HEED BROWNS BIG BARGAIN AND p2N'T
GET LEFT.
Farmer Brown Having Tried Some "f
the Cotton Seed Meal and ERullS nS
n Cow Food. Calls Su His Ncislt-
bor Jones 10 Tell Kim About II.

Good morning JoneS-1 thought | would
come over and tell you The news.
Brown-Wcil, sir. was going down to town
the other day and met our friend Smith,
who had n load OF cotton seed hnlls and Il few
sacks of the cotton seed meal which he had
got at the Oil Mill. and which lie said he was
going to iced his cows on. SO while was i'll
town | thought would go over TO the mill
and have Il talk with the manager about
them; rs, to tell yon the truth | had my
doubts about the STUFF being good for cows, or
anything else to eat, but sir, I hadn't talkc
with that fellow two minutes TIL he convinced
me that 1t was the best feed III the world :"r
cows.
Joncs-So the upshot Of it was you traded
for q lot of them?
Brown-Oh, yes; took them down q cnu-
pie Of loads OF wood and brought home u load
Of hulls and sack of the meal. and tell you
Sir can see big difference in my cows al
ready.
Jones-I have no doubt of it. hut let me tell
you: what you have told me is no news Ia
me- that Is, | knew before that they were ali
that was claimed for them, as l have been
feeding my COWS on them for some time.
Now let me tell you something that perhaps
you hadn't thought OF.
Brown-Whars that?
JoneS-Why it is this: The oil Mil wont
run more than two or thlec wr"NS longer. us
at the rate they are grinding up the >ec,i t.!cil
supply will be used ~ in ;50ut that iiiir. -

Brown-Iour heads level, Jones' N"n'i
say ans thing about II, aud as yOn una are
both drawn on the jury ioi next wick, sup
pose we just pay for five or six tons Il piec'
and then we'll be all y. II.
JoncS-Ail right. I'll want at least that
many hul!s and abouta ton of the meal. a
have three head OF milk cows, and i wan,
enough 10 do them until The mill begins run
ming again next Fall.
Brown-Well / wont want that much mcaI
as / have only two milk cows, but will want
at least four or five tons OF hullS, as under.
stand theyare the best kind OF thing to put IN
the drills when you plant Irish potatoes and
TO spread oyer them after they come up, and
also over strawberry beds, as they keep the
grit off the berries.

4 STRAY PISTOL SHOT.
Mr.. Jn'ncs Tm%Gart Painfully and
Seriously Hurt.


Last Saturday night Mr.. James Taggart Of
our town was hit IN the leg brlow the knee
by pistol bail. The hone cut the ball in
Two, one half going In the bone and the resi-
passing round The bone, lodging in the flesh.
and was ciit ont next morning.
sir. Taggart thinks lie was hit by Il stray
ball, while sitting on the park fence, or stand
ing near by. He fell on the grass and lay
there he docs not know how long. but it was
nearly daylight when some colored neopIe
discovered him. lie had been heard for n
long time but no one seemed TO think il
necessary to investigate until finally Nancy
WardlaW. Il colorrd woman who lives near
ana a coiored man went TO his relief, and car
rieu him home. lie was unable to walk. Dr.
III was sent lor. Upon examination he was
found he seriously wounded. DR.. Mabry
was called in consultation. Upon probing
the wound they thought that half OF the bali
was in the hollow or the bone A surgical
nreration was deemed necessary. Dr. ]. W.
Widemam and DR.. r. 5. Cochran OF Due West
Cason. and DR.. Game of Abbcville assisted
Dr. Hill and DIR. Mabry in trcphining the
bone IN search for the bail. 1t had passed up
The hollow OF the lcg, and when the bone was
opened IL was discovered that the ball had
passed entirely through the bone and into
Tic flesh.
The patient last night was doing well. but
with great nausea and vomiting from the
effects O! the chlOroforIn 1t is now hoped
that he will recover without further trouble.
except the long delay iu bed which will be
necessary. Mr., Tagsart is one OF the best
mechanics in all this country, and worked
until ten O'Clock OF the night on which he
was hurt.
Whenever we have fires or accidents it
seems that newspapers take an opportunity
TO give wholesome lectures and we presume
IL would not be amiss to lecture tic town
council in good humOrcd way. 1t seems
that II they would pass an ordinance against
carrying pistols in The streets, and then in.
Struct the town marshal 10 use proper dill
Sencc in enforcing tho law, that accidents,
like that which occurred 10 Mr.. Taggnrl.
would not happen. To hear pistol shot at
night is not an unusual occurrence. II our
people did net carry pistols, the lives of limo.
ccut citizens would not be endangered by
careless handling Of fire arms Nobody be.
Iieves that anybody intended TO shoot Mr..
Taggnrt. But an accidental shot hurt him
none We less because it wac an ilcciGenl.

