The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a community of simple, honest. God fearing men and women, have pre- pared the Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years, and it is always the same, simple, honest, curative medi- cine that has helped to make the Shakers the healthy, long-liyed peo- pie that they are. The Shakers neV- CT have indigestion. This is partly wing to their simple mode of life, partly to the wonderful properties of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indigestion is caused by the stomach glands not supplying enough digestive juice. Shaker Digestive cordial supplies what's wanting. Shaker Digestive Cordial inyigorates the stomach and all it's glaLds so that after a while thev don't need help. As evidence of the honesty of Shaker Digestive Cor dial, the formula is printed on ey- cry bottle. Sold by Druggists, price 10 cents to $l per bottle.

IA GAINING FACTORY,
WOULD BE A PAYING INVEST
 MENT FOR PINE BLUFF
MT. A. Brewster Makes Inyestiga- tions iu Indiana Regarding
 the Matter.

Mr, A. Brewster is just back from business trip to Greencastle, In diana. He inspected several can hing factories while in Indiana, and made inquiries as to the amount oi capital required to successfully op crate one, the probabilities of ont being run here, etc.
 A factory was in successful opera tion at Greencastle. This one was started with capital of about s6, 800. One of that size employs from 75 to 100 men when run only in the day time.
 Mir. Brewster obtained full and detailed information regarding can. ming factories. All tbat he inspect ed were.very successful and paying good dividends. The one at Green castle paid yearly dividends of over 30 per cent.
 He became convinced that ono could be started here and successful Iy conducted. He has been discuss ing the matter with local business men and finds the proposition ol starting Q canning factory here very favorably received. Today three men have signified their willingness to take $500 stock each in the enter prise. This is a good start and nc doubt the near future will see a can ming factory in Pine Bluff employ ing 75 or 100 men, and keeping at home large amount of money paid out annually to foreign factories and wholesale houses.
 This is the right time of year to organize a company, as it would be ready for operation by sumner. The factory would put up tomatoes, corn, peas, beans, etc.
 A local company has recently been organized for raising tomatoes on large scale. It was the pur, pous of this company to can all to- matoes not shipped. Full mention was made of this company in a re cent issue of the GRAPHIC. The fol- lowing letter is self explanatory:
 St. Louis, Mo. Feb. 14, 1898.
 M. A. Brewster, Pine Bluff, Dear sir
 In looking over Pine Bluff pager l see that your people want a can hing factory. Now if such is the case and you think we can raise the money I will come dow. there and see what we can do, if you will be so kind as to look the matter up and let me know just what you think about it. Hoping to hear from you soon; l am, yours, etc.,
