Busch is for Taft, and he says that when Taft is nominated for president the country will settle down to “normal conditions” and business will improve. Os course Busch has special reference to his own business. It Is strange what Is being done bv temperance in the south —the land where every gentleman was once considered a “jedge of licker” and where the peach brandy, the apple jack and the mint julip was sipped to the gallantry of every man and to the graciousness of every woman. In North Carolina yesterday the vote was 60,000 majority for a “dry” state. The prohibition wave swept over the state from one end to the other, and out of 98 counties, the wets only carried live. A motion to make it unanimous is about what the governor of North Carolina would now say to the governor of South Carolina. —Rochester Sentinel. A Republican paper which receives its inspiration from the Republican campaign managers says that “the tariff has practically nothing to do with the cost of things on the market.” If this is the case, why have all of the Republican papers in the country been demanding that congress put •wood pulp and printing paper on the fre e list? As a matter of fact, however, the tariff has “practically” everything to do with “the cost of things on the market.” The tariff protects the trusts from foreign competition and enables them to make prices to suit themselves. And the trusts never forget to make them high and keep them high. Bayard Gray, who recently died from the effects of a stroke of apoplexy, left a surprisingly large estate, the same being estimated to be worth as much as $125,000. Upon the death of his brother he inherited almost $75,000, and upon the death of his mother this was increased by some $25,000 or $30,000 more. He was well-to-do himself, his private fortune being estimated at from $15,000 to $25,000. He carried life insurance to the amount of from SIO,OOO to $15,000. The only blood relative is an aunt.Terrissa Swearer, of Columbus, 0., and some thirty or forty cousins. Whether there is a will that may turn up by and by is a matter of conjecture. After being stricken he was unable to converse intelligently or coherently. —South Bend Times. BUCKLEN'S ARNICA SALVE WINS Tom Moore, of Rural Route 1.

This is the best known preparation that is offered to the people today for dyspepsia or indigestion or any stomach trouble. Kodol digests all foods. It is pleasant to take. It is sold here by B. Doolittle. 0 PARISIAN SAGE GIRLS. You never saw a beautiful woman who didn't have beautiful hair. The charms of a beautiful woman lie in her hair. Many women do not realize the attractions they possess because they do not give proper attention to the care of the hair. The women of Paris are famed for their beauty, not because their facial features are superior to those of other women, but because they know howto keep young by supplying vigor, lustre, and strength to the hair. Up to two years ago Parisian Sage could hardly be obtained in America. But now this delightful hair restorer can be had in every town in America. Holthouse Drug Co. sells it in Decatur for 50 cents a bottle, and they guarantee it to grow beautiful, luxuriant hair; to turn dull, lifeless hair into lustrous hair; to stop falling hair; to stop itching of the scalp. Understand, Holthouse Drug Co will give you your money back if it fails. Made only In America by Giroux Mfg. Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

Cora Anis, daughter of James and Louisa Crozier, was born Dec. 25, 1878, and departed this life June 1. 1908, aged 29 years, 5 months and ' 6 days. She was united in marriage with E. F. Johnson April 16, 1902. To this union were born two children, a son and daughter, Kenneth and Flo, the son preceding his mamma to the* world of spirits. Cora was a model wife and mother, a kind friend and highly respected neighbor. She was a great sufferer, but like her Divine Master, a silent one, she did not murmur or complain because of her lot, during ihe Jong and tedious d'ays and weeks and months of her affliction but evinced the noble traits of a devoted Christian character. She had a desire to get well, her husband and little girl were the magnets that drew her earthward. This was only wifely and motherly, but realizing that she had past all hope of recovery, she became perfectly- resigned to the inevitable. Cora was • converted when about 15 years of age, and joined the U. B. church In- which fellowship she lived a consistent Christian life until death conducted her to th e church trjumphant. On the list of mourners are a devoted husband, one little girl, father, two brothers, two sisters, with uncles and aunts and a large circle of relatives and friends who held her in highest esteem. One has left us whose absence from be keenly felt. ✓
