A REPLY

Yes, it seems, to put it in rhyme, That Thomas T. is not behind; But you should wait and lear in mind That Uncle Bill" has an axe to
 grind. It will seem very hard to give up the
 goal,
 Since the votes have been counted
 at tffe poll. In favor of the man who says now be
 still.
 For I'm the only Billy on this hill. Now the boys who were so gloriously
 defeated, Have prepared their bait and quietly
 retreated. They go hand in hand like one large
 band To seek sweet refuge in a happier
 land: There to await the awful day of fate, When they will gladly welcome their
 friend Tom Tate. The half has not yet been told, For the boys are all fishing in the
 same deep hole: They are sure and certain to catcf
 every ''shadi And not leave one thing for Tom T
 begad. It is then Mr. J. Q. will realize That it takes man with two good
 eyes. To rally the forces on the hill And defeat our old comrade ''Uncle
 Bill. $. r. MCCoOK. Sulphur Rock. Ark.

day at the tavern, there's a difficult

Recipe For Rheumatism.
Directions To Prepare Simple, Yet
Remarkable Home Mixture.

There is SO much rheumatism here
in Our neighborhood now that the fol-
lowing advise by an eminent au-
thority, who writes for the readers of
a large Eastern daily paper, will be
highly appreciated by those who suf-
fer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce fluid extract dandelion.
one ounce compound kargon, three
ounces OF compound syrup sarsapa-
rilla. Shake these we'll in a bottle
and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime; also drink
plenty of good water.
1t is claimed that there are few vic
Tins of this dread and torturous dis
ease who will fail to find ready relief
in this simple homemade mixture.
and in most cases a permanent cure
is the result.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elimina-
tive tissues of the kidneys, so that
they can filter and strain from the
blood and system the poisons, acids
n waste matter, which cause not
only rheumatism, but numerous other
diseases. Every mar Or woman here
who feels that their kidneys are not
healthy and active, Or who suffer from
any urinary trouble whatever, should
aot hesitate to make up this mixture,
as it is certain to do much good, and
may save you from much misery and
suffering after while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix
the prescription ready to take if our
readers ask them.

Again the muf1ed drum is heard,
Within our midst to call
Our scattered comrades far and near,
To honor all who fall.
Our ranks are thinning year by year,
Our footsteps shorter grow,
Our hearts are loyal as of old,
While marching here below.
Soon with our comrades dear,
Our marching will be done,
And we will lay our armor by,
At the setting Of life's sun.
When in that last great camp,
Where no bugle call shall sound,
Well rest from marching andfromwar,
On that eternal camping ground.
Peace to those who've gone before,
Their colors all are furled,
They've mustered out from ranks below
To join in that upper world.
