the strength, rack the nerves, paint lines of

make the once bright eyes dull and the once
active brain sluggish, and transform viva

which is being operated by D. G. West.
Mr.. W. came to Clay county from
Mitchell last April, and owing to his
quiet conservative manner has not
become very widely known in our
neighborhood, his extensive farming
operations demanding his undivided at
tention. On recent return trip from
Mitchell he found pocketbook on the
road between Marion Junction and
Hurley. Mr.. W. upon his return de-
posted the purse, which was found to
contain S35 in money and some papers,
in the local bank and instituted 8
search for the owner by advertising in
the Monitor and Hurley Herald and by
correspondence. On the 10th he re-
ceived letter from the herald saying
that the owner had been found. On
last Monday he returned the pocket
book by express to the owner just as be
had found it. For this Mr.. w. has
earned the reputation of being an hon
eat man and the gratitude OF the owner.
Clay county has room for more such
men as D. G. West.
