ing purposes. He is doing the work in a house in the west part of town, and makes them for market. The recent snow storm put a good many -out of a job, while it gave several a Job —that of hunting rabbits, of which there were lots caught. They report a big crop of them this year. We certainly have had some genuine winter weather since Saturday night. The high winds then were very damaging to the corn through these parts, blowing it down so badly. Further than that there wasn’t much damage done. Uncle Ransom Elijah, who lives north of Mt. Ayr, and his granddaughter, Miss Grace Handley, of near the Tolin ranch, who have been visiting in California and other states the past month, returned home the first of the week. While out there they spent a week in the woods out on a hunting trip. He was successful in bagging one deer, besides several other aniamls of lesser importance. By the way, Uncle Ransom used to be one of the pioneer deer hunters, when Beaver timber was inhabited by them, and in those days he was a crack shot with a rifle. Thursday morning at 1:40 o’clock, the still hofir of night, the town was aroused from its slumber by the toll of the Christian church bell, calling forth the residents to fight a fire which had started in the residence of Ed Kesler. A good sized crowd of ready hands were soon on the scene, but nothing could he done to check the hungry blaze. All they could do was to keep it from getting to the woodshed and then N. A. McKay’s house would have been in serious danger. The house was a good 1 % story cottage, with an addition built to it for the purpose of taking pictures, as his wife was quite a photographer. There was nothing gotten out but an organ and a few other things. The loss will be S7OO or SBOO. Ed hasn’t slept in the house but a few times since his wife has been gone, and at the time of the fire was at his mother’s where "he has been stopping. Up to this writing we have not learned wether or not he carried insurance but think he probably did. Fortunately for other property in town the roofs were covered with snow, or the fire brands would have endangered many other buildings. How the fire started is unkonwn.

A Father’s Vejngeance would have fallen on any one who attacked the son of Peter Bondy of South Rockwood, Mich., but he was powerless before attacks of Kidney trouble. “Doctors could not help him,” he wrote, “so at last we gave him Electric Bitters and he improved wonderfully frofn taking six bottles. Its the best Kidney medicine I ever saw.” Backache, Tired feeling, Nervousness, Loss of Appetite, warn of Kidney trouble that may end in dropsy, diabetes or Bright’s disease.

Blacker’s house was blown to one side until he was compelled to move into another house Sunday. A numbef of barns and outbuildings were badly wrecked by the storm.

Saved Many From Death. W. I. Mock of Mock, Ark., believes he has saved many lives in his 25 years of expedience in the drug business. “What I ( always like to do,” he writes, “is to recommend Dr. King’s New Discovery for weak, sore lungs, hard colds, horseness, obstinate coughs, la grippe, croup, asthma or other bronchial affection, for I feel sure that a number of my neighbors are alive and well today because they took my advice to use it. I honestly believe its the best throat and lung medicine that’s made.” Easy to prove he’s right. Get a trial bottle free, or regular 50c or SI.OO bottle. Guaranteed by A. F. Long.

Difficult Scriptures on Hell. A little Book selling at only ten cents, postpaid, is having a very wide circulation —running up into the millions. It contains some very startling information respecting the meaning of the word Hell. It claims to demonstrate, both from the Hebrew and the Greek of our Bible, that Hell is NOT a place of eternal torment, but merply another name for the TOMB, the GRAVE, THE STATE OF DEATH. It affects to show that man was not redeemed from a far-off place of eternal torture, bnt quotes the Scriptures proving that he was REDEEMED from the GRAVE at the cost of his Redeemer’s LIFE and that the Scriptural Hope, both for the Church and the World, is a resurrection hope based upon the death and resurrection of Jesus. The book is certainly worth the reading: The information it furnishes is certainly valuable, far beyond Its trifling cost Order it at once from the Bible and Tract Society, 17 Hicks street, Brooklyn, N.

A Mail Carrier’s Load, Seems heavier when he has a weak back and kidney trouble.
