ’he conductor oallcel "Manilla, twenty minutes to see the city." We took advantage of the opportu nity und moved about the city and j saw many mules and oxen, dogs and hogs about the town. Many ' saloon signs, pool rootni in tents 1 and restaurants in the woodsheds, i surro-nded by a vry pr'TtiT’’’? 1 new country and very fertile soil 1 Oa our nt irn the last toll for din ! net in the dining oar was at Geneva,' the business home of Di. Neptune. . The dly being warm and pleasant it was agreed that the dinner be sp -ead on the doctor’s hilt piles, which the ladies soon di I. and it took a good lot < f bolts and two wde cotton wood boards to hold the r-f eshments aboard thia train. Dr. Neptune seemed to he the guest nf honor and in the language of the Hoosier pt eachcr, says, "This is a luxury 1 bad not exptced to enjoy."

THE COMMON SPARROW. R* la No« Alwari <h» Va«*> boa«l He la l-alale*. The house «parrow ha* been called a nuisance, a atreet gamin, a vagn'.iond. n thief, a robtier. and this by umuy so culled bird lovers, yet. In my opinion, he Is one of our most tntorsstlng birds. He la lively, bright, thrifty and brave. No one. n >t even hl* worst enemy, can gal tinny Ulla, lie I* al*u ever ready to help hi* own Lind out of any dltfitulty Into which they mny fall. One day. !»• I «li wnlklng up street pnat a large mill where downs of sparrows wen- collected, I saw amnething which ha* much Increased my esteem for the »o cnlhH, little street gamin. It win in ncsthu' time, and young bird* hardly able to fly were quite common. A* I walked on my attention was attracted by one of these In the middle of the road alone. He wns sitting there and every little while giving out a little disconsolate chirp While I was watching him a delivery cart enm* down the street at full speed. Tlie youug bird was likely to ' Be crushed, but I was not the only ob- i server of Its diatßSM. As I watched atiout n dor.cn sparrows flew down and ' gathered round it. I didn’t know what win going to happen for the minute | but 1 wm soon enlightened. The flt M-k i of netveon ers fairly bustled the little one out of the way of the oncoming cart and into the safety of the ditch I don’t know exactly how they did It, they moved so quickly, but 1 think It was In the same way that a man 1* carried onward In a crowd. He help* himself a little, and the people around him sweep liim forward. The little incident clearly showed that sparrows are not always as selfish and unfeeling as they are pointed - Aiuaieur Sportsman.

HOW HOMES ARE lOST. They let their Insurance run o’Jt. They bought tliiugs they did not need because they were cheap. They subscriN-d for everything they could (Miy for on the installment plan. The father always iutended to get Lis life insured, but died without doing so. They did not realize how easy IL ’» to get into debt and how Lard it is to get out. Money enough went down in drinli and up in smoke io have saved the home. They tried to do what others expected of them rather than what they could aUard.

Taking up the paper, he turned to the woman’s page nnd started with the first article that attracted his attention. It wns by a distinguished medical authority on the subject of correct breathing and began: •‘As a means for preventing wrinkles in the face it is certain that the practice of keeping tl.e mouth shut Is one of the must positive." “That will do. sir!” she snapped. “I asked to be entertained, not to be Insulted.”—New York I’ress. Meta! Follmli. Take eight ounces of Spanish whiting. which must be perfectly free from grit, and put iu one quart of gasoline Shake up the whiting and gasoline thoroughly. You will notice the whit ing settles immediately, leaving the liquid as clear as water. To remedy this and, further, to make it a better polishing agent, ndd to each quart of the mixture thirty-two drops of oleic acid—no more, no less. Shake again, and the whiting will not settle.

This last process melts the small quantity of rosin which I* deposited on the cloth and leaves each single fiber with nn exceedingly tfclu film of rosin on It. Few Prayers.
