Two Description,
A Florida editor, describing a
tragedy in that state, says:
"Like an assassin in the dark, with
stealthy, silent tread, tiptoeing, he
approached the bedside where beau
ty slept in sweet innocence. Poising
himself above the silent, peaceful
form, he grinned in devilish glee
then, closing his eyes and gritting
his teeth, the keen bladed knife was
thrust into the warm, kind breast.
Not a word was uttered. He went
as he had come—silently, stealthily.
The deed was clone."
Compare the above agony with
the brief, breezy description of a
Georgia editor, writing on a similar
subject
"Like a snake lie crope through
the window, set bis foot on the floor,
stood over tho bed wliero Unole Bil
ly was a-lyin, reached for his pants
and took out $16—all the money
Uncle Billy had in the world—then
croped back to the window, swung
himself out and slid right into the
arms of the high sheriff of the coun
ty. "—Atlanta Constitution.
And Yet Ho Sled.
A wanderer from the Flowery
Kingdom recently died in Mel
bourne. It transpired at the inquest
that he had been treated by a Chi
nese physician who gave him pills
each the size of a duck's egg. There
were said to be 40 different ingredi
ents in tho medicine, including
blood, grasshoppers, ashes, bone
dust, clay, dates, honey, sawdust
and ground up insects.

thought.

Health and Strength Restored-
How It was Accomplished.
I have been troubled very much with
indigestion and constipation for the last
ten years. Five years ago I was confined
to my bed and suffered severe pains in my
stomach. These spells would occur four
or five times a day and were almost unen
durable. I was weak and nervous and
could not eat anything but the simplest
food. I read about so many wonderful
cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla that I deter
mined to try it. The first bottle ol
Hood's Sarsaparilla and Hood's Pills were
enough to convince me that I had at last
found the right kind of medicines. I con
tinued taking them until I was well. Last
spring after my baby was born I did not
regain my strength. I resorted to Hood's
Sarsaparilla and Hood's Fills and they
restored me to health." MBS. LOUISA

London Barber Shops.
Visitors to London from America
are always complaining that there
are no up to date barber shops. In
comparison our shops are kingly
This is partially explained by the
fact that most Englishmen who de
sire shaving, hair cutting and sham
pooing keep valets, who are to b«
had for a very small sum. Still
there are thousands of gentlemen in
London who cannot afford a per
Bonal attendant and would appreci
ate a well kept barber shop. As fox
wealthy Americans, even those who
keep valets, they sometimes like tc
enter a barber shop, but when in
London they cannot do this unlesi
they patronize certain of the new
hotels which have been compelled
solely because of the insistence ol
American travelers, to put in up tc
date barber shops.—San Francisco

HOW TO FIND OUT
Fill a bottle or common glass with I
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours
and if there is a sediment or settling it
indicates an unhealthy condition of the
kidneys. When urine stains linen it is
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre
quent desire to urinate, or pains in the I
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order
WHAT TO 1»0
There is comfort in the knowledge so I
often expressed that Doctor Kilmer's
Swamp Koot, the great kidney remedy
fulfils every wish in relieving pain in
the baek, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passage. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain iii passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri
nate. The mild and extraordinary
efi'ects of Swamp-Hoot is soon realized.
11 stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need any medicine you should
have the best! Sold bydruggists, price
iifty cents and one dollar per bottle
a a a am a
pamphlet botli sent free by mail,
upon receipt of three two-cent stamps
to cover cost of postage on the bottle.

and send your address to Dr. Kilmer &
Co., Biughanipton, N. Y. The propri
etor of this paper guarantees the genu
I ineness of this oiler.
Among' the C3'press lumber Hart
& Eddy shipped from the-south was
a board perforated by a minme
ball. Such incidents as tins bring
to mind the terrible struggle be
tween the North and South thirty
five years ago, when that shot was
fired.
Monday evening- at a meeting- of
the school board, Ollie Coon quali
fied as treasurer and W. H. O'Con
nell as director. The new board is
as follows: John Nash, president
Ollie Coon, treasurer Thos. Walker,
secretary A.L.Brooks. Chas. Van
Gorder, W. H. O'Contiell and Wil
son Burnside, directors. The resig
nation ot Mr. Nash as president
was tabled and he will still serve in
the position he has filled for the
past eight years.
The eighty nine mothers asking
the protection'of their children by
having the Audubon school
grounds divided are refused that
help. We believe in prevention
If more could be done to shield the
youth from temptation, there would
not be so much need of reform
schools, homes for fallen women
and homes for illegitimate and
friendless children. "Oh if I could
undo the follies of my youth." The
young need help till they have
strength of character.
One of the most atrocious deeds
ever known in the annals of crime
came to light Saturday forenoon
About 11 o'clock Joe Allee's two
boys were visiting some traps on
Blue Grass creek just north of the
fair grounds where they made the
discovery of the body of a baby
laying in the grass a few feet from
the creek. They immediately re
turned to town -w here they report
ed their find to the authorities
Justice Gray, Marshal Nate Carper
and Dr. Childs went to the scene of
the crime and found a male child
about six weeks old weighing
about nine and a half pounds
sandy complexion, and having
We the jury employed to inquire
the cause of death of a certain un
known child, find that the said un
known child came to its death from
a blow or stroke on the head with
some instrument to the jury un
known, which blow was inflicted by
some person to this coroner's jury
unknown.

It's a good
thing to know
where you can get the most and best
goods for your money. A lady came
to our store a few days ago and asked
for a 4-qt. granite coffee pot. The
price was 40 cents. She had found the
same thing at one store for 75 cents
and at another one for 60 cents.
Our Price Was
Worth Knowing
You will find it the same in any line
we carry. We pay low rent, we hire
no expensive clerks. We don't divide
profits with anyone. The result is
that we sell you goods at what others
