GOOD Liver REMEDY FREE

When you suffer from any form OF
indigestion it is always we'll to take
something for the liver, as usually the
trouble lies there. If you are bilious,
have a bloated feeling after eating, if
you belch. il your skin is yellowish
you may be sure it is liver trouble.
What you need is something to stir
up the liver, to arouse the gastric
juices so that they will aid in the di-
gestion OF your food A very good
remedy for this. and one highly rec
commended by those who have used
it, is DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
which you can obtain of any druggist
at fifty cents or one dollar bottle.
But if you have any doubt about its
merits, and would prefer to try it
first, send your address to DR.. Cald-
well and he will promptly send YOU a
free sample bottle

SWEET HOME

There was quite a crowd
gathered at Sweet Home school
last Friday to see one of the best
schools ever taught close. The
children done fine with their re-
citations and songs. The school
was taught by Mrs. Pearl Cox,
of Arcadia, as principal and Mrs.
Mamie McCasklll, of near Wal
laceburg. as assistant.
We could not express our
thanks to them in words for the
interest they have had in the
school from the first day until
the last one was gone. The child
rem did not learn because they
feared the teachers but becau Sc
they loved them. | don't think |
ever saw a school taught with so
little trouble. There was not a
cross word spoken between the
children at school that amounted
to anything.
Mrs. Cox and Mrs. McCaskiIi
are two of the best instru:to
in Southwest Arkansas, and if
we can get them for our next
term of school | think that Wi
be the thing for the people of
this district to do.
After the school osed til
teachers passed apples around
and all said farewe with teas

RAISE HAY THIS YEAR
Robinson

One thing we must do this
year and that is to raise more
hay and to arrange for our past
ures. 1t is time for every one
of us to face the fact that the
greatest prosperity can only come
to the Southern farmers through
asystem of diversified farming
and this means that we must
keep more live stock and feed
them better. This thing of
Southern farmers buying hay
from the West is just a little bit
too ridiculous, anyway. 1t is
something TO make every one of
us ashamed and We can't quit it
a minute too soon. But of course
we must buy hay so long as we
don't raise ii ourselves. boz
ems Of farmers in every section
of the South have proved that
nay raising is even more profit
able than cotton raising, but the
most OF US go right ahead and dis
.egard al the evi lence of their
experience, Perhaps there is
ome hope Cor reform this year,
We have realized that to plant
II the land we possibly can to
