Is often hanging in the balance when a physi
cian writes a prescription. If the compounding
is inaccurate, or if the drugs supplied are lack
ing in purity and strength, who shall answer for
results?
We recognize our responsibility in
these matters. We regard every
prescription as one requiring the
utmost care as to accuracy, and de
manding the highest grade of drugs
that money will buy.
Our ideal prescription service costs you nothing
A
extra. We always strive to give the best of ev
erything at prices that are absolutely fair.

RAILROAD NEWS
FROM POCAHONTAS.
Pocahontas, June 3.—County Clerk
Spikes has received the profile of the
Arkansas and Northern Railroad to
be built from Pocahontas to Newport.
It is thought that construction work
will begin by August 1. The surveys
have been completed and the work of
securing the right of way will begin
at once.
Engineer Burgess and his corps of
Rock Island surveyors were in town
Friday and Saturday. They came
over the same route surveyed by the
Arkansas and Northern from Newport
to Pocahontas.
Mrs. Green Offan of Lima, a few
miles from this place, eave birth to
triplets Monday night, two girls and
one boy. All are doing well.
The continuous rain for the past
week has retarded farm work and
raised Black river several feet.
Among the gentlemen now spoken
of as probable candidates for repre
sentative of Randolph county next
year are Ben A. Brown, Horace E.
Ruff, Capt. Wibiy Canner, M. R. Arm
strong and R. H. Black.

penitentiary, but is now out on bond
pending an appeal to the supreme
court.

FINE COTTON PROSPECTS
ON CUMMINS FARM.
Little Rock, June 3.—Superintend
ent Reese B. Hogins of the state pen
itentiary returned last night from a
visit to the Cummins place in Lincoln
county, and reports that it is high and
dry, and that the levee can easily
stand another eighteen-inch rise,
which is not at all probable. He bad
heard that some of the levees across
the river had broken, but could not
verify the report. He says that there
are 2,200 acres of as fine cotton on the
place as he ever saw at this season.
It stands twelve inches high, has been
hoed twice and plowed once, and is a
healthy, vigorous plant. There are
280 convicts on the place, and all con
ditions are as excellent as one could
wish.
LAST NOTE CANCELLED.
The Newport levee district is en
tirely free of debt, the last notes of
§2180, representing principal and in
terest, having been cancelled Wed
nesday by the board of commissioners.
Only §3.31 is due in the way of back
taxes.
Five thousand dollars was borrowed
originally for the construction of the
new levee and by tne good manage
ment of the commissioners, this in
debtedness has been paid off in four
years instead of five as arranged for.
The levee board will probably re
commend that the care of the levee
be taken by the city, though the dis
trict may be continued and taxes ex
acted for the keeping up of the levee.
WHIST CLUB ENTERTAINED.
The Whist Club had one of those
invariably pleasant meetings at the
home of Mrs. L. Minor Wednesday
afternoon, who is a very cordial host
ess and was upon this occasion as
sisted by Miss Lou Minor and Mrs.
W. A. O’Neal in entertaining.
Refreshments of claret ice, cake
and coffee were nicely Berved and
pretty little burnt wood score cards
were given the players at whist.
Those present were Mesdames D.
Terry, B. M. Crow, B. B. Bond, Narcie
Minor, O. D. Watson, W. W. McMinn,
J. P. Berman, C. R. Hite, R. M. John
son, Gus Martin, Gustave Jones, A. D.
Bailey, Misses Mary Laird, Lucy
Brandenburg and Carrie Stevens.
MARRIAGE LICENSES.
Andrew Hale and Mrs. Mary Col
well, both of Swifton.
Sammie Robinson and Mrs. Susie
Northern, both of Newport.
Charley Williams and Eva Moyer,
both of Jacksonport.
Arthur Gold and Minnie Neal, both
of Tupelo.
James Hall and Delthia Hulen, both
of Swifton.
Will Pellam and Eliza Callahan, both
of Tuckerman.
Tine Enery and Maggie McBride,
both of Newport.
MYSTERIOUS NOTE IN BOTTLE.
A bottle was found on the lake
Thursday by a negro,containing a note
from a man claiming to be J. Marsten,
stating that he intended to drown
himself in the lake and directing those
who found his remains to bury them
where inquiring relatives might later
know his grave.
The note was probably written to
create a sensation, as there are no
other facts to bear out the story, and
the author probably bad no suicidal
intentions.
