THE RIGHT THING TO PUT ON. (Densen's Plaster b Pains Msster.)

From the natural impulse to sput some- thing on" painful spot all applications for the relief of pain have arisen.
 The most successful have ever been poul- tices or plasters, and the best of these is Benson's Porous Plaster.
 No other has anything like the same power as . curative agent; it is highly and scientifically medicatsd, and it's standard is advanced year by year.
 Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds, chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia, kidney trouble, lame back, and other ail- ments that make Winter season of suffer- ing and danger. It relieves and cures quicker than any other remedy.
 Do not accept Oapsicum, Strengthening or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's, as they possess none of it's curative power. Insist on having the genuine.
 The people of every civilized land have testified for years to the superlative merit of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians and druggists of this country have declared them worthy of public confidence.
 In oficial comparisons with others, Ben- sons Plasters have been honored with Gty.fpe highest awards.
 For sals by all druggists, or we will pre- pay postage on any number ordered in the United States on the receipt of 25c. each. Accept no imitation or substitute.

To the dispassionate man back at home, without the exciting in fluences that surround the legisla- tor, there seems to be many fool bills introduced in the legislature. Among this class we would men, ton some like the following: Be it enacted by the General Assem- bly of the State of Arkansas that the cannon ball train on the P. D. O., be required to stop at Possum Trot. That all acts and parts of acts in conflict with this be and the same are hereby repealed. " Probably not one man would get on a. Possum Trot in a week. The act is intended for the convenience of one man, perhaps. These fast trains are arranged to accommo- date people who go long distances. To stop at these small places disar- ranges the schedule in other parts of the country and makes the can non ball slow train. There are other slow trains on the road that stop at Possum Trot, but that does not fully satisfy the only resident of this classic village.
