Bring your feet with you and have

sense Shoes" is the way Pittsburg
dealer advertises. 1t is good phrase
and one which attracts attention. The
man who succeeds in advertising in
such way that people read his adver-
tiSement is the one who draws trade
to his store as sure as magnet draws
needle to itself. Study up quaint,
pithy or witty phrases to head your

David Evans. of Columbus, while on
visit to Patrick Carroll in KenOckee
one week ago last Tuesday, was struck,
by lightning tearing piece out of his
boot and sock and burning his foot
quite badly. y ball of fire came in
through the open kitchen door where
Mr. Evans was sitting, doing the dam
age stated above, thence passing into
another room where it lodged in one
corner and burst. The floors in the
rooms were torn up and other damage
done to the house. James Brown has
the boot and sock worn by Mr.. Evans
at the time of the accident.
\ new counterfeit is in circulation
consisting of a ten cent piece which
so closely resembles the genuine that
it is easily passed. 1t differs from the
usual counterfeit in that a genuine sill
yer plating covers the German silver
which forms the body of the coin.
This gives it a ring very nearly like
that of good money, and also does a.
way with the greasy feeling, by which
most counterfeits are detected. The
coin bears the date of 1887. The mill
ing is not SO deep on the counterfeit
and the edges are much sharper than
those OF the genuine dime.

bound express was within two miles of

his head nearly severed and otherwise
badly mangled. The remains were con-

the Wesley Burns farm, now owned by
Terrance Monahan, where he has lived
only short time. We understand the
circumstances in the case to be as
follows: AS the train was approaching.
Mr.. Spring walked from the corner of
the fence and deliberately stepped upon
the track in front of the moving cars.

The Remington school. district No.

number of the parents and other friends
were agreeably entertained for few
hours, listening to recitations, readings
and singing by the pupils. The pro-
gram adopted was carried out with even
better success than was hoped for by
the friends. "Gone with a handsomer
