NOT AN ISOLATED CASE
— ■ ■
Many Similar Cases In Newport
and Vicinity.
_
This Newport man’s story giv
en here is not an isolated case by
any means; week after week;
year after year, our neighbors
are telling similar good news,
Joseph F. Brown, farmer, R.
F. D- No. 2, Box 61 a, Newport,
Arkansas, says: “I suffered off
and on for several years from ;
kidney complaint- The kidney se
cretions passed irregularly, the 1
Mow usually being too frequent
and obliging me to get up at
night. Dull, heavy pains seated
themselves in the small of my
back and when I stooped, sharp
twinges darted through me. I
wrent from bad to worse until I
got Doan’s Kidney Pills at Dut
ton's Drug Store, (now Walker’s
Pharmacy). A few boxes cured
me.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy |
—get Doan’s Kidney Pills— the
same that Mr. Brown had. Fos

Last Day For Ducks.
Next Thursday, January 15,
will be the last day for the duck
hunters to enjoy their sport un
til the season opens next fall.
The closed season on killing
ducks, geese and other water
fowl in Arkansas begins Janu
ary 15. The open season begins
November 1 of each year and
remains open during the re
mainder of the fall and winter
months until January 15
This year has been an excep
tionally lucky one for hunters.
The fat mallards and wild geese
together with other species of
the toothsome game, have in
fested the rice fields and water
places of the state in great
numbers. Because of the mild
weather, several species of
the late migrating birds were
scarce, but the mallard, the
i king of the ducks, has been plen
tiful. Many “big kills” have
been made.
Mr. J. H. Thatch of Fordyce,
with the Merrill Publishing
Company, was a visitor for a
short while at the High School
Monday morning.
Three trained hounds, four
good guns (two double-barreled)
one pair of hip boots, coat and
hunting horn left for sale cheap

with It for soma distance, dropped It
The lady made two other shots, and

JUDGE EUGENE LANKFORD I
WITHDRAWS FROM RACE
_ !
Finds Duties As Judge Will Not
Permit Him to Make
Canvass
—
Judge Eugene Lank ' wd has
decided not to make the race for
congress from the Fifth district
as has been his intention. Many
of his friends here expressed
their surprise and regret when
they read in Sunday morning's
paper the news of his withdraw
al. His reasons for the course
he has taken are fully set forth
in the following letter:
“I think I should give my ;
friends and the people of my dis-!
trict my reasons for not mah-j
ing the race for Congress at this
time, in view of the many solic
itations and the scores of letters
that I have received from
friends tendering me their sup
port in the race.
“As many of you know. T pre
ferred all along to wait till next i
time, two years from now, to !
make this race, but many of my
friends insisted “that now is
the time,” and I was led to be
lieve that I would have time be
tween courts to make the cam
paign and they still assured me
that 1 can win m tins mree
cornered race” if I will take tlie
time to canvass the district.
"But after a due considera
tion of the matter I do not be
lieve I shall have time to make
the campaign in the short time
we have, without neglecting my
official duties, and that I will
not do. The fact that “others
do it,” does not satisfy my con
science-”
“I think that an officer should
first comply with the contract
he makes with the people when
they elect him, and prove faith
ful to his duty in the office he
has. before he asks the people
for other favors.
“My life’s ambition is to serve
you in Congress, but I had rath
er have your respect and confi
dence and the consciousness of
doing my duty, and be a private
citizen, than be president and be
without these. Some politicians
may not understand that, but
ordinary' honest people will.
“When my time as circuit
judge expires I shall retire to
private life, practice law and
look after my “Jersey farm.”
And if, in the future date (when
I have the time and money to
make the race,) I should think
that you will honor me by elect
ing me to Congress, I shall
gladly consider it.
“This note explains why I
have not announced, and am not
a candidate at this time.
“I wish to thank all my
friends for their friendly inter
est in my behalf.
Your Friend,
Eugene Lankford.
