Something for You LITTLE
to Think About
DOING IN COURT
The time is fast coming when persons of large and persons of small means w ill use Trust Companies as executors of their wills, trustees of their estates and guardianships, al-, though the custom at present is to use individuals for such purposes. Those who are thoroughly informed on the subject, understand the great superiority of Trust companies for such duties. Upon investigations of the records of the courts, it is found that about one-third of the individuals who have been appointed as administrators, or guardians, have failed to file inventories of their trusts as required by law, and about one out of ten have failed to make their annual reports. These conditions are the result of individual administrators or guardians being appointed who are either incompetent or negligent in performing their duties. A Trust Company can give better service for less compensation than an individual for the following reas-
ons:
First: A Trust Company does not get sick nor die. Second: Its charter is perpetual. Third: It is always ready to attend to business, with Its books posted to date, and always open for inspection. Fourth: It is always to oe found when wanted. Fifth: It has a capital stock and surplus fund, and its officers and employes are properly bonded. The courts of the United States almost uniformly recommend Trust Companies in all trust positions. Experience has demonstrated that they are more prompt, more accurate, and

OTHER CASES BEFORE THE COURT
There was little doing in the Circuit Court last Friday. The Judge was here only for an hour or so and was in the court room but a short time. About the only case of importance before him this morning was the petition of Mrs. Abbie Smithson for a divorce from her husband, Zack Smithson. The case grew out of the arrest of Zack some few weeks ago, on a complaint of members of his family that he had come home intoxicated and threatened their lives. Mr. Smithson did not appear in court to fight the divorce proceedings and the judge, after hearing the evidence, granted Mrs. Smithson a divorce and gave her the custody of the children. She also was given $200 alimony. The other cases acted upon this morning follow: Guardianship of Roscoe M. Hillis, by Martha J. Hillis; Sale reported and approved and cause stricken from the docket. Joicy I. Browning vs. Ann Talbott et al., partition: Receivers report received and approved, receiver discharged. James M. Wood vs. Scott Browning, damages; Case dismissed. Catherine Downing by her next friend May Downing vs. Louis L. Williams; Motion for change of venue granted.

CATARRH CURED
\i> Cure, No I’ay, is a Most Generous
< >ffer.
To get an antiseptic strong enough to kill catarrh germs and not destroy the tissues of the membrane at the same time, has been a problem which was never solved until the discovery of Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me). Hyomei is prepared from enealyptus, the most powerful yet healing antiseptic known. Breathe it through the inhaler over the inflamed and germ-ridden membrane four or five times a day, and in a few days the germs will disappear. The inflamed condition will go, too. and the snuffing, hawking and offensive breath, and the discharge of mucous and crusts in the nose will cease. Then why ohoiild any catarrh sufferer hesitate, when the Owl Drug Store and Bed Cross Pharmacy have such faith in Hymoei that they offer to return your money if after a fair trial Hymoei does not cure ca-
tarrh.
A complete Hymoei outfit, including the inhaler, costs $l.oo, and extra bottles, if afterwards needed, cost but 60 cents. Hymoei also cures asthma, croup, sore throat, roughs, colds or grip. MI-ONA Cures Dyspepsia. Your money back if it don’t. Gives immediate relief from heartburn, sour stomach, stomach distress and sick headache. 50 cents a large box at the Owl Drug S:or<> and ]{o.d | Pharma y.
