Watch Contest Coupons.

For the benefit Of people who have
made inquiry as to the price Of single
copies Of THE ENQUIRER, with view
to securing the coupons for the watch
contest, we beg to say that 1t Is not
our purpose to allow the coupons from
extra papers to enter into this con-
test If we can help 1t. Ordinarily we
do not print more than from twenty
to forty papers over enough for regu-
lar subscribers. These extra papers
usually go to new subscribers desiring
back numbers, and to people who re-
quire them in the ordinary course Of
business. The price Of extra papers is
strictly cents each. We are inclined
to the opinion that this price Is prohi-
bitive for the purposes Of the watch
contest: but in case anybody insists
on purchasing at this price, we re-
serve the right to cancel the coupons
before delivering the papers. Res
pectfully, L. M. CRISIS Sons. st

AN UNKNOWN SAGE

Is responsible for the adage that
There is no way TO Judge the future
except by the pas" and the accuracy
of tie assertion Is so patent that any
thinking man will admit its truthful
ness without argument. Sixty years
ago. in the city Of Newark, N. j., few
level headed, business men obtained a
charter to organize mutual life insur-
ance company on the "old line" plan.
After long deiiberation they decided
to call 1t the Mutual Benefit Life In
surance Co, and that 1t should be con-
Quoted for the mutual benefit" OF all
who became members. The founda-
tion stone was "conservativeness and
economy" No big salaries to officers or
commissions to agents. Those princi-
Piles have never been violated, and to-
day the company enjoys the reputation
of being the leading policy holders
company In America-one that has
always given more in proportion to
cost than any other. 1t is just as great
an ambition with the management Of
1905 to maintain its reputation as 1t
was that Of 1916 to start right. Its
record is as white as snow and you
would be astonished at the liberality
of its contracts, as compared to 9TH
ers, IL you would examine them. 1t is
NV business to show them.

MRS. Halls Miracle
Experiences Similar to This Have
OCCasioned Considerable Comment
In Leon.

Few woman are better known in
Lockport, N. Y, than Mrs. Pattie d.
Hall, as she belongs to one of the best
families and has a large circle Of friends
and acquaintance. In recent int r
view Mrs. Hall said:
1.-THE experience have been through
in the last two years seems like mira
Gle. I was so badly off that life seemed
almost uncomfortable, and my deafness
increased 50 that could scarcely hear
anything. The suffocation in my chest
and the indigestion caused by my
catarrh, produced very severe suffering.
l had five different physicians, bought
everything that anybody recommended
to me, but finally gave up in despair

ment, and can thankfully testify that
Hyomei does cure this terrible disease.
Since using it my hearing is greatly
improved, and the only time have any
catarrhal trouble is when take cold.
l then use Hyomei, and always get in
slant relief. My friends and acquaint-
ances marvel at the change in my
health and hearing"
Hyomei has made many cures of
catarrh, and in connection with .Hyo-
mel balm, of catarrhal deafness, in Leon.
Similar experiences to that Of Mrs.
Halls. have created large sale for
Hyomei with L. P. Van Werden.
The complete outfit, including the
inhaler, costs but 81, while extra
BOTTLES are but so cents. Ask L. P.
Van Werden to show you the strong
guarantee under which he will sell

ARE THE PARENTS OF TWINS.
Aged Negro Couple of Charlton Re-
joiClng In Addition to Family.

Mr.. and Mrs. James Bradley, of Chari-
ton, are the proud parents Of twins
the father being IS years Of age and the
mother SO. The babies are boy weigh
ing eight pounds and daughter seven,
both we'll developed, healthy children.
The parents are colored folks. Mr..
Bradley was slave among many others
owned by General Bradley Of Louisiana,
and from him he gets his name. He was
born July 10, 1887.
General Bradley enlisted in the war
of 1851 and James went with him as his
valet. After being captured at Baton
Rogue, Bradley joined a colored regi-
ment and took part in the battles Of
Vicksburg, Ft. Pillow and other battles.
Bradley's first wife is dead. His pres
ent wife is an ex-slave.of General Brad
ley, to whom he was married shortly
after the war. He went back to the old
plantation after the war and remained
some years. He went to Liberia with
an emigration Of negros and still thinks
that is the proper place for the .negros
Of the United States. Bradley is intel
ligent. He asserts that, barring the
auction business which broke up their
homes, the negroes were better off in
slavery times than afterward. This is
the seventh pair of twins of which he is
the father-seventeen children in all
He stands six feet, one inch in height
and weighs 100 pounds, and is a strong
powerful man at the present time. He
is very proud of his new babies.

A most distressing accident occurred
at the home of Albert Smothers, south
east of town, last Sunday, which re-
suited in the death Of the little daught-
er of Alex. Sharp and wife. Mr.. Sharp
and family were visiting at Smothers'
home and the children were playing
about as children will. About the time
Mr.. Sharp was ready to go home the
child became choked on a piece Of
bread or potato which the children
were eating. The usual method of
pounding the child on the back was
employed, and the obstruction was
apparently removed, so much that the
child was able to swallow some water.
Believing the danger was over, Mr..
Sharp helped her into the buggy when
she suddenly threw her arms about his
neck and exclaimed: ooh Papa l am
choking to DEATH" which proved to be
literally true. She was carried into
the house and died in very short time.
1t is supposed that particle Of the
bread or potato became lodged in her
wind pipe causing her death. The
remains were inferred in the Cain Gene
terry, on Tuesday. The parents are
almost FRUSTRATED at the sad death OF
their only daughter and they have the
sincere sympathy Of the entire commu-
| ity in their sad bereavement. Gains
vile News.

Boys who get tired Of going to school
should read the following written by
Superintendent Adams, Of Fayette col
lege: The average educated man gets
salary of $1,000 per year. He works
forty years, making total Of $4,000 in
a lifetime. The average laborer gets
S1.50 per day, 800 days in year, or
$3.50 in year. In forty years he earns
$4,000. The difference, or $4,000,
equals the value of an education. To
acquire this earning capacity requires
twelve years at school of $50 days each,
or 2,160 days. Divide $4,000, the value
of an education, by 2,160 number of
days required in getting it, we find that
each day at school is worth a little
more than $40 to the pupil. Can't afford
to keep them out, can we?

How to Get Rid of Both.

years ago and to that attribute the
attacks Of aching which followed. Not
only were they evident in my back but
they extended clear to my shoulder
and around the side. When in the acute
stage I could not stoop or even lift
pound and after any sudden or awk-
ward movement I was always rewarded
with sharp exoruciating pain which
resisted all my efforts. ! used porous
plasters and other makeshifts but the
benefits received were very transitory.

went to Van Werden's drug store for
