Every number was exception
ally good, but Mrs. Kelley’s pa
per, “What is Music,” was so
interesting and entertaining in
i .8 nature as to make all present
eager to hear the second reading
o f it, and the violin duet given
by Mrs. Martin and Miss Whitta
ker was simply par excellent.
Both are skilled violinists and
they never played with more
beautiful expression than upon
t lis occasion. The accompan
ies for the afternoon were Mrs.
Feamey and Miss Neal of Dyers
b arg, Tenn.
This musical organization, just
a year old, has proven an addi
tion of value to Newport club
life. Besides bein^ a pleasure
to the members, it is of material
b jnefit as well. Much good has
been accomplished in the way of
progress in the art of music un
der the direction of our able
president, Mrs. C. E. Crook,
who is a woman of fine executive
ability, coupled with modesty

feel gratified at the success of
th j year’s work, since it was she
and her gifted sister, Mrs.
C lamp Simpson, who were the
organizers and chief promoters
of this, Newport’s first musical
club.
Much regret was expressed
tint Mrs. Crook declined to ac
cept the office of president an

the duties incident to their offi
cer.

The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh be
ing a constitutional disease, re
quires a constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the
blqod and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative pow
ers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testi
monials.

SELF-ACCUSED
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Jonesboro, Nov. 24.—Elmore
Johnson, the man who gave him
self up here last week for mur
der committed sixteen years ago
in Chattanooga, Tenn., cut his
throat from ear to ear yesterday
morning in the councy jail and
may not survive. His windpipe
was cut and he is breathing
through the wound.
The sheriff from Chattanooga
had wired that he would be here
tonight to take the prisoner back
for trial, but Johnson may be
dead before the officer arrives.
Johnson is undoubtedly at
times insane and it is thought'
that this was the cause of his j
suicidal act. He has been taken
to a Memphis hospital.

It’s Easier
To Cure, Than
Endure Pain.
It Is needless to suffer pain. It I*
•osier to take a Pain Pill and b« cured.
If you will provide yourself with & 26c
package of Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills
you have the means of preventing at
tacks of pain, as well as a positive cure
If you are subject to nervous or sick
headaches, neuralgia, backache, men
strual pains, stomach ache, indigestion,
nervousness; if you have dizzy spells,
sick stomach or headache while travel
ing—car-sickness—all that Is necessary
is to take one of Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain
Pills when first symptoms appear, or
Just before starting out to visit or travel,
and they will soothe the irritated nerves,
and free you-from all these disagreeable
affections.
In doing this you take no risks, be
cause they are perfectly harmless. a**d
you will have no other evidence of hav
ing taken them than the knowledge that
you are free from pain.
They relieve and cure by relnvigorat
Ing and allaying the irritation of th«
nerves, and by stimulating the secre
tions.
"I am glad to find the relief that
comes with the knowledge that I am
freed from those terrible headaches that
I have had all my life. All I have to do
when I feel the approach of pain Is to
take one or two of Dr. Miles’ Antl-Pafu
Pills, and I am free from my sufferings
of three, six or twelve hours duration.’*
