The Little River news. (Ashdown, Little River County, Ark.) 1897-current, 1917-08-29

There are some good-intentionai
citizens who have contendcd for 1t
more liberal handling of the vice
question on account of the quartef-
ing Of great army just outside the
city limits. They have even contend
ed that the segregated district should
be re-opened under police regulation.
But such a policy, bitterly opposed by
the present city administration. is as
strongly condemned by the govern
ment itself. The suppression of the
social evil in cities adjacent to can
torment camps is one of the big
problems the War Department has -
contend with. A personal representa-
tive of the Secretary of War, wit
police power, has been assigned to
Little Rock, and is cooperating wiz.
the police in the suppression Of vice,
Gov Brough has also appointed a
State Commission. of which A. P. Pee
of Little Rock is chairman, to wo,ii
with him. Suppression and not res
ulation' is the motto that has bee
adopted by the government, and city
councils wherever environments arc
located are being asked to pass
stringent laws that will curb the
evil as much as possible.

that some of our people got hold OF

My reason for saying that the bri'
gade was paid off was the making out
of the payroll. Some time after
wards, (several years,) the ole
church was torn down. My brother
in-law, Sampel Evans and / were
walking along the site of the church
and he picked up a five dollar gold
piece and then we began to search
for more of the gold but no more
was found.

WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply a Few Drops Then Lift Corns
or Calluses of With Fingers-
No Pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without
a particle Of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
a compound of ether discovered by
a Cincinnati man. .... .......
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost
but a trife, but is sufficient to rid
ones feet Of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callus will loosen
and can be lifted of with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluses but shrivels
them without even irritating the
surrounding skin.
Just think! No pain, at all; no
soreness or smarting when applying
it or afterwards. If your druggist
don't have freezone have him order
| it for you.-Adv. -

LADIES! SECRET TO
DARKEN GRAY HAIR
Bring Back Its Color and Lustre
With Grandma's Sage Tea
Recipe.

Common garden sage brewed into
6 heavy tea, with sulphur and alco-
hol added, will turn gray, streaked
and faded hair beautifully dark and
luxuriant. Mixing the Sage Tea
and Sulphur recipe at home, though,
is troublesome. An easier way is to
get the ready-to-use preparation i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, costing about so cents q
large bottle, at drug stores, known
as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" thus avoiding lot Of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sin
full, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, no one can tell, because it
does it so naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning all gray hairs have
disappeared. After another appli-
cation or two your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and
luxuriant and you. appear years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet re-
quisite. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease.-Adv.

before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial
fiddle, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre-
vent its sponge-like pores from clog
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says
noted physician. 49,. -.
If you get headaches, it's your
liver. If you catch cold easily, it's
your liver. If you wake up with q
bad taste, furred tongue, nasty
breath or stomach becomes rancid,
Il it's your liver. Sallow skin, muddy
complexion, watery eyes all denote
liver uncleanliness. Your liver is
the most important, also the most
abused and neglected organ Of the
body. Few know its function or how
to release the dammed-up body waste
bile and toxins. Most folks resort
to violent calomel, which is q danger
Gus, salivating chemical which can
only be used occasionally because it
accumulates in the tissues, also at
tacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick OF
well, should drink each morning be-
fore breakfast, a glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone phos-
phate in it, to wash from the liver
and bowels the previous days indi-
|gestible material, the poisons, sour
bile and toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and freshening the en-
tire alimentary canal before putting
more food into the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re-
strict the diet like calomel, because
it can not salivate, for it is harmless
and you can eat anything after
wards. 1t is inexpensive and almost
tasteless, and any pharmacist will
sell you a quarter pound, which is
sufficient for demonstration of how
hot water and limestone phosphate
cleans, stimulates and ffreshens the
liver, keeping your feeling fit, day
in and day, out.-Adv.

LAST DAYS OF
THE coNFEDERACY
Interesting Letter From the Pen OF
Hon. James S. Gilbert.

Mr.. Editor:
Noticing a communication in your
paper in regard to the night Presi-
dent Davis spent in Abbeville, and
the holding of the last cabinet meet
ing there brings up an incident that
occurred in our home five miles from
the city. There are very few per-
sons living who have any knowledge
of this incident, and thinking that it
would interest your readers, I will
relate it.
I had just gotten back from Apo
matix, had been at home about a
week on the night Of Mr.. Davis
stay in Abbeville. On that night his
wagon train camped in the grove
where Lebanon church stood guard
ed by brigade of troops. have
forgotten who was in command. The
wagons were drawn up around the
church. General Bragg, who was
along, and his wife that night occu-
pied a room in my fathers house.
The paymaster Of the brigade made
out the pay roll for the brigade in
my fathers dining room and it took
him until about two o'clock in the
morning to finish this work, He had
no light to work by except a tallow
candle made at home by my mother,
as that was the only light in common
use during the war.
There was no rest for our family
that night for nearly all the rooms
were occupied by the officers of the
different regiments. Some of our
neighbors entertained officers, among
them Mr.. Charles Evans and others
who lived near by. The wagons
were drawn up around the church
in a circle, the brigade guarding on
the outside, the wagons were, we
supposed, loaded with the riches and
other property of the government,
including the gold, and suppose
that there was more gold around
Lebanon church that night than has
ever been, or ever will be again, in
cluding the property Of all of its
members for one hundred years past.
By eight o'clock the next morning
the soldiers with the. wagon train,
were all gone towards Savannah
River, where after crossing they
