Newport looked like London
town about noon Wednesday, so
say our local globe trotters. The
looks didn’t have to go very far,

Arkansas fog denser or a day!
time hour darker, yet no electric
light. Pray, what kind of a
day does it take to get day ser
vice from the local company.

The mercury in ten hours of
those two days took a drop that
makes you shiver, 52 degrees,
and sent tumbling, like a bunch
of ten pins from a center shot,
all the top records of our change
able weather. And our ther
mometers don’t seem to have re
covered, for fearing such falls,
they are content to hover around
| the zero mark, and that is toler
ably—yes, awfully—cold for Ar
kansas. Only 18 above was the
story of the bulb all day Tues
day, and old Sol, fearing he was
not equal to the task of smiling
on such a cold world, kept be
i hind the clouds.
! BEWARE OF OINTMENTS FOR
CATARRH THAT CONTAIN
i MERCURY
—
As mercury will surely destroy

derange the whole system when
entering it through the mucous
! surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except on pre
i scriptiuns from reputable physi
! cians, as the damage they will.
do is ten fold to the good you i
can possibly derive from them.

buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure be
j sure you get the genuine. It is j
taken internally and made in To
