 tingly Observed at St Agnes Church.

"hSy VooSiNSu al ot ASucs ShuiS Sh'
 The services at St. Agnes church this morning were more impressive than the daily services usually are, today being the ninth anniversary of Father Gallagh er's ordination to the priesthood. The altar and sanctuary were nicely decorated, the music was very fine, the hymns in Latin and English being quite appropriate to the occasion. The vestments worn are gift to Father Gala gher from the young ladies of his choir. They were recently imported from France by the McKeown Bros, of St. Louis and are very handsome. The design is floral richly embroidered in gold on heavy white moire silk.
 It was not expected that Father Gallagher would be here today as he left on Sunduy with the In- tention of going to Little Rock, but he returned this morning, and the services, though un- expected, were very we'll attended.
 Father Gallag her came to Mena immediately after his ordination and has been here ever since. He is devoted, heart and soul, to his people and they recipro cate his devotion. We wish him many years of happy, prosperous work and hope that he will long be a resident of Mena.

e. J. Jerkins Gives Some Good Advice
10 Readers OF The Eagle.

A weak stomach and its resulting ills are
not natural. With proper care and the
use of Mi-o-na stomach tablets, the very
worst case of indigestion or stomach trou-
bic can be completely cured.
Il Is sin to deprive oneself OF enjoy
men, In life and became burden to others
through indigestion.
The backaches, headaches, distress
after eating, loss Of appetite, gulPing up
Of undigested food and gases are not naur-
al. Mi-o-ns stomach tablets used Tor a
few days before meals will so strengthen
the digestive organs that you can eat any
thing YOU want without fear OF distress or
resulting sickness.
The directions for taking Mi-o-na EN-
phasi1e the difference between this remedy
and the ordinary medicine that is given
for indigestion. Aii-o-na is to be used be-
fore meals. strengthening the digestive sys-
tenn for the food which is to be EATEN,
while the ordinary remedy is taken after
meals, and simply diges,s the food without
strengthening the stomach.
Z. /. Jenkins has so much faith In the
meri, Of Mi-o-na tina, he sells il under a
guarantee to refund the money, in case II
does not cure. A 5O-cent box of Mi-o-na
will do more real good than a dozen pack
ages of the ordinary remedies sold for in
digestion. Then, too, /, costs nothing
unless II cures.
