We note in the Tribune that the
home Of Frank Biggs in Triplett
was entered Friday evening about
8 o'clock and purse containing g
81 was taken. The family was
not at home at the time, and the
robbery was discovered by the
neighbors who turned in an
alarm. On account of valuable
articles being left unm olested it
is supposed to be the work of a
local amateur.

Two More Divorce Suits.

Two More Divorce Suits.
Two more couples have been
drinking of the cup of matrimon.

suits for divorce.

June, 1908. She says that dur.

husband, was guilty of such
cruel and barbarous treatment
as to endanger the life of plain.

the use of intoxicating liquor,
and while under the influence of
liquor became quarrelsome with
out just cause and threatened to
kill her, and, in furtherance of
his threats, fired a loaded pistol
at her, and at another : time,
while on a farm in Randolph
county, Mo-, he threw q glass
bottle at her and struck her in
the face and cut a cash, the
scar of which is still plainly
visible. For this wanton assault
and battery the defendant was

after he had served out his term
of Imprisonment he came back
to her dwelling and promised to
reform, but, contrary to his
promise, again he became drunk

Triplert'S Mineral Well.

y kxs
One of the most in teresting
sights in Charlton county is
the artesian we'll at Triplett,
which is nearly 1900 feet deep
and was put down by the enter.
prising citizens of that pushing
little city and vicinity at a cost
of several thousand dollars, the
object being to prospect for gas.
coal, oil or any other valuable
things that might underlay the
surface of the earth in that local.
ity. The only valuable thing,
however, that was found was the
mineral properties of whose
waters are said to surpass even
those of the famous sulphur.
saline springs at Excelsior
Springs.
So far as our taste could de.
tect, sulphur and salt predomin.
ate in the water of the Triplett
gusher, though it contains
several other properties that are
helpful in the cure of human ills.
The water is a fine carthartic.
and it is wonderful how much OF
it one can drink without "bust.
ing"
Some claim that it is helping
their rheumatism, others thad it
has relieved them of consti patton
and other pains from drinking
it. "Uncle" Billy Hooper has
cured an ephithilma on one ofhis
eyes by bathing it in the water.
B. A. Gibson says he formerly
suffered with tired feet, but has
obtained relief by bathing his
pedal extremities in Triplett's
mineral and everflowing foun.

head declares it is also a sure
shot on corns. He's tried it and
knows.
W. O. Ballew, heretofore
believed to be an invincible
old bachelor of Triplett, is an
enthusiast over the we'll. He,
too, has been drinking of it's
water and is now making goo.
goo eyes at every woman he sees,
and the indications are that he is
about to surrender completely to
some fair Psyche.

feet into the air and is indeed a
beautiful sight to look upon,
when it reflects all the
colors of the rainbow. This we'll,
we verify believe, is a very
asset to Triplett, but it
will take money and lots of it to
build a hotel, bath house, and
properly beautify and make at
5ractive grounds. Then the
crowd will come, drink Of the

her mineral we'll will, we hope,
become famous all over the

Baptist Herman of near Dalton
was a pleasant and substantial
caller at the COURIER office Mon.
day. Mr.. Herman has beeq
laid up for two or three weeks
because of his heroism in having
piece of skin 4x5 inches re.
moved fro N one leg and a piece
3x4 inches taken from the other
leg, which were used in grating
new skin onto the right foot of
Rudolph, the little 3.year.old
con of Mr.. and Mrs. Herman.
The foot was badly burned two
years ago. The little fellow was
having spasms and the mother
placed hot flat.iron to his foot,
not knowing the iron was any,
thing Ii Ike as hot as it was. The
wound deformed the foot very
much and has since refused to
heal. The removal of the Sec
tions of skin from the fathers legs,
the grating on the burn and the
straightning of the foot was done
by Drs. A. w. Zillman of Indian
Grove and H. E. kirkpatrick of
Dalton, and we are glad to learn
that the desired results are about
to be ACCOMPLISHED,
