An aching back is instantly
relieved by an application Of
Sloan's Liniment.
This liniment takes the place
of massage and is better than
sticky plasters. 1t penetrates
without rubbing through
the skin and muscular tissue
right to the bone, quickens the
blood, relieves congestion, and
gives permanent as well as
temporary relief.

plateau which OverlOoks the fertile
plain of the Meander river. At the
foot of the hills stands the modern
town of Adm, the second place of
Importance in the vilayet of Smyrna.
To-day this neighborhood is consid-
cred the garden spot of Asia Minor.
1t is the center of the fig district and
the olives and wine produced are
much priced on account of their quail
ity. This is also the region in which
the best cotton in Asia Minor Is
grown.
1t is probable that this valley was
kept in much higher state Of cult
walton in ancient times. When the
city surrendered to Alexander the
Great the figs of Tralles were cele-
brated throughout the ancient world
and 1t is well-known fact that at
that time the hills along the whole
extent of the Meander were covered
with forests which prevented, in a
measure, the destructive foundations
which characterize the river to-day.
Ancient Tralles now lies imbedded
under a vast orchard of olive trees.

STA MINOR is the stage upon which have been en-
acted some of the most stupendous events in the
history of mankind. Here the civilizations OF the
orient and the occident have met and struggled
for SUPREMACY The Persian and Greek, Roman
and Pontian, Byzantine and Moslem, Crusader and
Saracen, Turk and Mogul, each in their turn came
upon the scene, and were alternately overwhelmed
by the vicissitudes of human life. Fragments OF
columns, arches and temples now stand as silent
sentnes over the tOmbs of their empires and cities
To-day these mangled ruins present a melan-
choIy picture, yet they cannot be viewed without
pleasure and regret. The pleasure consists chiefly
in recalling the historical associations connected
with each, while the regret is caused by the fact
that nothing is done tc prevent their further decay
and demolition and that in all probability future
generations will lay considerable blame upon the
present age for not having done more toward pre-
serving these interesting and instructive ruins from
earlier destruction at least than would presum-
ably be their destiny if left alone to the silent lapse

FOR M0RTGAGING PROPERTY.
Citizen OF Sharp County Placed In Jail
At Batesyile.

JOIN H. Hamilton Of Center,
ShaSp county, was placed in Jail
here yesterday morning on a
charge of disposing of mort
gagged property. The complaint
was made by Weaver -Dowdy Co.
Last spring Hamilton drove a
spar Of good looking mules and
mortgaged them to Weaver
Dowdy Co. for $50 in trade on 80
days time. When the time came
around for the mortgage to be
satisfied, Hamilton came down
and sold DR.. Weaver that he had
made arrangements with the
bank at Evening Shade to pay
the mortgage off, and then made
a second mortgage on the mules
for another amount.
The bank at Evening Shade
did not take up the first mort
gage and upon investigation it
was found that Hamilton did not
own the mules.-Batesville Daily

up forcing elementary agriculture
to be taught in every public
school in the state. BY having
elementary agriculture taught in
the common schools of the
country the poor man and the
poor widow woman's children can
get the benefit of this law, and if
we build four or twenty high

Editor Record d:-There has a
false impression gone out over
the county in regard to an order
made by the county court at the
October, 1908, term. AT this
term Of court the road overseers
were ordered to go over all the
first class roads and clean them
up, and work the second class
roads when ordered by the court,
A subsequent order was made at
tho January term, 1909, ordering
the overseers to work tho second
class roads, using tho free labor
they had in the vicinity Of such
roads.
