BREAKING OUT
 BEGAN ON r AGE
Spread All Over Body, Red Rash Would Appear itching Something Awful, Skin Dry and Rough Used CutiCura Soap and 0tnt- ment and Was Entirely We'll,

Tee Dee, Nont.-"I had breaking out for several years. It began on my face and spread all over my body. My face would feel hot and a rcd rash would appear itch ing something awful. My skin seemed to get dry and rough. Watcry bIisters would form which itchod. tried not to scratch for fear of leaving scars. Sometimes did have red marks for several days after the rash would leave. The breaking out was worse each time 1t appeared, could not sleep nights.
 "I tried several different things but never could get rid of the itching entirely until I used Cuticura Soap and Ointment. l soon got relief bought some Cuticura Soap and only two large boxes of Cuticura Oint- ment before was entirely we'll" (Signed) Miss Ida p. LaBrco, October 27, 1914.

Mich. Rev. Laslette and his wife
have already received their house

He has served as secretary of the
YIN. C. A. at Montgomery, Ala,
and has preached in numbers of
cities in Alabama, Louisiana and
Texas. During recent years he
has been in charge of a Christian
church in Bangor. Mich. Rev.
Laslette's coming to Paragould Is
due to the recommendation Of
Evangelist J. A. Bennett who con-
Quoted a protracted meeting in this
city several months ago. Acting
upon his suggestion the members of
the local congregation extended a
call to Rev. Laslette, and further
acting upon the advice of Evange
list Bennett, the Bangor minister
was induced to accept the call. Up
on the eve of his departure from
Bangor Rev. Laslette and his wife
were the recipients of many valua-
BILE gifts in token of the esteem in
which they are held in that city

the Hopkins Drug Co. Before l
had finished one box, / could see
that they were helping me and
two boxes fixed me up in good
shape. l haven't felt the least

BAPTIST CHURCH WILL HOLD

Special Invitation Is Given For Meeting To

"a good step in the right direc

Rev. W. c. Wood this morning
when asked if the Baptist church
had not decided to hold a special
meeting Sunday morning, Sept. ~,
for the laboring men of the city.
The pastor declared that special eff
forts would be put forth to induce
every laboring man in Paragould,
who can possibly be away from
home Sunday morning, to attend
the services.
There is too wide a gap and too
much of a misunderstanding be-

it is a helpful sign to see the

ward our laboring people. The

WISE LITTLE COLT
SAVED ENTIRE HERD
Saw Danger in Wading
Deep Water, Nickered,
Attracted Attention of
Others-All Escaped.

Newport, Sept. 4.-Farmers of
Big Bottom, in independence coun-
ty, IA miles above this city, are
telling a remarkable story of how
a mule colt saved a large herd of
cattle and a bunch of horses dur
ing the recent overflow, The stock
were standing in water up to their
necks on what had been considered
high ground by their owner, but
when the water rose around them
all efforts to save them were flu
tile. Among the stock was a mule
colt with it's mother, the latter
starting a stampede of the go cat
tie and the two dozen horses. The
mother of the colt had led the en-
tire herd some distance into deep
water, when the nickering of the
colt attracted her attention and
she changed her course, saving the
entire herd.

CROPS ON GILES
ISLAND DAMAGED
Number of Tenants on Ber-
- tig's Farm Sustain Heavy
Losses From St. Francis
Overflow.
(From Fridays Daily Press)

Joe Bertig who spent yesterday
afternoon on Giles Island, the lower
portion of which is submerged with
backwater from the St. Francis riv-
er, stated this morning that at
least one hundred and fifty acres
of fine land with splendid crops of
corn and cotton are under water
from one to three feet deep and
that the tenants cultivating this
land as we'll as Bertig Brothers, the
owners, will have to stand heavy
loss because of the damage done by
the waters. Mr.. Bertig says the
st. Francis ditch and several other
bitches empty into the sluggish st.
Francis river near Giles Island and
on account of the fact that the riv-
er channel is shallow and full of
distractions there is no adequate
outlet for the big volue of water
poured into the river by the drain
age bitches. The river belongs to
the government and consequently
the main stream cannot be dredged
by private enterprise. So far the
government has declined to do any
work on the river, and the result
is the drainage systems in the east
ern portion of the county are in
complete and the money invested
in the bitches, while not wasted, is
not yielding the returns it ought
to bring. Mr.. Bertig says the
lowlands around Brighton, Bertig
and further down at Mitchell's
Point are flooded and much damage
is being done to the crops.
The tenants on the Bertig Giles
Island farm who will sustain losses
from the backwater are John Byrd,
S. T. Blackwell, J. c. Walker, Mrs,
Matte Barksdale, E. L. Brown, w.
w. Moore and w. r. Smith.

TENNESSEE SLAYER
APPREHENDED HERE
Sidney Robson, Wanted in
Upton County for Muir
der, Caught by Sheriff
AL GrOOms.

(From Tuesdays Daily PreSs.) }
Sunday night Sheriff Al Grooms
and his deputies went to the home
of Dave Dulaney or North Third
street, and caught a young man
named Sidney Robson, wanted in
Upton county, Tenn, on charge
of murder. Sheriff Grooms received
word several days ago from Sheriff
B. E. White giving him descrip-
ton of Robson and stating he
would probably head for Paragould
as he had an uncle here named Du-
laney. The officers instituted a
search for Robson and finally To-
Gated him at the Dulaney home and
arrested him. Sheriff White arriv-
ed in Paragould yesterday and took
his prisoner back to Tennessee. The
Commercial Appeal this morning
contains the following account Of
the killing charged to Robison:
Sidney Gibson, 20 years old, who
shot and killed young man named
Hines at Richardson Landing, on
the Mississippi river, in this county,
a month ago yesterday, was arrest
ed at Paragould, Ark, yesterday
and Sheriff B. E. White left for
Paragould this morning to bring
Robson to Covington, as he stated
that he would return without re-
QUESTION papers.
Sheriff White secured informa-
ton to the effect that Robson,
who was going under an assumed
name, was at the home of his uncle
in Paragould, and Sheriff White
telephoned the sheriff at Paragould
to arrest Robson and hold him.
"On the morning of Aug. 4 Hines
was standing on the bank of the
Mississippi river at the ferry land
ing at Richardson, when it is al
legged that Robson suddenly APP
peared and shot Hines with shot
gun in the back, instantly killing
him. The ferryman was the only
witness to the murder. Robson is
alleged to have stated when he fir
ed at Hines that he started out
to get man and he had gotten
him." This was the only state
ment made, as Robson is said tc
have slipped up behind Hines, who
never spoke a word to Robson be-
| fore he was shot. Robison's friends
claim that Hines was in the habit
of imposing upon Robson, who was
several years younger, and that he
had threatened to kill Robson
They claim that the night before
the killing Hines spent the night
at Left limbs, a few miles from
Richardson, and when he LEFT
limbs house he carried off Robi
sons pistol. Robson, who sat VI
that night with a sick neighbor
returned the next morning tt
limbs house, where he lived, ant
when he ascertained that Hime!
had taken his pistol he secured
shotgun and started in pursuit O
Hines and overlook him at Richard
sons Landing, where the murder
occurred"
