WHY NOT GET
 A GUARANTEE? ?
Every Article of Merit That is Sold These Days is Guaranteed = No Guarantee Often Means Poor
 Quality.

There is very little excuse for any person to claim that he has been "stung' on purchase. Fifty years ago the buyer had to look out, but to- day it is unusual to find a merchant who will not return the money for any article that has proved unsatis- factory.
 An excellent example of this kind of fair dealing is shown by the clean cut guarantee that the City Drug Store give on. Liver Tone
 These people tell us that any person who pays soc for bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone and does not find it gen. tie and most pleasant liver tonic, harmless, but sure reliever of con stipatiou and a perfect substitute for calomel, can get his money back just as quick as they can get it out of the money drawer.
 Dodson'S Liver Tone has practically taken the place of calomel. It is ab- solutely harmless, sure in it's action and causes no restriction of habit or diet. No wonder the drug people are glad to guarantee it, while other rem- edies that initiate the claims of Dod- sons Liver Tone are not guaranteed at all

Three Insane.

A white man and two negroes, one male and one female, were taken to Little Rock Tuesday and placed in
 the State Hospital for Nervous Dis eases, by Chief Deputy John Tanker sley. assisted by MT. Charley Walker.
 The white man is named McAnally. He lived over in St. Francis bottoms,
 and has recently become insane on the subject of religion. He was naked; got up out of his bed, grabbed hls llt- tie sick baby in his arms and ran down the road for about mile; laid the baby down in the road, and ran on down the river road about four miles; swan the river twice, and was finally captured by MT. Marion Brew CT, who lives on the Walter Hill place,
 and two negro men of that section. and brought to town. When he arriv- ed here he seemed to talk quite rationally, and was quiet, until some- thing reminded him of religion, then he would shout and sing and pray to beat the band His shouting and loud praying led to his capture. On the way to the train Monday, though
 handcuffed and in chains, he was des-
 perate and hard to handle, requiring the assistance of half dozen strong men to get him on the train. He told the officers if they would take the chains off of him, there was not enough men in St. Francis county to whip him, or words to that effect, and he certainly seemed to have supernatural strength. The negroes were Annie Moore, of this vicinity, and Grant Wallace, of near Democrat.

Good for the Ladies.

What would become of all or us, if 1t were not for the good women? God bless them. They are the salt of the earth and the beginning and end of all good works.
 A number of them have worked faithfully to get the cemetery in good order, and last week we published a notice for them asking help to gravel the driveways, and cut the grass and weeds
 Thursday (yesterday) was the time set, and Is wagons, teams and drivers, and several other hands, were sent by public-spirited men to help the ladies in their laudable work.
 Each team hauled six loads or more of concrete gravel-The finest kind making nearly 100 loads that were put on these driveways, and Mir. A. l.. Stevens attended in person and super intended the placing of . this gravel and otherwise directed the work in conjunction with number of the ladies who spent the day on the grounds and served dinner to the laborers
 We hear it was a sumptuous spread, and it was contributed by other ladies and themselves, quite a num- Der sending baskets, etc
 We understand the work is being continued today, and by nightfall, if the work proceeds with the same sue cess as it did yesterday, the entire driveway will have been graveled, and much of the grass and weeds destroy ed.
 All honor and praise to these noble women, and to all who in any way helped, aided or abetted this great work
 We hope they have been able to ac. complish their hearts desire in this matter. They deserve success and to be encouraged
