Walnut Ridge, Dec. 11.—Geo.
Bottoms, a farmer living six
miles from town, while riding
through a small skirt of woods
near his house Saturday saw a
very large and strange looking
bird light in a tree near him. Re
was unarmed at the time, but
sent his little boy, who was rid
ing behind him, to the house
after a gun. The little boy re
turned in a few minutes with the
gun and Mr. Bottom succeeded
in getting within range just as
the bird was about to fly from the
tree.
He killed the bird and found
that it was a bald eagle, holding
a wild duck in its talons. The
eagle was a very large one.
measuring from tip to tip of
wings six and one-half feet. Mr.
Bottoms brought the bird to town
and presented it to Fritz Graff,
who will have it mounted and
present it to the Eagle lodge

IMPERSONATING GOVERNOR.
Commercial Traveler Who Looks and
Drinks Like Jeff Had Fun at
Jonesboro. ,
No little amusement was cre
ated in Jonesboro recently by a
traveling man who very success
fully impersonated the governor,
says the Paragould Soliphone.
Aided by a few “good fellows,
who were out for fun,” he made
the play good.
He was introduced to many
who had never seen the govern
or, and even those who have a
limited acquaintance with the
chief executive were easily de
ceived, and even those who
knew the governor well were
fooled.
The gentleman bore a striking
resemblance to the governor,
and when he went to take a
drink less than a pint would not
make him a decent drink. He
was liberal with his whiskey,
and many who met him and took
a drink with him were given the
cordial handshake so peculiar to
Governor Jeff, and they think
until yet that they met and
drank with the real governor of
I Arkansas.
The stranger played his part
well—he walked like Jeff, he
talked like Jeff, he cussed like
Jeff, drank like Jeff, and one
fellow who knows Jeff well re
marked, “I’ll be durned if I
| don’t believe it was Jeff.”
Death of D. D. Smart.
| D. D. Smart, aged 73 years,
and an ex-Confederate soldier,
died Monday night after a brief
illness with pneumonia, at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. L.
R. Rutherford.
He leaves two sons, J. D. and
W. A. Smart, and one daughter,
Mrs. L. R. Rutherford.

j Rheumatic j
i Pains
"I have suffered terribly with
rheumatism. I took Dr. Miles’
Anti-Pain Pills and they gave me
great relief. I have spells of ter
| rible pains in my ribs, and in' the
| small of my back, and the
Anti-Pain Pills help me right away,
i I am now well of the rheumatism
and think Anti-Pain Pills done me !
more good than all the other medi- !
cines. I first heard of them
through the following circum
stance that happened at our home
two years ago. A friend, Mrs.
Brown, of Orion, Mich., came to
visit us. She had not been able to
dress herself or comb her own hair
for months. A friend of ours came
in and seeing her suffering offered
her some Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain j
Pills. She laughed at the idea of I
relief from such a source after
doctoring for so long, but took one
one of the tablets with the remark
that it would at least do her no
harm. She took another that
evening, and the next morning she
was so elated that she went to the
druggist’s and got a package and
took them home with her. Re
cently she was here again, and told
us that she continued taking the
pills, and that one box cured her, j
and she has not had a symptom of i
rheumatism since.”
S. R. FARMER,
332 Third St., Detroit, Mich.
Dr. Miles' Antl-Paln Pills are told by
your druggist, who will guarantee that
the first package will benefit. If It
falls, he will return your money.
