KING
>LENDID SHOWING.
Jud^e W. L. Moose of Morril
tonis making a splendid show
ing in his race for associate jus
tice of the supreme court. Ir
this section of the state he has
everything his own way. Those
who are acquainted with the
record he has made and the
great interest he has manifested
as circuit judge of this judicial
circuit will indeed deem it a priv
ilege to lend their support tc
such a man. Judge Moose is not
only an apt student and an emi
nent lawyer, but he is also an
exemplary citizen. He is a good
man at heart, a man that is in
i touch and that is in sympathy
; with all the moves that tend to
the upbuilding of Arkansas.
Heretofore he has never been
defeated in any of his political
aspirations, having served his
county in the state senate, and
while so doing he was elected
president of that body, which po
sition he filled ably and success
fully. After his term of office
expired he was easily elected
circuit judge over some of the
most popular lawyers of the dis
trict.—Danville Democrat.
MURPHY AND MACON.
Entertain a Large Crowd at
Wynne With Speeches.
Wynne, Feb. 28. — Attorney
! General Geo. W. Murphy, who is
; bitterly opposed to the guberna
torial candidacy of Jeff Davis,
and Hon. R. B. Macon, who is a
candidate for re-election to con
gress from this, the First con
gressional district, addressed a
large crowd of representative
citizens from this and adjoining
counties upon some of the politi
cal issues of the day here yester
day afternoon.
In the beginning of his speech
Col. Murphy was interrupted
on one or two occasions by a
number of boisterous characters
shouting in loud voice “Hurrah
for Davis,” but before he had
finished his remarks were deliv
| ered with such telling effect that
this unpleasant feature had been
'eliminated and the speaker was
granted a respectful and atten
tive hearing. The record of Gov.
Davis was dealt with in a forcible
manner.
Following Mr. Murphy Mr.
Macon held the attention of the
crowd for about an hour, the
burden of his talk being in be
half of his candidacy for a sec
ond term in congress. He is a
forcible talker and was liberally
applauded.

•
Scrofula arises from poor, thin, watery blood. It can
not exist with pure, rich, red blood coursing through the
veins and arteries. In order to enrich and cleanse the
blood, the digestive organs must be stimulated and toned
up so that they take the best from food, and the liver and
kidneys must be stimulated to carry away blood impurities.
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules cure scrofula by purifying the blood. All
tissues of the body are fed, maintained and cleansed by the blood. The
blood contains, at one time or another, everything which is about to be
come a part of the tissue and everything which has served its purpose,
been discarded and ceased to belong to them, thus it is both the scavenger
and the food-provider of every cell of the body.
It is as important that the worn-out particles and impurities of the blood
be removed as that new and wholesome material be provided, for the presence
of the one poisons the tissues, and the lack of the other starves them.
For over 40 years Johnston’s Tonic Capsules have been held in high esteem
as a most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism, eczema,
old sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh, scurvy,
boils, liver tomplaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidney troubles and
a long list of common ails and ills.
We have great confidence in this medicine, a confidence born of many,
years’ experience with it, and we make the following extraordinary offer?
Send us a dollar for a large box of Johnston’s Tonic Capsules, or buy the same
of dealer whose name appears below, use half of them, and if you are not
satisfied, mail the balance to us and we will return your money. Test them at
our risk and be your own ludgre. Michigan Drugr Co.. Detroit. Mich.
