JONESBORO CITIZENS
ON TIGER’S TRAIL.
One Hundred Citizens Volunteer
to Assist Mayor and Police
in Raids of Tiger Joints.
That Jonesboro is thoroughly
aroused on the license issue and
determined to enforce the pro
hibitory laws was proven in the
mass meeting of citizens at the
the Baptist church in that city
Sunday night, when a crowded
house pledged Mayor Nichols and
the police their moral and active
assistance in enforcing the law
against blind tigers. Many of
the leading business men made
talks commending the work of
the mayor.
Daily raids are to be made up
on all joints and the traffic in wet
goods made unprofitable by con
stant seizures.
Monday evening the express
office was visited and 7 cases of
beer and 2 cases of whiskey con
signed to dwellers in the red
light district, confiscated.
GERTRUDE EWING.
Miss Gertrude Ewing and
company come to the op
era house for one night, Wednes
day, Jan. 18, presenting the pic
turesque Egyptian comedy
drama, “Slaves of the Orient.”
Miss Ewing has one of the
strongest companies on the road
playing at popular prices. Fol
lowing is what the Little Rock
■Gazette has to say of the com
pany:
The Gertrude Ewing company
contains some really good mate
rial-good enough for much more
pretentious organizations. Last
night “Slaves of the Orient,”
an Egyptian melodrama, was
given to a very satisfactory sec

shown in the fact that she was
equally at home in an old woman

new friends by his sterling
work, and Miss Ewing was pleas

as usual. The audience liked the

as circumstances will possibly permit.

•T had been sick several years with
Indigestion and nervous prostration,
which kept me almost constantly under
a physician's care, and while I had been
treated by four doctors, I received only
temporary relief. I was very weak and
helpless, and unable to attend to my
household duties. After reading about
Dr. Miles’ Nervine, I concluded to give
it a trial. The first few doses brought
restful sleep at night, and an appetite
for food. Continuing the treatment, I
rapidly improved, and now I am well
and able to do ail my work.”
