Dodgeyille sun.

as the complaining witness ana |
stated that the charges had been |
preferred by him upon information |
which he believed to be true and |
that he personally knew nothing of
the matter whatever He had fur
nished the commissioners with a !
list of names of the parties from
whom he had obtained information
and they suhpoenied number of
those persons TO appear before them,
rejecting others on the ground that
they were insane patients whose
testimony under the law could not
be taken. The trial lasted three
days and as result Mr. Perkins
was entirely cleared from the charges
and it was clearly demonstrated that
the institution was being conducted
in a manr"l of which the citizens
of our county might we'll feel
proud The following from the

CLARENCE SNYDER,
President Board OF Control.
DoN'r do it, boys, you young
fellows who slip away from home
evenings and stay out on the street
loafng until in the night, or per,
haps till early the next morning
You are young, now, but the time
will come when you will wish you
had been careful of your health and
habits. And don't, please don't
stick miserable, sinking cigarette
between your teeth and puff and
smoke until your lungs become as
dry and brittle as a fried goose's
liver, your skin as yellow as a dried
lemon and your eyes dead and
watery as boiled onions. Don't
cock your little soft hat on one side
of your little swelIed head, and
start out in search Of red liquor. If
you DO, they'll bury you one of these
days, and they'll do it in a hurry
and bury you deep. If you want
to be a man, let drink alone. Read,
study, play marbles or ball, run
kick up your heels like flley
turned into pasture for the first
time in the spring, but don't pour
rotten, poison stuff called whiskey
down your throat.
And, above all, don't by word or
deed, add to the burdens Of your
mother; remember that she loves
you as deeply as when you were a
clean, white, little babe; though
you may now be slough kid who
everyone dislikes. She is not so
strong as she once was; the hand Of
time, maybe has touched her hair,
and left it grey and streaked where
it was once beautiful aud glossy.
Her step is slower than it used to
be. BE a man; respect her, live
right, and when she dies who loves
you more than anyone will ever
love you again, when the wasted ,
tired hands have been folded for
unbroken sleep there will 60 with
you sweet and tender recolections
like guardian angels along the
rugged road Of life. Now is the
time to begin to be man; don't
wait until you are ''grown up"
Are you in Want
of anything in the Furniture line?
! If 80, secure some bargains from
| Penhallegon's clearing sale.
Ir will pay you when in need of
