AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
DISCOVERY OF MOUND FASHIONED
TO RESEMBLE A GRAVE.
Alleged Mystery Explained by Police
Scarcity of Game-Attempted
Larceny Alleged.

A grave was discovered Friday on a piece
of clearing at the edge of what is known
as Thompeons woods. just north of the old
dam at Lyons mills and on the west bank
of Rock creek. The discovery created con-
siderable excitement in the neighborhood
1t was rumored that gang of colored men
engaged in crap shooting had quarre!
among themselves and one of the number
was killed and buried by his companions.
This theory was, however, all knocked in
the head by an investigation of the police
Saturday. 1t was ascertained that the teIe-
graph linemen had dug a hole at the spot
for the purpose of erecting a pole, the loca-
ton of which was subsequently removed.
The hole was filled in and a mound of
earth left over it to give the appearance
of a grave. and q stick was placed atFwhat
was supposed to be the head, to make it
the more realistic.

dozen partrdges, six wild turkeys, about
the same number of snipe, and some squir-
rels. Most of their game was brought

A local hunter stated to Star reporter
that the scarcity of game around this por-
ton of the District need not cause any
wCnderment. He says that there are 100
many hunting parties who traverse every
foot of ground and kill all game in signt.
He stated that on Thanksgiving day he took
a walk in the county northwest of George

When q preparation has an adver-
tised reputation that is worldwide, it
means that preparation is meritorious.
If you go into store to buy an article
that has achieved universal popularity
like Cascarets Candy Cathartic for ex-
ample, you feel it has the endorsement
of the world. The judgment of the
people is infallible because it is i'm
personal. The retailer who wants to
sell you something else" in place Of
the article you ask for, has an ak to
grind. Don't 1t stand to reason? He's
trying to sell something that is not
what he represents it to be. Why?
Because he expects to derive an ex-
ira profit out of your credulity. Are
you easy? Don't you see through his
little game? The man who will try
and sell you substitute for CASCAR-
ETS is fraud. Beware Of him! He
is trying to steal the honestly earned
benefits of a reputation which another
bustness man has paid for, and if his
conscience will allow him to go so far,
he will go farther. If he cheats his GUS
toner in one way, he will in another
and it is not safe to do business with
him. Beware of the CASCARET sub
stitltor. Remember CASCARETS are
never sold in bulk but in metal boxes
with the long tailed "C'' on every box
and each tablet stamped G. G. c.
