Decoration Day at Hickory.
A PATRON.

Not since the observance of the first
Decoration Day in our Nations history
was the day so completely dedicated to
the memory of our dead as it was at
Hickory on Saturday last
Although the weather was not eneour-
aging, yet the people ventured forth with
one mind and heart, to do reverence to
our Nations dead, and honor to them
selves. Every graveHwhere lays hero
of the past, within the limits of our Post,
was suitably decorated and the cemetery
at Hickory was one mass of beautiful
flowers.
The Orator of the Day, Rev. j. E. Hill
lard, delivered an eloquent address, "the
best 1 ever listened to-" said many. Not
all knew how Zig we are, until they
learned the fact from that address.
After dinner nearly three hours were
devoted to recitation by the young folks
which frequently brought storms of ap-
plause. There were about forty that re-
sponded to the bugle call. These recita-
hons frequently moved the vast assem-
bly, to tears. How they carried us back
to those dreadful days of 1915. Those
young people deserve more than a SIM
pie notice like this, but where shall we
begin to do them anything like justice,
and then where shall we end the story
due to all. They live to-day enshrined
in the memory and heart of every boy in
blue, as we'll as in every true American
citizen.
The music. both vocal and instrument
tai, was of the best, but we have more TO
say for Hickory: None of our young
people INDUCED in anything that would
disgrace themselves or throw blight
over the memories of the day, no dane
ing, no horse racing and no ball games
were INDUCED in by them on that day.
In this fact our young friends stand head
and shoulders above many other COM
munities who perhaps desire greater re-
nown. To those who indulge in those
things on Decoration Day we say take the
little town of Hickory for your example
and be consistent on that solemn dav
hereafter. %.

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

MANKIND. b.
There Is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes a man so overfows 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 -deryous debility; relieves them of
all IKE doubt and uncertainty which such
msn are peculiarly liable to and restores
,-the organs to natural size and vigor. AS
it 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 IOF SUCH remedy ut once. a re-
quest to FL. @. 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,

| 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 1his out and send TO Mr..
Olds that he may know how you came to
write him.

STEALING GOLD IN The kLO NDIKE
Many Ways by Which the Tricky Miner Adds to His Days

A STORY Of THE ONVHEE).


The wagon crawled slowly over the
hot. dusty road. The grass was short
and burned. Off in the distance were
the OwYhee mountains Dim and blue
they looked against the clear, cloudIess
SKY; but the faces that peered from
the covered prairie wagon saw only the
WHITE road stretching out before them,
saw only THE sage covered plains over
Which the heat was palpitating like a.
living thing.
From somewhere within there came
waiting cry; then was heard a woman
voice soothing q fretful child, the tones
were low and patient, but oh how
tired. The mans face contracted with
a look of pain and a flush came to The
dHo-low cheeks. while his long bony
hands clirlched upon the reins that had
been 50 loosely held, till the veins stood
out like whipcords
BY his side sat a girl. Her hands were
hard and brown and a limp calico sun
bonnet, Which was half on. half off her
head, revealed ain old-young face. She
was perhaps Is years old. but The eyes
that rocked SO bravely from under tlle
Old wagon cover might have found a
fitting place in the face of the man be-
side her.
AS -.hie cfnild's voice again broke the
stiffness, the man moved uneaSily; the
girl looked UP and her mouth drew into
d tig,-.ened line

The father was silent and Nanny said
no more, but her hand stole on to the
mans shoulder and rested there with a.
caressing touch.
At last the hot day wore itself away
and the chill Of the evening air fell
upon them. 1t had been an October day

cold air which seems to sweep down

the course is finished they are exam

He knew he was being robbed right and

that his fellow worker was storing
away chunks of rich ore. but Hite was
an easy going chap, well satisfied with
his returns, and he never made the
slightest protest.
When Hite got out a certain sum he
closed up the mine and abandoned it,
although it had given no signs of ex-
haustion. Later on syndicate took
hold of it and made it pay richer than
it did under the original owner.
When Hite was managing it it was
not an extraordinary occurrence for
the miners to leave with so and 40
pounds of good ore slowed away in
their clothes and with their dinner pals

JIM CAREY, THE ROBBER,
Bad, Reckless and Resourceful All

Little Rock, Ark-Jim Carey, Who
is now confined in the Van zant
county, Tex, Jail on a charge of bur
glary, is probably the most desperate
man, certainly the most desperate
young man in the United States.
No Jail win hold him. Handouts of
the latest design are of little more in
convenience TO him than a Kid glove
would be; iron nanacles drop from his
ankles. and steel locks and iron bars
cannot detain him. He does not know
what fear is and human life cuts no
fgure with him when that life stands
between him and freedom.
Carey is only % years old, a, mere
boy as he now appears. with smooth
shaver face, tolerably handsome fea-
lures, and a keen, bright eye. His soft,
white hands adds to his boyish appear
ance.
He bears little resemblance to the
hard looking character, dressed in
rough clothing and wearing a soiied,

with a growth of hard, bristle-hke
beard, who was landed in the Jefferson

: In February, 1896, the only bank in
Che town of Warren was robbed. The

and escaped Avery stood between the

Warren is z country town of about

into a town of that size without at

We're three men with three horses
