AVID
CHILD

Does your horse feel his
oats? What difference be-
tween the granted and the
grass-fed horse! The first
strong and full of ginger, the
second flabby, weak and tired
out before he begins. The
feeding makes the difference.
Children are not alike either.
One is rosy, bright-eyed, full
of life and laughter, another is
pale, weak and dull. The feed
ing again is responsible.
Sickly children need special
feeding. They don't feel their
oats. SCOTS Emulsion adds
just the right richness to their
diet. It's like grain to the
horse. The child gets new
appetite and strong digestion.
SCOTS Emulsion is more
than food. 1t is a strong
medicine. 1t rouses up dull
children, puts new flesh on thin
ones and red blood into pale
ones. 1t makes children grow.

Road Act of 1879 Not Repealed,

Attorney General Geo. w. Murphy holds that the road im- provement acts of 1899 and 1901 neither modify nor repeal the act of 1879, under which cities and towns are empowered to require by ordinance all male persons be- tween the ages of IS and 45 years, residing within the corporate limits, to work upon the streets and alleys therein as many as ten days year.
 Attorney General Murphy has addressed the following on the subject to the City Attorney R. E. l.. Johnson of Paragould:
 "Under the act of March 10, 1879, cities and towns are en- powered to require by ordinance all male persons between the ages of IS and 45 years, residing with in the corporate limits to work upon the streets and alleys there in, as many as ten days in each year, and to prescribe the terms upon which they may have ex- emption therefrom. This means that they may fix the price to be paid in lieu of each days work, and leave the party liable to the duty to do the work or pay the money as he sees fit.
 The acts of 1899 and 1901 re- lating to the working of the roads neither modify nor repeal this act. Streets and alleys are under the. government of the cities and towns in which they are. Road overseers have nothing to do with the keeping up of the streets and alleys in cities and towns. The law for the working of county roads and the law governing streets and alleys in cities and towns are separate and indepen- dent systems. The ordinances of cities and towns passed under the act of 1879 are the laws with respect to the working and main : taining the streets and alleys, wherever such ordinances exist and are binding.
 As before stated, the road law since passed by the legislature has reference to county roads, not to streets and alleys in cities and towns"

He Told the Truth.

It is said that an editor recently announced that for just one issue he would tell the truth, the whole truth, naked and unvarnished. That is, the truth was to be naked and unvarnished. Here is one item from that issue of his paper:
 "Married-Miss Sylvia Smith to James Carnahan, last Saturday at the Baptist parsonage. The bride is a very ordinary girl about town who doesn t know any more than a rabbit about cooking and never helped her poor old mother three days in her life. She is not a beauty, by a long shot, and has gait like a fat duck. The groom is known as an up to date loafer, and has been living off his mother all his life, and don't amount to anything. nohow. They will have tough time of it, and we withhold con- gratulations, for we don't believe any good can come from such a marriage.

While the state organization has it's faults, it also has it's merits and the lat ter certainly outweigh. Our par- ty leaders, l mean the old organi- zation, can hardly be termed as boodlers in my estimation. They are men who stand we'll in busi- ness, church, fraternal and social circles, and are hardly capable of the corrupt things of which the insurgents accuse them.

WORK WILL BE PUSHED.
A 13O-FOot Shaft to Be CompIet-
 ed by December 15.

ed by Decem ber 15.
 Work is being prosecuted viz orously on the proposed 130- foot mining shaft that was begun by Maj. Drought, announced in our issue last week. Owing to the prellmlnaries necessary to getting things ready for the commencement of work, no dirt was moved until last Mon- day morning, but it began in earnest and it will continue to be pushed as fast as full force of men can make it go.
 John D. Bay, who sunk the shaft for the Melrose Company at the rear of the Blasingame hotel building, is the contractor for the first fifty feet. With the appli- ances to be furnished him, such as pump, holster, etc., he hopes to make much better progress than he did on the other shaft. He calculates that he will gee his contract completed by the middle of August. He will prob- ably work two shifts as soon as the details of the work are all arranged, one from six in the morning to three in the afternoon and the other from three to ten at night.
 It is the intention of Mai. Drought to have the shaft down to the desired depth of 130 feet by the middle of December. In fact, this is about his outside calculation, and unless the task is accomplished by that time his plans will be seriously deranged :; so there is no doubt but that every edge will be made to cut and no time will be fooled away in the work.
 As natural consequence to q move of this kind speculation among the people has been rife as to what this movement means. Many theories are advanced and all kinds of stories and confiden- tial secrets have been passed around, but the people are but little if any wiser concerning the matter than when the subject was first introduced, nor are they likely to know much more than they do for several weeks te come.
 There is but one conclusion however, to be drawn from the sinking of a shaft following uK the drill hole, and that is the promoters of this mining scheme believe they have found some thing valuable, and from the manner they are pursuing it it is very evident they believe it quite strongly, but not unti they are thoroughly satisfied they are correct in their conclusions and their interest demands such q course will the public be drawr into their confidence concerning the matter.
 There is but one course tha those upon the outside can pur sue with absolute safety and tha is to go right along with you business affairs as though nothing has happened, and patiently awai developments. All will be in formed of the findings in the du course of time. There is no dan ger of reaction from a boom tha has never been launched, whil the harvest from one will be jus , as great if started after develop , ments will thoroughly justify ii In other words, keep cool an
 be patient.
