Yes, Sir, said the oldest in

man today if I’d had a little
sense when I was younger- Why
I can remember when the main
street of this town was nothing
but a cow track. I could a got
the best corner on it for a song
—and I’m no singer either.”
This is an old story, awfully old,
and every time it is told the lis-!
tener shakes his head and says:
“Well, you certainly passed up
your chance. I wish I had it.”
But nobody seems to know that
he is passing up his chance.

Has Faith In Friedman Cure.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 29.—When
such men as Hugh W- Gates,
who has for many years been a
leading insurance man of Ark
ansas, assumes charge of the
Friedman tuberculosis cure for
this state, it means that there is
much more merit to the alleged
cure than scierttists and the
medical profession have lead the
people to believe.
When Dr. Friedman first came
to the United States he was met
with much opposition, though
the public at large was reluctant
to pass adverse criticism until
he had an opportunity to demon
strate his cure. Little has been
said in the past few months re
garding the cure, and while the
people w'ere as much interested
as ever in a discovery which
would relieve the ravages of the
great White Plague, they had
almost forgotten it.
Now Mr- Gates announces he
has made arrangements to have
treatments under the Friedman
system, given in Little Rock,
and public interest is again
aroused. Mr. Gates sent his
brother, Lawrence, to New York
when Dr. Friedman first came
to this country. He received one
injection of the serum and
though he was bedridden at that
time, has shown marked im
provement since. Mr- Gates al
so observed many other cases
and finally decided that there
was so much merit to the cure
that he would make the invest
ment necessary to relieve the
stricken people of his native
state.
“The Friedman cure, like all
other cures,” says Mr. Gates,
“does not cure all cases. I have
personally watched many of the
people treated and believe that
all have been benentted, though
many have spoiled their own
chance of recovery through re
turning to work after they have
over-estimated their strength
due to the rapid impi'ovement
shown, and their desii'e to be
pi'oducers again after such a
long idleness. Thei*e ai'e a num
ber of cases inv Arkansas that
are checked ”
It is estimated that thei'e are
100,000 people in Arkansas who
are afflicted in some way with
tuberculosis, and if the cure
should prove of merit, in spite
of the fight that has been made
against it, it will be a God send
to the stricken ones.
Marianna Lid On Tight.
Marianna, July 28—The lid
was clamped tighter in Marianna
Sunday than on any Sunday in
the history of the city. It was
impossible to get anything bor
dering on a luxury. Late Sat
urday evening the ice plants, liv
ery stables and automobile gar
ages were notified by county of
)
I
ficials that if they opened for
business Sunday to appear Mon
day to answer the charge of vio
lating the Sabbath About one
week ago similar orders were is
sued by the city authorities to
those engaged in the sale of
soft drinks, cigars, etc., carrying
out an ordinance of the council
passed a few weeks ago, and it is
supposed that the recent action
is traceable to the first step ta
ken.
Dentist Hurt In Fire.
Jonesboro, July 29.—Dr- W. O.
Finch, a dentist, was seriously
burned on the arms and lower
limbs this afternoon when a
vulcanizer he was working ex
ploded. While the wounds are
painful, it is not thought they
will prove fatal. He was given
attention by Dr. Jackson and re
moved to St. Bernard’s hospital
McCuliy-Ponder Wedding.
A wedding of interest to their
large circle of Newport friends
was the marriage of James
Bradner McCully and Miss Susie
Montgomery Ponder of Walnut
Ridge, which took place at the
home of the groom’s mother,
Mrs. William McCully in Little
Rock Tuesday afternoon. The
ceremony was witnessed by the
immediate families including the
bride’s mother and brother, Mrs.
Mary Ponder and Hon. Harry
Ponder of Walnut Ridge, all of
whom passed through here on
No. 18 last evening on their re
turn home to HoXie and Walnut
Ridge.
Their many friends in this
city, w'ho hold them in much es
teem, extend congratulations
and best wishes for a happy wred
ded union.
