PINE BLUFF NEWS
This Case Has a Hint for Many
Graphic Readers.

A Pine Bluff woman has used Doans
Kidney Pills.
She has found them as represented.
She wishes her neighbors to know.
She publicly recommends them.
No need to look further for test
cd kidney remedy.
The proof Of merit is here and can
be investigated.
Profit by Mrs. Racop's statement.
Mrs. J. A. Racop, 1416 State ST.
Pine Bluff, says: "For years l suf-
fered from a heavy ache in the small
of my back. l could hardly get up
after sitting and l couldn't stoop over
or lift anything. l was always lame
and stiff in the morning and felt all
worn-out. My kidneys acted irresu.
larly, too. Before l had finished half
a box of Doan's Kidney Pills, | was
helped. After taking the whole box,
the pains left my back and my kidneys
were normal" :.

EASY TO DARkEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and Lustre
With Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell,
because it's done so naturally, SO ev-
emily. Preparing this mixture, though,
at home is .mussy and troublesome.
For so cents you can buy at any drug
store the ready-to-use preparation,
improved by the addition Of other in
gradients, called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You must damp
en- sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. By morn
ing all gray hair disappears, and, after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, through no dis
grace, is a sign of old age. and as we
all desire youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger. This ready
to-use preparation is delightful toll
ct requisite and not medicine. t. is
not intended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention Of disease.-Advt.

We'll BROTHERS
TOPAY $4,000
FOR PLANTATION
Purchase from Jones & Gage
Noble Lake Place Bought
in 1906 for $4,000.

A deal will be closed today Or to-
morrow, whereby Jones, Gage & COM
pany of Memphis, Tenn, will sell to
the We'll Brothers Planting company
the big Noble Lake plantation, twelve
miles from the city, on the Noble
Lake pike, for $4,000.
The deal has been pending for some
time past, and for the past few days
has been virtually completed, al
though the transfer of the papers has
not yet been made. This is expected
to be done today Or tomorrow, and the
new owners will take charge within
the month.
The We'll Brothers Planting COM
pany is an organization now being
formed, with Ben B. We'll, Dave H.
We'll and H. H. We'll as the members.
Details of the organization have not
yet been decided.
The Noble Lake plantation contains
2,044 acres of land, Of which 1900
acres are in cultivation. The property
is one of the best known in this sec
ton of the state, being better known
as the old Franklin property, and the
big residence on the place has been
the scene of many social events in
days past. 1t was purchased by Jones,
Gage & company in 1906 for price
said to approximate $4,000, and the
difference in the value of the property
now and ten years ago, is considered
a clear demonstration Of the increase
in land values in jefferson county.
The transfer of the realty carries
with it all the permanent improve
ments, these including the residence,
the cotton gin, the store and about
sixty tenant houses, with necessary
outbuildings and barns. A separate
deal is being considered, concerning
the transfer Of livestock, farm imple-
ments and other such matters.
With the purchase of the Noble Lake
property, the descendants of the late
Charles We'll, as individuals and as an
"estate" combined, now own some
thing more than 1000 cultivated acres
of land in this section, with consider
able holdings of land not yet in cul-
tivation. Some of the lands are Gull
tivated on the share basis, some as
tenant lands and others outright, and
the greater portion is devoted to the
gorwth of cotton. The Noble Lake
plantation is said to be peculiarly
valuable cotton land, which has re-
turned big profits to former owners,
and it will be continued in cotton by
the new owners, it was said yester-
daV.

DUN'S REVIEW

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Dun's Re- view tomorrow will say:
 Results during 1916 surpassed tho most sanguine expectations. evidence of the unexampled business being found in every statement that ap- pears It has been a period of unpre- cedented achievements in finance. trade and industry.
 The maintenance of consumption demands in record volume, notwith. standing the highest prices of mod ern times, was the outstanding fea- ture. The year closes. however, with rather general abatement of purchas- ing. and with the question of future readjustments entering more largely into calculations. Yet certain nesi- tancy and slowing down is natural at this season, in view of the inter- ruption caused by inventorying and annual settlements, and the fact that Tn most cases requirements were cov- cred Tar ahead on the previous exten- slVe buying movement. Producers stlll are less concerned about securing additional contracts than in making deliveries on old orders, and the diff uculties of reducing the great amount or business are intensified by the transportation breakdown, which has been aggravated by storms in some sections.

Tempe News Notes
TEMPE BOOSTERS
 HOUSING MEETING

With nearly one hundred leading citizens of the community in attend ance at the first meeting and more tran one hundred and sixty three signed up for membership, the Tempe Community club was put under way at meeting in the high school auditori- um Thursday evening. Enthusiasm was rife and everyone present mani tested the spirit of progressiveness that promises the organization of a good live boosters club for this city.
 The adoption of the bylaws as re- commended by the committee previ- Ously appointed to draft set suitable for the Tempe club occupied a greater share of the evenings time. The club has as its purpose a general upbuild- ing of this community and the mem bership was divided into three classes, institutional, professional and individ- ual. A graduated scale of monthly dues has been levied on the three classes, and an effort will be made to include every business institution and every individual citizen on the member ship roll.
 Since the bylaws provide for the annual meeting to be held during the forepart of January, the election of the clubs officers was postponed until the next session on January 4. To vote on these officers then it will be necessary for one to have paid the admission fee and the first quarters dues.
 Remarkable results were obtained by the several membership committees at work and rather than put a damper on their good work they were contin- ued until the next meeting and au thorized by the chair to continue their canvass for new members in the mean time.
 The spirit with which business men, farmers. and citizens of the town have entered into the new club has given it 0 splendid start The hundred pres ent Thursday night, were all enthu- siastic and it is expected that all of these men together with many addi- tional new members, will attend to perfect the organization next Thursday evening.

MARKET NEWS By R. Allyn Lewis,

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-It is a pretty well soldout market. You have got to have something new to bring further liquidation. When you look over the list you will realize that stocks have had a big decline and brokers loans have been reduced and earnings are at the top notch so far. There are plenty of clouds in the sky-there always are.
 The foreign situation is very uncer- tain--that is the reason the market is down from IS to 100 points
 The right kind of people have been picking up good stocks. Gold imports are enormous. If they continue as they are 1t will be hard to prevent another imitation.
 Everybody sells short now that was long at top.
 Texas Oil went up today just to show that stocks can advance.
 We think that those that are selling short now after a panic had better be very careful and know what they are selling. The time for crops is coming along and at the price commodities are selling it looks like there will be 6 big acreage planted.
 Clark Childs & Co.,: We should not overlook altogether the chance of cre-
