A Correction.

To the Editor: In the county com
missiOners' proceedings, as published
in your paper during January, an item
of expense for dry goods for Mrs.
Moran, county charge, was printed as
being SIS. 95, when It should have been
s., which last charge only is in confor'
nifty with a certain ruling laid down by
the board Of county commissioners re
lative to poor house inmates. The error
which originated prior to the publica
ton of the expense item, has been cor
rected, and this notice is communicated
to adjust any misunderstanding that
might arise affecting my management
of the county poor farm.

Sometimes a flaming city is saved by
dynamiting a space that the fire can't
cross. Sometimes a cough hangs on so
long, you feel as if nothing but dyna-
mite would cure It. =. T. Gray of Cal
houn, Ga, writes: my wife had a very
aggravated cough, which kept her
awake nights. Two physicians could
not help her; so she took DR.. King S
New Discovery for consumption, coughs
and colds, which easel her cough, gave
her sleep, and finally cured her. I"

LACK. THE TAILOR" GONE.
said Goodbye to Go0dIand Amer a Resi-
dencs Of Ten Teara

dencs OF Ten Years.
Few people in GOodland knew Philip
Brehm, although he had lived here and
mingled with them for perhaps the last
ten years. As Jack, the Tailor, -
almost everybody knew and liked him.
He left Friday night for ChillicOthe,
o., to spend most likely his last days at
the home of his sister. He also has z
brother living there. Jack has cancer
little hope of his surviving but a short
time. The malady, which appeared not
long ago, soon reduced his flesh and
strength. Last week he gave out. He
was sad that his working days were
over. The few articles with which his
little tailor shop was equipped, he
almost carried under his arm, and these
as all his earthly belongings, he moved
to the stOrerOOm in the old Exchange
bank building.
His many friends felt sorry, too.
'Jack" told some one he wanted to 90
to ChillicOthe, his boyhood home. The
word was passed along. Dollars all
along the street were Clipped in' to
make up a fund, S45 being given. A
railroad ticket, which cost $50 was pur-
chased and the remainder turned over
to him And so jack is
gone! He could only whisper when he
said goodbye.
Jack" had been his worst enemy;
and every other enemy besides-if It
may be said he had a single one-was a
thousand times more his friend than
lack" himself. Whiskey was his arch
6end and enemy, and like many an
other, he had long since come to love
that which was TO destroy him. The
cancer was the pitiless climax. We feel
an uncharity IN even referring to this
shortening Of his, and here drop the
pencil and turn to cover, as it were,
the past as with a cloak of charity.
