John M. Smith and Lillard Mel
vin, two negroes who are working
out fines on the county roads un
der the supervision of Deputy
Pasley, escaped from the con
vict camp Tuesday night, accord
ing to news received from Paro
quet. Smith was working out a.
fine for carrying a pistol, and
Melvin for a crap shooting
scrape. ■ ,4^-,.;«**.!•*,
This is a partial solution of the
niystery of the killing of the two
bloodhounds which were kept at
the camp, and which died recent
ly from having eaten ground
glass in tlieir food. The penalty
for escape is double the original
fine, and the circumstances of
the escape will make it rather
hard upon the two bad coons if
they are recaptured, which they
no doubt will be. — Batesville

Young Lady Seriously Injured.
About 2 o’clock Tuesday after
noon a most serious runaway ac
cident occurred on Main street
in which Miss Vela Jernigan of
Sulphur Rock, who is visiting in
Batesville, the guest of the fam
ily of Deputy Circuit Clerk Will
Ward, was most painfully and
seriously injured, says the Bates
ville Guard. 1
Miss Jernigan was driving with
Miss Beryl Ward up Main
street and the touring ear be
longing to Mr. W. A. Rutherford
was standing in front of the Lew
is Hardware Co.
The horse in passing became
frightened and ran up Main streel
at a terrific clip. In front of the
residence of J. J. Barnwell a bug
gy was standing hitched and the
runaway ran into this, overturn
ing both buggies and throwing
two young ladies out
Miss Jernigan was thrown
against the curb, and sustained
a fractured jaw and a broken
leg, with perhaps other injuries
which have not been discovered.
Miss Ward was uninjured with
the exception of the severe jolt
ing occasioned by the fall from
the buggy.
Miss Jernigan was hurried to
the sanitarium of Dr. F. A. Gray,
which very luckily was only a
block distant from the scene of
the accident, where she received
immediate medical attention,and
was resting easily late this af
ternoon.

What Children Teach Us.
unnaren maice us sinaiy luwuiu «ui
children. They open up fountains of
sympathy. Children teach us infinite
ly more than we can teach them
Children are really given to train up a
parent in the way he should go. Chil
dren bring us messages straight from
heaven—messages of innocence, ten
derness, dependence, love. A parent's
love and sacrifice—a true father cr
mother would die for their child—is a
vision of the supreme sacrifice in
Christ. A true home with the child
in the midst becomes a very window
of heaven.
Did Not Work Both Ways.
Mr. George Jones, R. A., a painter
of battle pieces, etc., who died some
years ago, specially prided himself on
his resemblance to the Duke of Well
ington and used to dress up to the
character. Someone mentioned the
likeness to the duke, and added: “It
must be great, for people In the street
often speak to him for your graoe."
"Very strange,” muttered the great
man: "no one ever spoke to me for
Mr. Jones!"—Edmund Yates.

NATURE’S WARNING.
Newport People Must Recognize
And Heed It.
Kidney ills come quietly—mys
teriously,
But nature always warns you
Notice the kidney secretions.
See if the color is unhealthy—
If there are settlings and sedi
ment,
Passages frequent, scanty,pain
ful.
It’s time then to use Doan’s
. Kidney Pills,
To ward off Bright’s disease
or diabetes.
Doan’s have done great work
in this locality.
J. R. Johnson, of Searcy, Ark.,
says: “I can recommend Doan’s
Kidney Pills to any person suf
fering from disordered kidneys.
For some time I had a dull ache
in the small of my back and the
kidney secretions were highly
colored and too frequent in pas
sage. When I heard about Doan’
Kidney Pills, I procured a box
and commenced using them. The
backache soon disappeared and
the passages of the kidney secre
tions became regular. I give
Doan’s Kidney Pills the credit
for my cure.”
