Bold Chicken Thieves.

Last Thursday night about 9 o'clock
Mr.. w. S. Rowe, who lives on the e.
T. Licklider farm about quarter OF a
mile west of town, heard noise among
his chickens. He ran out and saw a
man after the chickens in tree. He
called to his wife to bring his gun,
when the thief dropped from the tree
and deliberately fired revolver at Mr..
Rowe, making no attempt to run away.
Mr.. Rowe was so amazed at the bold
ness of the rascal that he stood still IN
his tracks for time then he made
use of some language, and, grabbing
up a stick of wood, rushed at the
rogue, who thereupon ran away with
his partner who was nearby. Next
morning 38-calibre bullet was found
in wagon bed near where Mr.. Rowe
was standing when fred at. The ball
had gone through the side of the wag-
on bed and dropped inside. The REG
1sTER last week told of a bold raid on
Mr.. Magruder's chickens. The farm
ers around town will do well to ann
themselves and shoot to kill.

With a better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-plessant efforts
rightly directed There is comfort IN
the knowledge that so many forms OF
sickness are not due 20 any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated eondi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why il is the only
remedy with millions of families. and IS
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health It's beneficial
effects are due 70 the fact, that it Is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which II acts. It's therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase. that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists. -
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and tie system is regular, then Taxa
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease. one
NAV be commended TO the most sl1llful
physicians, but If in need OF laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syrup OF

CALLED HOME.
Our Old Residents Passing Away-Oeatn OF MT
William Fletcher Kearney and Others'

Mr.. William Fletcher Kearney died
at the home of his son-in-law, Mr.. W.
Manning Lemen, about four miles west
of ShepherdstOwn, last Friday night,
aged 70 years and two months. He
had been in failing health for long
time, and gradually grew weaker until
death came. He was conscious of his
approaching end, but met the king OF
terrors with tranquility that could
only come from the knowledge that he
had made his peace with his God. His
death was caused by cancer OF the
stomach, and in accordance with his
desire post norton examination was
held by his physician, DR.. A. s. Rey-
nolds, assisted by Drs. Grove and But
Ter. He said that ifa thorough knowl-
edge of his case would prove any bene'
fit to humanity he was DESTROYS that
his body should be used. The funeral
was held Sunday afternoon IN the
Southern Methodist church, and was
conducted by Revs. F. a. Strother and
A. A. P. Neel. The remains were IN
tered in Elmwood Cemetery, and were
followed to the grave by one OF the
largest funeral professions that has
ever been seen in this place. The
church was crowded to the doors by a
congregation that had gathered to pay
their last tribute of respect to the man
they SO greatly admired and respected.
The deceased is survived by one daugh-
ter, Mrs. W. Manning Lemen, of this
vicinity, and by brother, Mr.. Adrian
Kearney, of Iowa.
Mr.. Kearney was one Of the best
men we have ever known-a kind,
amiable, Christian gentleman ofwhOm
no i'll can be spoken. He had the un-
bounded respect and confidence of all
who knew him, and his exemplary life
will long be remembered in this COM
munity. He was a devoted and con-
sistent member of the Southern Meth
odist church, and his wise counsel and
generous contributions will be greatly
missed. He was loving father, a
good neighbor, a sincere friend-a man
who deserved and received the esteem
of those who came in contact with him.
Faithful to his Lord until death, he
has gone to receive the reward of the
righteous.

In 0Iden Times

People overlooked the importance OF
permanently beneficial efectsand were
satisfied with transient action; but now
that it is generally known that Syrup
of Figs will permanently overcome
habitual constipation, well-lntormed
people will not buy other laxatlves,
which act for a time, but finally injure
the system.

New Road Proposed.

Mr.. George W. Osbourn and a num-
bel of farmers and others living below
town are circulating petition, which
will be presented to our county court,
praying for the location of a new road
by which the steep hill at Mrs. Pierce 81
a half mile east Of town, may be avoid
ed. Pretty nearly everybody inter-
ested is signing the petition, which
ought to be granted without hesitation
The proposition is to leave the old road
where leagues run empties into the
river, and make new route by grad
ual ascent to a point east of C. W.
Shows residence, aud then west by
way ofshow's lane to Main street near
the Lutheran and Reformed clutches.
The route is practicable one and not
costly. The road ought to be made.
