the fellow a long distance and finally
caught up with him and said, ''you

L had invited him to dinner. On my

Don't Be a Knocker.

John Eggleston, of New York
known as ''The Moral Ink Peddler,
has lately been advising his business
friends in print. Here are few ex
tracts from his advice card:
Don't be a knocker."
'Tf there's chance to boom bust
ness, boom it; don't put on a long face
and look as though you had sour
stomach. When d stranger drops in,
Jolly him. Tell him this is the great
est town on earth-and it is. Don't
discourage him by speaking i'll of your
neighbors. Lead him to believe he
has at last struck place where white
people live.
"Help yourself along by becoming
popular and push your friends with
YOU, It's dead easy. Be a good fell
low and soon you'll have procession
of followers. No man ever helped
by knocking other people
down in character and business. No
man ever got rich by trying to make
others believe he was the only man in
town, or the only man in town who
knew anything. You can't climb the
ladder of success by treading on 9TH
ers' corns. Keep off the corns-and
don't knock.
you're not the only pebble on the
beach.
s"There's no end of fun yeu can have
mindiaa yeuI own business. 1t makes
other people ike you
Nobody gets stuck on a knocker-
ssDon't be one"

Died

At her home five miles south of Ogal-
lab, Mrs. Jane Wheeler, wife of l.. s.
Wheeler, aged Ga years and 1 month.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. /. n. Goodwin of Ransom, form
er pastor of the Christian church of
which she was an active member.
The deceased was one of the early pio-
neers of this place. For many years
she was a great sufferer from asthma
Five weeks ago she was thrown from
buggy and received injuries, which
together with her old trouble, hasten
ed her to her final home. Through all
her suffering she patiently bore her
pain, and often remarked that she
was ready and willing to go if the
Lord so desired.
She leaves a husband, son and two
daughters to mourn her loss
She was a true and faithful wife, a
loving and devoted mother. kind
and obIiging neighbor, loved and re-
sDected by all who knew her.
Dearest mother; thou hast left us,
And thy loss we deeply feel.
But It's God who has bereft US.
He can all our SORROWS heal"

stricken with paralysis from which he

he was taken sick and death ensued.
Wednesday. He is a member of G.
A. X. Post II, and the burial will be
in greater part, conducted by that
order.
Candidate Bryan, knowing that he
is defeated, begins to let himself
down by charging the Republicans
with bribery and intimidation. Chair
man Jones, of the national Democrat
ic committee, requests the faithful to
report to him all cases of attempted
bribery, etc. 1t is good thing and
we are glad to help push it along
With this idea in view, we desire to
bring to the notice of these eminent
gentlemen the fact Chat prominent
candidate near the head of one of our
county tickets, was recently cut cam
vasslRg for votes, and incidentally left
a bran new overcoat at q house where
he called to solicit the support of a
prominent voter, an old soldier. In
advertently he also left neat little
sum of money in pocket of the coat.
Both were returned to the prominent
candidate. We think the Democratic
committee should know of this 'tcor-
ruptionr but it is likely that Mr..
Jones will do nothing in the case be-
cause the prominent candidate is not
a Republican and the prominent voter
always has been. However, Mr. Bry-
an might reprimand him for such
a careless way in handling campaign
funds:
