DECIDED THAT her
. DAUGHTER Was DEAD

A lady who lives near Jonesboro
Ark, is responsible for this story which
has been verified by Nash Brothers
Drug Co., Of that city. She says her
daughter about fourteen years Of age,
Who had a very bad cold, awakened
one night with symptoms Of pneumon'
ia.
Being several miles from doctor
the family had to use what medicine
happened to be in the house. Moth
ing was found but bottle Of Nash's
Group and Pneumonia Salve. A large
flannel cloth was saturated with 1t
and applied to the suffering girls back
and chest.
The mother lay down, not expecting
to sleep; the child's breathing was
loud and hoarse. In some manner the
mother fell alseep; when she awaken
ed she could not hear the child breath
ing at all.
Hurrying to the bedside she though
at first her daughter was dead, but
it was only peaceful sleep from which
she awakened with no symptoms of
pneumonia.
Nash's Group and Pneumonia Salve
is a wonderful remedy for influenza
and colds. 1t gives almost instant
relief. Leading druggists sell it in
30 cent and 60 cent bottles. Sold by

ARCADIA HIGH SCHOOL. NOTES
By Miss! Key.

Monday morning was the beginning
Of the work for the second term OF the
session for 192O-21. The mid-term ex-
aminations were finished last week.
The results for the entire school are
indeed quite satisfactory. This is mos,
gratifying as the new work is taken
up with a renewed vigor and a deter
mination to improve with the spring
term
There are some few changes in the
general management, which will bring
some most satisfactory results. There
is not anything to prevent the second
term from being the best in the hts
tory of this school. The entire faculty
have but one purpose at heart and
that is to work for the success Of our
school. Mr.. Wagner in his talk at
chapel exercise on Monday morning
gave to the faculty and the school 4
new spirit to do more and do better
work. We hope that there is as strong
a united spirit on the part Of the town
and the patrons Of the school as there
is among the students, Mr.. Wagner
and his teachers for the betterment
and strengthening Of school spirit in
Arcadia for Arcadia High School and
all that concerns it.
The number Of students keeps grow
ing although the house is too full to
do the best work and the teaching
force far too small. The capacity OF
the present building cannot accomo'
date the present daily attendance.
