HALL IN ST. LOUIS.
Missing Merchant After Elop
ing With Wife’s Niece Calls
Up Austin to Learn of
His Family.
Austin, January 31. — A tele
phone message was received here
Saturday night from S. M. Hall, j
the well known merchant of this
city who is said to have eloped
from here last week with his j
wife’s niece, Miss Bessie Han
cock. The latter lived at Bates-1
ville and had been clerking in
Mr. Hall’s store. He called up
his nephew, W. E. Rawson, who
is head clerk in the store, and
asked how the members of the I
family were.
Hall was in St. Louis and said
he would leave there in a day or i
two, but did not indicate where
he was going. Mr. Rawson says ;
the papers giving lease of the
business to Hall’s wife and old
est son were put on record at
Lonoke. Hall left $2,300 in the
bank and it is said took $2,000
with him.
Hall’s departure has been the
talk of the town since he left,
and was quite a surprise to all.
He has been in business here the
past four years and was well
liked by all. He came here from
Jacksonville, Pulaski county.
Some think he will return home
inafew’weeks. j

health again by taking Wine of Cardui.
As a regulator of the menstrual periods
Wine of Cardui has never been known
to fail. It has seldom failed to restore
perfect health, even in the most persis
tent and aggravated case of weakness.
Miss Ida M. Snyder, of No. 535 Ber
gen Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., ha3 used
Wine of Cardui and she says it helped
her into a new life. Health to Miss
Snyder is worth a great deal. She is
an attractive young woman with intel
lectual attainments and she occupies
the position of Treasurer of the Brook
lyn East End Art Club. This position
marks her as a person of intellect, cul
ture and refinement and it speaks highly
of the respect and trust her fellow
women have in her. She writes:
“If women would pay more attention

ford’s Black-Draught, and o I took it
and have every reason to tt ank him for i
a new life opened up to me with restored
health, and it only took three months to
cure me.”
You may secure the same relief as
Miss Snyder, if you take Wine of Cardui ]
as she took it. Thedford’s Black
Draught is the companion medicine of
Wine of Cardui and it is a liver and
bowel regulator which assists greatly
in effecting a cure. If you take these
medicines according to directions, the
relief and cure is simple. Some cases
are cured quickly and others take longer
because the disease has run longer.
Remember how Miss Snyder took Wine j
of Cardui and has health. The same
medicines are offered you to-day.
