they sold their planing mill t<.
Messrs. W H. Baskin of Mi neo-
la, and J. H. May of Cutting.

bantered Utem for a trade. It
is understood that Mr. Baskin
will be here by the loth iust. and
assume control of the plant. Mr.
May expects to' come by the first
of March. He formerly lived a
f>iW mile?, north of here and is
well known. Mr. Baskin has
lived in this section a number of
years and is well known. Both
are practical mill men and they
intend to increase the ctpanty
of tlie plant and make other im¬
provements. Advl will gladly
welcome them here.
The Me-6rs. Knight have not
yet decided w hat they will en¬
gage in, but it is hoped and be¬
lieved tint they will not leave
Adel. The town could not well
afford to lose such enterprising
citizons. Iu whatever th-y do
they will have the best wishes ol
all. Tho ginning plant was not
included in the sale.
The scratch of a pin may cause
the loss of a limb or even death
when blood poisoning results
from the injury. All danger of
this may be avoided, however, by
promptly applying GlmiiWIain’s
Pain Balm. It is an antiseptic
and quick healing liniment for
cuts, bruises and burns. For sale

MR. JOSEPH CROSBY DEAD.
The End Came Peacefully Last Saturday
Sight —An Old Citizen.
Mr. Joseph T. Crosby died at
.
the home of his son, Mr. Buck

Mr. Crosby had been sleeping,
but awoKO his wife and corn-
plained of a severe pain in his
breast. He sat up iu the bed
but almost immediately fell back
and expired.
Mr. Crosby came to Berrien
from Mitchell county during the

Lost Forty-Nine Hogs.
Mr. Byrd Hamlcock, of Lenox,
was u visitor to Adel last week.
While here he stated that he had
lost forty-nine hogs by cholsra
recently.
Tendency of the Times.
The tendency of medical science
is toward preventive measures.
The best thought of the world is
being given to the subject. It is
easier and better to prevent than
to cur-?. It has been fully demon¬
strated that pneumonia, one of
the most dangerous diseases that
medical-men have to coated with,
can be prevented by the use of
Ohamberluin’s Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from a
cold or from an attack of influenza
(grip,) and it has been observed
that this remedy counteracts any
tendency of these diseases toward
pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in mflnv thousands' of
cases in which this remedy has
been used during the great pre-
valeuce of colds and grip in re-
cent years, and can be relied
11 pon with implicit confidence,
Pneumonia often results from a
slight cold when no danger is ap¬
prehended until it is suddenly
discovered that there is fever and
difficulty in breathing and pains
m the chest, then it is announced
that the patient has pneumonia.
Be on the safe side and

THE SCHOOL IS CROWDED.
A Very Large Attendance'at the Adel
Institute—Need of New Budding.
The Adel Institute is crowded.
In fact, it is full to overflowing,
ihe hall is now being used as a
recitation room. It lias become
necessary to add another teacher
and Miss Irma shaw lias been
elected to^that position and as¬
sumed her duties Monday. She
is a splendid teacher and the
board is fortunate in securing her
services.
The music room lias hud to be
given up and a room has been
fitted up at Dr. Woodard’s resi¬
dence for that purpose.
Ii» view of these facts it seems
to us that no man ought to oppose
th® building of a new' school
building.
