any other, and wants heavy damages
assessed. Woodstock people think that

yield to it no longer, but have their
own way.

"Wanted to Brace Up.n


A person registering as DR.. Conant,
of Alabama, presented himself to the
clerk at the Avenue House one day last
week, and said he was sick had the
liver complaint; one lung was half
gone; had the bronchitis and heart
disease, and was threatened with the
meningitis, and wanted something to
"brace up" on but he failed to get
"braced" at the Avenue House. He
was kept there over night and the next
day he was more successful in supplying
his wants and he dOctored his COM
plicated diseases until he was not sure
which one had the best hold on his sys-
tenn but he was able to reach the noon
train east, over the p. & o. r. R., on
which he took his departure. A day or
two after he returned, and the last we
heard of him he was in the hands of the
sheriff.
