Cotter Opening Postponed.
Cotter, Aug. 29. —The opening
of Cotter has been indefinitely
postponed on account of yellow
fever. The date for the opening
was September 19 and it may be
now that the opening will not
take place until the White River
line is opened through to Kan
sas City. On account of vthe
great amount of high water this
summer this has been greatly
delayed. Had the summer been
dry trains would now have been
going through to Kansas City.
Hurt in a Runaway.
Texarkana, Aug. 29. —Sunday
evening at a late hour, while
Miss Lillian Thompson and Miss
Floy Savage, two prominent
young ladies of this city, were
out driving tneir horse became
frightened at some object and
ran away. The horse ran through
the Miller county court house
grounds and threw the two
young ladies out of the vehicle.
Miss Thompson was dangerously
hurt, while Miss Savage escaped
with only a few bruises.
Hotel Changes Hands.
Walnut Ridge, Aug. 28.— Mrs.
W. C. Burel, proprietress of the
new hotel Rhea, has leased the
building to Mrs. M. E. Stamey
and Charley Kreith of Piedmont,
Mo. To attend to the hotel and
the large outside business neces
sitates too great a strain on her,
hence the leasing of the prop
erty. The Rhea is the newest
and most up-to-date hotel in
northeast Arkansas, and has a
good and substantial patronage.
I. D. Price has souvenir post
cards of the Episcopal church,
freight depot, passenger station
and court house. 86
DAVIS GIVES HIS SIDE.
Announces Appointment of New State
Board of Health and Rakes Old
Members for Charging Fees.
-1—
In replying to the communica
tion of the four members of the
state board of health who have
resigned, Governor Davis an
nounces the appointment of Drs.
J. P. Runyan and J. P. Shep
pard of Little Rock, Dr. R. A.
Hilton of El Dorado and a fourth
member who has not yet signi
fied his acceptance.
Furthermore, he says:
“I am very glad, indeed, that
they did resign. Mv attention
was called to the fact last Sun
day that they were charging one
dollar each for health certificates.
I found that they were getting
large sums of money each day by
this means. Upon inquiry I
found that no other city—Mem
phis, Texarkana or Hot Springs
—was charging a cent for health
certificates. They were issued
absolutely free.
‘T found that our state board
of health was making merchan
dise out of the necessities of the
people in this time of trouble. I
found they were issuing certifi
cates to people from Louisiana,
thereby endangering the lives of
vui v vv n v^U/UiViici«
“I found they were receiving
a dollar each for these certifi
cates. I found they were send
ing circular letters into Louisiana
as to how health certificates could
be obtained, and even after Gen.
Haynes had issued his orders to
the state guard that no special
permits should be honored, and
even after Dr. Cantrell had
promised that he would issue no
i more, he issued four in violation
| of this agreement to Louisiana
j parties.
“I found that yellow fever ex
! ists in an epidemic form at Lake
! Providence, twenty-six miles
! from the state line and forty
1 miles from Lake Village. I
; feared that yellow fever would
| be brought into this state by
this indiscriminate use of health
certificates for pay. -
“There will be no lapse of the
state board of health. It will
continue, but no more fees will
be charged for health certifi
cates. The people of Arkansas
going to and from Little Rock
to their homes will riot be charged
$1 each for health certificates, as
by the old board. There will be
no special permits issued to peo
ple from Louisiana and other
infected districts for money or
otherwise, kacn certmcate Here
after will bear on its face the in
jscription: ‘This certificate is not
valid if paid for. ’ So this puts
the matter beyond all question,
and the board will continue busi
ness at the same old stand.
‘‘I want to say to the people
of this state that we are trying
to protect them from yellow
fever; that the guardsmen, the
soldier boys, are out on the bor
ders of the state working for 43
cents a day. They are doing the
real quarantine work, and I do
not think it right for the board
of health, a coterie of doctors, to
i sit in Little Rock and grow rich
j out of the necessities and calam
I ities that have visited our peo
| pie, and these boys doing the
j work practically for nothing.”

Life a
Burden
There are times when life
seems a burden—when you are
tired, worn-out, have dull pains
in the head and a continual
feeling of uneasiness. You
have no appetite, and your di
gestion is poor; your sleep
broken, and 3^011 get no rest.
Little anno3'ances, seem great
mountains of trouble, and you
are blue, melancholy and given
over to gloomy forebodings.
This means low vitality—ex
hausted brain nerves.

"I am glad to announce that I have
recovered my health, as far as my
advanced age will permit, as 1 am 82
years old. My case was very bad;
my nerves were all shattered. I suf
fered much pain and coldness; was so
weak and felt so sad and lonely and
heart-broken. When 1 commenced
taking Dr. Miles’ Remedies I was com
pletely prostrated. I have taken the
Restorative Neryine, Heart Cure and

me.” MRS. E, C. BAWLBT.
