You need a stepladder about the house. They save scratching the chairs and are useful in many ways during the year. We have them in lengths from 5 to 8 feet. Order one .today.— J. C. Gwin Lumber Co. Mrs. Rebecca Hemphill, mother of Dr. Hemphill, who returned a week ago last Sunday from the hospital where she was operated on, is getting along as well as could be expected, but the injury requires daily dressing and its healing will doubtless prove very slow. The 3-year-old child of Mrs. Susan Schaffer, of Hammond, died Monday night in St. Margaret’s hospital in that city, of hydrophobia. Three weeks ago the little boy was bitten by a dog. He was taken to Chicago and treated at the Pasteur institute and had since been in the hospital, but alt to no avail. The little fellow writhed in agony during the last thirtj -six hours before death. The mother, who is a teacher in the Hammond schools, is so stricken by the death that it is feared the shock will kill her. < The boy was bitten by an old dog on the cheek on May 24th The advertisements painted on the last curtain at the Ellis theatre have served a very good purpose, having stood for almost.six years. It is probable that during that time a big per cent of the people of Jasper county have seen them several times. The new curtain Is guaranteed to remain for at least two years and will probably remain in use for five or six years, which makes an attractive advertising proposition. ' There are a good many fakes in advertising, but at the prices charged for this theatre curtain, f t looks like the best proposition of advertising we have seen outside of newspapers, which are generally conceded to be the best advertising mediums. " 1 ■ ■ e Steve Comer was in from his home in Union township Tuesday. He has driven about the county and has looked carefully at the wheat in which the fly is now generally at work. It is Steve’s opinion that wheat has retrograded 50 per cent in the past two weeks. Steve thinks much of it will not be worth harvesting. But still, thd favorable reports come from some sections of the- county. Sunday Fred Iliff and James Babcock, of Union township, showed heads of wheat to the writer that were well Ailed out and of good length and they reported that in the fields they had there was no evidence at all of the fly. It was Mr. Babcock’s opinion that some of the wheat would be ready to cut by the 20th of this month. A. O. Moore was In from east Barkley Tuesday. He said that the wheat in that section had suffered very much and confirmed the report of John Ryan that the Gillam township crop was practically a total failure. _ Phone your Wat Adv. to The RepubUcan.
