JERRY R. COFFEE. John Spuiier, Auct. 235t9 o YOUNG IS CREATING A BIG SENSATION. Scores of Local People are Now Praising Harshone Roots and Herbs to Beat the Band. Young and the Harshone root and herb plan of ridding the system of disease, is a great drawing card at the Holthouse drug store these days, and judging by what scores of local people are saying, the Hershone medicine is certainly doing a wonderful lot of good for many oi this locality.

a Young was away a few days this week, ■ g but he is back iu the drug store now | il and is kept very busy explaining the ; remedy to the many callers, however.: g he took the time to say: “I am stayli Ing in Decatur much longer than expected, and my stay is now being ex- < S tended from day to day. because while ' y I have met hundreds of people aim e y my arrival, the crowds are growing 3 larger ths longer ! stay. Os course I I- am phased to meet the people before I and alter taking our medicine, but I j tel! you, it does my heart good to ‘ • see them come in after they have used ‘ y it a week or so. and hear them tell t of the great good which it Is doing tor t them. I have great confidence In Har- • shone roots and herba, because I know > : the remedy dees not contain a singie ■ ■ injurious or habit forming drug and • because I see so many people before p they take it. and hear so much praise I of it after they do take it a white. , It Is good for anybody in any condl- ■ tion of life, because it cleans out the Stomach, liver, kidneys and bowel*. and It also invigorates and to: • < I ‘.hem up. When the great organs of ■ the body are no longer clogged t’p > with slime, waste material aud deadly i germs, nature will restore them to healthy condition so that good rl .i ■ blood will soon be made to feed eve> weak part of the body Harsbor. > . roots and herbs is nature s remed, which helps nature rid the system of disease, bloating, belching heartburn. ' sick headache, constipation, unhealthy appetite, coated tongue, rheumatism, I backache, nervousness, sleeplessness, frequent urination, general debility, loss of flesh and many other symptoms i of a disordered condition of the dig»s tlve and secretory organs, will anon I be a thing of the past If Harshone ’ roots and herbs are used a reason- ■ able time, bees use the remedy ro . moves the cause and nature cures” When you see Young, he will prove all he claims.

west. Quince and Cora used to corniover in the evening and help pop corn. Cora taught my sister that old j ballad, beginning: “It rained, it rained, it rained one day I And all the boys of our old town, Went out to toss their balls,’’ etc. I If any one remembers the rest of it, please write it out and send it to me. One day while we were playing in the cow shed I found a hitch chain. Uncle Jerry Archer said he would give me a nickel for it. He took the ! chair, but I never got the nickel. Ali though I have since received value 1 received, a hundredfold, many times. ] compensation can never satisfy that j unpaid debt. I distinctly remember i the Shirey House and the gilded wood- ' nn bull on the steeple of the Mbright I church. It was about this time that ’Wayne Baughman was killed by the train south of town. We next lived in the Ellsworth ■ house, where Lew Hammond now lives. We kept our cow in a past-ne over near Cook Town. 1 used to I v, .itch George Roop make shoes. "Hi" and “Johnnie'' Mann took me wi’h them once out to visit their uncle, George Brown. I caught my first tad- , pole on that trip One day while I ' was holding ■ Johnnie’’ up on the high . end of a “teeter" board and his red hair was flaming in the wind, he fell i ofl and was severely hurt I could I not convince him that I felt badly about it. , While here I went to school for the first time. My teacher was Anna ( Fitzgerald. She was a most excellent and u T '-to date teacher. If she is st’ll living I would be delighted to hear from her. It was in the southwest i room downstairs in the old frame building which is now being used, I believe, for a warehouse by Mr. E. L. Carroll. Miss Fitzgerald taught , mo to read by the word method, which at that time was a brand new inno- ! ration. It was not heard of In other i schools until years afterward. I ' would give a great deal for a copy of that old First reader which gave m? the alphabet in the back, and which j I did not learn until I had rea I, through the whole book. At home

we used wash blueing for ink and 1 had spilled some on the cover of the | book by accident I remember what a source of regret it was to me that I could not truthfully repeat the following verse which was the last k ■ son in that book: : “Now fare you well, m; little book. [; I've read your pages through, I Without oue list of a-b, ab. I Or even one touch of blue.” ’] i don’t know whether Miss Htzger1 aid knew much pedagogy or psychology, but 1 do know that she practiced j whole volumes of it. 1 shall never for- ' get the day she stepped to the board.

