Former Editor of the Democrat,
Writes Entertainingly from
Ft, Smith of His Visit, After
Touching upon Affairs In
Baca County.
F.. Smith, Ark, l-25, '16.
Mr.. Editor:-
Complying with you r courte-
Gus request, l am writing for
the Herald. This may be sur
prising to some readers, in view
I OF the fact that circums stances
and conditions in times past have
caused the Herald to say some
uucomplimintary things about
me.
Permit me to say, however,
that | nave far more respect for
the paper, or individual, who
comes cut to tight In the broad,
noon-day light than for those
Who hold plotting counsels in Sc
crel places, hide in the dark ard
STAB an uususpecting victim in
the back!
1t will be remembered that
nearly two years ago in the
| frs issue of tile Democrat un-
der my management, | said: Il
have no friends to reward nor
enimies to punish . 1t may be
surmised that | have some of
both now.
With an apology for deviating
/ from the prime object of this
., communication, l will now write
about my visit and impressions,
as the editor suggested.
am now heartily enjoying
life in the society of my two
daughters Elgia and Grace, son
in-law DR.. Hamilton, and romp-
ing with that wonderful
specimen of perfect baby
hood-John K, my only grand
child, now seventeen months old.
Fort Smith is a beautiful city
surrounded by picturesque seen.

| Arkansas river extends on three
sides of the city. From where l
am writing | can look upon the
majestic stream flowing due
north. The river is now on a
rampage" The weather beau
ro says it has risen twenty-four
| feet in the past twenty-four
hours. It's average width around
Fit. Smith is now more thar a
mile.
A fraction of this city is now
in Oklahoma, the line in places
being on the east side of the riv.
er. High hills and bluffs, on
either side of the river, are dec
GRATED with oaks and evergreen.
There are numerous furniture
factories here, supplied with oak
and pine lumber made from
/ trees which grow within forty
miles OF the city.
! Arkansas, like Colorado, we mt
dry" the first of this year, and
business men say it has greatly
crippled this city; but they ex-
pect to find other industries that
, will more than supply the loss.
A few years ago the city had a
population of $1,000, but not
more than $4,000 is now claimed.
The city is noted for its fine bus
mess and dwelling houses, about
| lone-third of which are now vacant.
My mind is full of many inter-
esting features regarding Ft.
Smith, her people and surround
Iings; but it would be an imposi-
I ton on your valuable space to
dwell upon the marvels that have
interested me.

to Irwin. No sooner had this action
been taken than howl Of protest
went up among friends of DR.. w. H.

dorsement. A joint caucus was called
and when the committees expressed
favor, Buckle received seven votes and
Irwin but six.

Figures Which Shout

The newspaper is supreme as an
advertising medium in both its
fields-local and general.
There is approximately $500, 000,.
900 expendeded annually for news
paper advertising. OF this sum,
between $50,O00,O0O and $55,000,000
represents space purchased by gen.
eral advertisers.
This record is not approached by
any competing medium.
There are sound reasons for the
supremacy of the newspaper.
1t is the one medium that reaches
every consumer of everything, ev-
erywhere, every day. 1t offers
economy and exactness, and more
nearly eliminates waste than any
other medium.

Travelling Man
Receivers From
Serious Illness

In order for any one to obtain the
full measure of pleasure and success
from life it is necessary that he or
she should be possessed of health in
mind and body. 1t is certain that the
greatest thing in all the world is
health without it man can scarcely
do anything worth doing; he can &C
plish little that is really worth accom-
plishing. Attention to health then
should take the place of every other
object That which is necessary to
secure it should receive consideration
in preference to everything else. Vim
Hepatica, the new herbal system ton
ic, is bringing health to thousands and
is gaining big following here, where
grateful people are daily testifying to
is merits and recommending it to their
friends.
The following endorsement recently
received from Mr.. A j. Eyler travel
ing salesman, residing at 20 Sycamore
street, Dayton, speaks for itself He
says:
Il suffered from stomach trouble
for some weeks After eating l had
severe attacks of Indigestion, and felt
distressed. | tried numerous RENE
dies, but failed to get relief. got
bottle of Vim Hepatica, which had
been recommended to me by a friend,
and after taking few doses I noticed
big improvement in my condition.
My stomach pains gradually disap-
peared; | ceased to suffer from indi-
gestion, and began to feel like my
natural self. l continued taking Vim
Hepatica for several days, and am
now perfectly well and have had no
further trouble. I consider Vim He
patica splendid medicine, and highly
recommend it to any one suffering as
did"
The object of Vim Hepatica is to re-
lieve the stomach of it's burden, there
by giving it an opportunity to regain
it's normal strength. Vim Hepatica
tones up, strengthens and revitalizes
the entire system; restores the lost
power of digestion, acts on the liver
and kidneys and banishes rheumatism
from the blood.
Vim Hepatica is now being demon
strated at Glen Thistlethwaite's drug
store, 914 Main street, where a repre-
sentative will meet all callers and
courteously answer all inquiries
