FROM OLD ARKANSAS. Buffalo Creek. Ark., Jan. 6. 1904. Friend John: I will drop you few lines, the first 1 have written to any one. Jam well and hope yon are in the same boat. Well John, Pery, Yager er and Porter are still with me. they are talking of coining home soon, then I will be alone. I guess 3 can get along all me same, the wolves are good company, so I am all right. We have been about all over the s.uce we came down and now we are back to our old hunting grounds again. We haven t had the best of luck, only kiileo two deer so we have plenty to eat. We do not hunt very hard you know when we have a deer in eamp, just eat until it is gone, then mosey out and get some more. Porter and Perry saw four deer this forenoon, so they went back to try and get one. You see our meat is running out and rabbits and squirrels are plenty enough but they are not rich enough for our blood, you see we want deer as it lasts longer. We have lots of fun you bet I wish you were here so you could get scratched with the briars, thet are as thick as the hair on a dog? back. My hands would make a » good meal since they are so prickeu up with them. It would make a preacher swear to go through the.st briar patches, grape vines ano ail kinds of other trimmed with them and I tell you it is a job t<_ go through them. I do noi know how long I will stay but I think I will stay here until the first oi March, ft is a nice place to winter here and it has not froze a daj since we have been here and ha? not snowed at all, it has beet warm all the time but we have frosty nights. When you get this tell the boys lam all hunky dory and write and tell me how the primary goes. I remain you friend. Peter Frank. OLD FOLKS TFSTIFY. VIROL WO3TH 11000 TO A. J. BIKIB. Ths Aged. a:d all Sobs and Daughters 01 Aged Pecple in Decatar Sluuld be Interested. Mr. A. J. Baker, of 713 Locus street Evansville. Ind., writes: "I believt there is no other medicine equal t< Vinol for elderly people. I would not ; take SIOOO for the good it has done ms. It makes strength for the age as no other medicine seems to do. and ; invigorates the whole system. Vino i was first recommended to me for t | bad cough, which I could not seem t< get rid of. Vinol not only cured mt eottgh. but it made me strong anc well, and I enthusiastically indorse Vinol.” Smith, Yager <fc Falk, our well known druggists, w hen interviewed ii regard to this matter, said: “We have never sold in our store such a wonderful vitalizer and strength mak er for the age as Vinol; it is nature’? remedy for the sick, the weak and the aged. “Vinol owes it virtue and great medicinal power to the fact that it contains in a highly concentrated forn all the active curative properties of cod liver oil, without a drop of the nause

ating grease which characterizes old fashioned cod liver < il and emulsions. "Vino! acts first upon the stomach, I toning it up. and enabling it to obtian from the eaten the elements needed for rich, red blood, healthy body ma-' terial and found, steady nerves. In this way st repairs worn tissues, checks the natural decline of the age and never fails to replace weakness with strength. 'ln the strongest manner we unhesitatingly indorse and guarantee Vinci to increase the appetite, cure ■stomach troubles, give strength and renewed vitality to the aged, build up the run down, tired and debilitated,'' make the weak string, cure chronic 1 coughs, colds and build up the eon < valescent, or*we will return to the . purchaser everv dollar paid for it.’’ Smith. Vager Jfc Falk, Druggists. This seemed a strong statement for 1 reliable druggists to make, and we thi.uk every person in Decatur ought to take advantage of their offer, as, of ( eourse. they have a very wide knowledge of medicines, and what they will 1 or will net accomplish.

The infant ot Mr. and Mrs. O. N. Snellen was burried at two o'clock Thursdav at St. Joseph ceme j tery after appropriate services at the St. Marys Catholic church. Erwin & Erwin are in the market with a number of customers for town property and farms, anyone having such property for sale should see them and have your I property listed during the months ■ of January and February as a great ; amount of real estate will change i hands these months, no charge for ! listing. R. K. Allison, B W. Sholty and others have received samples of Charles Carpenter s new patent 'nel. The samples look like chocolate candy and burns like hard coal. It can be manufactured for i 41.50 per ton and is expected to solve 'he question of fuel. The company I have a factory as South Bend and I expect to do an enormous business. A Very Close Cail. “I stuck to my engine, although every joint ached Tud every nerve was racked with pain,'' ' vrites C. W. Bellamy, a locomotive fireman, of Burlington, fowa. '“I was weak and pale, without any appetite ind all run down. As I was about to give up I got a bottle of Electric Bitters, and after taking it. I felt as well is 1 ever did in my life.” Weak, -ickly, run down people always gain iew life, strength and vigor from their ise. Trvthem. Satisfaction guaran eed by Blackburn A Christen.

It will doubtless fall to the lot of Warden Herschey to inflict the leath penalty more times than was the case with any one of his predecessors. Twelve men are now under sentence of death, and unless some of these secure mitigation of 'heir sentences, which is unlikely, -til will go to the chair. Warden Darby officiated at three executions and then lost his nerve. The largest number of executions by any one warden was by C. C. James, who was warden under Me Kinley, from 1892 to 1896. He ex■cuted 12. The plant of the Manufacturing Company resumed operations in full Tuesday morning after a period >f idleness covering the time taken in moving the apparatus and machinery into the new quarters on Main street. The resumption of work followed a meeting of the stockholders, held Monday night, in which the capital stock of the company was increased from $15,000 to 125.000. All this extra! stock was taken up at once by mem-. bers of the company. An election was held which resulted as follows: President. J. C. Schug: secretary, A. A.
