State Farm Has Good Crop.
. Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 7—Com
missioner Bradsher of the
State Penitentiary returned
Friday from the State Farm,
where he has been inspecting
the crop, and with the other
commissioners will start out
for different parts of the state
to inspect sites offered for the
farm for white convicts. The
commissioners have so far been
unable to secure a suitable loca
tion, but have yet a number of
sites to look over. Commission
er Bradsher says the cotton
crop will be the best ever raised
on the farm, which is a remark
able statement with the crops in
other sections so poor. The
crop at the State Farm was not
so badly damaged by the dry
weather for there were sufficient
hands with which to work it
constantly, thus conserving the
moisture. Commissioner Brad
sher states there is some boll
weevil at the farm, but so far
the insect has done little dam
age.
The commissioners estimate
the corn crop on the farm to
average 60 bushels to the acre,
which will net the state quite a
sum, with corn the price it is |
certain to be this winter. The j
commissioners also expect to *
pick 3500 bales of cotton from
the farm this fall.

Woman Finally Recover*
From Nervous Breakdown
Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of a
complete nervous breakdown. It
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Rosa
Bonner, 8^5 N. rHtlt St., Birming
ham, Ala., says:
"I have been suffering with nerv
ous prostration for nine or ten
years. Have tried many of the best
doctors in Birmingham, but they all
failed to reach my case. I would
feel as if 1 was smothering; finally
I went into convulsions. My little
girl saw
Dr. Mile*’ Nervine
advertised in the papers and I at
once began to take It. I continued
to take it for some time and now I
am well.”
If you are troubled with loss of
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if you are in a
general run down condition and
unable to bear your part of the
daily grind of life, you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realize what is the mat
ter with you, but that is no reason
why you should delay treatment.
Dr. Mile*’ Nervine *
has proven its value in nervous dis
orders for thirty years, ami merits
a trial, no matter how many other
remedies have failed to help you.
Sold by all druggists. If first bottla
fails to benefit your money is returned.

Making Up Equalization
Boards.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, August 7.—The
Arkansas Tax Commission is
sending to the members of the
Boards of Equalization over the
state, urging the members who
lo not intend to serve this
pear to resign at once in order
:hat their successors be appoint
’d and qualify in time to serve
n September when the work oe
£*ns. The commission also
;alls the attention cf the equal
zation boards to existing con
lit.ior •c in som ; counties, and
isks that all assessments be
)laced at 50 per cent
Special attnetion is called to
he assessment of merchandise,
nanufacturing plants, moneys
ind credits. The commission
ays that the average stock of
nerehandise carried for the
ear must be assessed, with a
leduction for the amount al
owed on the goods. In assessing
lutes, not the face, but the ac
tual value must be taken, and
he amount the owner owes on
the note^ may be deducted be
fore the 50 per cent valuation is
determined. The boards are
also requested to assess im
provements made during the
year, and do as much as possi
ble to equalize assessments on
real estate.
George Sink and family have
moved from the Younger home
to the house of Dr. L- E- Willis
on the corner of Newport av
enue and Remmel avenue. Mrs.
Sink is able to walk around now,
with the aid of crutches and
continues to improve.

CERTAIN RESULTS
Many A Newport Citizen Knows
How Sure They Are.
Nothing uncertain about the
work of Doan’s Kidney Pills in i
Newport- There is plenty of
positive proof of this in the tes
timony of citizens. Such evi
dence should be convincing to
the most skeptical doubter. Read
the following statement:
Mrs. C. A. Arnett, 414 Laurel
street, Newport, says: "One of
our family was troubled by a
dull, steady ache over his kid
neys. It was hard for him to
lift anything or stoop. He was
stiff and lame when he got up
mornings. He finally got a box
of Doan’s Kidney Pills at Walk
er’s Pharmacy and they gave
him great relief.”
Price 50c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy
