Mrs. Walter Wallace discover
ed large snake in her room re-
Gently to which she applied boil
ing water that soon ended its ex-

it. Mrs. Wallace had her bedd-
ing out on the lawn the day pre-

A newspaper whose columns
overflow with advertisements of
business men, has more influence
in attracting attention to build
up town than any other agency
that can be employed. Capital
and labor go where there is an
enterprising community. No
power on earth is so strong to
build up a town as a paper well
patronized and its power should
be appreciated. The man who
oyerlooks his town paper injures
himself by injuring his town and
his ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
