MUCH Time
Two Girls Tell How To
Avoid It.

There is nothing that teaches more
than experience. We therefore quote
from the letters Of two girls who suf-
fered and were restored to health. The
same remedy is within reach of all.
Brooklyn, N. Y. &c Prior to taking
the first bottle of Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound l suffered agony
every month, but after your wonderful
medicine had been taken while felt q
little better, and after taking seven bot
ties of it feel that can truly say
have no more pain or inconvenience.
GAS am out in the business world as

many girls, and when the opportune mo-
ment arrives tell them about the Veg
etable Compound and l know that quite
a few are taking it. "-HELEN CANET.

He Believed in Printers Ink.

J. R. Perkins of Berryville was in town last Friday wearing that uncon- ceYned look that really becomes man of leisure.
 "Perk," as he is known to most of us old timers, has just retired from the mercantile business, having sold his interest the big Perkins dry goods establishment to his son Will. MT. Perkins has made it about the best of any man who ever entered the mercan- tile field in this country, and as a consequence is able toretire long before old age has decreed him down and out.
 When asked how it happened, Perk reminded us that during his early career he worked at at the printing business and he got the Printers Ink" idea throughly fixed in his business makeup. During his business career of twenty years, if newspaper ever went out of Rerryville without his ad., it was an oversight on his part. He always told them about his business and knowing him to be there with the goods, he was never lacking of customers.
 Will Perkins, who succeeds to the ownership of the business, is "chip off the old block" and good big one he is too. Not only has he inherited fathers business sagacity in general way, but he seems determined to go him one or two better on the adver- Using deal. Last week he occupied more space in the Berryville papers than all the rest of the merchants put together, advertising bargains that were bound to bring business for many miles. He even had the audicity to distribute his special sale bills all over Green Forest and surrounding country, and the indications are the effort was not with out results.
 The Tribune predicts that this young man Perkins is going to cut wide swath in the mercantile business of Carroll county, and why shouldn't he? This country offers a great field for up-to-date business men. In fact, there are so few merchants of that ilk, that the real hustler finds but little competition.

SOME men die and leave to the world a vast accumulation of wealth. Very good so far as it goes, but the man who leaves nothing more has been failure indeed. Others be- queath to posterity fame, great name Or high social position. Such men, too, have failed if they have done nothing more. Still others give to the world new ideas in science, art and literature new inventions, discoveries, etc They have succeeded they have benefited the world and yet if they have achieved nothing further they, like those we have mentioned before, have fallen short of the true measure of greatness. The man whose heart goes out in sympathy to his fellow men-the man whose soul reaches out and touches others the man who loves meu-the man around whose knees little children cling, their hearts over flowing with love and happiness the man whose very heart thrills, whose very blood is quickened by the joys and sorrows, by the feelings and im- pulses of others-the man whom men love and whose death causes mourning deep down in every heart-he it is that is truly great. Such a man was the late Senator Bob Taylor of Tennessee.
