Coroner Frank Harrison was
down Monday from Tuckerman
and gave out some of the facts
relating to the accidental injury
of Henry Lanoby at Tuckerman
on March 23, from which he died
the day following without ever
regaining consciousness. The
deceased was thought to have
been hanging on No. 12 when
struck by the mail crane, but was
not picked up until next morn
ing. From papers on his person
it wTas found that he had been
employed at some commissary,
but where it is not known. The
remains were buried at Tucker
man.

loma twenty-eight years ago.
The father and son will be asso
ciated in the practice of their
profession. The many friends
of the young doctor are glad to
welcome him home and wish him
wrell. He is a young man of fine j
character and gentlemanly con
duct, whose naturally bright
mind has had the advantages of

JONESBORO FOLKS
DON’T LIKE CHIEF.
Say Chief Turner is Not Vigor
ous Enough in the Prosecu
tion of Blind Tiger Cases.
There is some dissatisfaction
among the more radical temper
ance element of the city in re
gard to the present organization
of the police force,says the Jones
boro Sun. There is no objection
to Mayor Nichols but they don’t
like Chief Turner. They believe
that the prosecution of the blind
tigers is not vigorous enough.
Chief Turner says that he has
reduced the liquor traffic to as
low a standard as possible. That i
it will be sold to some extent and j
there is no help for it. The po- 1
lice say that they have reduced j
the business to a status where I
there is no profit in it, and that I
the blind tiger people say there I
is not; that what they want and!
ire honincr for is n r*Vmnr>p fn T-imfi
wide open, as in some of the for
mer halcyon days.
They intimate, say the police,
that they could afford to pay
some big fines if this were the
case. But what the other folks
want is a red-hot, sweeping, dras
tic campaign against the blind
tigers—one that would make the
fur fly to such an extent that the
air would be full of striped hair.
LETTER TO DR. ELBERT WAT
SON, NEWPORT, ARK. j
Dear Sir: Some think we takfc
a good deal of risk in inviting
complaints of Devoe lead-and
zinc—we authorize our agent tc
sell it under this guarantee:
“If you have any fault to find
ivith this paint, either now in
jutting it on or hereafter in the
vear, tell your dealer about it.
“We authorize him to do what
s right at our expense.”
J. H. Asher & Co., hardware
dealers. Rhihebeck, N. Y., have
sold Devoe from ’76 to now; have
sold thousands of gallons and
have had just one complaint in
all this time.
Three sides of a house were
perfect; the fourth was as bad
as the three were good.
Explanation — It rained the
night before the fourth side was
painted, and the painters didn’t
wait for the wood to dry.
What is done in such a case?
Whatever the dealer who sold
the paint considers it fair to do.
We leave it to him. He may not
do exactly what we should do if
we were there, but we are not
there. The best we can do is to
leave it to him.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,
New York and Chicago.
AT REST.
We are sorry to chronicle the
death of Mrs. W. A. Phillips.
She died February 10, 1905. She
lived a noble Christian life and
was a consistent member of the I
Methodist church at Tuckerman.!
She was loved by all who knew
her for her beautiful womanly
qualities and Christian character.
Her remains were laid to rest in
Pleasant Grove cemetery, the fu
neral services being conducted
by Rev. Mr. Self of Tuckerman.
Mrs. Phillips left a husband
and six children to mourn her
loss and a host of friends who
sympathize with them in their
bereavement.

BAD HEALTH.

Deadly Bright’s Disease.
Thousands Die of it Every Year.
Kidney disease is the enemy we have
most to fear as a result of the feverish
restlessness of modern civilization. II
is a treacherous enemy, working out its
deadly effect under cover of the most
trifling symptoms. The first indication
of changes in the urine, frequent head
aches, digestive troubles, should be the
signal for prompt remedial measures.
Prickly Ash Bitters is a kidney remedy
of the greatest merit; it is soothing,
