Thanksgiving.
Let us not associate our
thanksgiving too closely with
i material blessings.
Prosperity and good prospects
very properly call for gratitude,
j Health is good to have. But a
' vast world of rich blessings lies
| beyond these.

i that should be felt for all the
| greatest and deepest things oi
life; for the joys of children
i for youth and love; for the joys
I of parenthood; for the privilege
! of rearing healthy boys anc
i girls to be notable men and worn
|en; for the serene influence oi
' home life; for the calm friend
|ships of middle years; for tin
rich retrospects of age and tin
consciousness of a race well run
Nor may the clear vision oi
gratitude overlook all those el
omental things which makes lif<
so completely worth while; tin
'aspirations of individuals; tin
nation’s ideals which no surface
(politics and corruption can per
manently blunt; the great u t ill
-ties bestowed by the natura
i world; the murmuring forest
which refresh the spirit, tin
silent hills -which kindle the
soul to new and great deeds; tin
blessing of life itself.
The real blessings of life are
not what the hands may grasp
but what the heart holds.—Mem

Don’t make the mistake of buying a cheap range—a great many ranges are built to sell—not to use. Don’t make^H
mistake of buying the range you expect to last a lifetime “unsight unseen"—you’ll be sure to be disappointed,
let any smooth-tongued salesman talk you into buying a n unknown range—get a Majestic and you’re suretobesB
tied. Come to our store during the demonstration week—see the Great Majestic—find out why the Majestic idH
per cent stronger than other ranges, where others are weakest. And remember we can show you hundreds of sata^H
Majestic owners in and around Newport—people who are just as enthusiastic about the Great Majestic as we are. ■
THIS IS A SPECIAL INVITATION TO YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS. ■
Don’t Overlook the Date Monday December 1 to Saturday December!

NOT ONLY IN NEWPORT.
Similar Cases Occur Daily In
This Vicinity.
Not only here in Newport but
in our neighboring towns, the
same good story is heard. An
encouraging instance from
Batesville is given here, and will
be read by us with great inter
est.
Rev. F. M. Smith, west side,
Batesville, Ark., says: “I have
suffered for a long time from
backache and my health was be
coming all run down. I had diz
zy spells, my sight blurred and
other symptoms of kidney trou
ble were present. I was fortun
ate enough to hear of Doan’s
Kidney Pills and they went im
mediately to the root of the
trouble, restoring me to the best
of health. I have just as much
praise for Doan’s Kidney Pills
today, as I did when I previously
recommended them.”
Price 50c., at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy
—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the
same that Rev. Smith had. Fos
