Of all the social functions tha have been enjoyed by the younger so ciety set during their season of Die nics, parties, etc, the tacky party a the home of MT. and Mrs. s. H. Mat thews is being declared unanimously the best yet.
 The affair was given in honor O. Mr. Matthews brother and thret friends, all of whom are visitors here from Pine Bluff.
 The guests began to assemble the hospitable home as early at egh o'clock attired in costumes of all out landish makeup. As each couple entered they were declared to be the most comical on the scene so far The boys and girls all say the sigh, of each other provided amusement enough for the entire evening, but the host and hostess had planned other amusements in addition. First it was decided prize should be awarded both the extremely tackiest boy anl girl after all had assembled After due consideration on the part of the judges the girls prize was pre- scented to Miss Margie Smith amid shouts of applause, while Bracy Ben son was the recipient of the boys prize. Both these costumes are in- describable.
 All childish, as we'll as old fash toned games were indulged in and at a late hour all stood erect as in their school days for an honest spelling match, prizes were awarded to those standing the longest.
 Refreshments, consisting of red lemonade and cakes were served in abudance. All in all it was quite an enjoyable affair-Camden Herald. Pine Bluff Boys Guests.

FIVE CHILDREN

 l was in a delicate condition, o1 account of relapse of measles winch left me in bad shape, and also had severe headaches and back ache Was in too bad a fix for any one to live. it seemed to me.
 l was told that my only chance was an operation. but decided to try Cardui instead. l only took two bottles, and now l am we'll and strong again.
 l don't believe there is any medi cine on earth that will help suffer- ing women as Cardui will l have already gotten several ladies to try 1t, and l am going to continue to recommend your medicine"
 For more than 50 years, Cardui has been successfully used in the treat ment of womanly ills. 1t has been found to relieve womea's pains. and women's weakness.
 If you are women, and suffer from any of the ailments peculiar to your sex, we urge you to give Cardui l trial. It has helped more than a million women in the past half cen- ury, and will do the same for you if | given fair trial.

FrankIin's Lightning Rods.

A discovery of historic and scien.

having new lightning conductors in

of one Of the original iron bar con.

under the supervision Of Benjamin
Franklin, the inventor Of the light

been inside one of the towers and so
not exposed to the weather, was still
in a good state Of preservation. The

they were called, led. at the time, to a
heated controversy as to whether
lightning conductors, should have
points or balls as; terminals. The
