NOT AN ISOLATED CASE
Many Similar Cases In Newport
and Vicinity.
This Newport man’s story giv
en here is not an isolated case by
any means; week after week;
year after year, our neighbors
are telling similar good news.
Joseph F. Brown, farmer, R.
F. D- No. 2, Box 61 a, Newport,
Arkansas, says: “I suffered of
and on for several years from
kidney complaint- The kidney se
cretions passed irregularly, the
flow usually being too frequent
and obliging me to get up at
night. Dull, heavy pains seated
themselves in the small of my
back and when I stooped, sharp
twinges darted through me. I
went from bad to worse until I
got Doan’s Kidney Pills at Dut
ton’s Drug Store, (now Walker’s |
Pharmacy). A few boxes cured
me.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy !
—get Doan’s Kidney Pills— the
same that Mr. Brown had. Fos- J

such action.
Lower Express Rates.
In conformity with the order
of the interstate commerce com
mission, a new set of express
rates has been published. These
are most interesting- They not
only unify and co-ordinate these
rates, but they make a horizon
tal reduction in them of as much
as 50 per cent in some instances.
The parcel post has compelled
this reduction, which had to be
made in order to meet competi

There is a structure which every institution builds for
itself. It is called character, and every act is a stone in
this stucture.
An institution, in order to have a good character, must
think honestly, act honestty, breathe honesty. The
people soon determine between the genuine and the
counterfeit. They know the ring of the true metal
and the base.

All Democrats May Vote
Poughkeepsie, Jan 13.— The
Sharp County Democratic Com
mittee, which met here Satur
day, ignored the action of the
Democratic State Central Com
mittee in declaring that only
Democrats who have supported
the Democratic candidates for
the last two years may vote in
the state primary to be held on
March 25. The committee un
animously adopted a resolution
providing that any Democrat
who pledges himself to support
the Democratic nominees in the
next general election may vote
in the coming primary.
The committee decided to hold
the county primary on March
25, the date fixed for the state
primary.

Every clergyman can tell tales of
the strange names which he has
been asked to bestow upon children
at the baptismal font; but the place
where that sort of thing Is rampant is
British Guinea. Nannie Bellona, John
Pantaloon, and Frank Locust are
among Christian names Imposed on
the offspring of native converts.
Worse still are “Whisky Emmanuel"
and "Seriatim ad Valorem."

An Intimate friendship is at ones
