Methodist church at Crossett, has
written the following letter in re
gard to the burning of the negro
nioti Rava- “Tf
not a Crossett affair. The negro
absolutely deserved speedy exe
cution, and all good citizens wer^
interested in his apprehension,
but the manner of his execution
without legal process was deeply
deplored, and I feel safe in say
ing that not a dozen men from
Crossett were present at the lyn
ching. The report has gone out
that a thousand men participated
in same, but this absolutely false.
' All the good citizens were inter
ested in the search, and every
’ thing possible was done by our
; citizens to see that the negro was
captured, but his capture at the
! time was a surprise to most of us,
and the lynching was so speedy
) that no movement could have
been organized nor measures

“Wine of Cardui is certainly ‘worn

to give my experience with it. A few
months ago I caught a severe cold, hav
ing been out in inclement weather, which
settled all over me, particularly in the
abdomen. I was in almost constant pain.
I consulted a physician and took his
medicine for a month and without any
relief. I then decided I would try your
medicine and it was a lucky day for me
when I did so. I noticed a change in a
few days and felt encouraged to continue
taking Wine of Cardui, and my patience
was rewarded, for in two weeks my pains
had left me and? felt like a new woman."

untold pains because she is too sensitive j
to undergo a physician’s examination
