Tennessee VS. Tamarack

A story has been foarIng about for
several days TO the effect that Thomas
Roberts, who lives near Plymouth, has
suffered again in lard trade, this time
the land being IN Tennessee.
The truth OF the matter appears to be
that last winter Wesley A. Rhinehart
and A B. Personett. both we'll known in
Plymouth. got into a real estate dicker
wherein Rhinehart was to trade some
Marion, Ind. town lots for tamarac (
march of 371s acres in Union township.
this county. neither property having
much value. This led to the mention
by Mr.. Rhipehart of tract of 80 acres
10 Tennessee for which he held a
warranty deed. He told Personett that
he had seer the land and knew it to be
worthless. but deal was consummated
and Personnel accepted quit claim
deed for the land and appeared to be
satisfied with his new acquisition.
This tract was passed on TO Frank
Hawk. OF Union township. who was told
that 1T was not worth a dollar but who
took it nevertheless. and he traded it to
Roberts. giving quit claim Decd None
OF the parties ever saw the land, except
Rhinehart. until Mr.. Roberts went
down to inspect bis purchase and found
1T to be just as Rhipe chart had represent
ed-utterly worthless. Roberts, sup
posing that no land anywhere in this
rich realm could be worth much less
than two dollars an acre. gave $500 for
the tract, insight and unseen, and he
now wants his money back and is trying
to find out just who is responsible for
bis undoing.
Ii land is. worth having it is worth
seeing before the deal is made, but Mar
shall county land is good enough for any
man. There is many go acre tract in
Tennessee that is worth lees than 371z
acres of Union township tamarack
swamp with mortgage on it.

The readers of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all it's stages and that lie
catarrh. Ialls catarrh cure Is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
ional disease. requires constitutional
treatment. Halls catarrh cure is taken
internally acting directly upon the blood
and mucous sulfsces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease. and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in DOING it's work. The
prorrietors have Sc much faith in it's
curative powers, that they offer one
hundred dollars for any cas-, that it fails
to cure.

sEAsoNABLE SUGGESTIONS.

PrOstrations from heat here. as il
other cities. some OF them fatal, are q
warning that should be needed. They
ought also to be an admonition to fuller
enjoyment of this most beautiful time oil
the year. We have popular talk about
the ''swelteriug weather" and about
there being mo relief from this tropical
temperature" and so forth and so on.
This indicates fussy state OF mind that
is not conducive to health, whatever the
temperature, and it is something in the
nature of ingratitude for weather that is
most beautiful and healthful il we
would receive it rightly. For one thing.
people do not as a rule dress properly
for warm weathei. We still cling TO our
northern origin, and it is hard for US to
be rid of wooens and furs and dark
colors in our clothing. Generations of
Eeglishmen 10 India have not learned
Inc art of proper dressing: the English
men there still parboil their flesh with
heavy clothing, while the native lives il
comfort. So we have ourselves to blame
for improper dressing. High collars and
high shoes; dark clothing and overmach
wool bring needless discomfort,
In our food also We are almost as in
flexible. Nature to a degree prevents
this by providing fruits in their prime
for this time of year, but still we go on
consuming soups, beef end other heat
ing meats. The average American per
haps would be appalled, at the PROPOSE
tion of doing away entirely with meat in
hot weather. and yet the strongest races
physically in the world live on rice, with
at most little mutton and fowl now
and then. IL We would take a lesson OF
the people that really live in hot
climate for large part of the year we
should quickly be able to put ourselves
10 physical condition that would en-.
able as to bear the summer.
For specific caution one ought to avoid
hurry and worry and to maintain an
equable temper to be careful in eating
both as to quality aud quantity; to avoid
meats as much as possible. substituting
fish and Fowl; to eat lightly in com.
parative sense; to avoid strong stimu.
lants-coffee and tea are the best fol
hot weather. With a little care and at
tention in keeping with these sugges
tons one may pass through the very
hottest weather not merely in compare
tive comfort, but with enjoyment. The
summer is the time Of year when nature
provides her own medicines in the heal
that puts the skin IN the best condition
and in the fruits that purify the blood

Dut es on Porto Ricnn Goods.

Washington, June 2S.--In answer to
letter from the secretary of the treas
ury making inquiry as to the authority

rARsaMosY VS. PRoDIeAIIrY


Now .aaS beginning is to be made in
paving tie principal streets ofPIymouth,
unless an Injunction should unfortunate
ly be interposed. it behooves all the peo-
pie to interest themselves in seeing that
the work is properly done. 1t would be
most regrettable il the mistakes from
which other cities have suffered should
be repeated here.
A cheap job may save little outlay
in the first instance, 1t will newt
ably cost much more an good job in
the end. True economy lies between
parsimony on The one side and prodigal-
ity on the other. and economy is always
productive of the best and least disap-
pointing results. Besides the matter of
the original construction of pavement
there are questions concerning the life
of the improvement. its cost of mai1ten-
ance, repair and cleaning, its sanitary
conditions, protection against noise,
facility OF traction, and the like,
and these should be iudiciously regard
ed.
An insufficient foundation is the mis-
take that many cities make in their first
experiments with paving and 1t is the
most expensive error that can be fallen
into. II seldom occurs twice in the
same city but there is always some one
who never saw the experience elsewhere
but who knows more than thoss who
have seen it and who will argue long and
loud for cheap foundation. II that
sentiment should prevail here the pave
Inent will certainly be relaid before it is
paid for and property owners will be
twice taxed.

coming from church discovered her,
burned almost beyond recognition, but
still conscious. They carried her T. the

ing. Neighbors then gathered at the
bedside and sang hymns until Mrs.

burned from her face, she feebly
joined in the singing until she lost

Washington, d. c., April 2.-It was
said at both the White House and War
Department that absolutely nothing
had been received by the government
regarding the alleged unearthing of
crooked work on the part of army
quartermasters and others in Luzon
and the arrest of a number of persons
in and out of the army for stealing
property of the government or receiv-
ing stolen government property. Cen
eral Corbin said furthermore that the
government had no intimation of any
sort that such developments might be
expected. He was inclined for this
reason to think the frauds against the
government could hardly be so serious
as reported though admitting this
opinion was based wholly on the lack
of advices from the government. Cap
tain Barrows, he said, was not the
regular quartermaster for Southern
Luzon, and must have been acting
quartermastcr there at the time of the
arrests.
