POINTS THE WAY.
The Statement of This Searcy
Resident Will Interest Our
Readers.
Our neighboring town, Searcy,
points the way in the words of
one of its most respected resi
dents :
A. L. Phillips, W. Race street,
Searcy, Arkansas, says:
“For many years I was af
flicted with rey trouble. I
had a dull pain in the small of
my back and often during the
day, dizzy spells came over me.
The kidney secretions contained
sediment and their irregularity
annoyed me. It was hard to
get out of bed in the morning,
due to backache. Doan’s Kid-1
ney Pills did me a world of;
; good.” ,
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don t
simply ask for a kidney remedy
1—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the
'same that Mr. Phillips had. Fos

Spend A Million For Roads.
Lakeland, Fla., March 4, 1914.
Mr. P. H. Van Dyke,
Newport, Ark
Dear Sir:
I am sending you under sepa
rate cover, a booklet of Lake
land, Florida. If you will un
fold the back, you will see a
bird’s eye view of Lakeland;
you can see the location of the
beautiful lakes, all of which
there are about nine in and right
near the city limits. If you will
examine this booklet, you will
see very readily why I live in
such a place. The climate is ex
cellent.
The roads are very fine. We
will have a macadamized road
that will be completed in the
near future, just a few gaps to
l finish now, designated as the
I National Highway, running
from Jacksonville in a south
westerly course, through Or
lando, Lakeland, Tampa, and to
the west coast, a distance of a
bout 260 miles; with other num
erous roads as tributaries to this
main road, quite a number of
wmcn are aireaav ouiit.
Hillsboro county has voted a
million dollars bond issue and
has sold the bonds and is now
preparing to build roads with
it. I certainly wish you could
see the fine driveways that we
have in Florida.
If you will talk with Roe
Tims, who has just left for Ar
kansas, he can tell you all about
it.
I want to congratulate you on
the success you have made in
tie papers that? (‘-3*’wq
getting out one of the best lit
tle papers that I have ever
read. I certainly enjoy reading
it.
With best wishes to you and
all of my old friends in old
Jackson county, I am,
Very truly yours,
J. W. SCALLY.
