Like a Drowning Man.

“Five years ago a disease the doctdrs called dyspepsia took such hold of me that I could scarcely go,*’ writes Geo. S. Marsh, well known attorney of Nocona, Tex. “I took quantities of pepsin and other medicines but nothing helped me. As a drowning man grabs at a straw I grabbed at Eodoi. I felt an improvement at once and after a few bottles am sound and well.” Eodoi Is the only preparation which exactly reproduces the natural digestive juices and donßequently is the only one which digests any good food and cures any form of stomach trouble.

GET YE READY..

Astrologer Predicts Many Big Storms in June. Death, disaster and terror, say the stars, will continue to astound the world this year, according to L. G. Eey, a Chicago astrologer. The disasters of the next few months will be appalling. Seldom has the world experienced such a series of calamities as are said to be in store. “The months of June and July,” Baid Mr. Eey,“will be filled with calamities. There are to be terrific storms and many lives will be sacrificed. Saturn is in his own sign and disaster is bound to scatter over the earth. Disturbances in tbe earth like the eruption of the West Indian volcanoes were predicted by astrologers two years ago.” The Barkley township commencement will be held in the Barkley Christian church next Saturday evening. The graduates number six, as follows: Newton Amos, John Hill, May Hayes, Homer Arnold, Arthur Waymire and Arthur Hayes.

Our Man About Town

One of our citizens has his mother living with him, and It is reported by the neighbors that he is so mean to her that he and his wife will have pie, but never more than two pieces, one for himself and one for his wife, and his mother is compelled to go without this luxury. ***

We heard of a man the other day who changed his name in order to inherit some property from an old uncle. Bat the nncle died without leaving a will, ofr if he left a will he forgot to mention the nephew, and now he is trying to get his name spelled the old way again. V Railroad men tell ns that the brakemen know more about the innermost business secrets of the road than the president. Whenever they want to know any secrets, the brakemen are supposed to keep a sharp lookout and they will have more information than the Encyclopedia Brittanica. #** One of our friends the other day said that he would change bis politics to get out of house cleaning, and he is a rank partisan, too. V People in this town are taking the raw egg care, and we believe it is a good thing. And whether we do or not, they will go on taking it. There are some eggs, however, that we would prefer not to take. * * * A young man we heard of the other day bought a diamond for his girl. In a few weeks he brought it to one of the jewelers and sold it at a discount. One would have thought it would have been cheaper to hold on to it for the next engagement. V* One of our acquaintances is reading a book entitled “Like Another Helen,” and yet he is a man who would no more be guilty of failing to recognize the good qualities in his wife than the needle would vary from the pole. His wife wants him to read something else, because her name is not Helen, but he says that is why he likes to read it. V The boys tell a story on a young man who had a couple of girls out b Q ggy riding, not long ago, and he was driving a colt hitched with an old horse. The colt had never been hitched before, and they say he had his hands full, but we have seen other boys out buggy riding with horses that were well trained, and they had their arms full. The story is going that most of the boys wonld rather drive old horses. V

A newspaper man asked a subscriber for some money due him on subscription, The subscriber said, “O, yes; that really ought to have been paid long ago.” With that he took a twenty dollar bill out of his pocket and said, “Just give me the change, please.” The newspaper man has not collected the bill yet. Can you think of a meaner trick to play on a man ? V*

We heard of a man the other day of whom it is said he got his wife under false pretense, because she did not know what kind of a chump he was till after they were married. V

A man was telling a story the other day, and several of the listeners had to leave before it was finished, as it got to be train time. A wag standing by, told the apologizing auditors not to be cast down as they would get the rest of it the next time they came to town. The question now is, whom was he slamming ? V

We heard of a man the other day of whom it is said he is so mean that the neighbors are getting ready to throw up their hats when he dies.

It’s the Home of John O'Connor.

Eniman was probably the only town in the county which celebrated the birth of the new Cuban republic, Tuesday. They are true blue and patriotic down there and had the town nicely deoorated.—Wheatfleld Telephone.

m Discusses j Sundry v and ) Other Matters.

Rev. Meads Will Conduct Revival Meetings In a Gospel Automobile. Rev. W. E. Meads, former pastor of the Free Baptist church, has decided to engage in traveling evangelistlo work. He has about decided to have an automobile fitted np for the purpose. The auto will be oovered with hanging onrtains. In the front will be an organ whioh can be nsed as a seat when not in use and in the rear there will be space to store a gospel tent with sufficient capaoity to seat hundreds of people. The onrtains will be embellished with suitable religions mottoes. The automobile will be nsed not alone for purposes of traveling but will be used to advertise the meetings and also as a puplit from whioh to preaoh on the streets. Meetings will be held in the tent where an extended stay is contemplated. Rev. Meads will open the meetings in Ohicago and travel this way. After holding meetings here he will work his way southwest, his ultimate destination being Indian Territory. The automobile will cost |BOO, but in consideration of the advertisement it will be for the oompany furnishing it, it will be sold to him for SSOO. This amount will be raised by subscription among the admirers of Rev. Meads.

Now as it is the time of the year the assessor is making his annual round a republication of a few of the items that have appeared in the colams of the local papers daring the past six months will be interesting. We refer to items similar to these: Oar highly esteemed and honored oitizen, Qeorge Neverpay, has purchased a fine Enabe piano. The instrument is of polished rosewood, elegantly finished, and cost |BOO. Q. K. Sellcash, the well-known merchant, has purchased a handsome new surrey at a cost of $450. P. P. Pollerticks, a popular public official, now proudly wears a SIOO gold watoh, recently presented him by his estimable wife. The popular saloon keeper, J. Jams Jimmies, recently refused $250 for his fine driving horse. All the above items sound very pretty; bat now we turn to the assessor’s list, and find the following. Qeorge Neverpay, one piano, SSO. G. K. Sellcash, one surrey, S3O. P. P. Pollerticks, one gold watch, $35. J. Jam Jimmies, one horse, $35. As the valuation given on the assessor’s list is sworn to by the parties named, the newspaper fellows must be magnificent liars, or the owners of the property are perjured liars.

The second annual declamation contest, with one contestant from each school corporation outside of Marion and Rensselaer, will be held at 1:30 p. m. at Rensselaer, on June 21, 1902.

Suit Against Saloon Keeper.

A case has been venued here from Newton county that is of interest to those living in the north end of the county in the vicinity of Rose Lawn. Wm. B. Hancock, of Rose Lawn has brought suit against Wm. Eight, of the same place, for 92,000 damages. The suit is the result of the fight at Rose Lawn some months ago, in which Hancock had his bead cracked.

Hancock was badly used up in the row, from receiving a blow on the head from a gun barrel in tbe hands of Reuben Gundy. Hancock claims that Gundy became intoxicated with whiskey secured .at Eight’s place, hence the suit.
