improved--OId Plan Abandoned.
The plan of changing the route of
the branch railroad from the b. & O.
yard ~ The quarries of the Standard
Lime and Stone Company near this
city, from down Water street to cross
Tieman's hollow connecting with the
main line near the Bull Eye bridge,
has been dropped The company now
has under consideration running the
railroad over the ground on which
the two old buildings on the COM
Dany's property near the passenger
station now stand and reducing the
grade at that point by cut, extend
ing from the main line to Burke
street.
This plan would do away with the
steep grade at the station and, with
other improvements to the present
road bed, would cost much less than
the proposed new route around by the
Bull Eye bridge. After the road is
Strengthened and raised at several
points many more cars could be haul
ed over il at time by an engine.
The plan will likely be carried out.

Dear Sir: Your house no matter

man you know prescription
Your State Chemist knows all about
Devoe has analysed it; reports it
pure; will analyze it occasionally.
He buys it wherever he likes-it is
generally in the best paint store in
town.
You know what the color and dryer
are for; do you knowswhat the lead
and zinc and oil are for? Not being
a painter, You may not choose to
know; but we'll tell you.
Lead and zulc and oil combine to
form a rubbery WATERPROOF coat to
keep ont dampness. That's the whole
business.
The oil would do it alone lead and
oil would do it, without the zinc I;
zinc and oil without the lead but
the three together are best, because
they wear best.
We say to YOU get a painter, as
we'd say to him get doctor-every
man to his trade. Can't all be paint
ers and doctors; don't want to.
You will be more successful in a
prosperous looking house; and he in
good health. Take good care of one
another.
Yours truly,

We look into a cradle and be- hold a male child. At the age of ten he is a noisy kid, with half the buttons off his pants and an eye for meanness. At the age of 15 he's devil in a printshop; at 25 the publisher of country newspaper; at the head of every enterprise calculated to improve the town or enrich the business thereof; at 35 he is an emaciated and worn out man, with holes in his pockets and bald head. At the age of 50 he is corpse in a cheap coffin, and his only re- sources left behind are two cases of long primer type, a Washing ton hand press and a subscrip- tion book with 500 delinquent subscribers, who line up and march past the coffin saying,
 He was a public spirited fellow but he couldn't save anything" |-Elensburg, Wash, Dawn.
 Yesterday Friday) our friend Col. John Shearer received box by express. His old time curi- osity at once overcame him and he had to call on MT. J. H. Beidle- man to open the box and what do you suppose? The box contained the finest lot of tomatoes we have seen in @ number of years. On top of the tomatoes was a card stating Presented to John Shearer, but there was no name attached and no clue within to in dicate the donor. MT. Shearer had the whole News crew to throw light upon the subject but without avail. The entire outfit and the devil gave it up as bad job. MT. Shearer is very much puzzled. Some say the pack age came on the east bound train; others think it arrived on the west-bound. This latter view, MT. Shearer is inclined to be- lieve. Now, in order to relieve MT. Shearer of his anxiety and and suspense, we would kindly ask the sender of that package to inform the News or MT. Shearer.
 Last week merry party com posed of Dave Burkett, Emmett, George and Bob Smith went to Fair Oaks on a hunting expedi- tion especially for deer" Our
Woodruff County news., 1901-11-02

friend Elvis Kidd was to have gone, but on account of his faith fitness to his duty at the livery stable, he was compelled to de. cline. Before the party took it's departure, however, he told them that if he were to go, he would not take a gun, but he would take rope and lasso the scoundrels so that he would not run the risk of dulling his knife when he went to carve the deer. The fact is he likes deer better without lead. This lassoing of deer is all o. K. for man of MT. Kidd's ability and expe- rience as cowboy on the plains of Texas, but for such men as the others of the party, who of course had not had the broncho experience, had to resort to the more violent instrument, the gun. And if some of us McCro- ryites had heard Bob Smith and Dave Burkett shooting at the same deer, we would have thought Q good size -gatlin- gun had turned loose. The funny part was, after these two Dan iel Boons" of the forest had slain the deer, they examined the cause by which the deer had died. Only one bullet hole could be found. Each of the two marks man claimed to have been the one who did the work. An inquest was held over the lifeIess form of this unfortunate deer and a yer dict rendered that the deer is dead. The death of said deer must have been caused by the bullet hole in the head, but for want of sufficient testimony, the murderer could not be appre- hended. It is hinted around that Dave Burkett and Bob Smith between them are responsible for the death of the aforesaid and same. We will await future developments. George Smith, Dave Burkett, and Bob Smith were bound over for killing one deer each, and Dave and Bob have both another one charged to them. Four were slain in all. They report having had an excellent time. If MT. Kidd had been there with his lasso they would no doubt be there yet taking lessons in the art.
