THE REV. IRL R. HICKS’
1904 ALMANAC.
The Rev. Irl R. Hicks’ alman
ac for 1904 is now ready. It will
be mailed to any address for 30
cents. It is surprising how such
an elegant, costly book can be
sent prepaid so cheaply. No
family or person is prepaid--to'
study the hea^Tfs oftKe storms
and weather in 1904 without this
wonderful Hicks almanac and
Prof. Hicks’ splendid paper,
Word and Works. Both are sent
for only one dollar a year. Word
and Works is among the best of
American magazines. Like the
Hicks almanac, it is too well
known to need further commen
dation. Few men have labored
more faithfully for the public
good or found a warmer place in
the hearts of the people. Send
orders to Word and Works Pub
lishing Co., 2201 Locust street,
St. Louis, Mo.

The use of dogs in Crittenden,

prohibited, and this accounts for
a failure of the hunters to find
