AN
ASSAULT At
VERNON
Negro Entered Residence Of ".
H. Howell, But Was Frightened
AWay--Caught by Sheriff.

IChipley, July 26.-The sheriff was
notified early this morning that a ne
gro had broken in the residence of
Mr.. w. H. Howell at Vernon. The
sheriff and ]. C. Sinclair left imme-
diately with blood hounds for Vernon
and succeeded in tracking down and
lodging in Jail a negro by the name
of Jim Rocks, who was employed at
turpentine still near Vernon.
From information obtained over the
telephone, it seems that the negro
had called at the house about 10
O'Clock last night to see Mr.. Howell,
who was absent. On being informed
of this fact by Mrs. Howell the negro
left. At about 1 o'clock this morning
Mrs. Howell was awakened by some
one being in the room, and the lamp
which she had left burning had been
extinguished. She evidently raised
an alarm and the negro made his
escape.
There is considerable feeling exist
ing at Vernon. The officers feel sure
they have the right man.
This is the second time that crime
of this kind has been attempted within
the last month.

PROSPECTING
u. S. MARSHAL T. +. McGOURIN
AND J. n. SMiTHWIck ARE IN
INDIAN TERRITORY.

The Daily Democrat, of Tulsa, In
dian Territory, recently contained he
following regarding two Pensacolians
who are prospecting in the Indian
Territory:
Hon. T. F. McGourin. U. S. mar
shal for the northern district of Flor
ida, and John H. Smithwick, a prom.
inent attorney. both of Pensacola, are
in the city with a view of making
some investments. These gentlemen
are being shown the sights by G. S.
Walker, who is thoroughly acquaint-
ed with all the advantages the city
has. Mr.. Smithwlck was in the uni
versity with Mr. Walker and they
were close friends during their school
days. They say Tulsa is the best ad-
vertised town in the world, but WITH
all Of its advertising one can form no
conception Of what great things there
are here without. seeing them.
These gentlemen will leave tomor-
row for Muskogee and other points
in the territory, before returning
home. 1t is sincerely hoped by those
who met these gentlemen from the
state of the Everglades that they
will see their way clear to return
and make their home in the most
promising city in what is to be the
greatest state and the grandest couu-
try on the face of the earth"

THE WOODWORK.

How 1t should Be Treated to Keep
1t In Condition.
Enamel finishes require to be well
washed In clean warm water, using
the merest suspicion of soap or scour-
ing sand upon dirty or grimy spots.
Afterward they must be rubbed with
flannel brisk enough to make them ex-
tremely hot. This develops luster in
them quite as it does in hardwood.
Grained and vanished limitations Of
hardwood are best cleaned with borax
soapsuds, never letting water touch
them, but rubbing well with cloths
wrung dry. Afterward they should be
rubbed with a flannel barely moistened
with kerosene. If there Is too much
kerosene 1t will dissolve and blur the
colors. Clean hardwood with a fan
mel wet in turpentine and rub after
ward lightly with boiled linseed oil.
Take of spots with fine sand mixed in
oil. Apply it with leather and rub
with clean leather afterward to bring
back the polish
Once in two or three years hardwood
ought to be well washed In borax soap
suds. then rubbed dry, lightly oiled and
rubbed with leather polishers until the
surface burns the hand.
It cannot be said too forcibly nor too
often that in every kind OF cleaning the
first thing is to brush or wipe away
every particle of lnnse dirt

True for you, there's a treat in the

Grape Nuts served with thick, rich
cream.
Don't spoil the food by trying to
cook it. That work is done perfect

The cream should soften it a bit,
but not enough to excuse the eater
from at least a few good earnest
"chews," for old Dame Nature sends
rich blessings to the long chewer OK
course the one with weak teeth can
soften the food with milk down to a
mush if necessary. but the good old
Dame doesn't smile quite so cheer
fully on them.
You know children and adults must
use the teeth and grind freely to make
them grow strong and to- preserve
them. Then the act of chewing brings
down the much needed saliva from
the gums, and that helps amazingly
In the digestion of foods of various
kinds.
The saliva is not 50 much required
with Grape-Nuts, for this food Is pre-

into a form Of sugar in the process
of making, and that helps give 1t the

Mr.. Jacob Wampler is a practical

COWS. The dairy averages pounds
of butter per head per week besides
letting the calves have part of the
milk. The butter sells readily in the
city at 40 cents per pound. He also
makes a few pounds of cream cheese
each week which sells at 10 cents per
pound, besides selling some milk TO
neighbors. Taking it all together, as
near as l can figure it, If all of the
milk was used for making butter
these ordinary piney woods cows
would make a pound of butter per
day per head. They were bought in
the woods here for s25 each. If a
person can do that we'll with such
cows it seems to me that there would
be good money in dairying here with
q better grade.
