B LL TO DISBAR
JOHN V. ROBERTS.
—
Prosecutini? Attorney Andrews
Seeks to Disbar Roberts From
Further Practice.
Searcy, Jan. 19.—Prosecuting
Attorney Andrews has filed a
bill in the White county circuit
court which is now in session to
disbar Attorney John V. Rob
erts, one of the principals in the
celebrated Lightle-Roberts insu
rance swindle case. The case
has been set for trial next Fri
day.
Roberts will resist the bill and
be defended by ex-Attorney Gen
eral Murphy and Judge Stuckey.
The grave robbery cases have
not yet been set by the court for
trial, but it is thought that they
will not be taken up until the
latter part of the session of the
court, since it will take two or
three weeks to try them.
Dr. Lightle has not been seen
since the first day of the court,
and the report that he would
plead guilty cannot be confirmed,
but it is generally understood
that he expects to make a clean
breast of the whole affair and
take the sentence, which by the
terms of the agreement is said
to be two years in the peniten
tiary.

CABBAGE SNAKE
MAKES APPEARANCE.
The cabbage snake has arrived
in Jonesboro. This member of
; .the reptile family has been heard
from in many portions of the
country since its advent in Ten
nessee last summer, and news of
the discovery of the various spec
imens was received with various
degrees of credulity, but at least
what appears to be a real speci
men of the cabbage snake has
appeared in Jonesboro.
Yesterday, as Mrs. James Tip
pen, who lives in West Jonesbo
ro, was preparing cabbage for
dinner and was placing some of
the shredded cabbage in a vessel,
when she suddenly felt a crawl
ing sensation on her wrist. Look
ing quickly, she saw a diminu
tive, squirming snake or worm.
It was about the size of a twine
string, and nearly eight inches
long. She shook it off in haste
and it was placed in a bottle. Ii
substance the “snake” resem

WHEN THE KIDNEYS
ARE AILING.
The Urgent Need of Prompt Restora
tive Measures is Something
That Every One Should
Understand.
“A Stitch in Time Saves Nine.”
Slight disorders in the kidneys or uri
nary organs are more serious than most
people think. The first warning symp
toms should receive prompt medical
treatment to ward off Bright’s Disease
or some other dangerous malady. When
the kidneys are ailing and the symptoms
become sufficiently pronounced to be
noticeable the condition calls at once
for prompt measures to stay the progress
of the disease. Prickly Ash Bitters is
the remedy needed. Taken on the ap
pearance of the first symptoms, such as
pain in the back, puffiness under the
eyes, irregularities in the urine, digestive
disorders, it will save the victim incal
culable misery and suffering, mental
torture and expense. Used at the begin
ning of the trouble it cures quickly.
Used in the more advanced stages it will
win back health and strength as rapidly
as circumstances will possibly permit.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
large figure 8 in red on the front label.
Sold at Drug Stores, 91.00 Per bottle.
and the latter with a $31,000
capital. That each will be suc
cessful in its field is assured, as
the officers are men whose ability
has already been proven, and the
new corporations are among our
strongest financially.

Reward will be paid to any
person who can find one atom
of opium, chloral, morphine,
cocaine, ether or chloroform
in any form in any of Dr.
Miles’ Remedies.
This reward is offered because
certain unscrupulous persons
make false statements about
these remedies. It is under
stood that this reward applies
only to goods purchased in the
open market, which have not
been tampered with in any way.
Dr. Miles’ remedies cure by
their soothing, nourishing,
strengthening and invigorat
ing effects upon the nervous
system, and not by paralyzing
and weakening the nerves as
would be the case if these drugs
were used.
For this reason Dr. Miles’
Anti-Pain Pills are universally
considered the best pain remedy
“I have suffered for 25 years with
severe pains in my head, heart and
back, and have tried everything I
could get and could not find any relief
until I got a box of Dr. Miles’ Anti
Pain Pills. I suffered as long as 12
hours at a time with such severe
pains that I feared I would lose my
mind. The Anti-Pain Pills gave me
relief In from 10 to 20 minutes. I do
not have to use Morphine any more.
I wish you would publish this so that
other sufferers may find relief."
