FOR MAYOR OF NEWPORT.
I hereby announce as a candi
date for mayor of the city of
Newport, Ark. I solicit the as
sistance of every good citizen in
making Newport what her physi

this end, I am, respectfully yours,
Chas. R. Hite.

[ADVEKTISMENT.J
STATEMENT FROM KEEL.
Regarding Tom Graham’s sup
port of Lippmann against the
nominee in 1900, I was told by
people living in Bird township,
that there were possibly other
motives than Keel’s action at the
Wynne convention that prompted
Mr. Graham to advise his friends
to bolt—that there was a finan
cial difference between Graham
and Lippmann — that avarice
might have caused the former to
lose sight of his politics.
I make no charges, but I think
the Record B. I. 552 at the clerk’s
office in the court house will
show judgment of over four hun
dred dollars, rendered July 10,
1896, against Leon Lippmann in
favor of Graham Bros. He who
runs may read.—Extract from
speech of Jno. H. Keel at Swif
ton, March 5, 1904.
CHARLES R. HITE

In accepting your call to enter

pressed in your call, and in event
of my election shall use my best
efforts to merit the confidence
reposed in me,
My best efforts shall be ex
erted for the welfare and good of
the city. It shall be my endeavor
at all times to advance the pro
gress and improvement of our
city that we may maintain the
position among the cities of our

this time we are heading the tail
end of the procession.
Thanking you, and soliciting
the assistance of every citizen
that we may begin a new era of
progress and improvement.
Respectfully yours,
Charles R. Hite.

} rfrriRS. McDonald,
, |W No. 477 Beaubien
11 M| Street, Detroit,
1 Mich., is aprom
> inent woman who was
' greatly benefited by the
great woman’s medicine,
Wine of Cardui. Mrs.
I McDonald is the supreme
5 deputy of the Maccabees
, of the World, and one of
the most widely known
. women in me umtcu ■■■ —
States. Thousands of women gather to
hear her lecture everywhere she goes.
I j The great work she has done for the
Maccabees is appreciated by every
; member of the order. She was so ab
sorbed in her work that she neglected
, to give her health proper care—failed
, to take warning that the symptoms of
approaching kidney trouble gave her,
the sallow complexion and torpid liver.
But Wine of Cardui cured her the same
as it has cured thousands of others and
Mrs. McDonald has written this letter in
order that other suffering women may
Secure from Wine of Cardui the same
; relief she got from it.
“For four years I suffered with torpid
liver until my skin looked yellow and dull.
I then found my kidneys were affected and
had severe pains across my back, and 1 felt
that 1 must do something
to regain my health. A
friend advocated your Wine
of Cardul treatment *o
strongly that I decided to
try iC although I had little
faith in patent medicines.
I am now very thankful that
I did so, for within ten days
blemd relief came to me,
and in less than three
months I was cured, and
h«ve. enioved fine health
ever since. I know there is nothing better |
for a sick woman who wishes to enjoy per. I
feet health and am very pleased to give my |
hearty endorsement.”
No suffering woman can afford to
ignore such a letter as Mrs. McDonald »
writes. Her plans and advice have p
proved valuable in building up one of
the greatest women’s organizations in
the United States and she takes time to
give advice which she knows will help
you. . . ,.
Do not delay in securing this medi
cine. There is nothing to gain and
everything to lose by delay. The choice
is before you. Will or will you not
secure relief now by taking Wine of
Cardui? All druggists sell $1.00 battles
of Wine of Cardui as well as 25c pack
ages of Thedford’s Black-Draught.
