FrRr-The alarm of fre MondaY

seems that Mrs. Narlan was Dolllng
lsome clothes that had paint on them,
when neighbor advised her to put
q few spoonfuls of gasoline into the
boiler to loosen the paint. Acting
upon this advice she poured about
half a tinini of the fluid into the
boiler, which caused il to foam and
run over on the hot stove, and inn
mediately ignited filling the kitchen
room with flames. The FIRE was
soon extinguished but Mrs. Yarian
was badly burned ON the left hand
and on her rightarm up to the elbow.
her throat was also severely scalded
by inhaling the hot steam. At this
writing she is getting along nicely
and is past all danger. 1t was a
narrow escape for Mrs. Yarian as
well as for the property.
A visit to the grocery stores Sat
urday night revealed the fact that
many people do their trading on
credit, paying up after each pay
day. Here is where they mako a
mistake. If they paid cash for their
goods they would get them cheaper
land more of them for their money.
Cash always buys more than credit,
as every one knows who is in bust
ness. Then why not make your
money go as far as possible by pay
ing it down for whatyou want, and
must pay sooner or later. Besides
when you buy on credit you buy
more goods than You would if you
paid the cash, for it is easier to run
an account, but when you pay cash
you contrive to do without many
things before paying out your
money, and are just that much
ahead. We hope to see the day
when the pernicious credit system
is done away with altogether 1t
will be better for the merchant and
much better for the buyer. Try the
cash plan awhile and see if you
don't save money by the operation.

ernor has interested himself in the
case and has caused letters to be
sent to the Prosecuting Attorney of
the various counties in the State,

Hon. Lon T. Pilchard, of this coun-
ty, asking for information in regard
to the person wanted.
a FRUTH.-The press endures the
Affections of deadheadism from the
bar, stage, churches, society indi-
viduals and corporations. 1t is ex-
pected to give strength to the weak,
eyes to the blind, clothes to the
naked, bread to the hungry, etc. 1t
is asked to cover up infirmities,
hide weakness, wink at quacks,
bolster up all dull, snap headed
politicians and fiatter the vain. 1t
is, in short, to be all things to all
men; and if it looks for any reward
it is denounced as mean and sordid.
There is no interest under the whole
heavens that is expected to give SO
much to society without pay or
thanks as the press.
When your shoes squeak, go to a
shoemaker and have him put peg
in the middle of the sole, and there
will be no more loud proclamations.
Another thing. when you buy a
pair of new shoes and they hurt you,
put water in them and let it remain
for minute, then pour it out, and
if your shoes burn or hurt you after
that, Won can saw this is wrong.
