BACK BAD TODAY

Backache is usually kidney-ache
and makes you dull. nervous and
tired. Use Doan's Kidney Pills for
weak kidneys-the remedy recon-
mended by your friends and neigh
bors.
Mrs. f. A. Ellis, 427 W. Love St.,
Mexico, SAYS: MY experience with
Doan's Kidney Pills has taught me
that is is a fine remedy. I have had
a good deal of trouble with backaches.
Sometimes my back would pain and
ache so | could scarcely keep about
and it was all | could do to drag
around. | also have had a good deal
of rheumatism pains in my joints
and muscles. | have never found a
better remedy than Doan's Kidney
Pills for this trouble. A box or 50
now and then have always rid me of
such complaints and kept my kidneys
in good shape"
Price 6Oc, at all dealers. Don't
ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills--the same that

M. CAMPBELL FOR REPRE-.
 SENTATIVE.

The Log Cabin Demodrat today presents the formal announcement of Isaac NJ. Campbell of Conway as a candidate for second term as represen- tative of Faulkner county in the gen. eral assembly. Mir. Campbell repre- sented this county at the regular ses- sion and three special sessions of the legislature of 1919, and made re- cord of which he may we'll be proud. He was the author of some and as- sisted in the passage of all the good roads bills passed for the benefit of this county. and when the high ways that will eventually be con- structed under these acts are con- pleted they will stand as a monument to Mr. Campbell and to Senator George F. Hartje. who is equally en- titled to credit for the passage of the measures Mir Campbell also strongly supported the bills for the benefit of the State Normal School located here. On general measures considered by the legislature his posi- tion was usually sound and always conscientious, and he ranked as one of the leading members of the lower house.

HUGH STEINER FOR SURVEYOR

Frank Stermer served as surveyor of Faulkner county for many years and would have been elected for life if he had consented to retain the posi- tion. He knows every foot of ground in. the county like book. He has a son, Hugh D. Stermer, who ever since he has been large enough to follow his father, has been assisting him in his surveying and engineering work and has now become almost as efficient as the father himself. Hugh has authorized the Log Cabin Democrat to announce his candidacy for surveyor. He will be p years of age next fall and is fully competent to fill the position. He served two years in the United States navy, vol unteering at the outbreak of the war when only IS years old. It is probable that he will have no opposition for the nomination.

HELP THE MAYOR KEEP
 DOWN MOSQUITO CROP

Citizens of Conway are requested by Mayor w. D. Cole to make a thorough inspection of their premises following the recent rains and see that no barrels, cans, bottles or other receptacles contain water in which mosquitoes might breed. In this connection the mayor calls at tention to the fact that the anopheles or malaria-bearing mosquito breeds almost exclusively in cans, rain bar rels or other containers, usually or residence premises, and whatever sue cess the municipal authorities may have in exterminating the mosquitoes elsewhere their efforts would be ot little value if the citizens persist 1T breeding the most dangerous species of the insects on their own premises

FIND MESSAGE LONG
 AFTER MOTHER DIED
Mrs. Mary Teague Left Letter to Her Children in Her Family
 Bible.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 The children of Mrs. Mary Teagu
 desire the publication of the follow ing message, which was written b,
 her several years before her deatl and left in the family Bible, whicl
 Bible had been presented to her b,
 her son, J. A. Teague on June 26 1905.
 Mrs. Teague has been dead more
 than four years, but this message was not found until recently when il was discovered by her daughter, Mrs Hattie Cummins.
 Mrs. Teague was born May ', 1863 She professed hope in Christ 1T ! early life and united with the Meth odist church, but about 30 years be- fore her death she united with Sharon 1 Missionary Baptist church, of which church she remained faithful mem- Der until her death in January 1916 Her oldest daughter, Mrs. Etta Haney, professed hope in Christ in early life; died and went on to the glory world about six years before her mother. All of the other chill dren are professors of religion now. Though Mrs. Teague be dead her works follow her.
 Her message is as follows: Matte, Etta, James, also Harvey, Lee, and Leonard, and the rest of you: My dear loving children, as I have been lying here on the bed medi- tating and suffering alone-and I am not alone for the Spirit of God has been with me, has been feeding my soul-I have been rejoicing down deep in my heart Still at the same time l am grieved in heart when 1 think of you children all out in the mleak mountains of sin, drifting down the road to woe and misery. Oh, that my joy might be your joy too, and my God your God! Oh, children, will you all give God your heart, for it is dangerous to travel in that broad way? So turn away from sin and turn unto Christ and shake off the shackles of sin and go on your way rejoicing. I am impressed while I was lying here on the bed with a fever, the Lord comforted me with the Holy Spirit-God prompts me to write these few lines and I hope that you all will receive them with prayer ful heart, and do not let them slip.
 From Mary Teague, a mother, to the children. You all think of what tell you.'
