LIGHTNING RoDs. We wish to say
TO those who do not believe in the
utility of lightning rods, that their
opinions are positively adverse to the
opinions of such learned men as the
renowned Benz. Franklin, Thos. Ed
Olson. Morse and all others that have
made scientific Tests and studied the
science of electric conductors. Now,
we ask who is most correct in the
matter? We are erecting conductors
at about one half the price that is
usually charged by itinerant rod men,
and you will save your money by
having your work done by us. We
are using the best conductors made,
and our ornaments are OF the latest
designs. Call on or address us at
Prescott, Ark. Respect,

A Natural Conclusion.

1t is natural that those who have
been deceived by the various nos

substantial testimonial than the sim
pie declaration Of those who are in

Recognizing the justice of this de-
mand, the Swift Specific (S. S. 5. }

led in pamphlet form a few of the
more noteworthy testimonials that
have come to them unsolicited.
This they will take pleasure in send
