THERE'S NO SENSE
 IN TAKING CALOMEL

Dodsons Liver Tone will fix up your liver safely and won't knock you out" for day. A man feels very little like working and child don't want to go to school when bilious or constipated. If you try calomel to cure you, the chances are that you will be so weakened by it's after-effects that you will be laid up for two or three days more. So we say, Don't take Calomel' You can get perfect remedy to take the place of Calomel at City Drug Store that is guaranteed to relieve constipation and liven up the liver just as quickly as calomel, but without any of the bad after effects Of calomel. The name of this medicine is Dodson's Liver Tone. It is pleasant tasting vegetable tonic that mildly stimulates the liver and causes 1t to work just right without any danger of salvation. If it does not satisfy you, you may have your money back at the store you bought DOdSOD's

Death of J. $. YOumans.

No sadder news to his friends ever came over the wires than that of yes terday announcing the death of Mir. J. 5. 9oumans, of Pataskala, Ohio., which occurred at his home in that city Thursday morning, from heart failure.
 MT. YoumanS had many friends in this city and county, made during his bi-annual visits 10 this city and county, and but few visits were missed in the thirtythree years of his com ing. He was great sportsman, and no one enjoyed following the hounds, the bird dog, or fooliDg gobbler than he, and his fairness and congenialitv made him friends wherever he went. Every body knew him, and he will be missed, more particularly by MT. Newman Laughinghouse anI family, to whom he was more than a brother, and at whose house he made bis home while on his visits.
 MT. Newman Laughinghouse left Thursday at 5:30 for Pataskala to be present at the funeral.
 While on his visits to this city Mr 4oumans never failed to say "howdy' to the Times force, and they join with his many friends in extending coincidence to the bereaved family.

IN St. Francis county, the admin
 istration of public affairs is on an
 average, about like that of other counties of Arkansas. There is great deal of public work done There is nothing secret about the records and any citizen or interested person is at liberty to examine the books, and as a matter of fact, many do so in the pursuit of their business. But also as matter of fact, the great mass of citizenship never sees the records and knows little or nothing about condi- tions affecting the county's finances or administrative matters This is not the fault of the officials nor is the public to blame. It is a condi. tion due to our present laws which dc not call for enough publicity in pub. lie affairs. Arkansas is years behind other Southern States in such mat. ters, simply through neglecting to correct matters. Nearly eighteen thousand voters of this State became sufficiently alive to the welfare ot the state to initiate law which will be voted on in the September election. which will correct those conditions.
