Donnellv and Hatfield Minstrels.
It is always a pleasure to an
nounce the coming of the Don
J nelly and Hatfield Magnificent
! Minstrels which appear at the
i opera house Saturday, Nov. 18.
Theatre-goers of this city have
learned to rely upon the promis
es of the managers of this organ
ization and people have come to
| realize that the Donnelly &jHat
fieid Minstrels are just a little
better than the Donnelly & Hat
field posters and the show, in
fact, is just a littie greater Jthan
the words that attempt to por
tray the merits of the organiza
tion. It could not be otherwise
under the personal direction of
Al. G. Field.
This show always affords gen
uine entertainment. The meiody
of its popular songs have pre
ceded it into this city, for its
songs have been whistled
throughout the country. These
popular song hits are offered in
the first part. It is said that the
color scheme^and the “effects”
of the latter surpass anything of
the kind ever presented in min
strelsy. And it is claimed j^its
good humor and melody run over
at the side.
Many feature acts are on the
i program. One of the entertain
ing acts is the “Darktown Cir
'cus,” a burlesque upon the most
j popular of America s amuse
Iments, the circus. VVhile one
I counts five the audiencejis intro
duced to all the accessories and
atmosphere that go to make a
! typical one ring circus. j|The en
! tire company of forty people
take part in this act. The scen
eryjis both gorgeous and realist
ic This act is relieved by the
I “Toledos,” impersonators of
i animals, reptiles and amphib
! ious monsters. They give feats
i of contortion and acrobatic
j ability.
j “Where the moonlight Falls”
shows a miniature landscape
with a full moon and rippling
waters, where a company of dar
kies gather and do a series of
j dances. There is a monologue
; by Tommy Donnelly and a mu
sical “fete” by Crawford and
: Finning. The Tuscano Brothers,
; Roman axe manipulators, will
I make their first American ap
I pearance with this company.
! These gentlemen balance, juggle
land throw rude Roman axes,
j “While Old Glory Waves” dis
j closes a series of spectacles rep
j resenting the varied career of
I America in arms.
The managers of this popular
organization have made the vocal
j music of their splendid enter
! tainment one of its chief feat
ures. Some of the best black
I faced comedians in the business
have joined their forces. 15-18
BEAT BOY~ TO Of ATM.

Answer Charge ©1 Killing a
i
. Young Man.
Conway, Nov. 13. —News has
| just reached here that E. S. Car
! nahan and wife beat a young
man by the name of Gullet to
| death near Lollie last Sunday
and an inquest was held over
| his remains yesterday, but the
| decision of the coroner’s jury has
not yet been learned.
The young man was a son
of Mrs. Carnahan by a form
er husband and was an invalid.
Because he said he needed a
doctor and asked for one, they
gave him a beating and he died
Sunday night as a result of the
| thrashing* it is alleged.
Carnahan married Mrs. Gul
j let in October. If the jury re
turns a verdict that death re
| suited from the beating the boy
received, it will go hard with
: Carnahan and his wife.

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp
toms is the Prime Cause of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright’s Disease,
It is Easily Curable in the Early Stages.
- _
Kidney diseases are so destructive to
human life because they do not manifest
alarming symptoms until the constitu
tion is seriously weakened and the
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
the remedies employed by many physi
cians are of indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is to apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first appearance of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the smallof the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment in the estima
tion of strong men and women, yet they
have a serious meaning. They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be' forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per
haps fatal consequences. A few doses
of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would
prove of incalculable value in restoring
the. weakened organs to health. An
investment of one dollar in a bottle of
Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in doctor’s bills, besides the
suffering that would surely follow should
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
the bod}-. The excellent curative power
of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to
the first stages of kidney disease. It is
equally efficacious in severe or chronic
cases. Physicians have used it as a last
resort, in cases that defied their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority over the
many so-called kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised, in instances innu
merable.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure b in red on the front label.

The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive remedy now known to
the med-ical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease,re
quires a constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surface of
the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative pow
ers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testi
monials. Address

Jonesboro Organizing Bank.
The new bank about which
there has been a rumor for the
past few months is about to be a
certainty. Alex Berger is the
promoter, and announces that
about all the stock for the organ
ization has been secured for a
$100,000 trust company. The
stock will be mostly taken by
local capital, only a small per
cent will be foreign, and the or
ganization will be complete and
ready for business some time in
January.
The building now occupied by
Jones & Killebrew as a furniture
store at 408 Main street has been
leased and will be the location.
The $100,000 will all be paid
up and the new institution will
have as stockholders some of the
largest capitalists in the city. It
will do a general banking busi
ness. —Jonesboro Sun.

from Pine Knots to Electric lights.
Just eighty-threeyears ago this
spring, the founder of the John
Robinson show started out with
his little overland caravan to i
ba.ttle with the swamp roads and |
elements on his journey for fame!
and fortune. The gasoline lamp j
had not then been heard of, and
coal oil was expensive and hard
to obtain, but the country in
which he had chosen to cast his
lot abounded in pine forests, and
each day a quantity of the pitch
knots were collected, and they
formed the sole means of light
ing the tent, but the native came
| and perhaps enjoyed the per
j formance of the riders and
clowns as much as he does to
day, when the advance of civili
zation makes it possible for the:
i modern circus owner to carry his !
own private electric light plant.'
In fact, the John Robinson show!
of this season carries two com-!
i plete electric lighting plants of j
i the most improved and modern j
j type, and the menagerie and big!
i tent present a pretty spectacle j
; when the thousand or more
j lights in multi-colored globes are j
I burning.
Will exhibit at Newport Satur-;
day, November IB.
