Brighter Prospects.

Since the completion of the Texar-
kama a. Fort Smith road, has become
practically an assured fact, at an early
date. both the business affairs and
property interests of our city, have
taken an upward turn, and everything
points to an era Of renewed and in
creased prosperity for Texarkana.
While this is now and always has
been, since its lotation, good thriv-
ing business town and important rail-
wag center, yet the addition Of this
line from Fort Smith, or more proper
ly, from Kansas City, through to the
Gulf, will afford to Texarkana advan-
tages never before possessed, adding
in every way to its already excellent
railway facilities and opening up TO
settlement in this and adjourning
counties vast scope of rich timber,
mineral and agricultural lands. These
are only few Of the magnificent
. possibilities which m us t
follow the building Of this road and
the benefits arising to our city from
its completion can hardly be overesti-
mated by even the most sanguine
mind. Factories and jobbing houses
follow in the wake Of cheap coal and
reduced freight rates, wherever and
whenever the same are TO be had.

in honor of WashiDgton's birthday.
There was a good turn out of citizens,
and all were highly pleased with the

sisted of vocal and instrumental music,
recitations, etc. Pupils acquitted

about all you get, though, with the
ordinary pill. 1t may relieve you for
moment, but you're usually In a
worse state afterward than before.
That is just where DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets do most good. They
act in an easy and natural way, very
different from the huge, old-fashioned
pills. They're not only p,easanter, but
there's no reaction afterward, and
their help lasts. One little sugar
coated pellet for a gentle laxative or
corrective-three for cathartic. Con-
stlpation, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks,
Dizziness, Sick and Bilious Headaches

They're the smallest the easiest to
take--and the cheapest pill you can

satisfaction, or your money is return
