Men's Forward Movement.
It having been represented to
me that an erroneous report has
been circulated that I have crit
icized the Men’s Forward Move
ment from my pulpit, I desire
to state that I have never, to the
best of my remembrance, ever
said anything whatsoever about
the movement publicly- The
reason why I have felt unable to
give it my personal support is
because I was led to believe by
the statements of its leaders
that the local organization had
a political significance. Upon
the assurance of the undersign
ed minister that inentering the
movement I shall not be involv
ed in either a union revival or a
union effort of a political nature,
I am very glad to be able to
pledge the Men’s Forward Move
ment my hearty co-operation.

! MALARIAL DISEASES,
How to Avoid Them and the $e
rious Consequences of Neg
lect,
“Fix me up something to knock tfci
malaria, doctor,'' remarked a sallow
faced, sickly looking man, entering i
prominent physician’s office the othe
day.
'Ihe doctor stepped to his medicim
case, took down a couple of bottles, mixec
a preparation which he handed to thi
patient with the customary advice t<
j ’shake well and follow directions,’ anc
resumed his seat.
“Such cases are frequent,” replied the
i doctor in answer to a question. “The
| warm days and damp, chilly nights are
certain malaria breeders and are mosi
serious in those who have neglecteei tc
i keep their stomach, liver anel bowels ic
| good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malarial
germ thrives, and' it is from this class
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright’s
Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis
»ases ai« prevalent.
The pcoper way to guard against the
malarial germ and the serious diseases
which follow it is to get into good condi
tion by taking a reliable remedy that
will keep the bowfels clear and the liver
healthy^and to continue with it at fre
quent intervals during the sickly season.
A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or
four times a week will do all of this, be
sides stimulating the digestion, improv
ing the appetite and keeping the bodily
energy at the highest pitch. t
Prickly Ash Bitters is known every
where us a system tonic anu bowel regu
lator. It not only removes all traces of
malarial poison from the system, but
tones up the vital organs, gives new
strength and vigor, makes the body
strong and the brain active.
“Prickly Ash Bitters is the best all-around
medicine for the family I ever used. During the
oast ten years I have always kept it in my house,
whenever any of my family show signs of mala
ria. kidney trouble, indigestion or constipation
J few doses is ail that is needed to make them

Crop Conditions Only Fair
Crop conditions are not what
they were at this time last year,
on account of the continuous
rains. In the bottoms the
young crops have been washed
out, and in all other sections of
the state, the wet weather has
prevented working until the
fields are well taken by grass.
The rains have also worked hav
oc with the berry crops, but the
warm weather of the past few'
days has brought joy to the
hearts of the berry growlers, and
they expect to reap the harvest,
i The rains affected the crops in
I Texas and Lousiana so there has
been little choice fruit on the
northern markets for the past
three W'eeks, and with continued
hot weather, the Arkansas ber
ries, reaching St. Louis, Chica
go and other cities in prime con
dition, will find the people hun
gry for berries, wrhich means a
steady market and good prices.
With peach prospects poor, the
growers can stand a good berry
season without flooding the
banks with surplus coin.

Found A Model Farmer.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May 13.—R. M.
Hutchins, deputy Commissioner
of Agriculture has just
completed a three months’ tour
of the state, in which he spoke
to 150 audiences on the benefits
of commercial fertilizers. In
his tour Deputy Hutchins dis
covered what he considers the
model farmer in A. H. Nance, on
the W. H- Lightle farm, near
Searcy. Nance took this farm
five years ago, agreeing to pay
a rent of $4 per acre. He found
the land almost barren, but he
lias since worked it up to the
point where it will produce two
l bales of cotton per acre, and will
' devote a considerable time in
the future to the growing of the
staple. The improvement in
the land was made entirely with
crop rotation.
Nance planted oats and peas
for the first two years and made
more money out of the peas than
he would out of cotton. The
third year he raised corn and
j peas, and the next year he
l 'raised, oats, peas and rye.
The renter has continued to be

a renter all this time, although
he made good money each year,
but expended it all on the educa
tion of his children. Nance is
now preparing to buy a farm of
his own, but he has made the
land on which he is residing too
valuable to purchase.

Majority of Friends Thought Mr.
Hughes Would Die, But
One Helped Him to
Recovery.
Pomeroyton, Ky.—In Interesting ad
vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes
writes as follows: "I was down with
stomach trouble for five (5) years, and
would have sick headache so bad, at
times, that 1 thought surely I would die.
1 tried different treatments, but they
did not seem to do me any good.
1 got so bad, I could not eat or sleep,
and all my friends, except one, thought I
would die. He advised me to try
fhedford’s Black-Draught, and quit
taking other medicines. I decided to
take his advice, although I did not have
any confidence in it
1 have now been taking Black-Draught
for three months, and it has cured me—)
haven’t had those awful sick headaches
since I began using it.
I am so thankful for what Blade
Draught has done for me."
Thedford’s Black-Draught has bee*
found a very valuable medicine for de
rangements of the stomach and liver. It
Is composed of pure, vegetable herbs,
contains no dangerous ingredients, and
acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely
used by young and old, and should be
kept in every family chest.
