ONLY ONE BEST
People Give Credit Where Credit
 Is Due.

People of Newport who suf- fer with sick kidneys and bad backs want a kidney remedy that can be depended upon. The best is Deans Kidney Pills, a medi- cine for the kidneys only, made from pure roots and herbs, and the one that is backed by cures in Newport.
 Read what follows:
 It's convincing testimony.
 William Ferguson, Leona St., Newport, Ark, says: There is no doubt in my mind concerning the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills. They have proven their value in my case by relieving me of difficulties, caused by disord- cred kidneys. During the past three years I have had a great deal of trouble from my kidneys but on such occasions, I have us- ed Doan's Kidney Pills, in fact, I keepthem on hand for this pur- pose. I get my supply at Dut- tons Drug Store and I take them whenever I feel pain across my back or notice the least trou- ble from the kidney secretions. Without doubt, this preparation is the best one to be had for such complaints and I do not feel that l am overestimating its value when I make this state ment." ---s.s'

 From g recent interview with the farmers who have given the government demonstration plan a trial this year on cotton, we learn that it is successful in ev- cry respect. The method used is quite different from the old style of raising the staple and while the acreage is not so large a bet ter yield can be obtained on the same amount of ground than that which is worked on the old plan. R. D. Wilmans, Cromwell West and J. R. Stanley. who gave itla trial this year are old exper- fenced cotton "raisers" and they informed the writer that the yield from the Government crop" was much better than from cotton which was tended in the old way. This has been a l very poor year on the cotton crop, and the yield is far below the average. MT. w. T. Guin,

Sunday Revival Services.


 The Sunday services at the court house conducted by Rev. H. H. Hunt of Little Rock, were the best yet held, the large court room being taxed to hold the people, especially at the evening service.
 Rev. Mir. Hunt preached an ex- cellent sermon Sunday morning, and another to nen only at 3 p. m., which was largely attended. MT. Hunts subject for the even ing sermon was Almost thou persuadest me to be Chris tian." His talk on the text was a fine one during which time he used a number of strong illustra- tions that made palmer and very effective this great theme. At the close of the service a number asked for prayers, many staying for the after service.
 The large choir is adding much to the services, directed by Mir. Russell of Lonoke, whose solos are also much enjoyed by his hearers.
 Services every evening at z o'clock, also at 3 in the after noon.
