I To The Insuring Public: f
The last Legislature established an Actuarial Bureau to |
make estimates of Rates for fire and windstorm insur- B
ance. The rates for Newport were published and became §
effective on September 17, 1913, and from that date no §
fi Company or Agent can ac cept a greater or lesser rate than g
j!| is named: All MUST quote the same price. g
I* To you it is now simply a matter of SERVICE. g
All policies look very much alike and all Companies may 8
be good, but what Agent can best serve your interests in 8
keeping your policy forms correct and concurrent, and be ®
helpful to you after a fire as well as before ? !
Our office offers you all that the word SERV ICE implies, |
with added experience, carefulness and responsibility.

“Why I would not be without Bell Telephone |
Service,” said a local planter, “is the pleasure |
it gives my wife and the knowledge that it is §
her protection while I am away.” |
Planters frequently have to be away from |
'home. On such occasions the rural Bell Tele- |
phone gives a sense of security to the house- §
wife. 1

Killed In Sawmill.
Walnut Ridge, Sept. 22.—
James Morris of Ravenden, aged
about 40 years, was killed at a
sawmill at Hoxie at 10 o’clock to
day. He was working on the
cut-off saw, and by some manner
lost his balance and fell against
the saw, which ripped him open,
cutting his heart into the body.
He was brougnt to tne lVLcnamD
Bros, undertaking establishment
and embalmed for shipment.
This was his first day at the mill.
He leaves a wife and several
children. His son was working
by his side at the time of the ac
cident.
Weather Signs.
The wise ones of today should
not scorn the weather signs of
the simple-minded Indian and
negro, and of the county folk,
who believe implicitly in them.
It is a simple thing to say that
when it rains on Monday, it is
sure to rain frequently through
out the week, and perhaps every
day or night, yet anyone who
will take the trouble to observe
this phenomenon will see that it
is quite true as the majority of
scientific predictions made by
the weather bureau. When the
new moon droops in such a posi
tion that the Indian cannot hang
his powder horn on it the mean
ing is generally understood.
When the moon is surrounded by
a great ring, translucent and
shimmering, there is sure to be
rain immediately. If in this
ring there are stars visible it
means that rain will be deferred
one day for every star that can
be counted. Another supposedly
infallible sign is the katydid,
flfVl A 10 llQQ mnnths t.O a
day before frost. The roses are
weather harbingers also, and
they take on a peculiar hue in
October. Observant people say
that the October tint is already
on the rose, and that we may
look for an early fall. Of course,
we believe in the scientists, but
it is not always wise to ignore
the signs and portents of the
cdmmon people. — Memphis

Visit At Fair Grounds.
Hope, Sept. 21.—Several thou
sand people visited the fair
grounds today, where every
thing is rapidly assuming the
appearance of a great show
ground. The buildings are com
pleted and many of the free at
tractions are already on the
grounds ready for business. In
terest seems to center about the
race track and stables, where
may be seen several strings of
the fastest horses in the coun
try. Many of the heavy exhib
its from the farms already have
been placed in the halls.

Ready, Ky.—*' I was not able to do
anything for nearly six months,” writes |
Mrs. Laura Bratcher, ot this place, “and
was down in bed lor three months. |
I cannot tell you how I suffered with
my head, and with nervousness and
womanly troubles.
Our family doctor told my husband he
could not do me any good, and he had
to give it up. We tried another doctor,
but he did not help me.
At last, my mother advised me to take
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. I thought
it was no use for I was nearly dead and
nothing seemed to do me any good. But
I took eleven bottles, and now I am able
to do all of my work and my own
washing.
I think Cardui is the best medicine in
the world. My weight has increased,
and 1 look the picture of health. "
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, get a bottle of Cardui
today. Delay is dangerous. We know
j it will help you, for it has helped so
1 many thousands of other weak women
I in the past 50 years.
