Rheumatic Folks.
Are You Sure Your Kidneys are
 We'll?

Many rheumatic attacks are due to uric acid in the blood. But the duty of the kidneys Is to remove all uric acid from the blood. It's presence there shows the kidneys are inactive.
 Don't daily with uric acid sol- vents. You might go on till doomsday with them, but until you cure the kidneys you will never get well. Doan,s Kidney Pills not only remove uric acid, but cure the kidneys and then all danger from uric acid Is ended. Here is Springdale testimony to prove 1t.
 Mrs. Nj. E. Williams, living in the Western part of Springdale, Ark, says: ..I have used Doan' $ Kidney Pills and therefore have a knowledge of their curative properties. 1 was troubled off ana on for some time with kid hey complaint and rheuma tism. The pains in my back and loins were so acute that l could hardly endure them. l could not rest well at night and would rise in the morning tired and worn out and in no condition to begin the days work. Doan's Kidney Pills which l procured at H. A. Daily's drug store, on the advice of a friend, relieved me from the first. 1 do not hesitate to recommend them to the people of Spring dale for all kidney disorders.

DECEMBER WEATHER
Government Report Shows About
 Same as 1906 and 1907.

The report of the government weather bureau at Bentonville for the month of December shows that the average temperature for the month was only one degree warmer than 1t was Tn 1907 and one degree cooler than It was in 1900. Most of Us would have said that this has been the warm est winter for several years which only goes to show how forgetful We are as regards to weather conditions. The coldeSt day so far this winter was December 2nd when the thermometer was r degrees above zero. and the warmest was the 10th when 1t went to II above. The total rainfall for December was less than half an inch, which Is al- most one inch less than the aver age for this time of the year. December had 16 clear days, five partly cloudy days, and ten cloudy days.-Rogers Democrat.

ANOTHER GOVERNOR.
Arkansas Has Six Governors
 Within Two Years.

Little Rock, Ark, January Q. After next Monday Senator Jess Martin, who will be elected president of the Senate, at noon, will be acting governor of Ark ansas, as Gov. Pindall retires immediat tely after his successor, the president of the Senate, IS elected.
 Arkansas enjoys the distinc- tion of having had six governors for the term for which Gov. John $. Little was elected two years ago. Gov. Davis retired on Jan- uary r. 1907, to give way to Gov. Little. One week later Gov. Little was stricken with nervous prostration, and John Ike Moore of Helena, president of the Senate, acted as governor for four months.
 On the eve of the adjournment of the Legislature, Senator K. 0. Pindall of Arkansas City was elected president protem of the Senate, to succeed Acting Govern or Moore. During Gov. Pindall's absence from Arkansas last sum- ner Speaker Allen H. Hamiter came to Little Rock and was sworn in as acting governor and served four days.
 This is the first time in the history of Arkansas that the president of the Senate and speaker of the House have both acted as governor during the same term, In order to obv1ate further complications the Legis- lature, which meets Monday, will submit an amendment to the constitution creating the office ot lieutenant governor. Senator Jess Martin will act as governor until Governor-elect Donaghey is inaugurated, ole week from next Wednesday.

STATE TEACHERS.
Some of the Prizes Awarded at
 the Recent Meeting.

The forty-hrst annual meeting ot the Arkansas State Teachers Association, which closed with the old year, was by far the most successful i'll the history of the association. The attendance showed an increase of nearly fifty per cent and the adoption of section programs proved most valuable.
 Doctor H. s. Hartzog, Presi- dent of Ouachita College at Ark adelphia, was elected president. The Southern Educational Asso- citation will, very probably, meet at Little Rock in conjunction with the Teachers Association at the next session.
 The Silver Loving Cup offered by Superintendent Cook to the county with banner attendance was awarded the delegation from Randolph County, 37 members travelling 1S7 miles each way. There was only one from this county the year before. Wash ington was second and Sebastian third.
 The trophy for the banner School Improvement Association was awarded to the Central Association at Little Reok. with Searcy second and Siloam Springs third and special mention for the report of Eureka Springs.
 The i've handsome framed pie lures for the best essays on School Improvement by pupils were awarded as follows: High School prize to Lelah Blanche Smith of Paragould; Grammar Grades, to Eunice Blenkenship of Pocahontas and Lizzie Frantz of Stuttgart; Primary Grades, to Maud Hatfield of Green Forest and Hortense Gwyn of Forest City. Many other compositions were marked for special merit and diplomas will be mailed to all these in a short time.

