dead with a gunshot wound in his
stomach in the Big Ivy section Of this

death is mOmentarily expected.
AS a result of the school census,
completed this afternoon the Ashe-
Vile city schools will hereafter be
conducted on the one-session per day
plan, instead of having two sessions
as heretofore. This will probably set
tie the loose fight between the advo-
Gates on the two session and of the
one session plans, in which much bit
terness has been displayed and in
which some of the school authorities
have been severely criticised for their
advocacy of the two session plan.

Skull and leg bones, with fragments
Of clothing and old shoes, were discov-
cred by hunters within 500 yards OF
the N. and S. railroad track. just out
side of town, in dense woods. Evil
dence that murder was committed is
strong and it is the opinion of the doc
tor, to whom the significant relics
were brought for examination, that it
was a white man. 1t is thought by
some that it was some tramp who had
entered the woods and died either of
sickness or by suicide, but the body
had been thinly buried and had been
unearthed by hogs, which confutes
such a theory, and the general opin-
ion is that it was the place where some
murderer hid his victim.
No one was missed at the time the
body was placed in the woods, which
must have been all of two years ago.

When wart, mole or pimple shows

that bad blood is behind it. Often these
places are on the face, hands, legs or

no sign to cause uneasiness, and then
with little rough handling, slight cut

fuses to heal, and the sufferer finds him
self afflicted with CanCerous ulcer.
