Don't Take Stock In 1t.

OF late there have been several
fings from supposed democratic
papers at Governor Stephens and
Chairman Cook for the evident pur-
pose of provoking quarrel between
these two representative democrats.
The people well understand that,
instead of party loyalty it is either
petty jealousy or personal grievance
which engenders these asinine as.
saults.
Gov. Stephens is good democrat
80 is Sam B. Cook. Their official
acts ought to be criticised, when
justified, in a candid way, but these
personal filings to stir up quarrel
between them is only little side.

Wedding Plans Disarranged by an Hyster-
cal Bride. II
Kansas City, Mo, December l6.-
Jesse Wall, young man who was
well-known in Independence, killed
himself year ago because be could
not marry the woman he loved She
was Miss Leona Corder, the dsugh-
ter of Jackson Corder. one of the
old settlers Cfthe town. Mies Corder
loved young Wall. and they were
engaged, but because they were first
cousins her parents would not con.
sent to the marriage. After learning |
that Mics Corder's parents would
not sanction the marriage, Wall shot
himself, willing his property to his
sweetheart. She was almost heart.
broken, and for scme months it was
feared that she might take her life.
Her parents had always favored
another suitor, J. Garland Webb, q
wealthy young man of Lafayette
county, who is connected with one
of the oldest families in Lexington.
They insisted upon the marriage
when Mr.. Webb asked for Miss
Corder's hand. He loved the girl,
and pressed his suit until finally she
consented, and the wedding was set
for 8 o'clock last night, at the brides
home in Independence.
| A houseful of guests and relatives
came to the wedding. 1t was to
have been an elaborate affair As the
hour for the ceremony approached
Miss Corder became i'll and finally
hysterjcal. The tragic death Of her
former lover had preyed upon her
mind till, upon the verge of the
climax OF her marriage to another,
she broke down completely. She
declared that she could not forget
Wall, and could never love the man
she was to marry.
Ten o'clock came, and the wedding
supper wa. served without the pres
ence of the b,ile or groom, and i
was fiaally announced that Mis-
Corder c3u'd no. leave her room

Free Cure For Men.
A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.
Claims to be Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.

| There Is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
| but sometimes a man so Overfiows with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery is known to the world, in order
| that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
pie that resident of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind pre-
scription which will cure them of any
/ form of nervous debility; relieves them of
all the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor. As
1t costs nothing to try the experiment it
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested in a remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
vigor. without which they continue to
live an existence Of untold misery. As
the remedy in question was the result of
many years research as to what combi-
nation would be peculiarly effective in
restoring to men the strength they need,
it would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such remedy at once. A re-
quest to Fl. G. Olds, Box 1922, Kala-
mazoo, Michigan, stating that you are
not sending for the prescription out of
idle curiosity, but that you wish to make
use Of the medicine by giving it trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
from.
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr..
Odds that he may know how you came to
write him.

A SMART LITTLE GIRL.
Mr. Reynolds to Pay Her 800 to Make
III i'm a Suit of Clothes.

The Orphans Friend, the organ of the
Oxford Orphan Asylum, says:
when the singing class left Green's
boro Saturday morning, Mr.. r. J. Rey-
nolds, of Winston. was at the station,
seeing them off. He had heard of the
talent of Mss Eugenia Tucker in the
use of the needle, and said to her that
he wanted her to make him a suit Of
clothes; would furnish the material, and
pay the sum of one hundred dollars. She
is anxiously looking for the material.
Little Miss fuckers Asylum friends
claim that she is wonder as a clothes
maker-that she is not only able to
make suit in frst-class style, but that
she can give an accurate fit without the
use of the usual tape line, depending
solely upon her eye for the measure
ments. After Mr.. Reynolds made his
offer, Miss Tucker took a good look at
his tall well proportional form, and
requested him to extend his arms.
"All right" said she. 81 have your
measure now"
As a test, Mr.. Reynolds put few
questions to her, as to his height, his
waist measure. ETC., and her answers
came promptly and correctly. The
material for the suit will be sent to her
in a few days"
