Arkansas Letter.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
For the last month or two there

appreciated visitor coming to our
home each week. Hie name ie Die* 1
patch from the good old Palmetto
State, where my father, mother,
brothers and sisters are all at rest,
and in reediDg over the Diepatch I
see so maDy names that I knew when
I was a boy and some of them were
my school boys. It causes my mind
to run back and think over my boyhood
days until it brings tears to
my eyes, and when I think of mother
who crossed the dark rolling river
when I was quite a boy, Oh, how
sad I feel!
Mr. Editor, I could not do without
the Dispatch. My son-in-law
sends it to me.
Arkansas is a line country. We
have a Democratic State and a fine
man for Governor. He is filling hia
third term. Hi3 name is Jeff Davis.
We have plenty of schools and
churches. We have a nice little
town in this county. It is the
county site of Grant county and has
one railroad through it. There is
one stove factory, one canning factory,
one saw mill, grist mill, shingle
mill and gin combined. It is a good
healthy place, with good water and
good people to live with. Any man
on the lookout for s locality to locate
and do business will find that this
is the very place he has been looking
for. Come and see.
Mr. Editor, I would like to hear
from some of the old Confederate
boys. Tell them to write to me as
I would be ever so proud to receive
a letter from them. I would like to
come back to dear old Lexington one
time more before I answer the last
?it __n
run can.
Well, I will close by saying that if
this don't find its way to tbe waste
basket I will believe that tbe Dispatch
has not got one. Success to
tbe Dispatch and its many readers.
God bless you all.

A Wonderful Saving.
The largest Methodist church in Georgia,
used 32 gallons of L. & M. mixed with
24 gallons of oil, thus making paint co3t
about $1.20 per gallon They calculated
to use 100 gallons of paint. Saved about
$80.00 and also get a big donation of L. &
M. Dealers gladly fell L. & M., because
their customers call for it, and say they
used it 12, 14 and even 30 years 8go.
Don't pay $1.50 a gallon for linseed oil,
which vcu do in ready-for-use paint.
Buy oil fresh from the barrel at 60 cents
per gallon, and mix it with L. & M. paint,
It makes paint cost about SI.20 per
gallon. Sold by W. P. Roof.
Fertilizer Receipts.
The fertilizer receipts are beginning
to fall off and there has been
very little buying during the month
of May. So far this year the receipts
amount to 8110,412 96 and for the
year 1904 to this date the receipts
amounted to 8100,980.15.
If the Baby is Cutting Teeth,
Be sure aDd use that old and welltried
remedy, Mrs. Winsiow's Soothing
Syrup, for children teething. It
soothes the child, softens the gums,
allays all pain, cures wind colic and
is the beet remedy for diarrhoea.
Twenty-five cents a bottle.
It is the Beet of All.
The Backbone of the Country.
Those people who think it smart to
make sport of the farmer as an individal
(says the Greenville News) must

not forget that he is the backbone of
the country. We couid not get
aloDg without him.While the agricultural
class composes one-half of the
total population, the record shows
that odIj two per cent of the crime
is committed by the man who makes
bis daily bread by the sweat of his
brow in the field. In the South and
West the farmers were demied educational
advaatages in their youth,
and while their language may be
rough their hearts are in the right
place. And they have more hard,
horse sense than their brothers who
attempt to make merry at their expense.
As a class, they are law
abiding, far more so than any other
element considering their number,
and that is proved by the statistics
which cannot be disputed. They
suffer much. The profit which
comes from their labor may be swept
away in the night, but they struggle
od, never losing faith, and year after
year they do their utmost to make
ends meet, so as to provide comfort
and sustenance for their flock.
True Blue Blood Sentiment.
Philadelphia's much talked of
filtration system, which has lately
been set to work after years of labor
and immense expenditure, does not
seem to have quite filled the bill,
says an exchange. The city's drinking
water Btill shows rather too
ready a tendency to run coffee brown
from the faucet.
The other morning a gentleman
breakfasting at the Bellevue had
a m V\l A* r\n f V\ 1 m on/1
DUVsU d IIUUJL/iDl ^Ull h/CAWlo UlLUj uuu
objected. The waiter admitted it
looked pretty bad, but assured the
doubting traveler that really it was
good water. Then said the latter:
"Bat I hear the water that runs
to this part of the city passes through
Laurel Hill cemetery on the way
here. Is that so
"Yes, sir," came the reply, 'but
you must remember that its a firstclass
graveyard?only the very best
people are buried there."
Cleared For Action.
When the body is cleared for action, by
Dr. King's New Life Pills, you can tell it
by the bloom of health on the cheeks; the
brightness of the eyes; the firmness of the
flesh and muscles; the buoyancy of the
mind. Try them. At The Kaufmann
Diug Co's., drng store, 25 cents.
His Deduction.
Colgate Hoyt tells a good story of
a South Carolina darkey's first experience
with the wiles of modern
finance. Sam was the colored gentleman's
name, and his errand to the
bank of the town near which he lived
was to borrow $10 to move his crop.
The teller has referred him to the
cashier and the cashier to the president
himself, and that official had
smilingly agreed that the agricultural
good of the land needed such
help, and that Sam should certainly
have his money. A note was drawn
forthwith, but when the discount
clerk got through with it the farmer
received just $7 50.
As he walked up the street trying
to figure things out, a white neighbor
met him. "Hello, Sam," said he;
"what's wrong?"
"Nuffin' tall, sir," said Sam.
"Ob, come, now; there surely is.
You look as if you'd lost a friend
What is it?"
"Well. boss, hit's dis. I iest bin
down to de bank fer a bit o' money to
move de crap, an1 Mister Hall he
done say he'd loan me ?10 fer a
month. Den he charge me $2 50 for
bit, an' I jee' reach de 'elusion dat if
I'd a' asked fer dat $10 fer fo' mcnths

Since the Rural Free Delivery has
changed things somewhat, there are

many new ruiiugs mat lu? jjeupic
who receive mail must acquaint
themselves with. One of these has
been mentioned by a carrier who de*
livered papers that the recipients did
not want. He explains that when a
paper that the patron does not waDt
is placed in his box, he should write
on it the words 4'Not Wanted" aDd
place it in the box for the carrier tc
take back to the postoffice, and on its
return, the postmaster will officially
order the publication discontinued.
This applies to all publications.
Where one gets mail from the posi

from the office such papers as he
does not want.
Terrific Race With Death.
"Death was fast approaching," writes
Ralph F. Fernandez, of Tampa, Fla.. desribing
bis fearful race with death, "as ?
,ult of liver trouble aud heart disease,
which had robbed me of sleep and of al!
interest in life. I had tried many different
doctors and several medicines, bat got no
benefit, until I began to use Electric Bitters.
So wonderful was their effect, thai
in three days I felt like a new man, and
today I am cured of all my troubles.'
