 Say, can you imagine anything more interesting and spectacular than to see .more than two hundred merry school childron hunting Easter eggs '? each one eager to win the prize for finding the greatest number of eggs each one with the idea of doing his best, whatever engaged in. work or play, which shows the careful training the children have received at the hands of these faithful and untiring teachers, and you may be sure that when educational interests are to be promoted, they take the forward stride.
 After the children had searched every nook and corner and had found practically every egg, they were again lined up for the caunt, resulting in Master Sturgeon Neel being awarded first prize, and Miss Mary Ahlstedt the booby prize.
 The admission charged was 10 cents and we understand that more than twenty dollers was cleared,

R. F. D. NO. 2 TIMES.

l regret to chronicle the sad news of the death of MT. William McIIaney, father of Miss Meda McHaney, who our good people will remember with great kindness as the teacher at Pop- lar Grove school last year. The sad event occurred at Paragould Friday night, April l0, at the advanced age of 70 years. The death of this noble man was full of years of honor. His circle of friends was large. but select. Thougll neither a politician nor writer on public topics, his influence on pub lie questions was by no means incon- siderable in short. he was one of those men who make a distinct impression on the history of the day. I am pleased to know that his old age was spent in quiet retirement, free from the cares and anxieties of life that a useful career was crowned by happy and eontented end. At the extreme age he had attained his death could not have been unexpected. sympa- thile sincerely with the family in their great loss which is the Heavenly Fathers gain. His life was an exam pie of Christian living. We wish there were many more like him.

Raise More Corn.

To encourage our customers to plant more corn we propose to give as a premium to the one of them showing the best twenty ears of corn on or before November Is, 1909, one of our best Studebaker BuggieS. We do not believe that our farmers will ever prosper as they should until they raise more corn. More corn means more hogs and smaller store accounts. Millions of dollars go to the Western farmers every year from the South to pay for corn, meat and mules, conse- quentlY the Western farmers are out of debt and show larger bank accounts than ever before. The South should be self sustaining.

Best Stomach
 Remedy Free

 ach is sound the whole body is safe. because so much depends upon the proper working of the stomach. Many persons find themselves with dis- order of the stomach which pro- duces dyspepsia or a peculiar state ot biliousneSs.
 If you suffer from both stomach trouble and constipation you are on the way 10 d very serious disease. From just such con- ditions come appendicitis, rheumatism, skin diseases and similar disorders, De- cause the waste matter that should have been dispelled from the system through the bowels has found it's way into the blood and vitiated it. What is needed at this point is not simply violent cathartic tablet or salt, which usually does more harm than good, but a gentle laxative tonic like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. which people have been using for these tury. It cured J. c. Lanham, Of War rensburg. Mo. of stomach trouble or long standing also William Voll. of s0S Ellls- son St, Louisville. Ky, who had the trouble for fifteen years.
 However, if you have stomach troubie you want to know from personal eXperi- ence what Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin will do for you. If so. send your name to the doctor and a free trial bottle Will be sent you. You are urged 10 sena TOT TOT the free bottle, as the results from II VIII be the best recommendation of Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin.

A MODEST BURGLAR
Made Three Breaks for a Suit Of

Manchester, July 20.-Someone
wishing new outfit of clothing and
something to eat broke into three

night. The first place visited was
the bowling alley recently erected by
II. w. Madison, where ladder was
procured to use in effecting an en-
trance into the other places.

store, the prowler broke a pane of
glass and released the catch. After
going to all this trouble, however, he
was very humble in his wants, select
ing a hat and a shirt from Mr..
Heinels stock, and for outer gar
ments taking coat belonging to
Prentiss Kent of Dorset and a pair of
trousers owned by Walter Shaw of
Manchester Center which had been
left to be pressed. The discarded
clothes and hat were left In the store,
but nothing was found to establish
the mans identity.
The Combination Cash Store,
owned by the late A. l.. Graves was
entered in the same manner. but on
ly few things, mostly eatables were
taken.

TO GRANT BUILDING PERMIT
Village Trustees Held Special Meeting.
Monday Evening.

The village trustees held special
meeting Monday evening for the pur'
pose of taking action on permit for
the erection of an addition to the
store on Main street owned by VIM.
e. Hawks and occupied by II. c..
Roster and Co.
Some time ago the owner of the
property broke ground for the addi-
ton under a permit granted by tne
trustees who were in office in 1906
Objection was made by the adjoining
property owners, A. X. Richie and
Il. l.. Nichols and special meeting OF
the trustees was held a week ago
Monday evening to take action on the
matter. The trustees could not agree
among themselves upon the require
ments constituting a fire-proot build
ing and the matter was referred to
the fire committee. At the second
meeting a permit was granted with
the understanding that the lower
floor of the building which is to be Il
feet deep and the width of the build
ing shall be sheathed with iron both
inside and out and that the upper
story snail be iron-sheathed on the out
sic. The roof is also to be fire proof.
The location of the electric lighting
poles in front of the Congregational
church came up but it was decided
that the matter could be adjusted by
the members of the street committee
and the church trustees.