j praised me for correctly adding a column consisting of the two figures I and 1. She had some elementary m. :: ual work—we say Industrial vo.k now. Nothing in school has since been more attractive to me than that i first picture frame which she taught me to make of colored wooden splints. She also used cooked peas and tooth-picks. Mr. Hastings was the superintendent and Amos Beehtol was the villain pupil upon whom he, exercised his ingenuity or wrath ns I the case may be. I think George ■ Luckey was county suporintendant, and later, when John F. Snow became superintendent, I thought that In or i <ier to be in such an important posi‘tion one must be long and thin, with possibly a little stoop to the sl>.3 ders Other teachers which stand out l n mv experience for one reason or another were Cal Kunkle, Jim Bar nett. Sam Magtey, Belle Merrls (Fristoe), Al Fristoe. Cap Kirby. Charley Dailey, Dick Erwin aud i’ll! Cowan • re f. l( n all Grd sreed We next moved to a small hous>, third door north of the old German Reformed ebureh It was owned by an old German It was across the street from Niblick’s back lot and a ««t «t«n»d by Mr Si nncer. who then ran a hardware store He used to buy old Iron and pile It up in this lot. Our nearest neighbor’s boy used to steal thia Iron and get me to help him ha<i| It down to the hardware store tnd sell It nnin to Mr. Rpen ear. No. I have not yet heard that he has become » V. H senator, tn fact. 1 I do not know what has become of him: heard once that he was aetit to tb* penitentiary for a long term There used to be an old Ice house acmes the alley from I'ncle Jakey Gloss’, a farmers' feed and hitching yard adtelned. He would steal whips from the rigs In this yard and hide them In the saw dust of this Ice | house I never learned what bo ever < did with them He would also shoot the horses with a slingshot to make them breaks loose, one day this same boy gnve me a lot of candy, which I came home eating That < evening mother missed money out of the bureau drawer I served a prison sentence of a whole day in the smoke bouse before she found out whore the money had gone This boy’s father ; would nurse every Sunday morning , when he beard the churrh belle He had another brother. George, who was a mode) boy Thia was in some of ■ the 'good old times’ ‘Hist you uomo-

, times hear about. The boys as a raw , at that time game Marshal Rhodes 8 I merry chase when he attempted tc round them up. Some of the boys in our “gang’ were Dade Studabaker, Charley Kiiu Clint and Liss Driimmond, Quince H;1 debrand, i’atchy Pyle, Bob Gregory i George Schroeder, Jo« Conner, Her man and Limpy Confer, Will i'leeman, Bob and Clay Peterson, l.w Yager, I Dannie ami Charlie Niblick, Jinks i France, Pat Bobo and others, that for . the present I have forgotten. W e . ranged in age. I suspect, from six i . sixteen. We small boys tagged after 1 the older one, In spite of the fact that • they always ducked us when we went swimming down by the old stone quarry above the brewery. We had • our balloon furnace, played marbles ■ am! other games, and flew our kites in the big commons wr’t of the church. ! We had a race track down in the country weeds, the present site of the ■ Decatur waterworks. There in the weeds we sometimes played Indian ' and had as scant clothing on at times i as the most primitive savage you ever hea-d of. It kept Poodle and Lufu Meibers pretty busy to prevent us i from hooking" apples from their sai ther's orchard, nearby. George I Schroeder used to provide his widow I ed mother with summer fuel by galhI ering twigs and bark in Illi’s wood. I always thought it peculiar that he p it this in a grain sack and then wheeled ■ it homo. They lived in anent little cottage, log, T think, northwest of the church. They always made me think 1 of that old story in the old reader of ■ the time where it tells about George bringing home the wild strawberries ■ to his mother. Wes Peterson lived west of the county woods. For cash we needed in our daily transactions we used some kind of bank notes or draft forms which we picked up behind the stores down town To this day I cannot tell what the pieces of paper were, but I know that the boys treasured them bigh'y. They may have been old Confederate I bills. Charlie Niblick used to let me ride , their lawn mower when he pulled it

' upside down. It was used on the front loan of the old Niblick homestead and was the first lawn mower : I ever saw. The lawns of that time 1 did not look much like they do now. The sidewalks were mostly poor board , walks; the streets were poor and a ! weak effort was made to keep the hogs off of the streets. The old stock "pound’ was down in the county woods. There were so many boards off the fence that most any citizen might easily sneak his cow through at night. Taking it ail in all. Decatur was not nearly so orderly as it is t> day. • It seems more like a dream than a reality when I recall the row of frame sharks that served as stores along the ma n stret at that time. We us-d to get our bread at Jake Martin's, or Colchin's, across from the old elm tree. Where Pete Hoithouae's sto'-e now stands used to be Kern’s dr’g store, which was quite a loafing place' for the boys. John Loan's barber shop was another one. It was tn front us th s that I heard for the first time the story «-* Governor Bradford and therattksnake skin stuffed with arrows. It »as told by Pat Hobo, while he stood there In his bare feet (we always went barefooted) tying a string to h’s "bow-gun." My most humll : tt- x Ing childish experience was once when I asked for butter at Holthouse’s shoe store instead of Alber's grocery. AnJ the stale butter we got then’ I can smell it through all these years I dot. t remember where we bought our ‘ , clothing as the smell of new cloth was not very familiar to me Say, boys, do you remember the times we used to have with that force pump down by the old woolen mill?! The city brass band used to iheet there in the summer evening's for practice. John lame played the big horn and Dick Dorwln beat the snare drum Os course In our eyes these two were the chief actors Just n—r »as the old M. E. church. I shall never forget one Christmas Eve spent h»re I stood by enraptured by the old red-hot box-stove during the even'og On going out Into the night cold I incurred pneumonia, from which I did not recover until several weeks alter, when we had moved to the counI try. out In Waahlngtop township, .ater on.
