TUCKERMAN.
Old land maixs pass away one by
one and Tuckerman is no exception
just now. One of the oldest resi
dences in town is being razed to
make room for another building. The j
residence occupied until recently by
J. C. Cook and wife is being torn
away. The building belongs to W. S. I
Armstrong who had contemplated i
its removal to another site. The
condition of the building and the dis
tance necessary for a new loca
tion made its removal impracticable.
The residence formerly belonging to
Mrs. Mary Hunter will be moved a
few yqrds west after the other has
been torn away. The change will
eliminate the present danger of fire
caused by the close proximity of the
buildings that has existed since this
same section was fire-swept several
years ago, and rebuilt immediately
thereafter. The Hunter residence
will be occupied by Otis Armstrong
and wife as soon as the changes are
made.
Your correspondent received two
letters from James McCool during
the past week. The first announced
his arrival into an American port af
ter strenuous service of the battle
ship of which he was a member in
convoying soldier transports and
merchantmen across the Atlantic
ocean. He has seen several months
of such service. Before his ship be
gan this convoy work it cruised in
most parts of the Atlantic. During
his cruising James saw Brazil, Uru
guay, Argentine Republic, and other
South American countries as well as
Canada, England and France. His
SiiljLi cumuai/ti ouwiuuiiuvo ““'■''v
days in succession while convoying
troops, but the subs were unable to
do any damage and one was probably
destroyed. He has recently been
transferred to shore duty and is lo
cated at New York City at present.
James was born and reared in Tuck
erman and he has many friends here
who are proud of him because of the
enthusiastic manner in which, he has
served his country during the great
conflict which has just closed. No
one who knows the interest he has
manifested in his work will ever dare
■intimate that there is slacker blood
in his system.
On Saturday of next week the peo
ple of Arkansas will be asked to cast
their votes in favor or rejection of
the proposed constitution which was
r'ecently framed. This matter has
been discussed to some extent by the
press of the state. Just what the re
sult of the election will be is in doubt
because of the lack of interest which
the people have shown. We believe
it is in an improvement over the old
one and expect to vote for its adop
ton. The three most influential
newspapers in the state advocate its
adoption. They are the Arkansas
Gazette the Arkansas Methodist and
the Baptist Advance. The former
carries great political weight while
the last two named exert a great in
fluence over the membership of the
two largest religious denominations
in the state. Should the editorials in
those three papers meet with the ap
proval of their readers we predict
that the measure will be adopted.

church at this place and the cer
emony was said by the latter. The
bride is the daughter of R. E. Sor
rells and wife and is a very modest
young lady with attainments that
qualify her for the station in life
which she has assumed1. The groom
is in the service of Uncle Sam and
belongs to the aero department of
the service. He is stationed at Hamp
ton. Roads, Va., at present. He was
given a furlough several days ago in
order that he might visit some rela
tives who were ill at that time. He
was born and reared in the neighbor
hood where he now hails from and
hopes to receive an honorable dis
charge soon so that he may return to
his place of nativity and continue his
chosen occupation which is that of ]
agriculture. The groom left Wed
nesday to join his company in ser
vice. His wife will join him there
soon if he is not granted a discharge.
This newly-wedded couple have many
relatives and friends who wish for
them a happy and prosperous jour
ney through life.

Take a glass of Salts to flash oat yoai
Kidneys and neutralize irri
tating acids.
Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this aeid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and inflame,
causing a burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call ft,
because they can’t control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad. Ra’ .8
from your pharmacist and take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is a source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, ami
is used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen
did for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effervescent '
lithia-waler drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble.

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as
they cannot reach the seat of the dis
ease. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly influenced by constitutional
conditions, and in order to cure it you
must take an internal remedy. Hall’s
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally
and acts through the blood on the mtf- —
cous surfaces of the system. Hall’s
Catarrh Medicine was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this
country for years. It is comj^sed of
some of the best tonics known, com
bined with some of the best blood pur
ifiers. The perfect combination of
tHe ingredients in Hall’s Catarrh Med
icine is what produces such wonder
ful results in catarrhal conditions.
