THE HORRORS OF WAR
Or The Defeat of
THE FLOWER OF THE WEST.
PREPARATION.
The bugle had sounded
The tocsin of war.
The fife’s shrill notes
Were heard on the air.
Two nations were stirred
Both near and afar
While the world awaited
The effects of their jar.
The steed stood stamping;
And jerking at his rein
While his master, the general,
Wias massing his men.
The cavalry was anxious
The order to hear.
The infantry was held
Far in the rear.
The artillery was resting
With cannon and shell,
Awaiting its power
Of destruction to tell.
The navy was tugging
And stretching the chain,
Eager to test
Its power on the main.
THE BATTLE.
The order was given
“Advance! ” “Charge!” was the
yell.
The result of the charge—
No one could tell.
The crack of the rifles,
And the cannon’s loud boom
Caused victory
Before the army to loom.
But a well-aimed shot
Did its mission too well,
And their hope of victory
With their general fell.
The enemy bore down;
Never halted to rest,
Until it had conquered
THE FLOWER OF THE WEST.
THE RESULT.
The field now is strewn
Not with men grizzly and old,
But with men in their youth,
More precious than gold,
The groom and the son,

Beneath the cold waters sleep,

Spirit Of Optimism Prevails.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, August 6.—There
is a spirit of optimism pervad
ing the financial circle of Lit
tle Rock, with reference to the
effect of the European war up
on the business interests of this
section. The bankers are taking
care of the situation and have
hopes that the emergency cur
rency issued by the government,
and other steps taken by the
administration, to stabilize the
situation, will 'adjust things
within thd next week so that
even a general war in Europe
will not jeopardize local inter
ests- The utmost confidence
generally is expressed in the
wisdom of President Wilson an
his advisers.
The Little Rock Ad Men’s
Club sent the following tele
gram to the President: “At a

CERTAIN RESULTS
Many A Newport Citizen Knows
How Sure They Are.
Nothing uncertain about the
work of Doan’s Kidney Pills in
Newport- There is plenty of ;
positive proof of this in the tes
timony of citizens. Such evi
dence should be convincing to
the most skeptical doubter. Read
the following statement:
Mrs. C. A- Arnett, 414 Laurel
street, Newport, says: “One of
our family was troubled by a ;
dull, steady ache over his kid
neys. It was hard for him to
lift anything or stoop. He was
stiff and lame when he got up
mornings. He finally got a box
of Doan’s Kidney Pills at Walk
er’s Pharmacy and they gave
him great relief.”
Price 50c at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy
—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the
same that Mrs. Arnette recom
mends. Foster-Milbum Co.,
