Good Roads At Little Cost.
Now a macadam road is the
7 toad that should be built wher
ever there is a heavy travel and
a populous and prosperous com
mhnity, but to suppose that it is
the only good road, or that ma
_ cadamizing the roads is 1 he only
way to,improve them, is a delus
ion pure and simple.
Sand and clay are available all
over the South, and when a com- >
munity can combine them, and
by the use of a grader and the
split-log drag make a good road
and keep it good, there is no rea
son why it should be content to^
wallpw in mud holes and bump
chugs and ruts every time
a load of produce is taken to
town.
Even when the sand-clay con
struction is not practicable at
once, the slit-log drag judicious
ly used would do wonders, and it
would be but a little job for most
farmers to make these drags and
keep the-roads in front of their
premises in good shape. It
would be a paying proposition,
^ too, and we recommend the ex
periment to all farmers who
| really want better roads, as well
'*'■" as to all road commissioners or
overseers who are desirous of
getting out of the old way of

frequent, lay the foundation of
chronic diseased conditions of
the nose and throat, and may de

Making Papoose's Cradle.
The poorest of Indian mothers

fingers. The general design depends
upon the customs and traditions of
the tribe, and the materials used are
determined by the natural resources
of the region inhabited: but the or

Barometer of Trade.
Smiles Irradiated the floorwalker's
face. Business had been poor, but it
was picking up for that day. How did
he know? Women were shopping in
pairs and trios. “They always buy
so much more," he said, “when they
come in bunches. When a woman
shops alone she buys only what she
needs or can afford, but when she
=hops with friends she b 3 what she
wants them to think she can afford."

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health Is Worth Saving, And
Some Newport People Know
How To Save It.
Many Newport people take
their lives in their hands by neg
lecting the kidneys when they
need help. Sick kidneys are re
sponsible for a vast amount of
suffering and ill health—the
slightest delay is dangerous.
Use Doan’s Kidney Pills—a
remedy that has cured thous
ands of kidney sufferers. Here
is a Newport citizen’s recom
mendation.
J. H. Willis, farmer, R. F. D.
2, Newport, Ark., says: “I was
suffering intensely from kidney
complaint at the time I procur
ed Doan’s Kidney Pills at Dut
ton’s Drug Store. I had what I
thought to be inflammation of
the bladder, at any rate the
symptoms pointed to this trou
ble. The secretions from my
kidneys passed too frequently,
particularly during the night
and my rest was thus broken. I
attributed my trouble to the
poor drinking water in this local
ity. Thinking that Doan’s Kid
ney Pills would help me, I got
a supply at Dutton’s Drug Store
and they permanently rid me of
the trouble.
For sale by all dealers. Price
50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co.,

Remember the name—Doan’s
and take no other.

If you should hear, incident
ally, that your favorite store
had held an unadvertised spe
cial sale of something you’ve
been wanting to buy, you’d feel
that it had not protected YOUR
INTERESTS—wouldn’t you?

After exposure, and when you
feel a cold coming on, take Fo
ley’s Honey and Tar Compound.
It checks and relieves. Use no
'substitute. The genuine in a

If you were^to investigate the families who have ac

every instance a bank account is started for their educa

Iso will your children when they grow up unless they
have the same advantages. '
