A man dropped deud in front of the post- office, and it was four days before his body was discovered. Fact. Honest to goodness, there are more dead men here and fewer burials than any coun try I know.” The many friends of Mrs. Luther Mc Koy were much grieved to hear of her death, which occurred Tuesday at her home in tho L''ourth district, after a two-weeka’ illness.

The following picturesque arraign ment of the pistol-toter is from an Alabama exchange— "A revolver is a nickel-plated sub stitute for bravery which has practi cally driven the original article out of the market. The revolver gives a puny man with a five-eighth inch brain and the pluck of a grasshopper a 100-yard reach and makes him more deadly than a Sioux Indian. There was a time when this country had no dangerous animals except bears and wolves, and life was safe except on the frontier; but now vast hordes of 16-year-old boys who use their skulls for a dime novel book-case roam the streets with cigarettes sticking out of their faces and a portable cannon in their hip- pockets, producing obituaries with the skilled enthusiasm of a cholera microbe — while it is at all times possible to meet a personal enemy who haB been chasing you for a week, and who fills you so full of lead that your remains will require eight pallbearers. Revol vers are now so generally UBed in de bate, in domestic quarrels and repartee of all sorts, that 8.000 Americans die of them each year.” Let the Children Kodak It’s Great Fun and Rare Sport A good, clean education and an inexpensive pastime is found in the click of a camera that records beautiful pictures that you will greatly prize now, and cherish more as tile years go by.
