NOTICE

To my friends and the general
public of Nevada County:
| wish to announce that | am
a candidate for the office of Cor
oner, and my name would have
appeared on the ticket but for
the fact of a misunderstanding
as to the law in the matter. |
paid my fees to the election com
missioners and thought that was
sufficient but found out, when
too late, that it required a petit
ton of fifty names to get my
name on the ticket legally. You
will, however, find a blank line
for that purpose and | will be
pleased if you will write my name
in that blank.
Thanking you for past courte-
sizes, | am yours truly,
DR.. w. w. Rice.

We notice in the Gazette OF

Commissioner of the land office
will offer himself for state treas

faithful officer in the capacity
he has been called to fill, and we
believe if nominated and elected
to the responsible position to
which he now aspires that the
state of Arkansas will have a
safe treasurer. With what deal
ings we have had with Mr.. Cotf-
man we have found him to be a
perfect gentleman and we UNI
hesitatingly say that We would
like to see him elected treasurer
of this state. We still believe
in rotation in office and especial

IN MEMORY

Again the dark clouds gather
and hide the light Of day, so
death has entered our community
and thrown its dark mantle over
the home of Sister Bright and
children and taken a loving
tender husband, kind and af-
fectionate father, an exemplary
citizen and a true neighbor.
The subject of this sketch is
Bro. B. c. Bright.
Bro. Bright was born in South
Carolina. February, 1927. At
an early age his parents moved
to Mississippi and from there to
Louisiana. He professed faith
in Christ and joined Mt. Zion
Baptist Church and was baptised
by Elder Jessy Tubs at the age
of IS. Came to Arkansas at the
age of 25. Was married to Miss
Mary Ann Franks at the age of
"a. Eight children were born to
them. all living except one. He
served faithful and true as a
soldier in the late war, joined
the Masonic Fraternity in 1861.
Was one of the Charter Members
in the organization of Mt. Pisgah
Church. All these years Bro.
Bright lived a consistent christian
life. scattering sunshine wher-
ever he went. One would natural
ly feel better after having met
him. He always welcomed friends
and loved ones to his home and
heart. Uncle BaSset, as he was
Familiarity called, was one of the
few men that passed over the
river to his reward without leav-
ing a single enemy. The writer
has heard it often said before
and after his death by those that
knew him all their lives, that he
was one of the best men they
ever knew. He is not dead but
his spirit is gone to that God
that he loved and served so faith
fully and his memory lives.
God was good to him. He
lived to a good old age, had time
to prepare for great reward in
the beautiful home of the re-
deemed. Death came at last.
He died at the home of his
daughter, Mrs, w. J. Martin, on
January %, 1909 at the age of
80, doubtless he found comfort
and JOY as he walked through
the valley and shadow of death.
There was large con course of
people came to the funeral. Many
of the old soldiers and old time

A Common Cold.
BILLY

We claim that if catching cold
could be avoided some of the
)St dangerous and fatal dis
eases would never be heard of.
A cold often forms a culture bed
for germs of infectious diseases.
Consumption, pneumonia, dip
liberia, scarlet fever, four of the
most dangerous and fatal dis
eases, are of this class. The Gull
ture bed formed by the cold ia
vors the development of the
germs of these diseases, that
would not otherwise find lodg-
ment. There is little danger,
however of any of these diseases
being contracted when a good
eXpectorant cough medicine like
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
used. 1t cleans out these cul-
ture beds that favor the develop
ment of the germs of these dis
eases. That is why this remedy
has proved so universally sue
cessful in preventing pneumonia.
1t not only cures your cold
quickly, but minimizes the risk
of contracting these dangerous
diseases. For sale by the City
Pharmacy.
