remedy relieves pain, reduces

heals up all open wounds and
sores. It is the one perfect, mod

wound. It's quick use will posi-
lively prevent blood poisoning.
Always keep it al hand.
Says Mrs. Jessie Farris, OF Eliz-
abeth, KY: my little boy was
badly burned on both legs, which
were so drawn out of shape that
he could not even crawl. I tried
many remedies without relief, but
finally Hamlins Wizard Oil made
a perfect cure, and he can now
walk and run. We thought we
should have to amputate both his
legs, and feel that Hamlins Wizard
Oil saved his life." Price Doc and

AUGUSTA MAY BE DRY.

Augusta, Dec. 27.-Augusta is likely to be "dry" next year. A large and enthusiastic meeting composed of staunch business snen and citizens of the city, was held in the city hall today. Judge Ed s. Carl Lee was made chair man, and R. T. Harville, secre- tary. An executive committee consisting of J. L. Conner, w.. E. Ferguson, T. L. Gardner, J. G. Haralson, Fred Shoup and Rev. MT. Wise was given plenary power. The citizens present raised $500 easily, employed counsel and will circulate peti- tions in conformity with the To- cal prohibition laws, which will be signed freely, even by some who have heretofore refused to side with the Prohibitionists. It is stated that the whiskey men will not fight the movement, as the sentiment is so pronounced against license.

Small Boy Shot.

Last Thursday when J. H. Hampton, who lives on the Den ington place on the island east of Paragould reached home he found his family in an uproar over the accidental shooting of his little son, five years old. The sister of the boy, two years his elder, was fooling with a didn 't-know- it-was-loaded shot gun, when the gun was discharged, and the contents went into the lower limbs of the boy. Fortunately the gun was loaded with small shot and the wounds are not dan gerous and will not permanently injure the boy.
