A Fine Barn.

The Macon Times, speaking of barn
being built at Macon by Col. Blees,
well known in Mexico, says:
The new barn being constructed by
Col. Blees will be completed this
week and turned over to Col. Blees
for his private use. 1t is one of the
finest buildings in this part of the
state and no doubt the finest barn in
the state outside of the large cities.
There is over $4,000 feet of lumber in
the building and it is the very best
that could be bought on the market.
1t took $4,000 shingles to cover it,
over % 200 feet of ceiling and nearly
10000 feet of weatherboarding. The
inside is finished with hard pine and is
oiled and vanished. A granitoid floor
covers nearly all the carriage depart
ment and the stalls and feed way are
finished in the very finest style. The
barn will be heated by steam and will
afford all the conveniences of modern
usages. The building was planned by
Ed. McVicker and the carpenter work
was superintended by Green True, as
sisted by Reuben Warner, Frank Rod
gers and Fl. E.Newton. A nice grant,
old walk passes the south, east and
north of the barnyard and makes a
most beautiful appearance. The yard
is being graded and will be leveled up
and seeded. The building will be
lighted with electricity and is build
Ing that Col. Blees should feel proud

Clark did Not Kill Anyone.

The report that Charley Clark, for
merly of Mexico, had killed a tramp
who had robbed one of his brakemen,
was a mistake. The st. Louis Repub-
tic, referring to the matter, says:
Two men boarded an empty freight
car on the Wabash at Baden Wednes-
day night and rode as far as Fergu-
son. Here the brakeman discovered
them and entered the car to eject
them. The two stowaways promptly
feyeled their revolvers at his head
and commanded him to throw up his
hands. While one held gun at his
head the other searched him.
The car in which the hold-up occur
red was near the end of the train and
the rest Of the crew knew nothing
about the matter until the conductor
saw the robbers jump out of the car
and run up the junction road. The
conductor fired two shots at the dis
appearing figures, and one OF the
men responded with a shot. The
brakeman lost his watch and a small
amount of money.

HAS A PERFECT EAR OF CORN
Pennsylvania Farmer Makes a Find
Which Brings Him $1,000.

An ear of corn which Patrick Cullen
believes to be worth a small fortune
is being carefully preserved by that
individual, who recently found his
prize on Farmer Upright's place at
Marion Square, Montgomery county.
To the ordinary city man there is
really nothing remarkable about the
ear of corn. Its kernels are not of
solid gold, nor are there any diamonds
concealed about the cob. Its value
lies in the fact that somewhere at some
time or other some agricultural socle-
ty offered a reward of 81 900 to any
one who would find perfect ear of
corn with the kernels growing in an
uneven number of rows. 1t has
always been found that the rows are
even, say 10, II or IA, to q cob. This
ear which Patrick Cullen found, how
ever, Shows 13 rows around the butt
and II around the middle of the cob.
Many farmers to whom Cullen showed
his prize assured him that the ear was
as perfect as it could be-, and that it
was really curiosity. Cullen is now
looking for the agricultural society
which offered the 81, 900 reward.

The Haverhill Gazette, now in the
front rank of newspapers, stands for
the journalistic ability of one man.
John b. Wright impressed his strong
personality on the paper from the day
that he secured control.
His accurate sense of news and
steady judgment of men and events
has built up the Haverhill Gazette to
its present newspaper leadership of
northern Massachusetts.
Editor Wright's long and brilliant
work on the Boston Herald, as chief
of department of especial writers, %
has all been utilized in the building up
of this successful newspaper. 1t will
surprise no one that getting out big
newspaper, like the Gazette, morning
after morning, and year after year, in
the heat and smoke of fierce political
conflicts, should entail great mental
and physical strain.
Incessant work told on Editor
Wright; but because he made use at
once of Paine's celery compound, he
Is o-day fully restored to his old-t time
forceful, vigorous habit of mind and
body. He says of this great remedy:
Haverhill, Mass, Oct. 8, 1917.
Gentlemen-It is with great pleas
ure that bear testimony to the bene-
fetal results which almost invariably
follow the use of that king of all reme-
dies-Paine's celery compound. AS a
tonic, free from deleterious material,
it has, to my way OF thinking, no
equal. This remedy is a positive boon
to all nerve e-wrecked men of business.
1 unhesitatingly commend it to all
persons who are, as was, thoroughly
worn out.
Very Truly Yours,
JOHN B. WRIGHT.

