ABSOLUTELY PURE
A Ripe Old Are.

James Haws, of Haws'X Roads, was
eighty three years old last Thursday.
Though he had recently passed through
q severe spell of sickness, the restora.
ton of health and lively spirits gave a
keen zest to the enjoyment of the cele.
bration of his birthday. Sixty of his
immediate relatives were present and
the time before and after an elegant
and elaborate dinner was spent in
"reminiscences and conversation incl
dent to such family reunions. There
were gathered under the old roof tree
four children, twenty five grand chill.
dren and nine great grandchildren.
Among the company was a lady over
eighty years of age, Mrs. Mary Brown,
and Mr.. Haws recollects her father,
grandfather and great grandfather.
He knew a man then who lived at least
n hundred and sixty years ago, and
with his own offspring his knowledge
covers seven generations. Mr.. Haws
is the father of Harrison Haws, the
stock dealer and grandfather of j. H.
Epps, of the law firm of Deaderick and
Epps, of this place.

Killed on the Track,

Last Saturday evening, about 4:30,
Mrs. Whitehorn, an old lady who
lived in the east part of town was
struck by an engine drawing the east
bound passenger train, and instantly
killed. She had been on the opposite
side of the track from her home and
was returning and was just in the act
of stepping off the rail when the engine
rounded a sharp curve, too close for
the engineer to prevent an accident,
and met her death. She evidently
failed to hear the approaching train
and could not save herself. She was
about seventy five years old, and was
feeble. Her remains were buried last
Monday.

on account of my official relations to

to the Republican voters necessary.
But the chief reason why l have not,

Not TO BE TriGel With,

Will people n~everlearn that a "coldr
is an accident to be dreaded, and that
when it occurs treatment should be
promptly applied? There is no know
ing where the trouble will end: and
while complete recovery is the rule,
the exceptions are terribly frequent,
and thousands upon thousands of fatal
illnesses occur every year ushered in
by u little injudicious exposure and
seemingly trifling symptoms. Beyond
this, there are today C Cuntless invalids
who car trace their complaints to

The Strength Of Building and Loan As.
sOciatiOns.

Every day new evidence is given US
that National Building and Loan AS
sociations are forging to the front
among financial enterprises. AS origi-
nally planned, they were only for the
wage earners, who were enabled thro'
them to win n competency and a home
by persistently saving a small portion
of their earnings. During the last few
years, however, the scope of these as
sociations has been broadened, and the
larger investors are beginning to appre-
ciate the advantages of such institu.
titions. The fact that over 83t per
cent. more money is invested in Build.
ing and Loan Associations than in 1896
National Banks, gives an idea of the
magnitude of the business and the
enormous amount of money at com-
pound interest, both for the classes and
the masses. The figures given in the
ninth annual report of United States
Labor Commissioner Hon. Carroll d.
Wright, are worth the study of any
person who is not convinced Of the
beneficial results to be derived from
Building and Loan Associations. The
secret OF this greatest financial success
known to history is organization and
co operation. According to Brad
streets commercial reports, the Coop
erative Banks of the United States,
better known as Building and Loan
Associations, have a paid in capital Of
over 5000, 000, 900, more than $500, 000,-
900 more than all the National Banks,
and over half of the monetary system
of the United States, which. in coin,
paper currency and uncoined bullion,
is only about 81, 200, OOO, 600.
Investigation of the methods adopted
ny Building and Loan Companies to
ascertain the values of property on
which they loan money. and the kind
of security required, show that marked
conservatism and sound business judg.
ment have been used in placing their
monthly incomes. In the first place,
they only make loans on improved city
or town property; second, they always
require a good margin of security, so
per cent of a conservative cash valu.
alton being the maximum amount
loaned. This gives absolute security
against any s~hrinkage resulting from
depression in financial circles or depre.
citation in the value OF the estate.
Third, the borrower is continually re-
ducing his indebtedness by periodic
payments, while the security remains
the same.
We have been informed of some in
stances where parties have attempted
to defraud by giving fictitious values
to property by a~ssociating with them.
selves the representatives of some com.
mercial agency in their respective city
or town. The conservative companies
have thwarted this movea and protected
themselves by restricting loans to those
places where they have local bQads, or
by sending direct their own appraiser,
upon whose valuation they then de-

presided over the meeting when 1t be-
gan, but having no leave to attend the

took the chair. John w. Irish of Cali

Bragg was in favor of bolt from the
platform and ticket, if the plans an
nounced by the silver men were carried
out. He did not believe that the con-
vention displayed Democratic spirit,
and he was therefore of the opinion that
good Democrats could with honor and
credit denounce their work.
Franklin McVeagh of Illinois and
Delegate-at-Large Coudert of New York
were of the same mind. although the
latter was careful in expression, while
McVeagh spoke of even leading the con-
vention. Ex-Gov. Russell of Massa-
chusetts agreed to the adoption of the
resolution, but would not commit him
self.
Gen. Bragg would speak very briefly
he would not support the ticket. He was
for a new ticket.
Cultivate of Ohio and Holden of Ohio
were in favor of the resolution. Ohio
would go 10000 away from the usual

BOIES BOOMERS ARE MAD
Seven Delegates Cast Their Ballots for
Senator Hill
The Action Is Generally Looked Upon as q
Stab Under the Ex-0overnor's
Fifth Rib

CHICAGO, July ITO say that the
Boies boomers are merely angry at the
action of the seven members of the Iowa

seven who had their votes recorded for
Hill were disciplined tonight by the re-
manning members of the delegation. 1t
is said that four of the seven are gold
men, the other three being straight 16 to
l. Some of the men who voted for Hill
acknowledged that it was mistake and
were very sorry that the break was
made. The scouts and skirmishers who
came in from the various delegations
since the convention adjourned report
that the action of the seven men was a
stab under the fifth rib for Boies. They
say that in some delegations they heard
it asserted that the break in Iowa was
disastrous to Boies and that ut is all
up with Uncle Horace" Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the entire twenty-six
votes were cast with the silver majority,
the Iowa men feel that the effort is very
disastrous and say that hereafter with a
silver chairman, a poll of the delegation
Will not be allowed. Some of the Boies
workers state that they have been met
at other headquarters with the remark:
How do you expect to win when your
own state is not solid for your candi-
date?"
1t is said by the Boies men that the ac-
tion of the Iowa delegates who insisted
upon a poll of the delegation and voted
against a silver chairman was a viola
tion of an agreement and that they might
as we'll have voted directly against Boies.
Your own men are not for him." said

interest of Boies, how do you expect us
to be for him or support man who loses
