advertising is no good" said
the man in old clothes. "It never
helped me none" The million
aire merchant smiled; "That is
because you tried it, John, as the
Indian tried the feather bed. An

In the morning he growled: Pale

the University. His friends here
will be glad to learn that he has a

There are entirely too many
worthless dogs running the streets
of this town. Last Wednesday
evening, while little Harry AXE
was riding a bicycle down the
street, a vicious dog jumped out
from under a farm wagon and bit
him quite severely. The wound
has healed nicely and it is not
thought any serious trouble will
result. But the dog had no BUSH
ness there. And dogs like this
one should not be allowed on the
streets.

vacate to make room for another.
Ia, ia, au revoir, goodbye. We
are going to do something for you
that the devil will never do-that
is, leave you"
The social given in st. Paul's
rectory yard was a success. Great
credit must be given to the Ironton
band for the music furnished. II
did more than any other thing to
enliven the evening and attract
custom. The band has given its
services freely to most of the So
Gals held under religious auspices
this summer. The music, always
of a high order and we'll rendered.
contributes much to the pleasure
of our people, and it is but right
some expression of the apprecia-
ton of it's beneficiaries should be
placed on record. H. A. S.

Springs, where he went to try ano
rid himself of a severe attack o.
sciatic rheumatism. Mr.. Clark
son, with his wife and daughter
returned this week to their home
at Clark's, La, where he has
responsible position with a biz
lumber company. We are glad tt
know that the baths proved bene'
fetal to Walter, but we do thinl
that when he got as near to tn,

have come on up here to spend
few hours with friends of othe
days long gone.
