Notice

Their is more catarrh in this secti on OF
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years it
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced 1t a
local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies. and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Scienc has proven catarrh to
be q constitutional disease, and, there
fore, it requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. }. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, Is the
, only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally, in doses of from ten
drops to a teaspoonful, and 1t acts directly
' on the blood and mucous surfaces Of the
1 system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case 1t fails to cure. Ser for

Philip w. Atkinson Is we'll known all
over this county. While he possesses q
remarkable fondness for the "gentler
sex" married life has not been with HIM
very felicitous. Atkinson was divOr.e ed
from his first wife in October, last, after
having lived with her many years, and
rearing O large family. Cruelty and
mistreatment were alleged by the first
Mrs. Atkinson, and as a nominal defense
was entered, she was released from the
bonds Of marriage. Philip then planted
an a advertisement in the INTELLIGRNCER
for a wife. This was answered by ladies
from a dozen states, and Canada. He was
finally married to Mrs. Belle Harrison, OF
Higginsville. But Philip was a member
of the Methodist church, and the laws oil
that church do not permit a man tC
marry, after he is divorced, unless that
divorce was granted on scriptura
grounds. Cruelty not being a goOC
cause, from a Biblical standpoint, PHILIP
was brought to trial in the Oak Grove M
T.. Church. lie did not appear for trial
and was expelled from the church. III
has now, through Whitsett & Hammer
of Sedalia. brought SUIT for damages
against Jacob Neff, Jacob Callett and w
II. Divers for libel. He alleges that the!
libeled him on the twenty-third day o
last November, by writing a letter to J..
Hedges. The language to which h
objects, and upon which he bases his suit
is as follows: "And we do hereby charg
him (Atkinson) with living contrary I
divine law, having put away his lawfr
wife, and is now living in adultery an'
, unscriptural cohabitatiOn." Atkinson

4 Biuff That Was Called Down In e Most
 uumiilatIng Manner.

4 Biun That Was Called Down Tn c Most
 illuminating Manner.
 Tho following story is told of Timothy Coflia, who was for long time judgo of the New Bedford district: When very young man, he was retained in case of sufficient importance to bring out almost every resident of the town, so that the little New Bedford courthouse was packed when court was opened that morning. Coffin had been secured as uouusel by the defendant. Although it was his first attempt in open court, he lad made little or no preparation, think ing that he could get through somehow or other when the time came. Thus, when the counsel for the defendant came into court that morning, he was greatly surprised, and no less 0gitated, to see the big crowd and realize the wide public interest in the tri at hand He saw that he bad looked upon the case too lightly, The prosecution was strong, and Eo had made not even Il slight prep. arati0u.
 To lose the case meant the loss of a hoped for reputation, Could he afford Co commit this blunder by displaying his ignorance of the case? How could heget out of i,? These were few of the ques- tious that are known 10 have flashed through the young lawyers head, for afterward he himself told of the awful perpleSity of the hour Being shrewd inventor. he devised plan. As soon as the court had been called to order and the orier had said his little say he arose and asked for postponement of the trial, ou the ground that he had just re- ceived telegram announcing the sud den anu fatal illness of his mother, who resided at Nantucket.
 Scarcely bad the words of this appeal proceeded from tine lips of young Cofiin, when an elderly woman quietly arose in the balcony of the courtroom and gave utterance to these words. Timothy, Timothy, how many times have chas- tised thee for lying?
 Timothy recognized the sound of that voice only too well. It was that of his mother This being Timothy first pub lie case, the old lady had secretly come up to New Bedfor,l to sec how well her son would do. Her presence was of course totally unknown to him. The further developments need not be record ed here. Suffice 1t to say that Timothy Coffin in after years made sure that his excuses would not be thrown back at him by any member of his own family Boston Herald.
