LIQUOR MEN ARE
BECOMING ACTIVE
Money For Campaign Against
Dry Law Coming From
Brewers Outside the StaU
Little Rock, June 28.—The
circulation of the petitions for
the initiation of an act to re
peal the statewide prohibition
law is being pushed by its pro
motors. They aresecuringmany
signatures, but doubt isexpress
ed whether they will be able
to secure the requisite number
of a little less than eleven thou
sand names by July 7, the last
day on which the petition may
be filed.
The oldtime leaders in the
saloon fights of the past are not
active in the movement, for
most of them have gone into
other lines of business which
they find more renumerative
and more respectable, and the
others have moved from the
state. The business men of the
city, many of whom favored
licensed saloons, are opposed
to a return to former condi
tions, declaring that their busi
ness is better and collections
much larger than formerly. A ,
strong appeal is being made to
the negroes for their support
of the movement and it is be
ing given very generally. Paid f
workers and former bar-tend- j
ers are going about among the
negroes urging them to go out
and circulate the petitions, and
they are responding very gen
erally.
It is not believed that the
money for the campaign is
coming from Arkansas.but that
it is being furnished by the
brewing interests of other
states who are anxious to re- :
store this state to their market.
Some men who have hereto
fore been identified with the
Saloon propaganda are inter
ested in the management of
the campaign, and they are
sending the blank petitions to
workers all over the stae, that
they may make a whirlwind
campaign and “clean-up” in a
few days, before any organized
opposition can develop.

DISCOVERED IT
“How did you get such a
bruised eye, Hast us?”
“Well, boss, I was out a
lookin’ for trouble, an’ dis ye re
eye was de fust to find it.”
“ANUR1C!”
THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY
This is a recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids’
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce’s
Hospital for several years proved that j
there is no other eliminator of uric acid
that can be compared to it. For those
easily recognized symptoms of inflam
mation— as backache, scalding urine
and frequent urination, as well as sedi
ment in the urine, or if uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, it is
simply wonderful how surely ''Anuric”
acts. The best of results are always
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism
in the joints, in gravel and gout, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
so frequently and persistently accom
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for a 50-cent package of
"Anuric,” manufactured by Dr. Pierce,
or even write Doctor Pierce for a free
sample. If you suspect kidney or blad
der trouble, 6end him a sample of your
water and describe symptoms. Doctor
Pierce’s chemist will examine it, then
Dr. Pierce will report to you, without
fee or charge.
Note : — French scientists affirm that
"Anuric” is thirty-seven times more
active than lithia in eliminating uric
acid, and is a harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given to children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish to
restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box—or
more in extreme cases — as "Anuric”
(thanks to Doctor Pierce’s achievement)
is by far the most perfect kidney and
bladder corrector obtainable.
Dr. Pierce’s Pellets are the original
little Liver Pills. < >ne little Pellet for
A laxative—three for a cathartic.
UGH! CALOMEL MAKES
YOU DEATHLY SICK
Stop using dangerous drug before
it salivates you!
It’s horrible!
You’re bilious, sluggish, constipated
and believe you need vile, dangerous cal
omel to start your liver and clean your
bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your drug
gist for a 60 cent bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone and take a spoonful tonight.
If it doesn’t start your liver and
straighten you right up better than
calomel and without griping or making
you sick I want you to go back to the
store and get vour money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow you
will feel weak and sick and nauseated.
Don’t, lose a day’s work. Take a spoon
ful of harmless, vegetable Dodson’s Liver
Tone tonight and wake up feeling great.
It’s perfectly harmless, so give it to your
children any time. It can’t salivate, so
let them eat anything afterwards

SIX DEAD, RESULT
OF ONE CRAPGAME
Negro Loses Nickel in Game
Begins Wholesale Murder
And Then Kills Himself
Osceola, June 26.—A crap
game, booze and a nickel caus
ed the shooting of five negroes
by Harry Clark, a negro, and
his suicide last night, in a cabin
on Giles Thomas’ farm four
miles west of Osceola.
Clark became enraged be
cause he had lost five cents in
the crap game which had been
started at a negro “celebration"
in which whiskey is said to
have played a prominent part,
and seizing a repeating rifle
began shooting at the negroes.
Two women and two men were
killed, and Thomas, the fifth
negro, died a short time later
as the result of his wound.Clark
was surrounded by officers
from Osceola a short time after
he fled and when his capture
was imminent killed himself
with the rifle.
IN LOVING MEMORY OF
JOHN WILLIAM FETZER
John William Fetzer, son ot
('apt. Sam R. and Mary T. Fet-j
zer, grandson of the late Mr.
and Mrs. John P. Fetzer, and
grandson of the late Rev.
William H. and Dicy M. Jerni
gam was born August 10,1868;
died June 19, 1916.
He was 47 years, 10 months
and 8 days old. Funeral obse
quies were held in the Meth
odist church at Newark in the
presence of a large representa
tive congregation of the citi- i
zens of the town and commun
ity and a large number of rel
atives on both sides of the fam
ily. This was an ardent expres
sion of love and esteem the peo
ple had for the deceased. He
had many rare and forcible
characteristics of the true and
noble man. Abundantly en
dowdd with an excellent store
of common sense, united with
quietness, firmness, sympathy
land kindliness of spirit, and
added to this a courage that
dared to do the right in the
face of strong and persistent
opposition, made him an antag
onist, when aroused to action in
defense of peace, law and ord
er, to be reckoned with as a
hero. And it is but true to say
that Newark owes him a debt
of gratitude it will never be
able to pay. He was a manly
man; his friendship was rooted
in the principles of honor,truth
and virtue.
He was a kind loving father,
and a devoted husband. That
he had faults none would deny.
The faultless life has only been
lived once on this earth—
that of our Lord. No man lives
without more or less vices, and
the viceless life is found only
in Christ. “Dink” had his share
of these, but he had many rare
and noble virtues. I feel like I
did not do him justice in the
poor, limping, tearful eulogy
1 tried to pronounce at the
church, but I ask that this,
though still unworthy notice,
be layed upon his new-made
grave as a token of esteem,love
and regard for the many manly
characteristics he so profusely
possessed.
May God bless his widowed
wife and fatherless children,
and the multitude of relatives
and friends who lament his
death. J. F. JERNIGAN,
Paragould, Arkansas.

REMEDIES FOR
THE CHIGGERS
The l'. S. Agricultural De
partment gives the following
remedies for getting rid of
"chiggers," which may prove
ol interest, as blackberries are
ready to pick and picnic time is
almost here. If a bath in hot
water, or in water containing
salt or strong soap, is taken
within a few hours after expo
sure in shrubbery and weeds
infested with “chiggers,” or
“red bugs.” no ill effects will
be experienced. After a long
exposure, however, a bath has
practically no effect and direct
remedies are necessary.
Alter irritation has set in and
small red spots appear the ap
plication ot a moderately strong
solution of ammonia to the af
fected parts is recommended
by the department’s entomoli
gists. A supersaturated solution
ol bicarbonate of soda or com
mon cooking soda or saleratus
will at ford relief. Liberal ap
plications should be made until
the irritation subsides. If the
suffering is severe, a dilute
tincture ot iodine or collodion
should be lightly applied.
