BAD HEALTH.
Worry, Overwork, Hasty Eating, Ex-!
cessive Use of Liquors, Loss of
Sleep, Neglect of Nature’s
Calls. These Bring on the
Deadly Bright’s Disease.
Thousands Die of it Every Year,
——
Kidney disease is the enemy we have i
most to fear as a result of the feverish I
restlessness of modern civilization. It j
is a treacherous enemy, working out its I
deadly effect under cover of the most
trifling symptoms. The first indication !
of changes in the urine, frequent head- ;
aches, digestive troubles, should be the
signal for prompt remedial measures, j
Prickly Ash Bitters is a kidney remedy *
of the greatest merit; it is soothing,
healing and strengthening, quickly re
lieves the aching or soreness that always
appears in advanced stages, checks the
progress of the disease and through its
excellent cleansing and regulating effect
in the stomach, liver and bowels, it
brings back the strength and ruddy glow
of vigorous health.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Hitters with the
large figure 3 ill red ou the front label.

IMMIGRATION TO
NORTHEAST ARKANSAS.
Point ttfc G runty Securing a Vast
i oi nomeseeKers—ijanu
Increasing in Value as
a Result
“The immigration flowing into
Poinsett and other counties in
northeast Arkansas is greater
than the outside public imag
ines,” said a visitor from that
section recently to a reporter for
the Little Rock Gazette. “The
town of Harrisburg is a beehive
of industry. With building
operations and with the activity
due to the coming of prospectors,
lands have greatly increased in
value in the last few years, but
are still easily within reach of
those looking for desirable abid
ing places where they may secure
adequate returns for the labor
they perform. .
“As a rule the old settler who
sells his farm for a good price
does not pick up and leave the
country, or if he does he almost
invariably comes back and settles
down in dear old Arkansas again.
But to return to the newcomers,
they are for the most part from
Illinois, Michigan and other old
states and they come south prin
cipally because they have tired
of the long and severe winters
north.
“If there could be any way of
accurately computing the invest-!
ments made in Poinsett county'
lands alone in the last year it;
would make a great showing. I j
make the prediction that the as- ;
nAnnArl trnlnoflAn rtf r\Art"\7 1 fl I
UVUUV/Vk * — — x-- W |
Arkansas this year will show an |
increase of fully 10 per cent,'
which would send it up to $275,-1
000,000, and this will represent
only a small part of the enhanced;
value of lands, the additional im
provements in the way of build- i
ings and the added personal prop
erty in the way of watches, pi
anos, etc. Of this increase
Poinsett county alone will fur
nish more than its pro rata share.
I The immigration we are getting
! is of that high class which im
mediately adds to the taxable
wealth of a county in that the
immigrants buy and improve
their property and induce other
immigrants to come.”