young people receive first communion
at st. Columbia church on Sunday
morning. Every seat in the vast build
ing was occupied, and the organ loft
was crowded with people. Dean keat-
ing read the mass and choirof young
ladies from the convent school sang
appropriate music. When the time
had arrived the applicants took their
stand before the altar railing. The
girls all wore white dresses, wells and
wreathes, and the boys were dressed
in becoming suits of black. short
prayer was recited by Miss Gussie
Murphy for the girls. and Joseph
Pierce for the boys.
Dean Heating impressed upon the
minds of the applicants that they were
about to receive gift from God
namely, 1.-The body and blood OF our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ'-and
consequently should praise God for his
goodness. The sacrament was then
administered.

ENDED WITH A GUN.
Paul Heine Perforates Himself With n
Pistol ball.


Paul Heine. a young German, EN-
plOyed, until two months ago, as a
bartender ut the Washington house,
on Main street, committed suicide at
I o'clock Monday morning by shoot
ing himself through the breast with a
3S-calibre revolver, The ball entered
between the sixth and seventh ribs,
cutting off the arteries behind the
stomach. and lodged against the skin
at the back. from whence 1T was re-
moved by DR.. Weiss.
In less than ten minutes after the
shot was fired Heine bad breathed his
last. Deputy Coroner Weeks EN-
paneled a jury and verdict was re-
turned in accordance with the facts as
stated above.
Heine had been hopelessly i'll with
CONSUMPTION and abdominal dropSy
and had been told three months age
that he could not live through the
summer He had recently received d
letter from his sister, living at his
home, Weimar, Prussia, saying, in
answer to request FOR money 10 sc
home. that she could not aid MN a.
his mother was i'll, and this, together
with his hopeless condition ana lach
# funds, made him very respondent.
He had purchased a self-actlng
3S-calibre American revolver and boz
of cartridges, the latter being founo
in his trunk. Under the bed was the
revolver. He had been confined to his
bed about week, and, from the
position in which he was found, must
have arisen from bed, opened the
trunk and, Selling the revolver, shot
himself in a standing position, as nj
had fallen against the wall of thu
room, "A small affair on the first floor
In his trunk were found two gooC
suits of clothing, underwear, "A few
cigars and photograph of his sweet
heart, Lizzie knnch, of Blue Island
Ill. An honorable discharge from The
German army, dated 1884, was als(
found among his belongings. He was
born in Weimar Prussia, June Il
1859, and was nearly 81 years old. H'
was a splendid looking man, one whose
face would have attracted attention
in any assemblage.

The city of Aurora. after dallying a

The city of Aurora, after dallying a
while with private companies, finally
decided herself to contract ana own
her water werks. The mayor, in his
annual address the other day, gives
the following as the result: THE
city water system has Lis water
takers, yielding revenue of SIC, SPLIT,
which pays all the running expenses
and about $4,000 of interest on the
bonds, leaving less than $4,000 for the
water supply of the city, for fire pro-
lection and city uses. The private
company which wanted to put in a
system Of water works here was TO
charge $50 year for each hydrant.
As we have $50. hydrants, they would
have cost $4,000 year." These fig
ures are suggestive and should be care
fully conned by our city council before
yielding to tempting offers, by which
it is every now and then besieged by
private companies to give the city a
system of water works.
