panied me continually and were. often
badly infiamed. 1 also had queer, dizzy
feelings in my head almost continually.

out milk or cream for a few weeks. and
not relishing my coffee clear left off its
use. In a short time l was surprised to
find my eyes greatly improved, and l felt
better in every way, still did. not mis-
trust the coffee, and began it's use as soon
as we got cream again. Within few
days my eyes were worse than ever. Then
/ resolved to quit coffee absolutely and
take up Postum. This / did and my eyes

in a complaining way. My head hurts
me. and they won't let the doctor see IT, l
have to attend to 1t myself.
Yes, 1 am sorry about it, he said In
answer to a question about the killing.
But he hit me over the head and knock

In discussing the killing he always hast
ems to Justify himself and dwells for the
shortest possible time on whether or not

strongly believed Wells will make plea
for life on the ground of insanity; that
the lick he received on the head crazed
him. ..
In Justice to the Jail authorities 1t should

only a slight one. If the place needed med

~. BECOME AN OIL KING

Secretary of state Phil Cook may be
an oil king in a few weeks. OIL has pos
itively been discovered on. his Lee county
plantation and within the past week he
has received many letters from northern
capitalists asking for options on the
land and several have offered to buy it
outright
Mr.. Cook has declined these offers. and
will proceed to further investigate the
oil discoveries. The plantation owned by
Mr.. Cook consists of 1900 acres and it is
said the oil signs can be found on nearly
any part OF the place. There is a fish
pond, the pride of Mr.. Cooks life. which
is covered with thick, oily scum that
will burn when lighted with match and
as a result some of the secretary's, pet
fish are being killed.
Mr.. Cooks friends who have heard the
news have been congratulating him on
his discovery. Mr.. Cook will probably
go down to Lee county in few days.
