off the top and then when he made a
sale he cut the butter out with knife
or with little wooden spade OF with

We are in receipt of letters from Mrs. Eva Gaskins, 3o4 Madison St., Topeka, Kans, and Mir. P. H. Gavel- las, Wagoner, Okla, as well as many others, telling about the wonderful re- suits they have secured in the cure of their stomach and liver troubles by the use of Dr. Caldwelps Syrup Pep sin.
 This remedy. as all readers doubtless know, has been before the public for generation and is now being more ex- tensiYely used than any other remedy for stomach, liver and bowel com plaints According to reliable testi- many, it seems to be 2 very quick and lasting cure for constipation, indiges- tion and dyspepsia. liver trouble, bil- iousness, headaches. sour stomach gas on the stomach, drowsiness after eating and similar disorders. 1t is a liquid with tonic effect, and so mild and gem tic in action that child as well as grown person can take it, in fact it has no equal for children, women and old people.
 It arouses the flow of gastric juice. and by a peculiar action trains the stomach and bowel muscles to again d0 their work naturally, and in time medi- cines of all kinds can be dispensed with. A free sample bottle can be had for trial by sending your address to the doctor. for in this way Mrs. Gas kins, MT. Gavellas and many others first learned Of the cure. Later, when satisfied il is the remedy you need. do as others are doing and buy it of your druggist at fifty cents and one dollar q bottle.
 pr. Caldwell does not feel that the purchase of his remedy ends his obli- gation. He has specialized in stomach liver and bowel diseases fer over forty years and will be pleased to give the reader any advice on the subject free Of charge All are welcome To write him, Whether for the medical advice or the free sample address him Dr. " B.

LET'S GET BUSY

The BatesviIIe Guard has given its hearty endorsement to the Newport-Batesyillepik pike, suggested by The Journal, and offers the fol- lowing suggestion, which The Journal thinks a good one:
 Newark is the central point be- tween the two places. Let preIim- mary meetings be held in Newport. Magness, Newark, Sulphur Rock, Moorefeld and Batesville to dis cuss this proposition; tit be de- termned just what each town and the citizenship along the route can and will do toward this splendid highway. Then let each separate meeting delegate q large number of representatives to attend a gen eral big booster road meeting to be held at Newark, and from the plans of the different meetings let a plan for the construction of the Newport Batesyille highway be made. This road can and should be built at q nominal expense if each town and community along the route will join in making it success. Crops will soon be laid by, and 1t will be an easy matter to obtain teams and men. Let q per feet organization be made first, and then let the work proceed in an intelligent manner.

VETERANS SERVICE
 TO BE REMEMBERED
Commission Grants Free License to Old Soldier Who Is
 Grocer

q will never be a party to a re- fusal of any reasonable concession to a Confederate veterans" was the pointer given yesterday by President Culpepper Exum in voting to grant an old soldier free license who was labor ing to support a crippled wife from the proceeds of a small grocery store.
 "I have in mind no men who have done so much for the younger genera tions to revere as the Confederate sol diers," said MT. Exum. They fought, bled and died for a principle and in their valor we are proud. I do not think the Confederate soldiers should ever want for anything that can be given them by patriotic city, grate- ful commonwealth or a people with the right kind of appreciation for ser vice so valient and as honorable as theirs"
 The sentiment of President Exum was called for by Captain J. Lawler Darby, appearing and petitioning the board to make concession to an old soldier whom he was friendly to.
 NO better man ever shouldered a musket than he,' said Captain Darby.
