GRACE LEAVES GRIER CITY.


hoNtAAttpeNs
For several days past reports haye been
current i'm town that George Leitzel, Jr.,
formerly of this town and now engaged in
the hotel business at Grier City, had been
victmized by his wife that she had disap-
peared suddenly with several hundred
dollars belonging to her husband The
woman is known as Grace in town Few
people know her last name, or in fact much
about her, except that some time ago when
George was in Reading his father sent for
him to take charge of the latter's hotel in
town. George complied with the request
and brought Grace with him to do light
work about the hotel. Some time after
George, Jr., started in the hotel bust
ness in the Catlwissa Valley and at about
that time it was publicly announced that he
and Grace had become man and wife. Later
George, Jr., secured the hotel at Grier City
and until the reports referred to gained cir
culation nothing transpired leading to a
suspicion that the reported marriage was not
as sound and joy producing as the majority of
unions which have been made during the
same period
On the old-tme theory that where there is
so much smoke there must be some fire a
HERALD reporter undertook to ascertain
what circumstances existed for the reports
and has succeeded in tracing through n CON
| fidential source a very much mixed up state
| of affairs.
1t appears that the woman has disappeared
and that George Leitzel, Jr not only claims
that she took $3.50 belonging to him, but he
adds the surprising statement that, although
the newspapers have declared the marriage,
and he at one time has stated that the cere-
mony was performed by Justice, and at
another time that minister of the gospel
made the union, the truth is no marriage
ever took place. Letzel claims that he had
5000 in trunk at his hotel and after the
woman left but $3.50 was left. He says a
friend of his has informed him that the
woman has been seen in Reading.
There are people who believe that being
unduly excited at the time, Leitzel has
allowed some eXaggerations to creep into his
story. Their grounds for this belief are
that it is singular the woman only carried of
$3.50 when she could just as easily have
taken the whole amount and that if such an
amount was taken it is strange no attempt al
arrest has been made, especially in view OF
the fact that the woman has weakness fol

seen there since her disappearance from

GRIP IS EPIDEMIC
Whole Families Stricken and Many Deaths
Reported.
Nearly Every Third Person Suffering Win
Cold, Which often Results in Grip,
Pleurisy or Pneumonia

Colds lead to coughs, coughs to grip, pneu-
monia and consumption; therefore, it is all
important to check a cold before it reaches
the lungs. Munyon's Cold Cure will posi-
lively break cold inside of twenty-four
hours if taken as soon as the cold manifests
itself. When the cold reaches the lungs or
bronchial tubes the Cough Cure should be
used alternately every half hour with the
Cold Cure. The Cold Cure is guaranteed to
prevent pneumonia if used in the beginning
of a cold. Pneumonia or inflammation of
the lungs can be controlled by the use of
these two cures
The Cough Cure positively cures bron-
chitis, tickling in the throat, hoarseness, loss
of voice, soreness of the chest, difficulty in
breathing, hacking cough and all pulmonary
diseases where the lungs are not too far de-
composed or covered with tubercles.
If you are ailing step into the nearest drug
store and get a csc. vial of one of MunyOn $
Remedies. No matter what your disease, or
how many doctors have failed to cure, it will
give you relief

this be true it is grave news for the Brit

THE COUNTY FARM.

1t appears to be an annual custom among
eve of the appointments made at the county |
almshouse, to picture the alleged mismanage-
ment Of that institution in as unfavorable
light as possible and the present is no excep- |
tion to the general rule.
The Directors of the Poor being public
servants, and the almshouse an institution
supported by funds from the county treasury,
are subjects properly within the scope of
criticism by the press and people. 1t is to be
regretted, however, that one or two of our
contemporaries are influenced by ulterior
motives in their adverse criticism of the
present Board of Poor Directors, and are not
actuated by that Independent spirit generally
attributed to the honest newspaper critic.
Whatever may be said against the other
members of the Board we have yet to hear
one word against the character or honesty
of the retiring member, William Derr. His
record, so far as we know, has been above
reproach, and he retires from the position
with a clean record.
The investigation to be inaugurated by W.
j. Whtehouse, Esq, the present legal ad-
wiser Of the Poor Directors, by which he
threatens to lay bare to the public gaze the
inside history of the management is taken
with grain of salt by the public In his
speech at the banquet given in honor of
Steward Hartman's birthday, the Solicitor is
reported to have said that "he had striven,
with Mr.. and Mrs. Hartman, to inaugurate
reforms that would have resulted in a
material saving but was baked at every
point; now he had the courage and, in con
junction with Mr.. Hartman was about to
begin one Of the most sweeping movements
for reform that has ever been thought Of"
The remarks Of the Solicitor sound very
WE'LL and any honest movement in the
direction indicated will meet the hearty
approval of the taxpayers But why this
]
months to pick up 'the courage" to instigate
the reforms he refers to? When w. John
Whitehouse launches into the reform bust
ness, the Civil Service Commission will close
up shop and retire. Investigations caused
by factional jealouses will never accomplish
the desired end. Past experience has shown
this very plainly.
1t is generally acknowledged, we believe,
that certain reforms are needed at the aims
house. The recent visit to that institution by
members Of the State Board of Charities has
brought to light a state ofatiairs that should
not be tolerated. Their opinion of the mana
cement is anything but complimentary, and
they threaten general investigation of the
institution. Such an investigation would be
productive of much good and it would be
thorough and impartial. Our news columns
yesterday gave the result of their recent
visit, and it was freely commented upon.
If the almshouse is to be investigated, lei
the State Board of Charities take the matter
in hand. They have the authority, and not
being interested in the appointments ol
otherwise concerned in the reorganization Of
the Board, their inquiry would be exhaustive
and impartial

81 do not believe that there was ever any
general condemnation Of your order by the
church, although individual Bishops may
have misinterpreted your constitution. The
genius of the Roman Catholic church is in en-
tire harmony with the genius Of this republi-
can government and the spirit Of the church
is in harmony with its free institutions, / do
not use these expressions as an individual for
the Sovereign Pontiff has expressed to me
personally that these declarations are in
accord with the Holy See'
