Calls Herself Carrie Nation.

A crazy colored woman landed at
Rives Monday evening over the
Illinois Central from some point
below. She carried a large Bible
under her arm, and calls herself
Carrie Nation. She stated that
while it was the mission OF the
Western Carrie to smash saloons,
that her graft was smashing sim
ners. The signal light at the
crossing of the Illinois Central and
the Mobile 4 Ohio railroads is on a
small platform some twenty feet
high, and reached by a ladder.
Mounting to the top of the signal
light, the colored Carrie Nation
began to call on sinners to repent,
and soon had a large crowd of Gu
rious spectators. Constable Hollo-
way hearing that at some town be-
low she had a pistol, and not know
ing but IN her crazy frenzy she
might use it, invited her to come
down. In reply she extended him
an invitation tc come up Jacobs
ladder, which he was compelled to
do before he could induce her to
come back to terra firma.
The officer brought her here and
landed her in jail, where she was
placed in the corridor and smashed
nearly all the window lights before
it was thought necessary to place
her in a cell. She will likely be
declared insane and sent TO the
Bolivar Asylum. Banner Cores

Rounded Up A Thief.

City Marshal Adams has just
reached the end of piece of detec-
tive work which reflects much
credit upon him as an officer. Last
summer some one stole several
pairs of mems trousers and two or
three suits Of clothes from the ex-
press office, at this place. There
was no clue; but after investigating
the case. the officer decided that
Wash Woods, a negro employed at
the Office was the thief. He en-
deavored to get a confession from
the negro. who maintained his in
nocence and offered to carry the
officer to his house and show him
what he had in the way OF clothing.
But when they reached the home of
the suspect, Wash went out the
rear door unexpectedly and that
was the last seen of him in Union
City. In the meantime the officer

Gently informed Mr.. Adams that he
had bought the pants from Wash.
After that he came across several
of the stolen articles. The owners
claimed to have bought them from
Wash. which proved him the thief.
Nothing more was heard of the
missing negro until the other day
when the Marshal learned that he
was in the Hickman Jail, having
been sent from Fulton for some
misdemeanor. He instructed a
railroad friend to call at the Jail and
see about Walsh who was slick
enough to have big yellow negro,
exactly different in appearance,
come out when called tor. When
the railroad man reported to Mr..
Adams he knew something was
wrong, so last evening he went over
to Hickman, and found Wash board
ing at the expense of Fulton Coun-

is easily secured, he is bound tor

Perhaps one of the strongest
links which bind husband and

God breaks one of those little gold
en- links which binds the hearts

derby. In such way Jesus came
to the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
Johnson last Sunday afternoon and
said: s'Suffer Little Son (for such
little It. ]. was familiarly called)
to come unto Me. While on earth
He took little children in His arms
and blessed them and He still gath
ers them in His arms and carries
them in His bosom. Just four
years ago in March had the little
one been making glad the hearts OF
his parents and loved ones, and at
ter several days suffering from con-
gestIon of the brain he passed
away.
Devoted parents, he is still yours,
and where your treasure is may
your hearts be also.

"Take care of yourself" say our friends.
'I'n try to-" we answer. We do take little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
inhammations and COMPOSITIONS, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have cold on the chest, place q Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. II you think two are needed
make 1t two. No harm if you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau
ton as to exposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form Of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis
tinct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip Oback and chest) and all sim
liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer-
ers from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.
