Uncle Willie Dougherty, Col.
A. D. Stafford and Ed Scales
spent the glorious fourth at
Brinkly. It is needless to say,
Mischievous Willie had a time.
He told us that Brinkley was full
of beautiful ladies and if there
is anything uncle Bill likes, its to
see and be with pretty women.
Of course, Mr. Scales and Col.
Stafford didn’t have the time our
Willie had, but they-'were with
I him all day. We believe the trio
| had a time. We wouldn’t like to
be a catholic priest and have to
here their confession.
Uncle Willie had a gay time
while the preachers were here,
eating chicken and going to
preaching. Uncle Bill, of course, j
dresses to the best advantage i
while his wife is away. He wore I
for a collar a combination of a:
pair of cuffs snugly fastened in
the most approved manner
aroud his neck, causing him to
look very much like a bon ton
preacher of the four-hundred
kind. He so much enjoyed this
manner of dress that a preacher
came around and asked Uncle
Bill where his work is. Mis
chievous Willie, of course, an
swered him saying, “In my

The Best Liniment For Strain
Mr. F. H. Wells, the merchant
at Deer Park, Long Island, N, Y.
says: "I always recommend
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm as the
best linimenl for strains. I used
it last winter for a severe lame
ness in the side, resulting from a
strain, and was greatly pleased
with the quick relief and cure
it effected.” For sale by, Dr. Neal
of MeCrory and A. S. Thompson
of DeView.
Miss Pearl Best, the belle of
Newport, in company with her
two frienbs, the Misses Annie
Sue Wilder and Willie Angus,
paid the New office a very pleas
ant visit last Wednesday after
noon.
The News man and his big
brother, Gus W., had the pleas
ure of spending the fourth be
neath the paternal roof at Rus
sellville. There is no place like
home. To spend a few days
with papa & mamma, the near
est and dearest persons on earth
to a boy, is like drinking at an
oasis in the scortelling desert of
life’s dreary pilgrimage. The
ingratitude of acquaintances
fades away, and true, loyal
friendship as that of Damon and
Pythias crowds discordant har
mony from view. The languages
are insufficient to express one
tithe of the delightful hours
spent within the sacredness of
our parents’castle. We return
ed by way of the Iron Mountain
railroad to Ft. Smith. There we
took the Frisco through the Ter
ritory for Mansfield and return
j ed to the City of Roses over the
famous Choctaw railroad. Tues
day morning at peep of day. we
safely arrived in the garden spot
of all creation—Woodruff county.
Crops are looking fine every
where we journeyed, and we
traversed the state from east to
west over two different routes.
We are here again with renewed
energy and a heart lightened
from many cares.

Hlood purifier, It a medicine of
positive merit, and fully accom

Malaria cannot find lodgment in
