A Fulton County Boy.

We are always pleased to hear
of our Fulton county boys doing
well, wherever their lot may be
cast.
Many of those who read The
FULTON COUNTY News, will re.
member Prof. John D. French,
formerly of Taylor township this
county. When boys, he and the
writer attended school at what
was then known as the Bunker
Hill school house Taylor town
ship.
In his young manhood years
Mr.. French taught several terms
of school in his native township,
but several years ago acting upon
the advice once given by Horace
Greely-"Young man go Vest
he went. Being young man Of
temperate habits, and good char.
acter, and aspiring after higher
attainments in knowledge, it is
not to be wondered at that he
should succeed.
He is now located in Nebraska,
and still engaged in educational
work, being superintendent of
the city schools of Hastings, Ne
braska.
Early in January 1902, he was
elected president of the Nebras-
ka State Teachers Association at
their annual meeting at Lincoln.
He is deserving of much credit
being a self-made man in the true
sense of the word. He was born
in small farm house among the
hills and hollows of Taylor town
ship and secured his education
by hard work.
Very fortunate for him, he was
born of christian parents, who
taught him to "fear God and keep
His com mmandments, which is far
better than to have instilled in
his mind a desire to acquire
wealth-silver, gold, or even a
college education without such
christian training.
The life and success of Prof.
John d. French should be an in
spiration to the young men of this
county, who are striving against
great odds to get along for he GER
tainly has been the architect of
his own success, and has won for
himself a reputation among the
educational men of Nebraska, that
others may possibly envy.
editor of the News" you may
hear from me again about other
boys that attended the Bunker
Hill school in Taylor township
during the fifties.

A Night Alarm.

Worse than an alarm of fire at
night is the brassy cough of Group
which sounds like the children s
death knell and it means death
unless something is done quickly.
Foley's Honey and Tar never fails
to give instant relief and quickly
cures the worst form of Group.
Mrs. p. l.. Cordier, of Manning
ton, KY, writes "My three year
old girl had a severe case of Group;
the doctor said she could not live.

and Tar, the first dose gave quick
relief and saved her life. Refuse
