TOWN SITE TO BE
SOLD AT AUCTION.
Town of Carlisle in Lonoke
County Up Against Proposi
tion That May Bring on
Much Litigation.
Carlisle, May 29.—Unless the
courts intervene the entire town
of Carlisle and about 3,400 acres
acres of land surrounding the
town will be sold at public sale
June 9 on an order granted by
the probate court of Lonoke
county to the heirs of the original
owner of the land.
The order was secured by the
guardian of three minor heirs of
a Frenchman named Comio, who
years ago owned all the land on
which the town of Carlisle now
stands, as well as much of the
surrounding country. The origi
nal owner sold most of the land
years ago, but in 1879, presuma
bly to make the title clear, he
secured a patent from the state
for the whole tract. He failed,
it is said, to make new deeds,
however, for the land which he
had sold, and as a result the
heirs now claim the property.
Three of the grandchildren of
the original owner who now re
side in Louisiana claim an undi
vided sixteenth of the property,
and through their guardian se
cured an order for the sale of
the whole tract.
The citizens of Carlisle have
held a mass meeting and decided
to raise a fund to carry on the
fight against the claimants.

Dear Sir: Pay more for De

Paint is a watch-dog. How
would you like a watch-dog that
wouldn’t watch from two to five

How would you like a watch

BURNING MONEY.
Much of the timber that has
been deadened in clearings and
left standing in fields, or cut
down, rolled together and
burned, could have been sold for
a good price if there had been
facilities within a reasonable
distance for converting it into
lumber, hubs, spokes, felloes,
plow beams, handles, etc. By
proper efiort this waste of wealth
could be stopped. A vast area
of the country adjacent to Cot
ter abounds with various hard
woods used in the manufacture
of wagons and other agricultural
implements, furniture, etc. If

l PARACAMPH CUBES
BHEUXATISX.
Cost Nothing If it Fail*.
Any honest person who suffers with
Rheumatism is authorized to go to their
druggist today and get a bottle of Para
camph, use as directed, and if it fails to
do exactly what we claim, go back to
their druggist and get their money. Par
acamph is recommended as a modem
scientific treatment for all Rheumatic
Swellings and Neuralgic troubles. It re
lieves on Nature’s plan. That is when
applied - it opens the pores, penetrates
directly to the seat of the ailment soothing
the inflamed skin, muscles and joints re
ducingt he swelling by removing the con
gestion, drawing out the fever and inflam
mation by inducing sweating. It sweats
the disease out of the body through
the pores of the skin. This is why Para
camph is superior to the many internal
strong, drastic drugs that upset the stom
ach, shatter the nerves, and undermine
j the general health. Our guarantee is
made to convince yo% of our faith in Par
acamph. We have of course, tested its
merits thoroughly in many and various
cases. We know therefore exactly what
it will do. So don’t hesitate, but get a
bottle of Paracamph today, and after two
or three applications you will be convinced
that we claim only for Paracamph exactly
what it will do.
Paracamph is sold only in 25 cent, 50
cent and $1.00 bottles. The larger sizes
are cheaper for family use. Write for
book of testimonials. The Paracamph
Company, Louisville Ky., U. S. A.
utilized in this way the timber
would sell for more than is asked
for the land on which it grows.
