Ed U. Sharp,' of Leon, clerk of one
of the congressional committees at the
National Uapital, has been here the
past week visiting his parents and shak

friends. Life at the capital evidently
agrees with Ed, even if the work is
very confining and exacting, and it al
so gives him a good chance to rub up

J. W. Rakestraw found a relic, re
cently, while plowing in afield on the
place he has rented, three miles south
west of Ridgeway, that is quite a cur
iosity. It is a piece of French money
aboutlhe size of an American dollar—i
five franc piece. It is dated 1831. How
it happened to be there no one knows,
A couple of years ago another pari
found a Mexiean dollar in the same fieli
It is presumed that the money was lost
there years «go before the country was
settled. It is anew piece ol land which
was cleared but a few years ago. Again
someone may unearth a fortune there in
the future.—Ridgeway Journal.
Last Friday afternoon a half a doeen
Mt. Ayr young hopefuls gave a circus,
preceding the performance with a gor
geous parade over the principal streets
of the city. The admission fee charged
was one cent and the show was atten^
by a large number of juveniles. During
the performance of a difficult and dan'
erou8 act, (persumably, swinging head
lownward in a flying trapeze or a re
yolving ladder act,) Fred Howard,
year old son of Joseph Howard, fell and
Droke his left collar bone. The Bhow
ended abruptly and the best foot racer
started for town for a surgeon to reduce
the fracture. The boys scattered in
such a hurry that they, forgot to demand
the return of the money. At last ac
counts the injured actor was doing very
well, but the unfortunate accident has
broken up the circuB.—Mt. Ayr Record

Friendships which abide through
storm and sunshine, and grow stronger
as the yean increase, are to be prized
above everything else. Hence it is that
Dr. Horner is justly proud of a beauti
ful evidence of this kind of friendship
he has just received. In the early days
of Davis City the Doctor was intimately
and pieasurably associated with Messrs.
Bayard T., Julius 0., and Eugene
Haiuer. As the years rolled by, and
the battle of life went on, one of these
brothers was located at his post of duty
in Nebraska, another in Oklahoma, and
the third in the great city of ,8fr Louis,
Being together recently, antf' learning
•f the doctor's contemplated ifemoval to
Lamoni, they have united in presenting
him with a beautiful masonic badge:
and the letter which acoompi
gift is a gem of English compoi
bteathes a spirit of friendship well
culated to lighten the burdens of life
and Bweeten and brighten the journey
ail must travel from the cradle to the
grave. The Doctor has reason to feel
gratified and proud.—Lamoni Patriot.

WILL TRY FOR MILLIONS.
Ringgold County Heirs Will Con
test
for a Foreign
Estate.
Descendants in Ringgold county of an
English nobleman are preparing to con
test their claim as heirs to a vast estate
in England, worth presumablyf150,000,
000. Should they prove successful in
establishing their claim, the amount of
good British gold that will be trans
ferred to Ringgold county citizens will
not be less than a ship load and the for
tunate ones riding in automobiles, build
ing $50,000 bouses, and living in dead
swell English style, doncher know, are
among the possibilities.
The story differs from the many fairy
tales
of estates in foreign countries and
has some foundation in facts. Sir Wil
liam Thompson, lord mayor of London,
and possessed of unlimited wealth, died
leaving his fortune to his son, Sir Wil
liam Thompson the second. The son,
unlike the nobility of the present day,
had conscientious scrupfes against the
possession of such wealth and came to
America before the revolution, casting
his lot with the Americans. He re
nounced his title and left his property
interests in trust. Before he died he
made known to his children the exist
ence of his fortune, and fifty years ago
an attempt was made to secure' posses
sion of it. An agent was sent to Eng
land to investigate, but soon returned
with considerable money and the report
that nothing could be*done. His em
ployers concluded that he Was bribed
by those in possession of the property
to relinquish the search and make a
false report to the heirs. Since then,
nothing has been done except in a gen
eral way, as no firm of attorneys could
be employed to prosecute the search
without a big retainer. The Investors
Secdrity company of Boston, a responsi
ble firm, now ofiers to take up the case
for one half of the amount received. It
is probable that all the heirs in America,
ana there are a good many of them,
will agree to the employment of the firm
and satisfy themselves as to the statue
of their claims. The property consists
ot valuable real estate in London, and
the ownership can be easily proven, but
in case the title has reverted to the
British government, a long legal battle
and the courts will be necessary to se
cure a settlement.
A grand daughter of Sir William
Thompson, the second, married a Mr,
Lesan. She was a grand mother of
A. Lesan, J. P. Lesan, J. E. Lesan, Geo
W. Lesan, Geo. M. Lesan, D. M. Lesan,
Mr8. S. P. Lesan, Mrs. M. M. Lesan
and Mrs. Wm. Clark. Other heirs are
the children of J. A. Lesan, deceased,
heirs of Beulah Jackson, deceased.—Mt.
Ayr Record.
IS IT RIGHT
For an Editor Ito Recommend Pat
ent Medicines?
From Sylvan Valley News. Brevard,
N. Q,
It may be a question whether the ed
itor of a newspaper has the right to pub
licly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market,yet as a preventative of suffering
we feel it a duty to say a good word for
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Di
arrhoea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family for
twenty years and have always found
it reliable. In many cases a dose of
this remedy would save hours of suffer
ing while a physician is awaited. We
do not believe ini depending itnplicity
on any medicine for a cure, but we do
believe thatif a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand
and administered at the inception of
an attack much suffering might be
avoided and in many cases the presence
of a physician would not be required.
At least this has been our experience
during the last twenty years. For sale
