saVED MY LIFE

That's what a prominent
druggist said of SCOTS
Emulsion a short time
ago. AS q rule we don t
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
similar expressions are
made SO often in cOnnec-
ton with Scots En- ulsion
that they are worthy Of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age, Scott
Emulsion offers a reliable
means Of remedying i'm
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The acti ion of
SCOTS Emulsion is no
more Of q secret than the
composition Of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish-
ment-the kind of nourish-
ment that cannot be OBJ
tanned in ordinary food.
No system is too weak or
delicate to retain Scott
Emulsion and gather good
from it.

The Weather.

AS, The News went to press last
Friday it was showing and it con-
tinued to snow until the fall
amounted to eight inches. This
added to the previous falls makes a
total of p inches for Canyon City
this winter. From all reports the
southern part of the county has re-
ceived more than this.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day it was warm and the melting
SHOWS made water everywhere.
Thursday, most of the snow disap-
peared-gone into the earth--and
the season in the ground is enough
to put smile on the face of the
traditional brass monkey.
The grass roots have soaking
all the way through and as soon
as the breath of spring passes over
the surface of the sod the life giving
grass will be ready to come by
leaps and a fine crop of it is already
assured.
AS The News stated last week,
the ground could not we'll be in
better shape from an agricultural
standpoint. 1t is wet "way down"
and the freezing process has given
it a vitality that will push planted
crops from the very beginning.
The outlook in this county is in
deed fine and in this respect we
might also include the whole Plains
country.

Following the next term OF the
County Court, End Monday ir
April, it was ordered that future
regular terms of said County Cour
should be held on the grid Mondays
in February, May, August an(
November respectively.
The county tax levy tor thi;
, year was put at s. cents on tn
sIoo-last year it was o5 cents
This is a reduction of ten cent
on the hundred dollars, and is al
right if the county can be run OF
that basis but to say the least of it
it is rather doubtful experiment.
In school districts Nos. I, a, 5, 6
7, 8 and 9 a levy for school 'pur-
poses was made OF IS cents on tn
500, and in districts Nos. 2, 3, L
and II, 20 cents on the 500 assess
ed valuation was levied.

Stock in the feed lots have not

Malvern Veterans Protest.

Resolved, That the Confedsr-

Arkansas, and to be returned by
the government to the state,
should be presented by an ex-
Confederate, and not by anyone
else"
This resolution was adopted
unanimously by the Malvern
Camp of Uuited Confederate Vet
erans. 1t was caused by the an
nounced determination of Gov
ernor Davis to personally present
the returned flags to The U. c. V.
at the reunion to be held at
Louisville. Similar protests are
going up from ex-Confederates
in different parts of the state.

The Divorce Evil.

Rev. F. M. Wylie, editor of the
Headlight at Morrilton, is maxi
ing an effort to arouse the 5enti-
ment of the public on the divorce
evil. He declares there has been
too little attention paid to this
question by the ministers of all
the churches. Editor Wylie says
there is now a movement on foot
among the states to have a uni
form divorce law, and adds: GAS
it is now, if one state has a strin-
gent law on the divorce evil, the
divorced party crosses the line
into another state and remarries.
II there could be concert of ac-
ton among the states on this
question, it might have a tend
eney to check the evil. "

Killed At Initiation.

Felsenthal, April 12.-Eben-

killed while being initiated into
the local Knights of Pythias
lodge, A pistol loaded with blank
cartridges is used in the course Of
the initiation, bat in some way,
not explained, the pistol had
been loaded with ball. When
Charles Filler, an officer of the
lodge, presented the pistol at the
head of the candidate at the
proper time, the lodge members
we're startled when the weapon
was discharged with a loud re-
port and Runyan was seen to
stagger and then fall heavily to
the floor. The members crowded
about the PROSTATE negro and
we're Mortified to find that he was
dead. An examination showed
that the bullet had entered the
b bra n, causing instantaneous
death.
