A Village Blacksmith
Saved His Little
Sons Life.

Mr.. H. H. Black, the we'll
known village blacksmith at Gra-
Evansville, Sullivan Co., n. Y,
says: "Our little son, five years
old, has always been subject
to Group, and so bad have the at
tacks been that we have feared
many times that he would die.
We have had the doctor and used
many medicines, but Chamber
1aln's Cough Remedy is now our
sole reliance. 1t seems to dis
solve the tough mucus and by
giving frequent doses when the
croupy symptoms appear we
have found that the dreaded Group
is cured before it gets settled. "
There is no danger in giving this
remedy for it contains no opium
or other injurious drug and may
be given as confidently to a babe
as to an adult. For sale by X. l..

Terrible Crime was
Committed
was
Holiness Preacher Murdered.

A man from northeast Rankin,
who was in town Monday, brought
the news of a tragedy recently
enacted in Leake county, says
the Brandon News.
Itseems that Holiness preach
er named Mills had been travel
ing through that section with a
horse and buggy, and one morn
ing last week he was found dead.
His horse had also been killed
and his buggy and outfit burned.
Who the perpetrators of the
crime were, or the motive, had
not been discovered, so far as the
meager accounts that have been
received state.
Whether he had personal en-
emies or whether his teachings
were obnoxious is not known, the
story being given as it was told
here.

A Love Letter.
My DEAR MISS c.:

Every time L think OF you, my
heart flops up and down like a
churn dasher. Sensations of un-
uterable joy caper over me like
young goats over a stable roof
and thrill me through like your
Spanish needles through a pair
of low linen trousers. AS a gos~
ling swlmmeth in delight in a
mud puddle, so l swim in a sea
of glory. Visions of ecstatic rap
ture, thicker than the hairs on a
backing brush, and brighter
than the hues of a humming bird S
pinions, visit me in my slumbers;
and, borne on invisible wings, your
image stands before me and |
reach out to grasp it like point
er swapping at a blue bottle fly.
Since the light of your face fell
upon my life, l sometimes feel
like l could lift myself up by my
boot straps to the church steeple
and pull the bell rope for the sing
ing school. Day and night you
have been my thought. When
Aurora, blushing like a bride,
rises from her saffron couch,
when the jay bird pipes his tune
full lay in the apple tree by the
spring house, when the awaking
pig arises from his morning bed
and grunteth and goeth forth for
his morning refreshments, and
when the lowing COWS come home
at milk time, then l think of thee
and like piece of gum elastic,
my heart seems to stretch clear
across my bosom. Your hair is
like the name of a sorrel horse
powdered with gold and the brass
pins skewered through your wa
terfall fill me with auburned awe.
Your forehead is smoother than
an old coat. Your eyes are glor-
ious to behold. Your nose is a
chunk of Parian marble, and your
mouth puckered with sweetness.
Nectar fingers on your lips like
honey on a bees paw. Your
laugh rings in my ears like a
wired harp's strain or the bleat
of young lambs on a bleak hill
side. The dimples in your cheeks
are like bowers in the heads of
roses or ho1lows in cakes of home
made sugar.
am dying to fly to thy pres
ence and to pour out the burning
e1oquence of my love as thrifty
housewives pour out hot tea.
Away from you l am as melan-
choly as a sick rat. My love for
you is stronger than the smell Of
Coffey's patent butter, or the
kick of COW, and more unselfsh
than a kittens first catermaul.
AS a lean pup bankers for new
milk, so l long for thee. You
are fairer than speckle pullet,
sweeter than a Yankee doughnut
fried in sorghum lasses. You
are candy kisses, raisins and
sweetened toddy all together.
If these remarks will enable
you to see the inside of my soul,
and me to win your affections, l
shall be as happy as wood-peck-
er on cherry, or stage horse
in green pasture. If you cannot
reciprocate my thrilling passion l
will pine away like poisoned bed
bug and fall away from the flour
ishlng vine of life, an untimely
branch, and in the coming years,
when the shadows grow from the
hills, philosophlc frogs sing their
cheerful evening hymns, you hap
py in another's love, can come
and drop a tear and catch cold
upon the last resting place of

A good lesson might be deducted
from the general conditions of pro-
hibition in this state. The anti
gambling law is the most stringent
prohibition measure ever enacted
into a statutory provision. At the
same time II fails Of the object of
its inception. The gambling vice
il is sale to say, is more prevalent
in Idaho than at any time in the
past. Larger sums are lost and
won; and men are seduced into
secret dens who would refrain
from more public practice. The
strict provisions OF the law enforce
rigid secrecy which seems to al
lure men to the gambling dens.
The law imposes the harshest possi-
biz penalties for the indulgence of
the crime and the prohibition evi
