hest of any county in his dis
trict. with whose work he had

county clerk has been up to the
high standard he set when first
elected to public office.
Not only is the business of the
office thus well and methodically
handled, but our present county
clerk is known as a most excel

and high character have never
been questioned. He always
has the time, no matter how
busy, to give any man, whether
stranger or friend, the informa-

RESULTS THAT REMAIN
Appreciated By Newport
People.

Thousands who suffer from
backache and kidney complaint
have tried one remedy after an
other, finding only temporary
benefit. This is discourag;ng,
but there is one special kidney
medicine that cures permanent
ly and there is plenty of proof
right here in Newport.
Here is the testimony of one
who used Doan's Kidney Pills
years ago. and now states that
the cure was lasting.
Mrs. O. w. Blackburn, NAL
colin Ave, East Newport, Ark,
says: Il gladly confirm the tes-
timonial which | gave in praise
of Doan's Kidney Pills some
years ago. The cure this rene
dy made has been permanent,
but / still take a few doses oc-
casionally as a kidney tonic. At
one time | was greatly annoyed
by a dull pain in the small of my
back and / always felt tired and
languid. The aecretions from
my kidneys bothered me and
other symptoms of kidney COM
plant were present. Doan's
Kidney Pills, which | obtained at

elected: p. II. Antweiler, +. =.
Bond, f. A. Crewson, +. w. Curtis,
Samuel Daniels, Conway Jones, &.

The First National has done Il
splendid business the past year, and
their business is continually growing
and spreading. They not only de-
clared an eight per cent dividend,

China is progressing! What will

Onwa.d and upward is the cry. The
world is growing better. 1t has
learned that crowns and tyrants are
useless. Portugal leads the way.
China says she will no longer be led
by rice, pagodas and crowns; Spain

will soon follow in the wake. The

shall see greater progress intelectu-
