GIVES PRAISE AS
1T is DESERVED
Gives Public Statement Regard
ing the Splendid Good He Got
By Taking Dreco, the New
Remedy.
Relieved His Back, pain in limbs,
Cattarrh of Stomach, and
Other Troubles, He Says.

'T am SIS years old and have lived
in Pensacola all my life. Everyone
knows that I've never been given to
praising anything or anybody, who
did not deserve it, and that is just
why am giving my praise to Dreco,
it thoroughly deserves every good
word that can be said about it, de-
clared Mr.. J. w. .Balkum, of 80 N. A
street. Mr.. Balkum has been with the
Warren Fish Co. for the past eleven
years, and is highly thought Of by
them.
"Some years ago had catarrh
very bad. and l think the drippings
got into my stomach, and caused it to
get inflamed, for I suffered very much
from pains in my abdomen, gas, bloat-
ing, and passing mucus. Even though
was very careful of my diet, I didn't
seem to get along very well, and I
believe I spent a thousand dollars on
different medicines.
"My work is pretty hard, and every
night I would suffer from severe
pains in my legs, and my back ached
almost constantly. The pellet I've got
ten by taking Dreco is remarkable.
This medicine seemed to go right to
the bottom of my troubles, and gave
me almost instant relief. The gas
stopped forming in my stomach, pains
left my back and limbs, appetite i'm
proved; sleep became restful, and my
stomach is in better condition than
it has been for years. I expect to
take a couple more bottles and be-
lieve that I will be entirely cured
then"
Dreco is now sold by all up-to-date
druggists throughout the country,
and is highly recommended in Pen
sacola by Balkcom Drug Co.-Adv.

PARDONS SEVER MAN
Negro Sentenced for Murder, Gets Full
 Pardon by Governor.

Little Rock, Dec. 18.-(SpeciaD = Governor Brough Monday morning is- sued full and unconditional pardon to Oliver Nunnely, a young negro con- victed of murder in the second degree, for killing of one Jeff Anderson, an- other negro, at the November, 1920, term of the Sevier county circuit court. The pardon was granted upon a very urgent letter from the Circuit Judge and by representative petition signed by the county officers of Little River and Sevier counties and the De- putty Prosecuting Attorney, who stated to the governor that it was plainly a case of unwritten law; that the negro had always borne good reputation and had never before been in any trou- ble of any kind and that he was hard working law-abiding negro who was beside himself over the fact that the negro he killed had taken his wife away from him and broken up his home "Under these circumstances said the governor, feel justified in issuing a full and unconditional par don."

TO LAY OFF EMPLOYEs
American Railways Express Company
 Says Business Is Decreasing.

Texarkana, Dec. 19.-As a result of conference held here Friday night between about 40 chiefs of division, agents and route agents of the Amer ican Railways Express Company, it was announced that several hundred employees of the company in this sec tion will be let out of employment between now and the first of the year. It was said that nine men em- ployed as wagon drivers at the rail- way depot will be laid off.
 The reason given for the cutting down of help is the falling off in busi- ness. At the Texarkana station alone there is said to have been a decrease of more than ,000 shipments this quarter as compared with the same ; ; quarter last year.
 Superintendent B. V, Long of the To- cal express office said the holiday business up to date does not compare with that of previous years by half and there is no expectation that the volume will show any great increase between now and Christmas.

Toll Rates.

"The toll rates that will be charged for passage over the bridge have been adopted by the board of commission CTS in conformity with the state act covering the collection of tolls, as fol- lows, the first figures being for one- way trip, the second for a round trip: {:
 Automobiles, 5cc and s +: trucks, tractors and other heavy motors, $1, and $2; wagons and buggies, 25c and soc; parties riding horses, 15c and 25c :; parties on foot, Sc and 10c; cattle hogs, sheep and mules not drawing vehicles, 5 and 10 cents.
 "The toll house will be placed at the
 osuth end of the bridge, and large scale will be posted, so that there will be no questions for argument. The question of the erection of toll house is as yet undecided, but it is thought that the idea of gate will be aband- oned and a chain used, as the contrac- tors state that the gate has been found very unsatisfactory on most bridges, too much trouble being required in opening and closing it.
 '"The contract for the construction of the bridge at Index was made in 1916, and all of the materials were bought at that time, so the cost of the bridge was at least 30 per cent lower than the prices of today. The original contract price of the bridge was about $300,000, but the cost has reached about $420,- 900.
 "The Midland Bridge Construction Company, of Kansas City, were award ed the contract, but before the work was completed, they went into bank ruptcy. The bonding company in Kan sis City then took charge of the work. and has completed the bridge. The board of commissioners state that they consider themseldves very fortunate in contracting for the bridge when they did as the bridge at present prices would cost at least $600,000."

WANT BONDED WAREHOUSE
Hampstead County Farmers Want a
 Bonded Warehouse.

Hope, Dec. 18.-Members of the, Farm Bureau in the Hope district, which embraces 15 counties are com sidering the advisability of organizing a corporation under the Arkansas warehouse law to operate a large bonded warehouse, storage houses and stock yards to aid in the marketing of cotton and other farm products, and all kinds of live stocks. The plan calls for capital stock of $15,000 to be invested in accepted securities on which bonds will be issued for double the amount to provide funds for the construction of the plant. The plan may include compress in connection with the warehouse. Members of the bureau also desire to provide means for disposing of all kinds of live stock. It is proposed to have an all- year market for cattle, mules, horses, sheep, goats, hogs, turkeys, chickens, and eggs. The idea of such a corpora tion originated with the farmersi themselves. and is being thoroughly discussed at their meetings. Sixty per cent of the cotton grown in this sec- tion is being held by the farmers, but not having a bonded warehouse they are considerably handicapped in in- ancing their plans to carry the cotton over into the spring months. An in- crease in price of $1 bushel on sweet potatoes that had been stored and pro- perly cured served as an object lesson to the farmers. Potatoes that -weral selling at 60 cents bushel at digging time are now bringing $16O bushel out of the curing plant.
