VISITORS’ RECEPTION
IN BATESVILLE.
The train from Newport Tues
day .morning brought in a consid
erable number of citizens, accom
panied by their handsome wives
and children. They came from
NowrwH- nnrJ wprp nut. to snend
the day seeking pleasure them
selves and to add to the joy of
others.
From the depot they drove to
the Home, where the visitors
were greeted by the happy in
mates. The visitors were well
provided with baskets filled with
good things which are always
the chief attractions on such oc
casions. The day was spent most
pleasantly. The dinner, which
was in great abundance, was
served on the grounds.
In the afternoon the Citizens’
band marched to the Home and
treated our Newport friends to
some of its excellent music.
About 2:30 a rain began to fall,
which put an end to the outdoor
sports. Our citizens and the
Home are always glad to wel
come the Newport Odd Fellows,
and all unite in wishing them
many more happy anniversaries.

LETTER TO MR. J. W.
GRUBBS, NEWPORT, ARK.
Dear Sir: You are interested
in the prosperity of your town.
You can contribute to it materi
ally, and give it a far more pros
perous look at the same time.
Perhaps the public property
needs a good coat of paint.
Devoe will supply that coat
with two thirds of the number of
gallons required of any other.
Devoe is all paint and full meas
ure. Devoe is the strongest paint
known. Devoe will take care of
the property, in the long run, for
half the money required by any
other.
The reason is stated above;
Devoe is all paint and full meas
ure; the strongest paint known.
E. D. Jewel, Corrv, Pa., paint
ed his house 5 years ago with a
mixed paint; took 14 gallons.
Last spring he repainted with
Devoe; bought 14 gallons and
had 4 left. Saved $15 to $20,
for painting costs two or three
times as much as the paint.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,
95 New York and Chicago.

Mayor Gibson attended the

day and returned home Wed
nesday.
The steamer Welcome depart
ed for points down White river
Monday, returning Wednesday
with a good trip of wagon stock
for Houston & Curtis of Chicago
and Taylor & Gibson of Jackson
port.
White river is now low enough
for the people along its banks to
get busy, and most of them are
we hear.
Stephen P. Bailey, organizer
for the Fraternal Home, is ex
pected here Wednesday. A num
ber of his lieutenants are in town
awaiting his arrival, and there’ll
be something doing in the old
town tonight, methinks.
Mrs. Lowery Grant has been
auite ill, but is improving at this
writing.
We hear that Jacksonport is
going to be honored with a brass
band made up from her own citi
zens. We can not doubt it if the
sounds we hear count for any
thing. Let the good work go on,
boys. Always did say Jackson
port would be in the lead some
day.
R. W. Anderson will hereafter
be known as “Sweet Potato
Bob.” His sales this year on the
plants will more than double last
year’s. He is the busiest man
in town, we believe.
Jno. P. Jones has, we note,
added shingles to his already
complete line.
Miss Mamie Riddell returned
from down White river on the
steamer Welcome Wednesday.
The friends of Miss Allie An
derson spent a very pleasant
evening at her home last Wed
nesday evening. A number of
young men from Newport were
present, and also several young
ladies from the country. All en
joyed themselves in various ways
and we are sure all present did
justice to the dainties placed be
fore them in the dining hall.
Among those from Newport were
Messrs. Geo. L. Grant, Sprigg
Foushee, Will Hurley, Will
Sprigg, Dr. Ira Erwin and Mr.
Smith.
We note that the list of Inde
pendent correspondents is grow
ing. That is very good indeed.
There are many who read the
paper that are now away from
home and it pleases them only
too well to hear from their re
spective homes and to know what
their friends are doing. One can
not appreciate the real value of
’ the home paper until they get
far away and then the desire to
know what the old folks and
others at home are doing be
comes irresistible.
Now we hope to hear from
Rattle Box and all the others.
As my time is limited I am
compelled to bid you adieu.

mEN thousand cured
women have written
to tell how Wine of
Cardui bestows the
blessing of health on every
woman who takes it, rich
and poor alike. Mr3.
Helena Blau, No. 123 Sev
enth Street, Milwaukee,
Wis., is one of the young
women whom Wine or Car
dui has rescued from a life
of suffering. She writes:
“Vine of Cardui is certainly ‘worn
out' women's best friend and I am pleased
to give my experience with it. A few
months ago I caught a severe cold, hav
ing been out in inclement weather, which
settled all over me, particularly in the
abdomen. I was in almost constant pain.
I consulted a physician and took his
medicine for a month and without any
relief. I then decided I would try your
medicine and it was a lucky day for me
when I did so. I noticed a change in a
few days and felt encouraged to continue
taking Vine of Cardui, and my patience
was rewarded, for in two weeks my pains
had left me and?felt like a new woman."
! The woman who has suf
I ered from female weakness
I should do anything within
reason to secure health.
Wine of Cardui is the medi
cine that appeals to reasona
ble women — women who
hold operations and cutting
in horror—women who know
that Nature is the best phy
sician. Wine of Cardui
gives women back their
health by gimng Nature a
Caance to uuiiu up mu waetuu auu uis
eased tissue. Wine of Cardui regulates
the menstrual flow and Nature, when
relieved of the drains or of the poisons
in the system, makes the functional
organs strong and healthy again.
Any woman who is silently suffering
untold pains because she is too sensitive
to undergo a physician’s examination
and treatment can find no excuse for
not securing relief when Wine of Car
dui is offered to her. There is nopub
licitv to deter her. She can take Wine
of Cardui in the privacy of her home,
with as much assurance of a final cure
as though a dozen doctors recommended
it. Many physicians do recommend
Wine of Cardui to thdr patients.
Why not get a $1.00 bottle of Wine
of Cardui from your druggist today?