Glandered Horses Slain.


The Herald is informed that CLAN
ders broke out several weeks since
among the horses of Hank Lyons, on
the ]. M. Baskett farm, in southern
Rails county. Veterinary Martin, of
Perry, was sent for az soon as the dis
ease was discovered, who pronounced
it glanders and ordered strict quar-
entine.

EARTHQUAKES IN KANSAS.
Shocks Felt at Pratt and KingmaI
Did No Serious Damage.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. Especial:
from Pratt and Kingman, Kan, hal
way across the state and near the
Oklahoma boundary, say slight earth
quake shocks were felt at these places
last night. No damage appears to
have been done.
At Pratt distinct shock was exper.
fenced at 1858. 1t was not severe
but strong enough to cause furniture
to rock and dishes to rattle. The
disturbance lasted about three Sec
onds.
The shock at Kingman was felt at
1 a. m. Vibrations were from north
to south, lasting ten seconds. No
damage 80 far as known.

Palne's celery compound creates a
wholesome demand for food, and
cures disordered stomach and cos
tive bowels.
For all ailments and weaknesses
that have grown out of defects of nu-
triton, such as nervousness, loss of
strength, thin and pale blood, loss Of
weight and Iowness of spirits, PaiDe's
celery compound is the legitimate and
logical cure. 1t overcomes loss of
nervous power and lessened power to
digest food, by generously feeding the
nerves and regulating their action. 1t
banishes that continual tired feeling
by cleaning the blood of clogging i'm
purities, and by stirring the kidneys
and other purifying organs to health
full activity.
Paine's celery compound has cured
many and many cases of dyspepsia,
sleeplessness, disordered liver and
stomach trouble that had puzzled
physicians, and the outcome of which
seemed hopeless.
Many obstinately dyspeptic persons
have gotten rid of every distressing
symptom by it's invigoratlng help.
Grave general defects of nutrition
that have shown themselves in a
wasted condition, weakness and loss
of strength have repeatedly yielded
to the remarkable remedy.
The worn face that attests loss of
sleep soon loses its haggard appear
ance as the nervous system gets nour-
ished by Paine's celery compound; the
accumulation of aches and pains van
ish, the blood grows ruddy and abund-
ant, and the mind shares in the we'll
being felt all over the body. Paine's
celery compound should be taken by
every person ''run down" or nervous.

TIBURN ISLAND cANNIBALs.
A Party of Gold Hunters Will Take
the Chance of Massacre.

SAM ANTONIO, Texas, Dec. "A
party of four hardy Texas frontiermen
left here last evening on an exploring
expedition to Tiburn Island, in the
Gulf of California. The island is the
home OF the Seris Indians, who have
never permitted the exploration OF
their island. They have murdered
number of parties who have at
tempted to land there, their latest
crime being the massacre of the entire
crew of vessel and the eating of the
bodies of the murdered men.
The exploring party who left here
consists of G. Ii. Busse, Edgar john
son, H. E, Stevens and John Reider.
They go to hunt for gold on the island
and state they will find what is there
or die in the attempt. They took
along large supply of guns and am
munition. They expect to reach the
island in about twenty days.

He Liked Oysters.

The best joke our reporter has
heard this week is on one of the g. &
A. construction men. He is an orig
inal Mexico man and boards at M. F.
Hamlett's. At the supper Wednes-
day night of last week he ate five
dishes of fried oysters, and this is how
it happened. Some one had told him
he could get all he could eat for 25
cents. In fact, he could at the gen.
eral supper table. But he preferred
oysters and took a seat at the oyster
table. 1t took just FIVE dishes to sat
isfy his hunger. When he got through
he offered quarter in payment, but
was told his bill was quarter plus
one dollar. He paid it. Now, the
~ other men on the road call him
"Oysters." A fact not to be over
looked is that he ate hearty supper
at Mr.. Hamlett's to begin with.
But he is a Mexico man.
