$250,000 CASH IN
STATE TREASURY
Gov. Hays Is Given Credit For
Pulling State out of Bad Fin
ancial Hole.
Little Rock, Aug. 22.—The
Arkansas State Treasury is
again on Easy Street. The out
standing indebtedness waswip
ed out this week and there is
in the neighborhood of $250,
000 in actual cash in the gen
eral revenue fund. Last year,
the lowest ebb of the outstand
ing warrant indebtedness was
about $25,000 on Aug. 26, af
ter which it gradually increas
ed again. This year there will
be enough money to carry the
state for several months. The
state’s finances Iiave not been
in so good a condition in sev
eral years. Why it is so is a
question for the politicians and
the statesmen. There will be
different opinions about it, and
the people may take their
choice. One thing is certair
and cannot be denied, if Gov.
Hays had not vetoed several
hundred thousand dollars in
appropriations, the state would
not be out of debt at this time.
u
NEWPORT FIRST BALE
BRINGS 151/2 CENTS
Newport, Aug. 21.—The
first bale of cotton of the 15)16
crop was marketed oh the local
market Saturday afternoon by
J. O. Ormsby, living on the
Wilmans farm, north of this
city. A prize of about $75 had
been offered for the first bale
by the local business men, and
this, with a price of 15V2 cents
per pound for the cotton,which
was one and a half cents above
the market price, the bale and
seed netted the grower in ex
cess of $150. The cotton was
bought by R. B. Hooker for
Wolff-Goldman Mercantile
Company.
TRY II! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Starts your liver without making
you sick and can not
salivate.
Ewry druggist in town—your drug
gist and everybody’s druggist has noticed
a great falling-off in the sale of calomel.
They all give the same reason. Dodson’s
Liver Tone is taking its place.
“Calomel is dangerous and people know
it, while Dodson’s Diver Tone is perfectly
safe and gives better results,” said a
prominent locdl druggist. Dodson’s
Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by
every druggist who sells it. A large
bott!e costs 50 cents, and if it fails to
give easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation, you have
only to ask for your money back.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleasant-tast
ing, purely vegetable remedy, harmless
to both children and adults. Take a
spoonful at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or constipated bowels. It
doesn’t gripe or cause inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel. Take
a dose of calomel today, and tomorrow
you will feel weak, sick and nauseated.
Don’t lose a day’s work! Take Dodson’s
Liver Tone instead and feel line, full of
vigor and ambition.
