 -DR. POTTS CHILL KILLER IS THE BOSS REMEDY FOR CHILLS. GUARANTEED TO CURE OR MONEY REFUNDED. TRY IT. J. ". WELLS. --The last issue of the Atkins Mall contains lengthy, unjust and unwar. ranted personal attack upon Mr. James Potts, late candidate for clerk. The animus of the Mails attack is ostensi- bly, based upon the failure of Mir. Potts to provide that office with certain pat ronage, but the real underlying incent- i've was to defeat the re-ncmination of Mr. Potts for the office he has 30 accept ably filled for six vears, and against whom not one act of misfeasance or malfeasance in office has been nrgsd even by his opponents, including the Mail. Tie Mails wanton attack Is not only resented by Mir. Potts himself but by his hundreds of friends throughout the county who know that the war made upon him has been prompted by the most selfish motives and desire to pander to and gratify an unfair prsju- dice existing In the minds of those whose disposition Is such as to enjoy every fling of malice or envy thrown at Russellville or Illinois township. Evidence of this is abundant and con- elusive. Mr. Potts will answer tho Mails article next week and set him. self right before the people.
 This county now has the best crops she has had for years, we feel like en- coura1ing our farmers, ,and for the next 30 days will sell goods of all kinds, ex- tremely low to all cash buyers.
 MT. J. R. Duke, who left this coun- ty six years ago and settled on the san Bernard river, near Columbia, Texas, has recently met with disaster which has reduced him to destitution and want. His friends in Pope will regret to hear of his misfortune and with characteristic liberallry will render what assistance may be within their power. We are permitted to quote from a..private letter as follows: "All l had was invested in crop Of forty acres on the San Bernard river and by the recent overflow am left pennilsss without any Of the necessaries of life at q time of the year too late for . second crop, and then in addition to the flood my wife has been helpless with Stran- gulated Hernia for 2l days, caused by her heroic efforts to save our fowls from drowning. It rained hard for three days and the river rose higher than eyer known before. The water was five feet deep in the house live in and from five to ten feet deep all over my crop. Ihave nothing left but few bee hives and my farm tools- Hun- dreds of people, white and black, are left entirely in dcstitution and are bound to suffer if not relieved, and like myself they are mostly renters. Bro. A. J. Tate was ruined too. but got . job at boot and shoe making in Columbia.
 EVERY BODY INVITED TO CALL AND BUY A BOTTLE OF DIR. POTTS CHILL KILLER.
