The largest land deal recorded j
in the state of Arkansas for many j
years past was consummated last!
week when the H. D. Williams
Cooperage Company of this city
purchased a tract of fine timber
near Leslie fifty miles long and
twenty-five miles wide.-Poplar j
Bum citizen.
Harvey McCollum, manager of
the Southern Land Company, left
Tuesday night on a business trip j
to Memphis and St. Louis. He
will return by way of Butter
held, Mo., a new town on the
Frisco. Having sold several lots |
in Butterfield he will look after
his company’s and his custom
ers’ interests while there.
Tuesday. August 15th, is gen-'
erally accorded the warmest
member of this season’s bunch
of hot days. The mercury regis
tered 94 to 96 degrees by differ
ent authorities and the govern
ment report is discounted by the
answer of one’s own thermome
ter. Shortly before 4 o’clock in
the afternoon a rain and wind
storm came up and a rapid
fail in the mercuric bulb
of twenty degrees was forth
with chronicled. Wednesday
opened up refreshingly cool,
but summer has evidently not
lost her grip upon this section,
as 90 was again reached in the
afternoon. The rainfall of Tues
day amounted to .42 of an inch.
White river continues dropping,
reaching the ten-foot mark \\ ed
nesday.
Old Magistrate D»>ad.
Pine Bluff. Aug. 14.—Justice
of the Peace John Clary dropped
dead at his home here this morn
ing about 6 o’clock, while he was
in the lavatory preparing for
breakfast. He had been in, ill
health for several years, hut for
the past few weeks had several
times expressed himself as feel
ing unusually vu-ll. He was
about 75 years of age. hut ap
peared much younger, and had
been attending .his duties as jus
tice of the peace regularly for
the past two or three years.
Justice Clary served in the Con
federate array, after widen he
returned to Lincoln c unity and
resided there until about fifteen
years ago. v. lien he came to Pine
Bluff.
Cleared Upon Technicality.
Eureka Springs. Aug. 14.—J.
P. Metzier, who was tried on the
charge of robbery in the circuit
court here this evening, was ac
quitted. the case hanging on a
rather neat point. The indict
ment returned charged Metzier
with having obtained a check for
$100 from the Citizens bank by
intimidation. Metzler's attor
neys demurred to the form of the
indictment, and showed that the
writing secured was an order
and not a check, upon which
technicality the case was thrown
out of court and Metzier returned
to his home in St. Charles, Mo.

Wynne. Aug. 15.-A colored
preacher on the Cotton Belt rail
I
road yesterday, finding that he
must have a health certificate to
get off at Wynne, and having
none, provided himself as fol
lows:
“This is to certify that the
barer is from the norf and is in
good belt.”
The certificate was written on
a telegraph blank with a pencil
in almost illegible scrawl. When
told that it was not good the
preacher started walking toward
Memphis.
Howerton Was Acquitted.
Eureka Springs, Aug. 15.—
John Howerton, the gardener of
the Crescent hotel who killed
Jim Everett, the negro waiter in
the servants’ dining room, and
who was indicted by the grand
jury, was yesterday tried on the
charge and acquitted on the plea
of self defense. Howerton was
on the pay roll of the Crescent
hotel as James Lyons and had
only been in town a few days
when he shot the negro, who
died the day afterwards.

dition of Mayor King, who was,

Will positively cure any case of Kidney I
or Bladder disease not beyond the reach I
of medicine. No medicine can do more. I
1 FOLEY S KIDNEY CURE
strengthens the urinary organs,
builds up the kidneys and invig
orates the whole system.
IT IS GUARANTEED
TWO SIZES 50c and $1.00
Passed Stone and Gravil With Excruciating Paint
A. H. Thurnes, Mgr. Wilis Creek Coal Co., Buffalo, O , w- res:
“I have been afflicted with kidney and bladder trouble for years, pass
ing gravel or stones with excruciating pains. Other medicines only
gave retier. After taking FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE the result was
surprising. A few doses started the brick dust, like fine stones, etc.,
and now 1 have no pain across my kidneys and I feel like a new man.
FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE has done me $1,000 worth of good.”
No Other Remedy Can Compare With it
Thos. W. Carter, of Ashboro, N. C., had Kidney Trouble and
one bottle of FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE effected a perfect cure, and
he says there is no remedy that will compare with it.
