WORK TO BEGIN
. ON NEW CAPITOL.
MFirst Stone Arrives for Arkansas
New State Building Shipped
to Little Rock.
Little Rock, May 26.—The first
carload of marble d*> be used in
the construction of the new capi
tol building arrived Wednesday
from Batesville, and its arrival is
expected to mark the beginning
of active work on the building.
The stone comes from the quar
ries of the Pfeifer Stone com
' pany of Batesville, from whom
the contractors are required to
purchase all the stone to be used
in the building.
The company has been delayed
in getting out its stone, as it was
compelled to build a switch seven
miles long before the first ship
ment could be made.
This has been completed now
and the company expects to have
the marble on the ground as fast
as the contractors can use it.

all got well at once.

JACKSONPORT.
What Sunny Jim Heard in and
Around Jacksonport.
That this town is to have the
largest stave factory in the coun
try, a plant that will cover 25
acres of ground and employ more
men than the present popula
tion affords. Now isn’t that
just lovely ?
Taylor & Gibson’s factory is
at work again, the water now
being low and the bottom lands
pretty well dried out so they can
get a good supply of material to
work on.
The steamer Welcome has just
arrived from Black river with a
trip of logs for Taylor & Gibson.
At a business meeting of the
Fraternal Home Monday night
it was decided that the regular
lodge nights will be the second
and fourth Wednesdays in each
month. It was also agreed that
the ice cream supper would be
given Friday evening, May 27.
We noticed that “Bob” Ander
son was very busy in his garden,
and think it is a time contract
from the way he was breaking
clods. It’s an elegant garden,
just th(f same.
By the way, don’t forget the
ice cream supper to be given at
Jacksonport Friday night. All
the young folks of Newport will
be expected.
Talk about the New Jersey
mosquito, why the Arkansaw
product can lay it over any other
tribe on earth. Of this we are
fully convinced, having had en
counters with various tribes in
different parts of the country.
President John P. Jones is the
champion fisherman of this camp.
In a very short time Monday he
landed 26 of the shiny, scaly in
habitants of White river,
We have just learned that Mrs.
Jos. Bridger is quite ill, but we
sincerely hope it may not prove
serious.
The young folks and the old
ones too, for that matter, want
everyone to attend the ice cream
social to be given at this place
Friday night for the benefit of
the Fraternal Home, the new
lodge that has just been installed
here, and we are sure it is going
to prove a great success. We
sincerely hope all our friends will
join with us and help to make it
a grand success. There will be
plenty of ice cream and cake, not
to mention the scores of pretty
girls. We want you to come.
Remember you are cordially in
vited. Tell all your friends about
it. We will treat you right.
Success to the Independent.
Peace, happiness and good for
tune to all its readers is the wish
of Sunny Jim.
DAVIS’ EXECUTION
NOT DETERMINED.
Pine Blurt Kapist Still in Sus
pense, Having Been
Found Guilty.
Pine Bluff, May 26.—The date
for the hanging of Elisha Davis,
the negro convicted in the circuit
court for assault on little Katie
Ross, will not be fixed until later
in the week. Under the law a
convicted man is allowed forty
eight hours between the time of
the verdict of the jury and the
passing of the sentence. As
Davis was convicted Monday
afternoon, this would give him
until Wednesday before sentence
could be passed.
The law further prescribes that
such crimes as the one of which
Davis is guilty are punishable by
death and Davis must hang. He
will be allowed thirty days in
which to prepare for death.
The hanging will take place in
Jefferson county at a place se
lected by the sheriff. Whether
or not the execution will be pub
lic or private rests with the
sheriff.
R. D. ENTERTAINED.
The entertainment of the Round
Dozen club Wednesday afternoon
by Mrs. Wm. Mosby was one of
the most pleasant social functions
of the week, and was largely at
tended by the regular club mem
bers. Dainty refreshments of
cake, cream and olives were
served by the charming hostess,
and brought this pleasant after
noon to a close. The regular
club members, with invited
guests present, were: Mesdames
Frank Hess, L. E. Willis, C. E
Maynard, C. W. Beard, T. B.
Stewart, J. W. Stayton, Jno. W.

By Paracamph.
Mr 23. L. Hawkins, 123 West 27th
St., New York City, Says:
“I have used Paracamph in a severe case
of Rheumatism, and will say that I got
immediate, relief. I have tried almost
every preparation that is now before the
public, and find that Paracamph is with
out question the best remedy for Rheu
matism. I wish you success and heartily
recommed Paracamph ” ,
Mr Hawkins is only one out of many
thousands that have been cured by the
wonderful penetrating remedy Paracamph
This new remedy is a scientific prepara
tion which when applied, opens the pores
of the skin, allowing the soothing, cool
ing oils to penetrate to seat of the ailment,
removing the soreness and congestion,
drawing out the fever and inflammation
by inducing sweating. It sweats out the
pain and aches, and this is Nature’s plan.
Don’t ruin your stomach with strong
internal medicines for Rheumatism, Neu
ralgia, Sore Joints, etc. We guarantee
Paracamph to relieve and cure you if used
as directed. If it fails your druggist will
refund your money. If your druggist don’t
handle Paracamph ask him to get for you.
If he won’t do this send direct to us.
But don’t take any substitute because there
is nothing just as good. Paracamph is sold
only in 25 cent, 50 cent, and $1.00bottles.
The 50 cent size contains three times as
much as the 25 cent size; the $1.00 bottles
eight times as much as the 25 cent size.
