, tjieir appreciation of the hospitali

tertaing hostess who spares no ef
fort to make these pleasant occa

Japanese lanterns, like so many

the hour had grown late unawares.
The lovely hostess was shower
ed with unlimited expressions of
pleasure enjoyed by the departing
guests,and they look forward with
fond anticipation for another hap
py evening in her beautiful home.
HOG CHOLERA
I have a great many letters from
farmers asking for help in saving
their hogs. Hog Cholera is our
worst hog disease. Write for our
bulletin on Hog Cholera so you
will recognize the disease when it
first appears. The State Veterina
rian, I)r. R. M. Gow, at Fayette
ville will vaccinate your hogs and
will only charge you for his hotel
bill and the actual e«st of the se
rum, and will make no charge for
his services. The work can be
done for your neighbors who may
have sick hogs, at the same time,
and the expense will be much less.

DEE HODGES KILLED
BY WILL BATEMAN
Was Shot Sunday Evening in Road
Near Esmo and Died Tues
day Morning
Dee Hodges was shot by Will
Bateman late Sunday evening
near Elmo and was so badly
wounded that he died Tuesday
morning.
Bateman, who is constable of
that township, attempted to ar
rest Hodges for disturbing the
peace when it is alleged that Hod
ges made a motion as if to draw a
gun, whereupon Bateman opened
tire on him, shooting him three
times, one bullet entering the
breast, another the stomach and
the third passing through one arm.
George Weatherman was the
only eye witness of the killing.
The Killing occured in the pub
lic road, in what is known as the
Conn Lane, about two miles from
the county line, in Jackson county.
The coroner jury who investi
gated the case returned a verdict
exonerating Bateman.
Both were young men, about 28
years old, and neither was mar
ried. Hodges was known as a big
hearted fellow but was rather
reckless and had been into a good
deal of trouble.
