twenty or thirty were expected. If
vines were potatoes, the crop would
have been a bumper.
Several ladies of the Methodist con
gregation had a cotton picking Tues
day afternoon in R. F. Tyer’s cotton
patch to aid in raising conference
claims. I am sure they would not
have me tell just how much each one
picked or how much altogether; but,
on passing Mr. Tyer’s patch after
wards, I observed that they had not
picked all he had open, though each
one of the ladies just vowed she had
worked hard, scarcely taking time to
talk. Tyer still has cotton to pick,
and conference claims are not yet all
collected.
Dr. R. O. Norris was up from Au
vergne several days, returning yes

pickers scarcer than usual. Several
families of pickers could find work
and shelter in this vicinity.

SWIFTON.
School is progressing nicely. Quite
a number of new students entered
this week.
As Taylor and Bert Keton were
driving out of town Monday evening
their team became frightened and
ran, throwing Bert out and injuring
him to that extent he has had to drop
out of school for the time being.
Cotton picking has been greatly
hindered in this section this week on
account of cold weather and rain.
Prof. Lambert went down to New
port Wednesday morning.
The Rev. McCaffery returned from
a three weeks’ stay in Alabama Sun
day.
Work on the concrete sidewalks be

The freeze this week did a great
deal of damage to the late hay crop of
this section.

YV hat better proof of merit can
be had than such endorsement ?
Mrs. Laura Mink, It. F. D. No.
2, Box 92, Newport, Ark., says:
“My back was weak, which was
particularly noticeable just af
ter I had been doing my house
work. There was pain in my
loins which came on suddenly.
My back ached terribly and I was
driven almost frantic. I had
heard so many people praise
Doan’s Kidney Pills that I finally
•ot a box at Dutton’s Drug Store,
(now YY’alker’s Pharmacy).
True to their reputation, this
one box cured me. I have not
had to use a kidney remedy since
It gives me pleasure to recom
mend Doan’s Kidney Pills to
other kidney sufferers.”

Did You Ever Wash Clothes
in the old fashioned way with
wooden washtubs?
Perhaps that is still your method
and you look forward to each wash
day with delight. Well, hardly !
A set of "Standard" laundry
trays would mean an orderly laun

ance and easier laundering and your
satisfaction would not be lessened
