THE BELLS OF CHRISTMAS-TIDE
The Magi saw His sacred star,
In beauty undefiled,
.And brought their precious gifts to greet
The birthday of the Child.
Ho, in this wondrous day of days,
In deathless love impearled,
Hark! to the bells of Christmas-tide
That ring around the world!
The holly-leaves and mistletoe,
Where summer seems to cling,
"Whisper, through arctic distances,
Of God’s eternal spring.
Ho, on this wondrous day of days,
In deathless love impearled,
jHark! to the bells of Christmas-tide
That ring around the world!
The message of “good will to men,’’
Divinely clean and bright—
■Shines from the hills of Bethlehem
With everlasting light.
•So, on this wondrous day of days,
In deathless love impearled,
JHark! to the bells of Christmas-tide
That ring around the world!

An affidavit was filed with Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney Matheny a few
days ago charging Night Marshal .1.
W. Fetzer with barratry, and Mr.
Matheny was asked to take up the
matter and prosecute Mr. Fetzer, but
refused to do so. The affidavit was
filed by W. G. Neill and is the out
growth of the recent prosecution of
Neill and others for an alleged viola
tion of the new law prohibiting drunk
anness, Neill and his friends believing
that Mr. Fetzer was responsible for
their arrest and prosecution.
Rev. .Tas. F. .Ternigan left Tuesday
for Corning to attend the annual con
ference. As pastor on this work for
the last year he has done remarkably
good work, there having heen over
four hundred additions to the church
during the year. The conference will
be asked to detach Newark from the
circuit and make it a station. The
board of stewards has been working
to this end for some time and feel con
fident that their labors will be crown
ed with success. Pastor .Ternigan holds
a warm place in the hearts of all the
people of Newark and they hope to
have him for their first station preach
er.
Running* a newspaper is just like
running* a hotel, only different. When
a man goes into a hotel and finds some
thing on the table which does not suit
him, he does not raise hades with the
landlord and tell him to stop his old
hotel. Well hardly. He sets that dish
to one side and wades into the many
dishes that suit him. It is different
with some newspaper readers. They
find an article occasionally that does
not suit them exactly and without stop
ping to think it may please hundreds
of other readers, make a grand stand
play and tell the editor how a paper
should be run and what should be put
into it. But such people are becoming
fewer every year.
BAD NEGRO KILLED
Augusta, Dec. ti.—A demented negro
by the name of “Wash” Shears ran
amuck early yesterday morning and
shot seven persons, one of whom may
die. Shears was finally brought at
bay on the back steps of the Wood
ruff county court house and shot to
death by a crowd of citizens who had
rushed to their homes and secured fire
arms.
The crazed negro started on his
murderous career at 7:55 in the morn
ing and two hours later his body was
buried in a hastily dug grave, no in
quest being held.
The negro's victims are: Theodore
Gunkle, shot in the face, chest and
arms, seriously and possibly fatally
hurt: Mrs. ('has. Bryant, two slight
wounds in the forehead; Miss Bryant,
slightly wounded about the head:
Frank Wilson, a carpenter, wounded
in face and chest: Lindsay Poe, shot
in the legs: Allen Lippman, slightly
wounded: negro driver, shot in chin.

MISJUDGE
The correct test of a Drug
Store is the manner in
which Prescriptions and
Medicines are prepared.
The public has a right to
demand competent, con
scientious and faithful
service in every instance
where life or health is
involved. To meet this
demand has been the con
stant effort of this store.
How well we have suc
ceeded is proven by the
constant increase in our
business. The number of
people who intrust us
with their prescriptions
and other drug wants is
continually increasing.
The public appreciates
our effort* to give better
drugs and better service
than any store in town.

DO NOT KNOW WHAT
CAUSES SICKNESS!
Modern People Have Many Names for Same
Diseases, According to New Belief.
Does human health depend on one
organ alone? This question is becom
ing widely discussed since L. T.
Cooper first advanced his theory that
the stomach is the true seat of. life
and all health dependent upon it.
Mr. Cooper, who has met with re
markable success n the sale of his
new medicine, believes that the stom
ach is responsible for most sickness,
and that this organ is weak in the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently, he said: “I am
asKed time and again to tell why my
medicine has made such a record
wherever I have introduced it. My
answer always is, ‘because it restores
the stomach to a normal condition.’
Notone will deny that today there are
more half-sick men and women than
ever before. Nothing critical seems to
be the matter with them. They are
just half-sick most of the time. They
don’t know really what is the matter
with them. I have talked with thou
sands during the past two years, and
few knew indeed what their trouble
was. One said nervousness, another
said kidney trouble, another liver com
plaint, some constipation, or heart
trouble, or lung trouble. Many had
treated, as they called it. for most of
these diseases at different times. A
very common complaint is ‘all run
down,’ or ‘tired all the time,* or “no
appetite.' ”
“I know positively that every bit of
this chronic ill health is caused by
stomach trouble, and nothing else. My
New Discovery puts the stomach in
sound condition in about six weeks.
Mighty few people can be sick with a
sound digestion, max. is wu7 uiy
icine is selling at such a tremendous
rate. I have convinced many thou
sands of people that these things aro
so, and the number is growing by?
leaps and bounds.”
Among more recent converts to Mr.
Cooper’s beliefs is Mr. Edgar L. Hinds,
living at 6 Tappan Street, Everett^
Mass. Mr. Hinds has this to say on
the subject: ...
“I have suffered with stomacn
trouble for eight years. I was not siclc
enough to be in bed, but just felt bad
all the time. My greatest trouble was
that I always felt tired, would get up
in the morning feeling as tired as
when I went to bed.
“I had a very irregular appetite, and
was troubled with dizzy spells. If I
stood for any length of time, I would
have a dull pain in the lower part o£
my back. I was nervous and felt all
the time as though something terribla
was going to happen. I tried manyf
kinds of medicine, but nothing ever
helped me.
“I had about given up all hope of
ever being in good health again, when
I heard so much of Cooper and de
cided to try his medicine. I took onn
bottle of his New Discovery and was
greatly surprised at the result. T
gained 12 pounds in a few weeks. I
can now eat anything I wish, and feel
like a new man. I cheerfully recom
mend this medicine to all sufferers
from stomach trouble.”
It is worth anvone’s time, who is n^tr
enjoying good health, to learn of Mr.
Cooper’s wonderful preparations. We
are selling them in large quantities.

giving Dr. King's New Discovery, the
great medicine, that saved his life and
