A Lin coin dispatch drtys It Is now taken fo granted at the oxccrttlvo ofllco tha Dr. Nicholson proposes to stand will Dr. Alden in resisting removal.

M. C Ha en , Qynpr of Pflr * - THE COMMITTEE MAKES EXPLA NATION OF ONE ITEM. SEVERAL GOOD SUGGESTIONS If Followed , They Would Materially Improve the Appearance of the City. Complete List of Donors of Prizes to be Awarded by the Committee. . The City Improvement committee , fooling that Item I In the list of prizes offered might be misunderstood , wish to explain : It moans the entire alley In any one residence block , nM resi dents In that block being contestants. \Ve would also respectfully call the attention of property owners to the fact that most of the trees in town need to bo trimmed. On many streets the limbs hang down lown enough to Interfere with the heads of passcrsby. They should bo trimmed high enough that one might carry an extended um brella without Interference. One of our townsmen who lias had over twenty years of experience in trco culture In Norfolk says : "Largo trees should lie trlmmod up twenty feet from the ground. " Ho argues that the trees will bo more shapely , the grass under them will thrive bettor and the houses will bo more sanitary and cooler if both air and sunlight are allowed to enter. There seems to bo a mistaken Idea prevalent. In the best parts of our city , that an alley Is intended as a dumping place for garbage and refuse from the stables. Receptacles should bo provided for both of these at one side of the alley , In order not to Inter fere with traffic , and at stated times drawn away to the city dumping grounds or otherwise disposed of. The grass and weeds are also al lowed to grow In the parks , hence the beauty of many a well kept lawn Is marred. These points will all be con sidered by the Judges in awarding the prizes September 10. Will the property owners who are not contestants kindly set a good example - ample by carrying out these sugges tions as far as possible. The sanitary conditions and the ap pearance of our city can only be bet tered through concerted effort on the part of our citizens. Kespcctfully , City Improvement Committee.

'Fertile Sections of the Southwest , Where Land Sells for $15 and Rents for $5 Per Acre. Ono of the remarkable things about eastern Arkansas and northern Louis iana is the fact that cleared land renta fr r - ' for $7.50 to f5 per acre. It costs from $ C to $10 an acre to clear It. Other Improvements necessary are slight and Inexpensive. The soil is rich alluvial , or made. It produces n hale of cotton per acre , worth $ lo to $ CO. This accounts for Its high rental value. Other crops , such as corn , small grains , grasses , vegetables and fruits thrive ns well. Alfalfa yields ! to C cuttings , a ton to n cutting , and brings $10 to $1G per ton. ton.In In other sections of those states , and in Texas ns well , the rolling or hill-land Is especially adapted to stock raising and fruit farming. Land Is very cheap , $5 to $10 per acre ; Im proved farms $10 $15 to $25 per acre. The new White river country offers many opportunities for settlers. High , rolling , fine water It Is naturally adapted to stock and fruit raising. Can be bought as low ns $3 per acre. See this great country for yourself and pick out n location.

People are often very much disap pointed to find that their family physi- clan is away from home when they most need his services. Diseases like cramp colic and cholera morbus re quire prompt treatment , and have In many instances proven fatal before medicine can be procured or a phy sician summoned. The right way Is to keep at hand a bottle of Chamber lain's Colic , Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy. No physician can prescribe a better medicine for these diseases. By having it In the house you escape much pain and suffering and all risk. Buy it now ; It may save life. For sale by Leonard the druggist. O. R. MEREDITH , D.O OSTEOPATH.
