Excitement During Storm.

iAAS bPp1 ouCll Ol lue GCI1ldQO cIodL- ed great excitement all over the city and especially in the business section where shoppers and others gathered in the streets and viewed the angry looking green cloud that moved to- ward Pine Bluff from the west. The atmosphere was sultry and hot throughout the day, but late in the afternoon black clouds banked in the west and in short while turned to a frightful green. Many men hurried to their homes and telephones were kept busy by frightened ones, urging their relatives to "come home.'
 The tornado was preceded by a heavy downpour of much hail, which lasted about twenty minutes. Then wind twisted and blew from every di- rection. Almost total darkness pre- vailed at one time during the storm, adding to the excitement and lights went out all over the city. During the storm three fire alarms were sent i in, each of the fires being caused by a live wire. They were quickly ex- tinguished, however. by the prompt arrival of the fire boys. The first alarm was sent in from No. 1205 West Fifth avenue, the second from the wholesale house of the Hammett Grocer Company and the third from the McGaughy Hardware Company.
 At 10 o'clock last night the big bur- glar alarm that protects the vault at the Bank of Pine Bluff began ringing and created much excitement Po- lice and firemen hurried to the 1 building, expecting to find burglars there, but were disappointed. Be- fore Cashier Hudson was able to get down to the bank and enter the vault and cut out the current, the gong rang for more than an hour.
 Streets Like Rivers.
 For more than an hour during the storm the streets all over the city were like rivers. Wagons, automo-

Trees and SignbOards.

From the eastern portion of the city comes the report of trees be- ing torn up by the roots, some fall ing on the light and phcne wires and others upon the houses. Residents of the southwestern section of the city state that practically all the gardens of that part were demolished with trees and fences carried away from many of the yards
 At Second avenue and Alabama street a mammath signboard, owned by Hills Advertising Service, was completely blown away. Many oth- CT of the large boards owned by this company were also destroyed and blown down. In the southeastern part of the city hundreds of trees were blown down. At the residence of R. H. Turner, No. 1903 State street, large tree in front of the house was struck by lightning dur ing the storm, and was split in hal yes, however the house escaped dam age. In all of the reports so far no one has been reported injured or killed, but this is possibly due to the promptness of the light companies cutting out the current on all their wires during the night, possibly say ing many from death by electrocu- tion.

MEDICINES MADE FROM ROOTS

In the good old-fashiOned days of our grandmothers they depended upon medicines made from the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease
 Lydia F.. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, that standard remedy which is made from roots and herbs for wom- ans ills, had it's origin in this way. For thirty years it has been redeeming its promises written on the label of every bottle by curing thousands of women of feminine ills. It's a good honest medicine.

Thou hast tried me with affection.
