Mr. Albert Shocks, who has been visit
ing his Brothers and Sisters and many
friends of this place and vicinity, started
Tuesday for Sterling, Kansas, where he
expects to make it his future home. AL
bert has not persuaded any one to go west
with him, but has given words of encour-
agement to many of the young men that
there is far better chance in the west
than here. Albert has many friends and
young associates in these parts, and he
receives well wishes from them all.

Some evil-minded boys, not having the
fear of future punishment before their
eyes, attempted to whitewash the barber
shop at the corner of Pearl and Broadway
on Saturday night. They did not pause,
however, to mix the whitewash. They
just dumped half barrel of lime down
the steps. There was lots of white" but
not much "wash." Chew will make a
"home run" on some of those boys yet.

While the plumber was at work in the
Jail on Monday, he left file laying
where the prisoners could see it. One of
them, Patterson, the man who got out on
the day the Jones boys escaped, took a
towel and fiirted it over the end of the
file and jerked it towards him, securing
it. The workman missed the tool, search
was made, and the file found secreted in
the prisoners cell. At least, so says one
who ought to know whereof he speaks.

A person not acquainted with the
boundless resources of the Jackson hills,
and seeing the seemingly endless string
of loaded coal cars on the Ohio Southern
side-tracks, would probably wonder
where all the coal came from. The road
is hauling coal away as fast as possible,
yet it is not uncommon sight to see
strings of cars, loaded with coal, reaching
from Tropic Furnace up through James
town, awaiting shipment. And "the half
has never yet been told"

Yes, we are all confident as to its out
pme." That the trial will come out,
we have not the faintest shadow of a
doubt. 1t is the manner of the outcome
that is concerning us. We are all friends
to the end that we want justice done him
And If justice be done him, the farmers
of Jackson County need have no further
fear that he will lead gangs of murderers
to their homes to murder them for thei1
hard-earned money. Yes, we are all
friends-wen all be at the funeral, if "the
worst comes to the worst"

BY MOTHERS REQUEST.
Her steps are slow and weary,
Her hand unsteady now,
And paler still and deeper
The lines npon her brow;
Her meek blue eyes have faded,
Her hair has lost its gold,
Her once firm voice now falters--
My mothers growing old.
Oh, mother, fond and faithful,
Thou truest earthly friend,
May be near to soothe thee
Till all thy struggles end.
Those dear hands, pale and wrinkled,
Are now by time controlled.
They rest in prayerful quiet
Dear mothers growing old.

No Grease for Him.

"When Greece her knees-Greece her
knees-Greece her knees" stammered an
embarrassed school-boy, forgetting the
next line of his recitation. "There is no
occasion to grease anybody's knees"
shouted his teacher. "Go and study your
piece" Neither is there occasion to grease
your hair. Parker's Hair Balsam is all
the dressing you want. Restores the
original gloss and color to gray or faded
hair. Does not soil the linen; not a dye;
good for the scalp; prevents falling out.

in short time became one of the most

is White Hall stock, and that he can trot

scrub, but we beg leave to inform the

horses are about extinct even in this Sec

this was about the last "White Hall" we
saw here. Still much of the mettle and
speed of the old white Hall" may have
been preserved in his descendants. Jones
claims to be skeptical on these two points:
that the Jackson County horse can go in
2:09, and that he is now four years old,
and sired by horse which has been dead
for twenty years. There may be slight
error as to the figures, but the horse re-
