FORMER BANDIT IS CONVERTED BY BROTHER KANSAS CITY, May 30. —It took 31 years for Daredevil Alex to “get” .Rocky, the Bounder. But in the sun set of the lives of the two brothers, once famous Western adventurers, the feat was accomplished. The Rev. Alexander Adiar, 75 years cld, re formed member of the Jesse James bandit gang, preaching Sunday in a revival service at the Confederate Home at Higginsville, gave a. stirring call to his aged audience to hit the trail for salvation. One of the first to respond was a power fully built man of 90, weeping as he knelt at the altar. It was Mortimer Adair, abas “Docky Moore,” or ‘Docky, the Bounder,” as he was once known, from the docks of New York to the Black Jack thickets of Okla homa. It was the first meeting of the brothers in 31 years and,marked the end of a search which Alex Adair,, bandit-evangelist, had made.

Meyerhardt, Grand Correspondanc of La Societe des 40 Homines et o Chevaux, for the annual promenade of La Societe in Savannah, June sth, in conjunction with the Ameri can Legion Convention. The Committee on Arrangements in Savannah, under the direction of W. W. Houseal, have mapped out the following program for the voya geurs militaire: Luncheon at 1:00 P. M., followed by business meeting and election of officers for the en suing term; parade at 4:30 P. M., in cluding special box car for prison niers de guerre; wreck of the P. G.’s box car at 7:00 P. M., including special ceremony under the guid ance of Acting Grand Conducteur Charles M. Gallienr.e, Chief of the Atlanta wrecking crew. Among the Atlanta voyageurs who will participate in rhe prome nade in Savannah are Dr. Robert C. Eve, D. J. Meyerhardt, J. G. C. Bloodworth. Jr., Evan P. Howell, Crawford Maddox, J. B.

In Afghanistan, kids of five years marry; while in America, married couples often act that age. Sillyads I | \ ** rS/. c ' Extravagance and a banana peel may be the cause of many a per son's downfall, while many slip in Th e Empire Bank but never lose their balance. Now-a-days, the woman who gets angry when kissed, simply spends a few minutes before her mirror—and is made up again. The best essentials to make up, are found at Nathan Murray’s. When mother-in-law threatened a visit, the couple in the small flat said they had no room for com plaint. The most fussy people have no room for complaint when they trade with Churchwell’s. It’s not necessary to teach a hen to pray and say ‘‘Now I lay me” instead, feed her on Tuxedo Feed from The Harris Grocery. Before marriage a man will sing “Every Morn I’ll Bring Thee Vio let!” Later, he will kick at bring ing home a little flour, instead of some of those good Model Bread Co.’s rolls. While it’s higher hire to employ carpenters to work on inferior lum ber, it’s lower hire when they use material from Jno. W. Shiver’s. Even the man with twins in the baby carriage, rolls his own. To roll along contentedly in a buzz carriage, be supplied with gas from Loving Oil Co. A woman has been known to give a gTocer fifty cents for eggs, and in return get twelve bad (s) cents. When you wish the right kind of change, why not that old suit dry cleaned like new by Americus Steam Laundry. The person who has a headache may shake it off by taking dope, but a person shakes the ache in stead of the head, who takes chiro practic adjustments from Dr, C. D. Fambrough, Chiropractor. (Continued Friday) YOU ARE BEING ROBBED of a large per cent of the real joy of life if you are among the countless people who drag along from day to day with a lazy, inactive liver. Such a con dition brings on that tired, worn out feeling and will lead o a serious impairment of your health unless remedied. Dr G. B. Williams’ Liver and Kidney Pills used according to directions will make you feel like a new person. They have been put ting the vim and vigor of youth into people tor.. over. titty years.
