Nearly Ready for Business.

The new furniture factory is
scheduled to begin operations
the last OF this week or the first
OF next. 1t had been hoped that
the machines could be put in
motion January 18th, but delay
caused by failure of freight to
arrive in time, made this out of
the question. Everything is
here now, however, and nearly
in position.
The new firm will transact
business under the name" Cor
Wallis Manufacturing Co. and
will make everything in the
furniture line excepting chairs.
Its capacity will be ample to sup
ply any demand for some time to
come, and there may be places
for twenty men. The machi-
merry is all new and of the latest
pattern and occupies the entire
lower floor of the Creighton
building on Main street. ALI
citizens in Benton county and
vicinity should take an interest
in and encouraging this new
enterprise.

DENY THEIR MARRIAGE.
Jacksonville, Ill, Couple Married Here
In June, Now Say They Are Not
Man and Wife.

On June 10 marriage license was
granted in this city TO "Bruce Max
field and Mary A. Richards and the
couple was married at the Windsor
Hotel by Rev. A. W. Kokendoffer.
The license was procured by Mr..
Wheat and he stated when he applied
for the license that the prospective
bride and groom were quite aged and
did not feel like appearing in person
for the license. Wheat gave their
address as Jacksonville, Ill.
There was some little comment on
the marriage at the time, as both the
bride and groom refused to grant an
audience to reporters. A sequel TO the
marriage, apparently, has shown up;
Recorder Williams Thurday received q
letter from Justice Of the Peace Ran
som, OF Jacksonville, Ill, in which the
writer asked IL a DR.. Brock Mayfield
and Mary A. Richardson, Of Jackson
Vile, had been married In this city In
June. He stated that 1t was under
stood there that the couple had been
married, but that they denied it, al
though a Mr.. Wheat and DR.. Brock
Maylield were staying at the home Of
Mary A. Richardson, a wealthy widow,
who is sick and near death now.
The similarity between the names
Maxfleld-Richards, who we're married
here, and Maytield-R Richardson, who
denied having been married, makes
an interesting coincidence and then, a

ness meeting Wednesday night and
arranged for holding a big money

will be at live birds. The entrance

Der Of targets from 10 birds to 25
birds and the entrance fees will range

event, will be the purse money and
viii be divided in four prizes at a
ratio Of I, 5, Sand for the first,

Tha 20n.Rer Han.


Not very long ago anyone who made
a claim to having hen that produced
as many as l50 eggs in a year was
looked upon with some suspicion as to
the reliability Of his statements. Then
the 150-egg hen was conceded TO be a
possibility, but anything beyond that
was thought to be exceedingly un-
likely Of realization for a good many
years to come.
Then the experiment stations took
the matter up and began TO take great
pains TO determine the ultimate limit
Of capacity in the way of egg produe-
tion, and some wonderful results have
already been attained.
Bulletin 70, Maine Experiment Sta.
tion, gives some results that are cal
cnIated to make US believe that almost
anything up to an egg a day Is posi-
BILE. The following is quoted from the
bulletin:
"During the three years in which
we have been selecting breeding stock
by use OF the trap nests we have
found thirty hens that laid between
200 and 251 eggs each in year.

Rev. ]. b. Cox, Formerly Of Mexico.

Rev. J. II. Cox, who died recently
at Trenton, was one Of the Oldest,
most widely known and most popular
Methodist ministers In Missouri, says
the Kansas City Journal. lie has
been pastor Of several OF the largest
churches Of that denomination in the
State, among them those at Trenton
and Maryyille.
While quite an able preacher, his
personal pecullarities we're what drew
people to him with most force. He
was one Of the most atIable, congenial
and courteous OF men. Although rigid
in his religious views, he always had
the friendship OF people belonging to
every class where he lived.
An amusing story, Illustrative Of
this unwearying thoughtfulness and
courtesy, is told at Maryvllle. 1t was
his habit to speak to everybody whom
he met. One frosty morning, when he
was going down the street, ,bowing and
lifting his hat right and left, a wag-
gish druggist, who was watching him,
remarked to a friend, "I'll betyou s5
that be bows to that wooden Indian
in front Of that cigar store.n The
bet was taken. Sure enough, when
Brother Cox, as he was invariably
called by saint and sinner, got in front
Of the cigar store, he turned and
smiled and bowed. 1t was laterascer-
tained that he was speaking to some
men inside the store, but meantime
the druggist had taken the stakes.
Mr.. Cox was the father-in-law Of
Charles d. Morris, the we'll known
editor and Republican politician OF
Trenton.

THE COUNTY Farm.
The Worst Cases Likely Used in Agi-
tating the Matter Things are
Satisfactory.

Much has been said recently about
the management Of the county poor
farm. Perhaps a few facts would be
Of interest to some OF our readers.
There are 200 acres in the farm. The
land is rented and the increment used
to maintain the institution. There
are twelve inmates. The keeper gets
sl.25 per week for boarding and caring
for each inmate. They are given
plain but substantial food and the
washing and mendlng Of their clothes
included.
Among the inmates is an old PEN
sioner who boards at the institution
and who expresses himself as being
perfectly satisfied, more 80 than he
would be at any other place.
It is quite likely that in the agita-
tion for improvements at the farm the
worst ease OF helplessness is used as an
example-just like some people see
the warty church member or the knot
ty lodge member and overlook the
ones whoare Of consequence.

urday morning, causing her death at 6
O'Clock the same evening. The young

Thousands Of women suffer from sys-
temic catarrh. This is sure to produce
such symptoms as cold feet and hands,
sick headache, palpitation Of the heart
and heavy feelings In the stomach.
Then begins a series OF experimental.
They take medicine for sick headache.
They take medicine for nervous prosfra-
tion, for palpitation Of tho heart, for
dyspepsia. None of these medicines do
any good because they do not reach the
cause Of the complaint.
Peruna at once mitigates all these
symptoms by removing the cause.
Systemic catarrh Is the trouble. sys-
temic catarrh pervades the whole sys-
tenn, deranges every organ, weakens
every function. No permanent cure can
be expected until the systemic catarrh
Is removed.
This is exactly what Peruna will do.
