A bill authorizing the construc
tion of a bridge across the St.
Francis River at Marked Tree
has been passed by the national
house. The Arkansas represen
tatives are ever wide-awake to j
the interests of their constituents
and in this laudable charac er
istic, not one excels Congress
man Brundidge.
Over three hundred prominent
Democrats of Little Rock were
in attendance upon the meeting to
organize a Carroll D. Wood club.
The people at whose hands the
governor feared assassination, or
,other pretended he did, propose
to fix the demagogue, who thus
maligned them, but it will be by
an honorable method, the ballot.
Major General V. Y. Cook is j
one of the committee named by
Major General T. J. Churchill, j
commanding the Arkansas divis
ion, United Confederate Veter
ans, to attend the funeral of the
late General John B. Gordon at
Atlanta, Ga. Throughout the
South the comrades in arms of
this military leader so well en
titled to the rank of greatness by
qualities of both mind and heart
are bowed in sorrow over loss of
one so fevered and loved.
Congressman Driggs was paid
money to induce the government
to contract for a certain number
of cash registers. The offense
was committed prior to his tak
ing the oath of office, but the
trial court refused to allow him
to escape through this loop-hole.
Senator Deitrich was more lucky
jr- and the judge sustained a de
1 murrer on this very technicality.

under which the two indictments
were brought.
At the meeting of the state
board of commissioners to con
sider bids for printing and bind
ing 800 copies each of the eight
volumes of the current reports of
the Arkansas supreme court, a
contract involving between $8,
000 and $10,000, William S.
Mitchell, as bidder for the Ar
! kansas Democrat, was present,
| and to win a wager wore a card
j bearing the inscription ‘ ‘I am for
Carroll D. Wood for Governor.”
As Gov. Davis is one of the three
i members of the board which
awards the contract, this beard
ing of the lion in his den has
been published as quite an act of
bravery. This school-boy hero
ism is ridiculous. The Arkansas
Democrat had no reason to hope
for the favor of the governor,
and the nerve of its manager in
thus flaunting the red flag takes
one back to nursery days.
MONROE COUNTY
DEMOCRATS VOTE.
Result of Primary for District
and County Officers.
Brinkley, Jan. 12.—The Demo
cratic voters of Monroe county
held a primary election today for
the nomination of congressman,
prosecuting attorney, state sena
tor, county and township officers.
A large vote was polled, much in
terest having been taken. The
principal issue in the election was
the question of establishing a!
district court at Brinkley. There I
were two candidates for state'
senator, H. C. Strong of Brink-1
ley being in favor of a district J
court and J. P. Lee of Clarendon'
opposing it. The returns tonight j
indicate that Lee has carried the '
county by a good majority.
Congressman S. Brundidge re-;
ceived the instructions of the
county without opposition.
For prosecuting attorney the
race between F. E. Brown and
J. B. Parker is close. The indi
cations are that Brown carried j
the county by a small majority
over Parker.
Returns so far received point i
pretty clearly to the nomination!
of the following county ticket: |
Representative, Geo, F. Chapline;
county judge, R. F. Milwee over
Judge J. B. Chapline; sheriff,
John F. Blanks; circuit clerk, R.
J. Torrey; county clerk, W. L.
Hinton; treasurer, M. P. Parks;
assessor, J. W. Knight; coroner,
J. W. Savage; surveyor, H. G.
Mitchell.

MISS MAY MARKELL,
A Society Belie of London, Canada.
rr^llSS MAY MARKELL
P^l of London, Ontario,
I' . I Canada, is a beauti
ful girl who knows what
suffering is and Wine of
Cardui has brought her back
to health. She is one of the
social favorites of her home
and her recovery to health
has permitted her to enjoy
the company of her many
friends instead of lvinff on
a bed of sickness and suffering. For
the health she now enjoys she gives
credit to Wine of Cardui. She writes:
MI have found Wine of Cardui an excel
lent remedy for female trouble. I suffered
for three years with terrible bearing-down
pains at the menstrual period. I could
hardly stand on my feet and was never
real well. Wine of Cardui was the only
medicine that I could depend on to do me
any good, as I tried several with no suc
cess. Wine of Cardui cured me and I
have now enjoyed perfect health for two
years, and give you all the credit for 1
know you deserve it."
For a young girl Wine of Cardui is
the best remedy to guide her through
womanhood by starting the menstrual
flow in a healthy and nat
ural manner. Menstruation
started right is very easy to
keep regular through the
years of mature womanhood.
Then the “change of life”
need not be feared. Thus
Wine of Cardui is woman’s
best relief from youth to
old age. A million women
have secured blessed relief
from their sufferings by tak
ing this treatment. It relieves men
strual troubles in an incredibly short
time. In a simple case of deranged
menses Wine of Cardui never fails. To
relieve disordered menses is to remove
the cause of other female troubles. Any
physician will tell you that to remove
the cause of a disease renders the cure
easy, in fact seldom fails to complete
the cure. If you would have the same
relief which Miss Marked secured try
Wine of Cardui. You can take it with
out an examination and without any
publicity whatever. You can take it in
the privacy of your home and secure
just as much benefit as if a doctor had
prescribed it for you. Thousands of wo
men are feeling the vigor of returning
health by taking Wine of Cardui.

Bad Blood?
Bad blood shows itself in a thousand familiar ways.
Pimples, boils, muddy complexion, headache, backache and
a general tired-out feeling are among the more common
results of impure blood. Johnston’s Tonic Capsules purify
and enrich the blood.
Rhematism, gout, eczema, catarrh, anemia, scurvy, scrofula, etc.,
result from impurities forced into the blood with food or drink, or from
the lack of certain necessary food substances.
Johnston’s Tonic Capsules are the surest, safest, most reliable, conven
ient and satisfactory medicine that can be taken to purify and enrich the blood.
They unload it of every impurity and at the same time so promote the nutritive
functions as to abundantly supply it with new, rich and self-sustaining
qualities. They make the blood pure and rich, and through pure blood the
bodily structures come right because they depend on the blood for nourish
ment and renewal.
For over 40 years Johnston’s Tonic Capsules have been held in high
esteem as a most reliable and satisfactory remedy for scrofula, rheumatism,
eczema, old sores, painful swellings, kernels and enlarged glands, catarrh,
scurfy, boils, liver complaint, dyspepsia, jaundice, constipation, kidney
troubles and a long list of common ails and ills.
We have great confidence in this medicine, a confidence born of many
years’ experience with it, and we make the following extraordinary offer:
Send us a dollar for a large box of Johnston’s Tonic Capsules, or buy the same
of dealer whose name appears below, use half of them, and if you are not
satisfied, mail the balance to us and we will return your money. Test them at
our risk and be your own judge. Michigan Drug Co., Detroit, Mich.
