JEFFRIES, MARSH & CO.
There are pillows wet by sobs;
there are gentle sensitive natures
seared and warped; there are old
time friends separated and walk
ing their lonely ways with hope
dead and memory but a pang;
there are cruel misunderstandings
that make life bare, these are but
few of the sorrows that come from
the crimes of the tongue.
A muddy stream, flowing into
one clear and sparkling, for a time
rolls along by itself. A little fur
ther down they unite, and the
whole is impure. So youth, un
touched by sin, may for a short
time keep its purity in foul com
pany, but a little later and they
mingle.

remedies is that they constipate.
Kennedys Laxative Cough Syrup

Country life has its drawbacks,
but it has its great advantages
which overcome them. True,
those who live in the country are
“Rubes” and “Farmers” and hay
seeds to the cigarette smokers in
town, but the boast of the busi
ness men in the world today is
that they were born on a farm.
Take away the surrounding evils
that beset the young men or
women on the threshold of life’s
journey in the city, and substi
tute the helpful influence of na
ture, and you fortify them for
the sterner walks in life. The
few things which they do not
know about table etiquette and
when it is proper to leave two
visiting cards and when but one,
they will catch onto much quicker
than city boys and girls will learn
to properly stroke the furnace or
make good bread. No boy or girl
need be ashamed ©f living on the
farm, for if they have taken ad
vantage of what it has offered,
they are fortified for after life.

News was received here Wednes
day morning of Chas. Meehan
shooting Will Moore at Cotton
Plant. The killing took place
about 7:00 o’clock a. m., when
Meehan went to Moore’s barber
shop, opened the front door, raised
his shot gun and fired, both loads
taking effect. Mr. Moore was
standing in the door which opens
into the bath room and was facing
Meehan when the first shot was
fired which took effect just below
the heart. Before the second
barrel was discharged, the victim
turned and the second deadly load
struck him in the back, breaking
his spinal column and three ribs.
Mr. Moore lived some 45 minutes
and it is reported made a dying
statement that he knew of no
reason why Meehan had shot him.
A wife and two children are left
to mourn the death of the above
victim.
