1ILL PROTECT YOU.
t
We know that many people hesitate to
■pend their money for medicines adver
tised in their local papers, because they
are not positive whether they get some
thing good or something worthless.
Many people hesitate to try new medi
cines, and they are right in so doing.
Every man and woman should be careful
what they use in the way of medicine. For
these reasons we make arrangements with
your druggist to protect you on every
bottle of Paracamph. We know from act
ual experience and from the unqueatton
abl testimony of thousands of America's
best people that Paracamph will do exact
ly what we claim for it, so when we tel)

cures Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sore Feet,
Piles, Skin Diseases, Catarrh, Sore Throat
Sore Lungs, Croup and all forms of swell
ings and Inflammations, we know that it
will do exactly what we claim. If it fails ia
any case when used as directed, your drug,
gist the man you know and the man yoa
have confidence in will refund your money.
So why experiment with the various rem
edies on the market, when you buy Para
camph on a guarantee like this? We believ*
that you are honest and believe that yoS
^ -will treat us right. We know if you do that

MERCHANTS SIGN
CLOSING AGREEMENT,:
Pledging Themselves to CJose
s Their Doors Mondays Follow
ing Christmas and New
•Year.
To laboring people the calen
dar seemed a trifle unjust this
year in b r i n g i n g Christmas
and new year, two long observed,
holidays, upon Sunday, and thus
apparently robbing them of the
delights of a holiday.
But as the Monday following
each of these holidays is to be
generally observed in their stead,
the merchants and business men
of Newport have entered upon
the agreement published below.
The grocerymen reserve the right
to open for a few hours in the
morning to supply their trade
with the necessaries of- life.
All the merchants have signed
this agreement except W. B.
Chastain and J. H. Elfrank, who
promise to close those days, and
S. G. Parker.
AGREEMENT SIGNED.
Newport, Ark., Dec. 21.
\jTe, the undersigned hereby
agree to close up our places of

INDEPENDENT'S
BABY CONTEST.
Here is the proposition and the
rules governing the contest:
There is a handsome $25.00
solid gold locket with diamond
setting and solid gold chain, on
display at the Palace Jewelry
store, to be given away Decem
ber 24th, 1904, to the baby boy
or girl under two years, of age,
who wins the highest number of
votes as the prettiest and sweet
est baby. Now the baby that is
not pretty is surely sweet, and
if the wee tot be a little cross at
times, beauty must offset this
badness. Fond parents at least
are expected to think their ba
bies are both sweet and beauti
ful, and so they do. But to set
tle once for all the claims of the
under two, and put at rest this
rivalry of mothers and fathers,
the Independent has inaugurated
a contest that is to be determined
by that cherished right, popular
ballot, and in accordance with
the following rules:
BABY PRIZE CONTEST RULES.
First—No baby that has reach
ed the age of two years Nov. 1,
1904, is eligible to this contest,
nor shall any employe or party
connected with this paper be eli
gible to vote.
Second—Every issue of the
Daily and Weekly Independent
from November 1 to December
24, will contain a ballot entitling
the holder to one vote in this

I \
■■■■■■HHBBaHaaBHMaBaaBMMBi
subscription paid for between
these dates a coupon good for ten
votes will be issued, but no cou
pons will be issued for sums less
than $1.00. Coupons will not be
sold, and will only be issued for
job, ad and subscrpition busi
ness, but extra copies of the In
dependent at 2 cents per copy,
each containing one ballot, will
be sold at this office.
Third—All votes must be sent
to this office and will be de
posited in a lock box, to be opened
at 8 o’clock each publication day
and counted. The daily issue of
that afternoon will contain the
total of the several candidates
and the public will thus be kept
informed of the voting each day.
Fourth—A committee of three
good business men will be select
ed to canvass the ballots the
morning of Dec. 24 and announce
the winner. All ballots must be
deposited at this office by 11 a.

I am happy and pleased to attest to the value of Wine of Cardui for pros- H
pective mothers. I took it for three months before my darling baby came and m
1 suffered, so little pain I felt I was an exoeption. The child is nappy and ■
healthy and the sunshine of my life. I had hardly any trouble after she was H
born, and after eleven days was up doing my entire housework and feeling g|
better than I had felt for years. 1 am the envy of my neighbors because of the ■
unusually healthy child I have end because 1 never had a sick day myself. 1 ■
give the entire credit to Wine of Cardui, ■
for I was sickly, pale and thin before I took ^ _ y I

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano \
STRUCTURE.
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founda*
tien of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano Bcale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
claim to sing. It costs money, to cultivate the voiee, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produces perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of °ther of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
fseai any laetery. ws are able to sell the Kimball at a very ascderato price, quality.eeauldsred
The Kimball "ystem and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
