MORE COLONISTS
COMING TO ARKANSAS.
Have Options On 20,000 Acres of
Land in Jefferson County
Coming From St. Louis.
Pine Bluff, May20.—Delegates
representing a party of German
colonists from St. Louis are in
the city with a view to buying a
tract of land in Jefferson county
between Redfield and Kearney
for the purpose of locating the
colony in Jefferson county.
They have obtained an option
on 20,000 acres and say that if
their plans do not miscarry they
will want about 80,000 more,
making a total of 100,000 acres.
Messrs. Seisinger, Cliker and
Anderson are the leaders of the
party. They say there are about
500 families of Germans in St.
Louis who want to come to Ar
kansas and establish a colony.
The Germans propose to estab
lish a town in that section. Their
principal occupation will be farm
ing and garden truck raising.
If they can secure land they
promise to bring families from
Servia and Austria to the settle
ment. ___^_

Postal Card Too Small
Mrs. A. T. Neal, of Maryville, Mo.,
Says:*
“A postal card is to small to begin my
praise of your wonderful preparation, Par
acamph. My first experience with Para
camph was about one year ago; my little
girl was very badly burned with hot grease
One of my kind neighbors recommended
Paracamph and gave me what she had on
hand, as we live in the country and could
not immediately get it from town. The first
I application gave relief. We used about
three bottles and the burns were healed up
nicely, although they were very bad burns.
My little girl was playing and fell knock
ing the grease in her lap; she was burned
on both legs from the knees almost to her
hips, and in removing her clothing a great
deal of the skin came off, leaving her legs
perfectly raw. I have used Paracamph for
a great many things since then, and never
like to be without itin my house. I have
quite a family and find it a great task to
write, but I hope my letter will reach you
in time, as I am a great friend of Para
camph. I could tell you more of its good
works but guess this will be enough for
this time. I am always willing to sound
the praise of a valuable remedy.”
This letter should convince all mothers
of the necessity for keeping in their homes
a bottle of Paracamph. This wonderful
remedy is needed almost every day in the
year. It not only relieves pain quickly
but it heals all manner of wounds without
leaving ugly scars. Get a bottle of Para
camph today, and if it fails to do what we
claim for it and if you don’t find it is the
most useful remedy you have ever had in
your home, we will refund your money.
All good druggist sell it in 25 cent, 50
cent, and $1.00 bottles. The Paracamph
