HOW OLD PEOPLE
May Prolong Their Lives

At an advanced age waste Is more
rapid than repair. The organs act
more slowly and less effectually than
in youth. The circulation is poor, the
blood thin and watery, the appetite
poor and digestion weak.
We want to say to every aged per-
son in this vicinity that Vinol, our de-
licious cod liver and iron tonic with
out OILY will prolong life. 1t creates
an appetite, aids digestion and makes
good blood. In this natural manner
Vinol retards waste and replaces
weakness with strength, giving new
life to the worn system.
If people in this vicinity only real.
lied how Vinol invigorates old people
we would not be able to supply the
demand.
Try a bottle Of Vinol with the I'm.
derstanding that your money will be
returned If 1t does not help you

ted to Citizens of Randolph
County

= -
A meeting Of Eli Hufstedler
Camp No. 447, U. &. V. was held
at the court house last Saturday
afternoon with about 20 members
present. Mr.. John A. Stlnson,
president of the Columbus, Marble
Works of Columbus, Miss, was
present and submitted proposition
to erect a Confederate monument
in Pocahontas. The proposition
was received favorably and it was
the sense Of the body assembled that
it should be accepted. 1t is proposed
to locate the monument at the south
west corner of the court house
square. The cost will be one
thousand dollars, which it is
thought, can be raised easily, as
several members who were present
agreed to subscribe the sum of $40
each.
The body adjourned to meet
again Saturday, April 29th, to com
plete the arrangements for attending
the reunion at Little Rock next

MONUMENT fund

We are in receipt of a letter from
Earle w. Hodges, secretary of state,
inclosing check for S. to be added
to the fund being raised by citizens
here for the purpose of bringing the
ashes of former Governor Drew
back to his old home, Pocahontas,
for burial.
We recall the fact that Mr.. Hodges
was one of the origlnators of this
movement. After having talked the
matter over with Mr.. Hamil, Mr..
Skinner and other leading citizens
OF Pocahontas five or six years ago,
he wrote a letter to the Arkansas
Democrat relative to the matter and
the same was re-pubGshed in the
Pocahontas Star, which we were
publishing at that time.
Mr.. Hodges is very much interest,
ed In this movement and says be
hopes the subscription started here
will result in bringing the remains
of this great and good man back to
rest in Arkansas soil.

.P0CAHONTAS SUFFERED HEAVY
LOSS BY FIRE SUNDAY
Pringe Drug Store and Contents Destroyed
Other Buildings and Goods Damaged
Badly. Loss Will Exceed $4,000

Pocahontas suffered another big
loss Sunday morning about IL
o'clock, when fire broke out In the
Pringle drug store, completely des-
troying the building and contents,
very little of which was saved.
A stiff breeze from the south
west and the early collapse of the
Pringle building was all that saved
the entire south side of court square
from complete destruction. AS it
was, the beautiful new Randolph
CountyBank building suffered great.
er damage than any of the other near
by buildings. For time il appeared
that the building was doomed and
it is certain it would have been
destroyed but for the heroic work
of the faithful bucket brigade, for
which Pocahontas should be famous.
Even as it was the building is dam
aged to the extent of 81, 900 or more.
Those on the west side of the
drug store who suffered the heaviest
losses are D. L. Wiley, Mrs. Annie
Shivley and Lewis & Midkiff. The
goods OF each were badly damaged
in moving them from the buildings.
The fire originated in one of the
rear rooms OF the Pringle building,

DISAPROVE OF
DRAINAGE BILL
Citizens of East Side Hold Mass
Meeting at Court House and
Adopt Resolutions

A number of Randolph county
citizens residing in the vicinity of
Little Running Water slough OBJ
ject very strenuously TO the bill
introduced n the Legislature by
Senator Henderson last week and so
mass meeting was called for the
purpose of recommending that GER
tain changes be made in the bill be-
fore it be presented for final pass
age.
Accordingly about 40 citizens met
at the court house Saturday after
noon and the matter was taken up.
The opposition to the bill was led
by Attorney T. w. Campbell, who
owns land in the district affected
Mr.. Campbelrs first objection to
the proposed bill was that Law
renee county man was named as one
of the commissioners. Other minor
objections were mentioned and then
came the main issue, that of the
issuance of 20-year.6 per cent bonds,
Mr.. Campbell's contention being
that the job was not big enough to
require bond issue. His plan was
to raise the money by taxation
against the land affected, placing
the assessment at a figure sufficient
to raise the total amount of money
necessary to construct the ditch il
three years, pay for the same and
be done with it.
Uncle Dennis Reynolds, Ben A
Brown and others took issue with
Mr.. Campbell and several speeches
both for and against the proposed
bill, were made by parties interest

DEP0SIT0RS SUE
REYN0 STATE BANK
Siyty.0He Attachments and Gar
HishmentS Issued Against Di-
reCtOrS and Debtors

Y Sixty.one depositors of the de-
funct Reyno State Bank, through
their attorney, T. w. Campbell,
have had attachments and garnish
meats issued against that institu-
tion and its debtors.
Twenty-one of these are circuit
court suits, the others come within
the jurisdiction Of the justice of the
peace courts and will be heard be-
fore Esquire T. G. Casey at Reyno,
Monday, May lst.
The attachments are issued against
the bank d the garnlshnents
against the debtors-those who owe
the bank, either for money borrow
ed or on account of overdrafts, or
otherwise.
The total liabilities Of the bank
are about $4,000 and in these sixty
one cases about three-fourths of the
above amount Is involved. There
are number of other creditors, but
the claims of most of them are
small and would probably not pay
the costs of bringing the suit.
Efforts are yet being made to or
ganize a new bank, but the plans
have not so far materlalized.

capital city since the rejection of
Senator Henderson's measure and
hearing of this action he stated that
if Arkansas would give them per-
mission, that the legislature Of Tex
as would make an appropriation and
erect a monument over Gov. Drew's
grave there commensurate with the
high office that he held and his high
standing as an individual. The
members of our home legislature
who voted against this measure
might learn lesson from this noble
statement by that Texas official.
While this proposition Of the
speaker of the Texas Legislature was
a generous one, still it is our duty
to see that this is not done and that
he rests in the soil of Arkansas.
