A Scrap of Paper Saves Men Life.
It was just an ordinary scrap of wrapping t
paper , but it saved her life. She was in the a
last stages of consumption , told by physicians p
that she was incurable and could live but a 1 ]
short time ; she weighed less than seventy
pounds. On a piece of wrapping paper she
read of Dr. King's New Discovery , and got a "
sample bottle ; it helped her , she bought a 1
large bottle , it helped her more , bought ane
other and grew better fast , continued its use C
asd is now strong , healthy , rosy , plump , weighg
ing40 pounds. For fuller particulars send
stamp to W. H. Cole , Druggist , Fort Smith.

Veterans of the Civil War. j
As a part of tho census of the people to bo "
taken during the month of June special pro- ti
vision has been made by Congress for ascerci
taining the names of suryiving soldiers , sail
ors and marines who were mustered into the
service of the United States during the war j
Df the rebellion , and of the widows of soldiers rl
sailors and marines who have died. In conw
nection with this special census of veterans w ,
the organization or vessel in which they serv1 < <
2d , tho term of service in each case , arfd presJ. .
nt place of residence will be taken by thov
enumerators. In the case of widows , iuforma-
ion regarding tho service of their deceased
lusbands is also required. "
Tho importance of accurato statements conei
jerning the military record of each particiB
lant in tho lato war should not bo underestih :
nated. It should be tho duty , moreover , of ar
rvery veteran soldier or sailor to see that the
mumerator is placed in possession of the neeq
iSsary information concerning his own ser < .
.c )
rice. If he can not be at home when the
pi
numerator calls he should leave a proper ,
nemorandum in the hands of his wife or other
nember of his household , so that the work of =
he census may not be delayed , and also that
here may be no doubt as to the accuracy of
he statements concerning his service which ,
nay bo given to the census enumerators , . . .
;
hat there may be no question as to the
ioints to be covered by this memorandum , it -
nay be well to state that the special inquiries ro
0 be made concerning veterans of tho civil wi
rar include the name , the company , and the
egiment or vessel in which they served , their
ito rank , the dates of enlistment and dis-
harge , the length of service in years' months
nd days , and their present post-office address.
Inhere a soldier or sailor re-enlisted or served
more than one organization or vessel , he WJ
bould be very careful to give the term of
su
srvice in each instance , and to cover each
nlistment. In giving the organization care '
liould bo taken to distinguish the arm of the
3rvice , as infantry , cavalry , artillery , etc. ,
ndif a person served under an nssumed
ame , his statement should be made to cover
oth the name under which he served and the
ue name by which he is now known. J
Veterans of the war generally will recognize
nd appreciate tho value of this special cen-
is to them , and they should aid the cenBus
numerators in getting true statements in 1
rery way possible. Without their co-opera-
on correctresults can not be reached. This J
srsonal appeal is made to them , therefore , in
te hope that their attention may bo specially
irected to tho importance of this work and
te necessary information may be promptly
ipplled to the census enumerator when he
ills some time during the month of June. tie
