Herpicide.

This word OF late has been in every
ones mouth, and many are wondering
what the word signifies, though no one
has yet been found, who will deny that
NEWBRo'S HERPICIDE does the WORK.
Well, for the information of thousands of
people who like to know all about a good
thing. we would say that HERPICIDE
means, destroyer or killer of Herpes" ="
Now Herpes" is the family name of a
disease caused by various vegetable par
ssites. A similar microbe causes dan
drun, itching scalp. and falling hair; this
is the micrObe that NEWBRO's HERPI-
eide promptly destroys; after which the
hair grows. Scld by leading druggists.

one.

 ary Measure.


 Little Rock, April 29.-The Oldham anti-lynchiug bill met defeat Tn the house after severe attack made upon its provisions by Messrs. killough and McCol. lum, who charged that it was revolutionary and would place the sheriff of any county in an attitude of dictating to the judiciary. Under the bill any sheriff who held prisoner against whom the community was aroused, and who feared that such prisoner would suffer from lynch law, could order the circuit court in session for immediate trial of the case.
 The bill was called up by MT. Powell. who stated that it was a solution of the lynch problem that had been presented by Father Lucey of Pine Bluff, and that this disting uished man be- lieved it would serve to reduce mob violence in. the South. Mir. Powell made strong plea that Arkansas give the law test.
