There is not a provision in Act
No- 3, which, if omitted, would
not weaken the act and make it
of less service to the people, and
less of the power for the public
good. In fact, some public men
of Arkansas have criticised Act
No. 3 because they say it does
not go far enough, but should
include publicity of affairs of
school boards and other public
bodies. Be this as it may, thou
sands of thinking people in Ar
kansas are agreed on this propo
sition that Act No. 3 will be the
greatest tax equalizer which has
ever made itself felt in this
State. That through the effi
ciency, honesty and economy in
public affairs its passage will
cause to be saved to the public,
Several times enough money to
pay the entire publication ex
pense, and in addition to that,
will confer upon the public, all
the benefits that arise from an
economical, honest and efficient
administration of the public’s
business.

Next Convention To Tuckerman.
The Sunday School Convention
that convened in this city Sat-,
urday evening, came to a close ,
Monday evening, the final bus- j
iness being the election of offi
cers. The day’s progx’am was j
crowded with good things in the j
way of excellent talks and pa- j
pers on Sunday School work. It :
would be hard to discriminate
as to which was the best, for all
were of a very high standard.
All on the program were pres
ent, except Miss Lois Gardner,
but Miss Elizabeth Pugh sub- 1
stituted excellently for her.
Others on the program during
the day were, Rev- John Mc
Elvy of Swifton, Rev. -J- A- Rob
erts and Mrs. Charles Greenhaw
of Tuckerman, Mrs. James R.
Davis of Auvergne, Mrs. E. L.
Boyce, Mrs. Geo- K- Stephens,
Mrs- Lillie Gregory, Miss Rita
Whitten and Will Hurley of
Newport. The evening services
were devoted entirely to the
teaching of temperance in the
Sunday School. The talks on
this subject were made by Fred
R. Suits, Ben H. White and P.
S. White- Each of these was
splendid, as well as practical and
no doubt will inspire a greater
interest in the teaching of that
particular subject in the Sun
day Schools of Jackson county.
The retiring president, W. ft.
Rice of Tuckerman, received
many words of thanks and ap
preciation for his interest and
work during his three or four
years as president, during which
time he has made the Associa
tion a much stronger and bet
ter one.
Judge L. D. Smith of Tucker-j
man was elected president, -J. (
D. Carvell re-elected vice presi
dent, Mrs- Ferdinand Tonney of
Swifton, secretary and treasur- j

Yellowstone National Park,
July 23, 1914
To the Independent and Readers
It has been an extraordinary
pleasure, I might say privilege,
for me to have spent the past
two months in the Yellowstone
National Park. While I have j
been enjoying the cool breezes j
of this great Rocky Mountain
region, however, I have been
very sorry to read of the
drought and heat of Jackson
county in particular and the
middle west in general. Our
highest temperature has been
$0 degrees arid that for only one
day. At night and morning we
must have fires in our tent, and
sleep very comfortably under
blankets all through the sum
mer
Among many pleasures of the
Park, one of the best is trout
fishing. Sportsmen find here
the gamest fish in the world and
season is always open- And, it
is no small part of the fun to en
joy, in true Epicurean style, big
Rainbow and Mountain trout
served up a vaunted dish on our
table.

take much encouragement to in

been said is true and more.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, July 28—J- S.
Carpenter, who was cashier of
the Bank of Wynne, which clos
ed last Saturday, has been ap
pointed by State Bank Commis
sioner Davis as special deputy
commissioner to liquidate the
affairs of the bank. This is the
first time the cashier of a bank
has been appointed to such a po
sition, but it was found that the
people of Wynne have confidence
in the officials of the bank, and
the appointment gives general
satisfaction. It is probable that
arrangements will be made for
a reorganization.
The assets are about $114,000,
the deposits $76,000, and the
capital stock $25,000. The
bank’s inability to continue was
caused, according to Mr- Davis,
by its connection with the Bank
ers’ Trust Company of St. Louis,
with which a number of Arkan
sas banks have financial rela
tions. Through the efforts of
the Bank Department the Bank
of Wynne was recently able to
realize on over $30,000 of its
Bankers Trust Co. assets- It is
generally believed that with ju
dicious handling of the assets,
the depositors will be paid in
full.

Rsaaon for Superiority.
The domestication of animals aad
the utilization of plants does not go
very far except under a civilized peo
ple. Contrast the age of Peru and
Mexico with that of Egypt. Babylonia
and China: and one reason for old
world superiority in the mastery of
lature is platu
Convincing.

CONSTIPATION.
Its Cause and How to Cure it
Eat too much.
Stomach feels bloated,
All out of sorts,
Don’t feel like work to-day. Gues:
I’ve another case of biliousness.
“Take anything
“Yes, some pills, but no results; sup
pose I’m getting iron*lad. Sometimes 1
double the dose, then they physic me sc
hard I’m too weak to work. Think I’l’
have to try something new.”
“Ever try Prickly Ash Bitters?”
“No; I’ve heard a good de*l about it
but never tried it.”
“Well, you’ll be pleased with the re
suits.”
The purgative action of Prickly As’r
Bitters not only removes hard impac
tions, gas and impurities, but it strength
ens the muscular action of the bowels
which causes them to move r-gulany.
Prickly Ash Bitter0- is a bowei tonic
and regulator in the truest sense. It
■oromotes daily evacuations, establishes
healthy movements and is the best
known remedy for disordered digestion,
flatulence and a constipated habit.
D. M. Blackwelder, of Litchfield, 111., fays i.
the Litchfield Nevus: "lam perfectly willing, in
fact glad to testify to tne value of Prickly Aat
Bitters as a medicine for the kidneys, stomach
«nd bowels. I ha--- used It whenever I needed
anything of the kind for the last fifteen years
and it has always gi-ea satisfaction.”
