Dangers Of the Season.


The sudden change in weather in the lat
ter part of winter and early spring are a
source of colds and coughs. This season is
a particularly dangerous one for persons
with weak lungs or of delicate corstitution.
A slight cold is likely TO become a serious
one, and the cough that follows is the one
great cause Of the many deaths from CON
sumption in the early spring Never ne
glect a cold or cough. Keep a reliable rem.
edy on hand and check the first cough, that
may lead to consumption. As such rene
dY the medicine called Kemp's Balsam is
strongly recommended. For every form of
hroat and lung disorder, including the ia
grippe cough, Group and consumption in
rst stages, it probably has no eqbal any
where. Get a bottle to-day.

Stole and Butonered a Hog.

A hog escaped from G. H. Money at
the Milf rd Creamery last Monday and
ran down the New Wharf road until it
came to the humble hut Of Jesse Scribner,
a crippled negro, where it was seen to
run in, but from that time to this that
hog disappeared from human sight. A
watch was kept on that place, and on
Monday night several witnesses heard
the hog squeal A search was made
around the premises aud the entrails of
the hog were found floating in the river
near by. On this evidence a search war
rant was taken out and Scribner's home
ransacked. Blood in large pools was
found II der his shed floor, but the floor
had been scrubbed clean and no further
evidence was obtained. Scribner was ar
rested on suspicion, and soon confessed
that the hog was killed and skinned at
his place. He attempted to implicate
Bob Holland and John Fisher but evi
dence against them could not be OBJ
tanned. Jesse was held for hearing in
court next April. THIS place has been
a harbor for suspicious characters for !
long Time, and when Dredden the chicken |
thief was caught, he gave the police |
pointers which indicated that Scribner's |
place was the headquarters of the gang. |

most interesting one, and will afford the
