results?

these matters. We regard every
prescription as one requiring the
utmost care as to accuracy, and de
manding the highest grade of drugs
that money will buy.
Our ideal prescription service costs you nothing

TARRED AND FEATHERED.
Alleged Lothario And Male Accom
plice Roughly Handled By Mob At
Wynne—Tied To Trees And
Lashed With Hickory
Withes.
John Ward, a telegraph lineman and
W. D. Thomas, a traveling salesman,
were severely punished by a mob at
Wynne early Friday morning for in
terfering in the conjugal felicity of the
home of a prominent business man of
that city. Ward was to have eloped
with the woman in question and
Thomas had served as an assistant in
the affair. But friends of the husband
had been posted and when Ward and
Thomas jumped from the train, they
were laid violent hands upon and
taken to the suburbs, where after be
ing tied to trees and unmercifully
whipped, they were adorned with a
coat of tar and feathers.
Thomas denies that he was previous
ly acquainted with Ward and says he
had nothing to do with the affair,
threatening prosecution against his
assailants, but the reports from Wynne
state that he played a conspicuous
part in enticing the married woman
into the scheme.

Little Rook, June 7.—A letter was
