bod. “A little pen of pine poles
levered with leaky beards, and
ingli plank for seats,” she says,
md right around this schcol
,uae are six little baby boys less

-
whose duty it is to look after the
school houses in Jones county
that there is probably not, one in
the county in a worse condition
than is ours, not even a jicgro I
school house. It 1 a only a small
pen made of pins poles, covered
with boards and lias rough planks
for scats. We have a school of
20 to 25 pupils. Right around the
school house there an six baby
hoys less than a year old. Holpns
to get a school house so tho little
fellows can have some of the atl-
vantages of education in ordor
that they may may make useful
citizens,

Among a lot of Indian game
chickens raised by Capt. F. S.
Johnson can be found one of the
most remarkable I have ever seen.
The one in question has resolved
himself into what might be
termed a rut terrier. IIo is ns
much delighted at the chance of
catching a rat as a child is of
catching a June bug in June bug
time. Just taken box from the
store out into (he yard and llns
ratter chicken knows exactly what
is up. lie will watch as intently
as a dog or cat, and when alnouse
or small rat jumps out o; the box
lie grabs it by tliuback and shakes
it exactly like a rat terrier would,
only the dog will flop it against
each side of its head, and the
chicken jabs it against the ground
just as they ail kill lings and get
a peanut out ef the hull. As soon
as Mr, Chicken kills one he is
ready for another and will watch
and wait for the next cue dud
as tho rat runs along on tlie
ground will run after it ju„t as
eagerly as a cat or dog would.
When the box is taken away the
chicken seems to understand that
the rat catching is over for that
time, and then lie quietly eats
what ho wants of the rats lie has
killed. I know this sounds sort,'!'
fishy, but it is a fact, and I can
prove it by several who have seen
the chicken catch and eat rats,
just as I have described.
A sweet cracker on which was
written an order for several ar¬
ticles lay in a show case here for
sonao time after the order was
filled. Now, what I want to know
is whether the order was prompted
by economy, laziness or neglect,
If economy, the person must
valued the time of hunting up
per very highly, If laziness, the
fellow had more crackers than he
could eat and was too lazy to hunt
writing paper. Jf it was neglect,
he simply neglected to have paper
at hand. The writer of the order
is George 'I. Pippin. Some of you
may know him.
The pust-Gflce here is a pretty
good trad<5 barometer. Wi n del-
halms or quarters i'll pro-
seated for a stamp to tnni a sin-
letter trade is all ri lit, hut
when each letter is aceui nut lied
by two pennies trade is is 1 wrong,
In other words, when pei
cumulate in tho je.st-ollii trade
is dull, and when the go out
i’ado is good. They are ■■ nut*;
ui now,
Hunters up this way ni rig'.it
after the part ridges, A of
them have boon killed 1 readv.
Still it seams to lie the c > iplaint
of the hunters that birds r > Hard
to find.
j Rev. •!. P. Erwin preach'd bis

I once year hero last Saturdn , Sun-
I day and Sunday night. Tim is his,

THE BEST REMEDY FOR
CROUP.
| From Atchison, Kan., Daily Globe.]
Tiiis is the season when tint
woman who knows the best reme¬
dies fur croup is in demand in ev¬
ery neighborhood. One of the
most terrible tilings in the woil i
is to bo awakened in the middle
ol ' But night, by a whoop from one
of tho children. I’ho croup rome-
dies are almost as sure to bo lost,
in case of croup, as a revolver is
sure to bo lost m case of burglars.
There used to be an aid-fashioned
1 emedy for croup, known as hive
syrup su\d tolu, but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is better and does
not cost so much. It causes the
patient to “throw up the phlegm ) J
quicker, and gives relief in n
shorter time. Give this remedy as
soon as thoeroupy cough appears
and it will prevent the attack,
it. never fails and is pleasant
and absolutely safe to take.

r riie Reason
Wo sold more vehicle*! Inst year
than dealers that have been in tho
business for the last quarter old
century speaks Volumes.
People are becoming more ex-
acting every day. The first thing
they seek now in quality. Thry
next consider the piico. That is
sensible.
That explains the whole mat-
ter. Qiiulity and prise is our
hobby. We do dot consider
cheap vehicles at all. We decide
on the best \vag< ns and buggies
and then buy them so we can
undersell our competitors,
We get all the disc omit 8 off by

We can prove all we say to be
true. Cali and let ns do it.
