The climax came the other day when
the surgeons said that Mrs. Crutch.

band could apply for bail. He at once
decided to celebrate.

he ordered of his jailers. Have a
'possum supper. and plenty OF ale and
cider"
They had 1t in the Jail all right. The
news Of the feast to come was pub
llshed in the afternoon papers, and two
women admirers of the man who had
his vengeance" sent big frosted cakes
as an addition to the repast.
When supper time came a large
table was brought into Crutchfield's
room and the prisoner-guests and sew
eral outsiders filed in for the fun and
feasting. The man who had his ven.
geance did the honors.
DR.. o. II. Snyder, charged with sell
ing liquor on Sunday, was the first
guest to arrive.
He was followed by Ernest Naylor,
charged with being participant in
the riot on that eventful Saturday
night in Atlanta when 16 negroes were
killed. J. F. Clemmons, held on the
same charge, followed
Night Jailer Walter Johnson came
next, to give an official tone to the
party. John Dorsey, "the best trusty

Dayton and one from Springfield, who

Had No Hoo TO Sell.

The supply of pork was getting low
at grocery in Maine town, and word
was indirectly received that certain
farmer living some miles distant in the
country had hog to sell. A man was
sent out, says writer in the Lewis
ton Journal, to make the purchase.
He found the farm, and his rap
brought the farmer to the door.

began, briskly.
"Well. no." replied the farmer, de-
liberately, Il can't say that. / have a

And that aroused the husband to his
fury.
Mrs. Crutchfield had been to see
''Zaza" at the matinee. Her husband
had come to her new home to wait for
her. He had to wait two hours. Then
Mrs. Crutchfield said merry Good
night" to some of her friends who had
been to the theater with her and ran
up the stoop.
rs that you. Sallie?" asked Crutch-
field.
YES" answered his wife, without a
thought of what was to come.
There was shot; then another.
The handsome young wife fell prone
and unconscious. Two bullets from
her husbands rifle had hit her in the
right leg.
Il wanted to hit you once in each
les," yelled Crutehfleld. Then you
would have been like that man"
He was right So she would have
been.

Be careful how you handle dyna.

blowing out stumps. 1t is a most
dangerous way of getting rid o;

Don't Let Sheen Catch Cold.

Catarrh Is often contracted in the
fall of the year through exposure to
storms. After the sheep take cold
several times the affection becomes
chronic and catarrh sets in. Colds
are often brought on by strong, cold
drafts in damp quarters, often the re-
suit of improper ventilation. Remove
the cause, If possible, and guard
against it in the future. Smear the
nose of the affected animal with tar.

Under the rule of Pombai, wise Por-

taught that they might become a peo-

not treated like the ordinary criminal.

Full Revenge Frustrated.
Had the husbands aim been as true
on the second shot as 1t was on the
first Mrs. Crutchfield would have lost
both limbs. But by a merciful mis-,
shot both bullets hit the same limb.
The 11-year-old boy, Loudette, heard
the shots. He started down to the
door to let his mother in. He had just
opened it when lie first shot was fred.
He jumped on the back Of his father
as the second bullet was sent on its
errand of vengeance and fought with
him to keep him from firing again.
Crutchfield started to get away. The
boy chung to him.
Don't you shoot again." screamed
little Loudette, trying to get between
tho revolver and his mother.
The boy couldn't save his mothers
ing his fathers aim. Crutchfield ran
down the steps.

he yelled, in his rage.

tells 1t now, and ran back to my
mother. l saw him hit her once before

Uses Of Masks.

Among the North American Indians
the origin of the use of masks lay"
says writer. Gin the desire to con.
ceal the emotions. Thus should two
warriors meet in combat, the mask
conceals any expression, whether Of
sympathy, fear, or other emotion. For
instance, the knowledge that fear was
depicted on ones face and that his an.
tagonist knew it would very possibly
insure the defeat of the one whose

conditions In the South in recent
years that, Individually the farmer
can hold his cotton without outside
aid. He has the money to do It. He
has plenty to eat and wear and can
pay his debts. he has forgotten how it
feels to be squeezed by mortgage.
IL Is further significant that when he
undertakes an organized movement
to hold his cotton and make the effect
felt upon the market the bankers and
Dusiness men of the South come for.
ward with an offer Of money to help
hin perfect and maintain. his organ
lzatIon. Times have greatly changed
In the South and the primary cause /
the cotton mill. 1t has given the
farmer home market for his staple
and at good prices and the cotton mill
settlement has given him a profitable
market for his farm and garden prod
ucts. Some farmers now make good
living of the cotton mill settlements
alone for there they always have
call for their produce and the oper-
atives have the money to pay for it.
1t 10 interesting to contrast condit-
ions In the South when the mills and
