Work on the bridge over Crook
ed creek at this place had to be
suspended this week to await the
arrival of a sand pump with
which to remove the sand and
water from the inside of the
steel piers on the south side of
the creek so the concrete filling
can be put in. The piers on the
north side have been put in and
riveted. — Yellville Echo.
It is clear in our minds now,
since the railroad company has
floored the trestle and erected
two large platforms on the other
side of the river, that they do
not intend to spend any more
money on the repair of the
bridge. One of two things will
be done, the road extended or a
new bridge built across the river.

time disposition will be made of
the property.—Walnut Ridge

A homeseeker from the north
was traveling through this sec
tion of the state over the Frisco
not long ago. It became quite
dark in the coach directly after
leaving Imboden and the traveler
asked the porter how long it
would be before the crain emerg
ed from the tunnel through which
it was passing. “Dis ain’t no
tunnel, sah,” replied the porter,
“we’s jes passin’ fru a big corn
field an’ de tall stalks shut out

true this story is, but we tell it
to you as Clopton told it to us. —

LETTER TO MR. CHAS.
BATEMAN, NEWPORT, ARK
Dear Sir: You ask how many
square feet a gallon will cover.
Depends or edition of building.
There is a great deal of lying
an this point. The stcck claim
af lying paints is 300 square feet,
two coats. It’s a lie, as a rule.
Devoe covers 300 to 500, our
agents think. We think 300 too
low and 600 too high; though,
doubtless, they both occur.
How much the other paints
cover is equally doubtful; we
guess 100 to 400.
The truth is found in another
comparison. Devoe is all paint,
true paint, strong paint,and full
measure; the others in general
use are, at the best, diluted,
adulterated and short-meas
ure. They cover according to
body and measure. You can’t
paint with clay lime chalk sand
barytes water or air—no body in
them. Go by Devoe.
Yours truly

HOW BUY YOUR
GROCERIES
THIS FALL?
CASH OR CREDIT.
Is not the pay-as-you-go
plan the best? Many think it
is best, because—
1. When you pay cash you
are sure to buy at the lowest
market price.
2. When you pay cash you
realize how much you are
spending, so live within your
lU^UUO.
3. When you pay cash you
] never overbuy.
4. When you pay cash you
buy at a cash store (if you are
wise), where there is only one
price, and where rich and
poor are treated alike.
5. When you pay cash at a
cash store there are no bad ac
counts td consider, but prices
are made on a cash basis, so
you are sure to save money.
6. When you pay cash for a
few months you will not wil
lingly go back to the old style
credit plan; not if you are like
a majority of buyers.
All this being true, won’t
you decide to begin this fall to
buy of us for cash? Your
money back always if you
want it.
It Pays to Pay Cash.

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founds* j
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect J
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction , J
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfectiot along this line (many making nit
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached th< foal, * J
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 voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a 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
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered
The Kimball System and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
