DOCTORS PREFER CALOTABS FOR
 4 LAZY LIVER
Wonderful How Bright and Cheerful the World Looks After Taking the New Nausealess Calomel.

Have you tried the new nausealess calomel that makes calomel taking a pleasure? If you have, you appre- ciate the wonderful virtues of calo- mel when robbed of all it's unpleas- ant and nauseating effects.
 Calotabs is the sensation of the year in the drug trade. Pharmacists regard it as a perfect remedy for the liver. It's effect in biliousness, con- stipation and indigestion is most de- lightful.
 The next time your liver needs a thorough cleansing try Calotabs. One tablet at bedtime with a swallow of water, that's all. No taste, no nausea, no salts, no gripping. You wake up in the morning feeling fine, with your system thoroughly cleansed and a hearty appetite for breakfast. Eat what you please-no danger of saliva tion
 Calotabs are never sold in bulk; for your protection they are sold only in original, sealed packages, price thir- tv-five cents. Your druggist will gladly refund your money if you do not find them effective and delightful, Adv.

 Big Fork, Ark, April 21.-The large Methodist church at Black Springs, 2h miles west of Womble, was crowded with land owners Sat- urday when Chairman B. M Rowton introduced former Judge J. T. Cath am of Hot Springs.
 Judge Catham stated that he came as an attorney, at the solicitation of the leading citizens of Montgomery county to read and explain the new road law passed by the last General Assembly and that he was not inter- ested personally and stated that he had nothing to say against the road commissioners. "I am an advocate of good roads," he said, land 1 do not think there is man in the house but what is, but the question is whether or not you want to build roads under the provisions of this act" Judge Catham read copy of the act, which proved to be a very lengthy docu- ment He also had copy of the Alexander road law and pointed out the many differences in the two acts, The Montgomery county special act was not initiated by the people by pe- tition as prescribed by the Alexander law The powers of the county judge was curtailed and the law empowering him to appoint the commissioners was repealed and the act named the com missioners namely: ". k. Womble, P Cobb, H. W. Biggs, J. l. Strickland and J. B. Kelly, the present represen- tative of Montgomery county, who introduced the bill.
 The bill empowered them to make the assessments on the land, employ engineers and all employees and name their compensation. The assessment was thirty per cent of the valuation of which not exceeding 10 per cent was payable each year. The commis- sioners were to receive $5 per day for each days service, and in the event the road was not built the commits sioners were to receive pay for serv- ices rendered out of the general reve. nues of the county. The assessments could be extended beyond the three
