Butchers Stationery"

It is apparent from the circulars accompanying a lot ofcheap, inferior writing paper recently sown broad east through the city, that such houses only expect to receive orders from that class of business men who do not know good thing when they see it. In their circulars they say that lin this day and age it is penny wise and pound foolish to substitute butchers paper for writ ing paper, or endeavor to get along without the proper printed station cry. We do not suppose that any merchant in Pine Bluff has ever been guilty of substituting butchers pa- per for writing paper, and we aresure there is not one of them that does not know too much about business to undertake to get along without printed stationery. We also rely upon their ability to judge between the samples of "butcher's paper' sent out by this house and the honest stock handled by honest printers. For the same stock we will duplicate any prices in America.

No, no, Major, the letter is genuine, and if you would escape such criticism, you should manifest less vanity and egotism.''

If asked the question "Have you
got stomach?" it would be safe on
general principles, to answer, EYES,"
But if you are sure of it; that is, if
you ever feel any distress after eating
or any pains of whatever description
in the region of the stomach, you
have got something more than an Or
binary stomach, in other words you
have got a diseased stomach. The
stomach is a powerful muscle, and
the proper remedy for a tried muscle
is rest. Try the Shaker Digestive
Cordial, for this product not only con-
tains digested food, which will nourish
the system without any work on the
part of the diseased, but it aids the
digestion of other foods as we'll. You
can test its value in your case for the
trifing sum of 10 cents. Sample bot
ties at this price are carried by all
druggists.
Laxol is the best medicine for chill
