How to Keep House.

With all the luxuries and pleasures of
this life, it's big enjoyments and its smaller
comforts, there is an offset or antithesis
which we have to contend with in the
form of aches and pains. In some way
n by some means every one has a touch
of them in some form at some time.
Tritling as some of them may be, the
risk is that they will grow to something
greater and rack the system with con-
slant torture. There is nothing, there.
fore, Of this kind that we have a right to
trihe with. Taken in time, the worst
forms of aches and pains are easily sub
dued and cured by the free use of St.
Jacobs Oil. No well regulated household
ought to be without q bottle of this great
remedy for pain. 1t is the specific virtue
of penetration in st. Jacobs Oil that
carries it right to the pain spot and
effects a prompt cure even i'll the most
painful cases OF Rheumatism, Neuralgia,
Sciatica, Lumbago. You want it also in
the house at all times for hurts, cuts
and wounds, and the house that always
has it keeps up d sort OF insurance against
pain.

Geo. E. Jennings.

The subject of this sketch was born
in Garrard county Dec. 10, 1928 and
was consequently seventy-six years of
age. He had been in poor health for
some time, but was not considered
dangerous until a few days preceding
his death. He leaves wife and three
grown daughters to grieve for him.
He leaves also twin sister, Mrs A B
Brown, to whom he was devotedly at
tached, Mrs Baylor Jennings, Mrs Sal
lie Collins and A r jennings all now
living in Spencer county. He served
four years in the Union army fighting
the battles of his country and his
comrades on the field bear testimony
of his valOr and courage. He was a
member of the Fair View church and
was one of its most active and liberal
spirits. Uuncle George, as he was af.
fectiOnately called was good man in
the trueSt sense of the word, a kind
husband and a devoted father. He
has been called to his reward and
hencef0rth there is laid up for him q
crown of righteousness. He served
his master well and his welcome at the
Celestial city was happy one. Out
of shadow into sunshine, He awaits
your coming. Let US say, "Rest on,
dear one, rest"

Hon Sam D Cochran, as the man for

resided in Garrard all his life, and is
hOnOred and respected by a very wide

the various violations of the law, call

and touching up those things which
needed especial attention. Although
he has warmed the Garrard county
wool sack for only few days, we have
heard many compliments from both
the people and lawyers as to his absO-
lutte fairness and splendid ability as a
judge. His courtesy to attorneys and
litigants has added to his already long
list of Garrard friends, and The Re-
cord predicts a most satisfactory and
pleasant administration by the Mer-
Ger gentleman. Hon Chas Harden,
the new COmmonwealth's Attorney,
was on hand and has displayed great
ability and splendid skill in looking
after the peoples side of the case in
the trial of those who have violated
the laws. Mr. Harden, who is a splen
did lawyer. is a gentleman who makes
it pleasant for those about him, and
while keeping an eagle eye out for his
side of the case is always ready to treat
those in the clutches Of the law with
all fairness.
Quite a number of little cases have
been disposed Of, and the grand jury
has buckled down to work like it was
going to make the way of the trans
gresSOr hard. The civil business is
lighter than in many years, and will
not amount to row of pins, that is so
far as the "picking" for the lawyers is
concerned.

Our old friend ssTen Nights in q

ed and put on The realism of Mr..
Alvin Wyckoff's acting in the role
of the drunkard, was especially
thrilling and the rest of the cast was
ably filed, though Harry La Mack as
the gambler was somewhat strained
and far fetched. Edgar Schooley as
Sample Switched and Stanley Nicker-
son as the saloonkeeper played their
parts well. Mollie Thompson as the
drunkard's wife, and Miss Florence
Sutliff in the character of Little
Mary, acted very cleverly.
Between the acts little Florence
Sutliff sang solo, showing that she
has remarkably strong voice for 9
child of her age, In fact an almost
phenomenal organ which is being
ruined by being used at such al
early age, and strained to excess
There was also biograph display t.

acts. -Deseret Evening News, Sal
