May Be National Highway.
Dr. H. L. Throgmorton of Po
cahontas is in receipt of a com
munication from a gentleman at
Pittsburg, Pa., relative to an au
’ tomobile turnpike to be con
structed from Poplar Bluff, Mo.
to Newport, Ark., via Pocahon
tas, say the Star Herald. The
letter asks suggestions as to the
most practical route to be taken
in order to get as many towns
as possible on the road. The dia
gram as shown by the writer
comes parallel with the Frisco
railroad all fhe way from Poplar
Bluff to this place.
The proposition is being inves
tigated by leading citizens here
and considerable interest is
manifested. It is thought that
perhaps this is to be a part of
the National highway which is
to extend from Pittsburg, Pa.,
— to Laredo, Tex., and if so the
proposition is well worth going
after.

The Fayetteville
Sentinel is a good roads booster
right. Here is what he says in
an issue of recent date: “When
the people can be made to under
stand that it actually costs more
in time and money to travel over
a poor road than it does to trav
el over a good one, they will be
less inclined to begrudge the ex
pense of good roads and what is
more important still will be will
ing and anxious to put the busi
ness of road making into the
I hands of intelligent men who un
derstand the business. Poor
roads are the expensive things
that curse the country.”
Bad roads cost the people of
any community a large sum an
nually in time, repair bills, stove
up horses, and additional feed,
not to mention the worry, incon
venience and discomfort they
cause.
Yet people will go on, year af
ter year, traveling the same old
bad roads, and cuss the overseer
because they have to pay fifty
cents or a dollar road tax, as if
they thought the six-bits they
pay into the road fund ought to
build a turnpike from their
front door right up to the Gol
den Gate of the New Jerusalem.
If, instead of cussing the over
Cl AAV on a tho rvtnrl tnv thpv
would get together and do some
real work on the roads, in a few
years this country would have
some good roads.
Six dollars per capita in New
ark would build concrete side
walks along the principal streets
of Newark. But start a move
ment to tax each inhabitant $3
per annum for two years for
this purpose, and a few old cod
gers around here would spend
$50 apiece in an effort to defeat
it, and put in a month’s time ca
vorting around as if they
thought the world was en the
road to fiftancial ruin and would
go to smash if it were not for
them.
There are some people in the
world, who, if they were drop
ped into the heart of Africa,
wouldn’t give two-bits to have
a path cut out to the pale of civ
ilization.—Newark Journal.
Thrown From Train.
Buck Duck of Newport was
painfully injured in attempting
to catch outgoing passenger
train No. 210 here Sunday night.
The train had started before
h attempted to get on, and as
the last car passed the depot, he
attempted to swing on to the
rear. The train was going pret
ty fast and he failed to make
connection and was thrown to
the ground with considerable
force, bruising his face and caus
ing blood to flow from his nose
for several minutes.—Newark
Journal.
MILD, GENTLE LAXATIVE
FOR WOMEN GIVEN FREE
S® many of the ills of women are
due to habitual constipation, probably
because of their false modesty on the
subject, that their attention cannot be
too strongly called to the importance
of keeping the bowels open. It is
always important to do that, regard
less of the sex, but it is especially
important in women.
From the time the girl begins to
menstruate until mentsruation ceases
she has always vastly better prospects
of coming through healthy if she
watches her bowel movements. If you
find yourself constipated, with bad
breath, pimply complexion, headaches,
belching gas and other symptoms
of indigestion and constipation, take
» small dose of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin. It is woman’s favorite laxa- ]
tive. You will find that you can do
away with salts, strong cathartics,
etc., which are entirely unsuited to
woman’s requirements.
Mrs. Katherine Haberstroh of Mc
Kees Rocks, Pa., and Mrs. A. E. Her
rick of Wheeler, Mich., who was al
most paralyzed in her stomach and
bowels, are now cured by the use of
this remedy. A free sample bottle
can be obtained by addressing Dr.
Caldwell, and after you are convinced
of its merits buy it of your druggist
at fifty cents and one dollar a bottle.
For the free sample address Dr. W.
B. Caldwell, £41 Caldwell building,
Monticello, Ilk
from Newport. Dr. Taylor was
born and reared here, till he en
tered college when quite young,
as a student of the U. of A., lat
er a teacher there, and last as a
student and teacher in Columbia
university. Dr. Taylor last year
made a tour of England, France,
Italy and other old-world coun
tries.—Corning Courier.
Great Notions Of Arkansas.
There are some people in the
North who have a very hazy no
tion of things in Arkansas. Peo
ple up north think that the state
is still full of bears and deer and
the razor-back hogs and such.
But they v/ere never further
from the truth.
A merry-go round manufac
turer of the North has written
to Mayor Taylor of Little Rock
for the names of dealers in deer
horns. “\Ve learn that there is
an abundance of deer horns in
your section and as we use them
in the manufacture of our goods,
w«? w ould appreciate a list of the
dealers.” There are not enough
deer-horns in the state for a
dealer to handle them even as a
side line.

Says Pen Reforms a Man.
Herman Welborn, who has
just completed a sentence in the
federal prison at Atlanta for
selling whisky, arrived home at
Batesville Friday morning says
the Guard.
Herman states that he has no
complaint whatever to make of
his treatment in prison. He
says that it is a model institu
tion, and if there is any man
hood left in a fellow it will de
velop there. Herman states now
that all he desires is an oppor
tunity to do the right thing,and
we are sure that if he demon
strates his intentions in this
line, his former friends and ac
quaintances will be glad to see
him succeed. He should have
the opportunity and the Guard
wishes him well.
Foley’s Kidney Remedy vs. a
Hopeless Case.
Hon, Ark., J. E. Freeman
says: "I had a severe case of

Kidney Remedy cured me and I
have never been bothered since.
I always recommend it.”—W. E.

Bhellhom, Ala.—In a letter from this
place, Mrs. Carrie May says: "A short
time ago, I commenced to have weak
j spells and headaches. I felt bad all
the. time, and soon grew so bad 1
couldn't stay up. I thought I would die.
At last my husband got me a bottle
of Cardul, and It helped me; so he got
some more. After I had taken the
second bottle, I was entirely well.
I wish every lady, suffering from
womanly trouble, would try Cardul.
It Is the best medicine I know of. It
did me more good than anything I ever
used."
Cardul Is a woman’s tonic—a
