On last Monday morning about
10 o’clock a ’phone message told
of the issuance of saloon license
by the county Judge J. B. Chap
line.
An unmistakable strong senti
ment prevailed ^piong the busi
ness men of Brinkley opposing
the technical point upon which
the judge based his refusal to
grant license and he yielded to
the pressure brought to bear
upon him thro’ this influence, and
granted the license as above.—

WOOD WILL WIN.
I
_
Jefferson County Situation as
Viewed by the Pine Bluff
Courier.
Here is the way the Pine Bluff
Courier figures out the situation
in Jefferson county:
During the past three or four
days several large bets have
been made in this city on ^ the
result of the coming gubernato
rial race. It is conceded by all
well versed politicians that Jef
ferson county will go for Carroll
D. Wood by a large majority. It
will be interesting to the voters
of this county to know that Davis
carried Jefferson two years ago
by only 359 votes. He received
1,313 votes and his opponent,
Col. Rector, 954. Col. Rector re
ceived practically all the anti
Davis votes in this county and
had he been a more popular man
would have undoubtedly carried
Jefferson. It is generally ad
mitted that Wood is a more pop
ular man than Rector, and will
receive twice as many votes as
did Rector. While Davis is tell
ing it everywhere arid on every
occasion that he will carry Jef
ferson, there is no chance for
him to do so.
MAGNOLIAS AND PALMS.

MISSOURI PACIFIC POETRY.
General Passenger Agent H. C.
Townsend of the Missouri Pacific
sent out a pretty holiday card
with the following verses, accom
panying a picture of the train sc
! adequately described:
I This is the train that runs so fast,
Across the plains to mountains
vast;
This is the train that’s never late,
And keeps its service up to date.
This is the train that runs out
west,
And takes you there for work
or rest;
This is the train that runs to the
land
Of mountains high and canons
grand.
j This is the true hotel on wheels
It serves to you the best o1
. meals;
This is the train with lowest rate
St. Louis to the Golden Gate

MISS ROSE OWENS, 1
No. 720 Seventeenth St., WASHINGTON^D.^*^^

“If every suffering woman
has the same experience with
Wine of Cardui that I had,
your medicine will be most
npular. About a year ago
>egan to have a worn out
tired feeling with lassitude,
pains in the back and head
which kept increasing every
month. 1 felt that I needed
something, but to get the
right medicine was the trou
T (in-i lltr A&fiAaA An
your Wine of Cardui and only needed to
take three bottles when I was fully re
covered."
®HEN Miss Rose Owens, who
has a responsible position in
the Government service at
Washington, D. C., decided to
try Wine of Cardui, she made a wise
choice. Over a million women have
been relieved of female weakness by this
same Wine of Cardui. It is not a
strong medicine but may be taken every
day in the year by any woman with
benefit. It does not force results, but
corrects derangements of the menstrual
organs. It strengthens the nervous
system, gives tone to the bodily func
tions, acts directly on the genital
organs, and is the finest tonic for wo
men known to the science of medicine.
If you are a suffering wo
man we would say to you
that Wine of Cardui seldom
fails to completely cure any
ease of female ills. We say
emphatically, it never fails
to benefit. Every day hun
dreds of sufferers are writing
to our Ladies’ Advisory De
partment. The letters are
opened by persons compe
tent to give advice. Mrs.
Jones was cured by follow
mg the advice which was freely given
her by the Ladies’ Advisory Depart
ment. Miss Owens was cured without
advice by just buying a $1.00 bottle of
Wine of Cardui from her druggist and
taking this great medicine in the pri
vacy of her home. No doctor’s ex
amination, treatment or advice is nec
essary. You have read what these two
cured women have written. Is this not
enough to lead you to determine to be
rid or suffering?
August 13, 1900, Mrs. W. H. Jones,
of Cameron, Mo., writes:
"I suffered terribly at monthly periods
for three years. I would sometimes go for
seven months with no flow at all. Now
I have my health back again and am
expecting to be confined in January. I
cannot praise your medicine enough.”