OKLAHOMA BOOMER
Former Arkansas Citizen Invites
 His Friends 10 Come and See

Prague, Okla, Jan. I, 1909.- Editor News: am very glad to get your paper once more. l have decided to write few notes for the the benefit of my old neighbors and home folks, as l was raised iii that part of Arkan- sas. l was raised III Benton County, and ny love still goes back to my childhood days, that were spent i'll what l considered hardship and trouble. But alas 1t was the sunshine of my life, long to be remembered.
 l have been Ill Oklahoma for seventeen years, and live seven miles from the town of Prague, in Lincoln County, twenty-eight miles northeast of the center of the grand state of Oklahoma.
 According to the geographical survey, Prague IS one of the best towns in the state. It has a cos mopolitan makeup of citizen ship. Situated on the It. Smith X Western Railroad, Tn the south eastern part of Lincoln County and on high prairie, one of the most fertile in the state north of the North Canadian River, one of the best corn, cotton. and al falfa regions in Oklahoma.
 Prague has trade territory covering an immense area. It has a record of f5,000 bales of cotton for one years shipment. The population IS some less than 2,000. It has four gins and they are used in taking care of this monster crop. We also have cotton oil mill of forty tons daily capacity, employing thirty-tlve men. The business houses are substantial and beautifully built, as are also the residences. They have recently put Ill 12ft concrete sidewalks at cost of S10, ,o0O, and are now on the point of put ting Ill $47, GOO water works and electric light plant, which will be big improvement for our town. Natural gas will also be secured within a year.
 In the matter of education they can boast of as good a school system as any of their sister states. Nearly all church de- nominations are represented and the moral tone of the city is very high, and everything combined to make a nice town. People of Springdale and surrounding country could make no mistake Tn coming here to look for good locations of any kind.
 Very truly,

OUT IN WASHINGTON.
Cleveland Webster We'll Pleased
 With that Country.


 Dear Editor: Through the columns of your paper l desire 10 extend to you and to the readers of The News the compliments of the season, hoping that your Christmas was d pleasant one and that the New Year may be to you, your family and my Ark ansas friends, d most prosperous one.
 Walla Walla is i'll the center of the great Walla Walla Valley region, beautiful to the eye, pos sessing a fertile soil, together with most desirable climate. Walla Walla IS the leading edu- cational center of the three states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. There is an atmos- phere of home life about tile city that finds its outward expression i'll its beautiful residences, hand- some churches and splendid schools. And while the domestic side of life has developed, It seems not to have been 1t tile expense of other municipal Ieat- ures.
 It is a substantially built city of 10000 population, with all modern improvements. Tile lack of transportation facilities, which in time past hampered its devel- opment, has been supplied and with the advent of two Projeetive railroads, one Of which 1s to be used in connection with an open Columbia River, Walla Walla will become an important rail- road center.
 In the early days of settlement, when the hills were covered with bunch grass all of the year around, the great source of wealth was centered in tie live stock interests, but the piow- share of the farmer transformed the grassy plain into grain fields and wheat became the ruling crop. In recent times II las been demonstrated that the culti- vation of fruits and vegetables is even more profitable than wheat raising and that much of the land, now devoted to cereals, IS better suited to fruit growing, yielding profits several times larger. There is scarcely fruit, cereal or vegetable that does i1ot grow we'll here.
 Walla Walla is the center of one of the richest agricultural regions in all that country. Within radius of two hundred miles i'll any direction there is not larger city. While an very favorably impressed with this country and especially with Walla Walla, yet l have not forgotten Arkansas. my na- tive Southland home, the most self sustaining garden spot Of the world, the home of tile biz red apple, and land of sacred and heroic memories, a land whose soil not long since we moistened with tears of grief, the land up- on whose bosom are pilloWed the remains of those nearest us by human ties.
 Yours respectfully,
 Cleveland +. Webster.
