TUCKERMAN NEWS.
An aeroplane passed over this
town one day last week. 1* rom
whence it came and whither it was
going is not known. It is supposed
to have come from Eberts Field at
Lonoke. It attracted the attention of
many people here who say that it
was flying low and was easily visible.

and business at Little Rock several
days during the past week..

The school board at a recent meet
j ing decided to add another teacher
| to the faculty of the public school.
: Another grade was also added and in
I the future twelve grades will be
j taught. The Grammar department
| will have eight grades- and the high
school four. The course of study of
fered will %e as complete as that of
any other high school in the state

ing which is also very essential and
which will probably be provided for

Work on the new school building is
progressing in a very satisfactory
way. The entire lower part of the
building is expected to be complete
within the next thirty days. Ar
rangements have been made whereby
the fall term of school will open dur
ing the latter part of September.
While much of the finishing touches

the school will open promptly and
that work can be completed without
undue hindrance to the regular school
work.

“I Can Recommend Tanlac In the

lac,” is the frank statement of Dr.
S. J. Parker, a well known dentist
of Roanoke, Alabama.
“I had a bad form of stomach trou
ble, which distressed me continually
or all these years,” he continued.
“Terrible headaches would come on
me frequently as a result of a nause
ated and upset stomach and would
last for hours. These attacks would
come as often as two and three times
a week. I lost weight rapidly and,
although I tried several of the most
approved remedies for this trouble,
it resisted treatment and I continued
to go down hill.
“I read aboflt what Tanlac was do
ing everywhere, and though I was
skeptical about proprietary medi
cines, I gave it a trial. I hadn’t fin
ished the first bottle until I saw fav
orable results, and I have continued
to improve unt” my stomach is
completely set in order and the oth
er conditions arising from it have
been entirely relieved. I am a well
man now, and I can recommend Tan
lac in the highest terms.”
Tanlac is sold by all druggists in
Jackson county.

REDUCTION IN THE
PRICE OF DRY GOODS.
Beal-Burrow Company of Little Rock
Show's Lower Prices Recently
Announced.
There has been a lot said in the pa
pers lately about government price
r—gulations oL dry ^oods, but at this
time no prices have been promulgat
ed except on 36-inch brown sheeting,
which price we promptly and gladly
• j
' met on the 20th of July and since
i that time have been billing out at the
reduced price, regardless of the price
j the goods were sold for, as follows:
| Panama 4-4 Sheeting-1514c
j Walhalla 4-4 Sheeting-1814c
| Columbia 4-4 Sheeting-20c
Velvet 4-4 Sheeting_21c
These prices are 3 to 4 cents per
yard lower than before government
made prices.
All goods billed prior to July 20
must stand as sold. In this connec
tion, we would like to see prices re
duced all along the line, and we are
perfectly willing at all times to sell
them on a small profit on the re
placement cost. If dry goods were
now reduced we would still have this
small profit and it would stabalize
our business as well.
In looking over the list of our tre
mendous stock, we find a few things
which we can easily sell to other job
bers for a great deal more money
than we will offer them to you. We
reserve the right to accept or reject
any orders either in the house or on
the road. In fact, we don’t want too
much business on these items at
these prices and they are made for
stock on hand only.
