To the People of Hampstead, Columbia
and Lafayette Counties.

The undersigned, in obedience to the
call ofTrenton, on the Ouachita river,
have canvassed the country upon the
question of constructing a railroad from
Trenton, La, to Fulton, Arkansas.
1t is 100 miles on an air line, and the
variations will not make it over l30.
We believe the people along the line
can build the road. The cost will not
exceed fifteen thousand dollars per
mile, 50, ,0O0,0 900 will build the entire
road.
You are all interested in the con-
struction of this roal. 1t is your SAL
vation. How much will you aid us in
this good work? Thepeople Of Louisi-
ana will do their duty. Now will the
people of Arkansas fall behind in the
enterprise?
Do you desire the road? Are you
willing to help? If so, how much?
We meet at Colque't, La on the
18th September to organize the COM
pany. We want one hundred thous-
and dollars cash subscription upon
which to organize. VIII you take a
part of this amount? Send your dele
gates to Colquett and take part in the
organization of the company. One
hundred dollars will make a share, and
every share will be vote in the or
ganization.
We are hopeful of success, and we
feel certain that if the people will all
come together and each do little, the
work will be accomplished. We call
upon every man to do something for
the road. 1t is true that we are poor,
but the little amounts of poor men
thrown together, will make the amount
needed to construct this road.
Fellow Countrymcnl if you want
this road, come together like men and
do your duty to yourself and children
Meet us at ColQuett on the 1St Sept,
and let US unite to do for ourselves what
the world will never do for US.

> Among the great
RAAA discoveries of modern
GSN " 14NX ~ science, few are of
2z4s more real value to
TWkjM M mankind than this ef-
AlV ~ fectual remedy for all
D wv " diseases of the Throat
M and LnDgs. A vast
AH trial OF its virtues,
N<MAv throughout this and
EjlM other countries, has
N.ls shown that it does
surely and efiectually
control them. The testimony of our best citi-
zens, Of all classes, establishes the fact, that
CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders Of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections Of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of COnsump-
ton, cured by this preparation, are public
~ known, so remarkable as hardly to be be-
lleved, were they not proven beyond dispute.
As remedy II Is adequate, on which the public
may rely for full protection By curing Coughs,
the iorerunners Of more serious disease, it saves
unnumbered lives, and an amount Of suffering
not to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affections,
which are easily met at first, but which become
incurable, and too often fatal, if neglected Ten
der lungs need this defence; and il is unwise to
be without it, As a safeguard 10 children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset the Throat
and Chest OF childhood, CHERRY PICTORIAL
is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multi
tudes are rescued from premature graves and
saved TO the love and affection centred on them.
1t acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds,
securing sound and health-restoring sleep. No
one will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain
ful Bronchitis, when they know how easily
they can be cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical Investigation, no cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. 1t may be confidently re-
lied upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited, and capable Of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.
