Invariably novelties in the invenA
ton line come in small packages
the moro simple the construction tho
greater the interest. Inventors work
for years evolving a ponderous piece
of machinery which in the end re-
ceives but passing notice. while the
little lump in the De Long hook and
eye, for instance, acquires world
wide fame. In the latter class is the
attachment for eyeglasses, which Is
shown here. 1t is very convenient for
man to slip a pair of eyeglasses
from the nose and drop them into
his outer coat pocket without the ne
cessity of placing them In case. The
chances are that they will slip down

FARMS SUFFER FROM DROUGHT
The Ground is Parched and the Corn is
Willing MaUy Streams are Dry.

The general drought prevailing
throughout the country is quite
keenly felt III this vicinity, where
unless rain falls soon the corn aud
the late potato crop will be serious
ly affected.
While it seems only a short time
since rain has fallen yet it has been
many weeks since we have had a
good soaking rain in this locality.
The ground in the fields is parched.
The corn at manly places is actual
ly whiting and the potatoes look
bad. Nearly all the small streams
are dry or are very low.
The present is a very critical pc
rod for the corn, as it is just now
forming ears. Copious rains are
needed during the next couple Of
weeks in order to insure a good
crop or even an average. Rain is
also needed to help along the pas
ture and the crops of garden truck.
Owing to the lack of rain the riv-
er is falling at a rapid rate. 1t is
already lower than for long time
past.

A bad debt collecting agency i.

A bad debt collecting agency is
at work in Williamsport, and their
plan is as follows: The person
owing a book account is sued, thus
giving him a chance for defense.
After a judgement is secured and a
reasonable length of time given for
payment, the judgment is adver-
tised for sale in the local papers.
While man has no right to adver-
tise a book account for sale, by
giving name and amount, etc., he
has perfect right to advertise a
judgment for sale, as it is a matter
of public record, anyhow.

WOMEN LEAVE CITY

 ters and the sheri6's once.

That the raid made by the Sherins department Saturday night and the pos abilities of more is having its de- sired effect is evidenced by the fact that many of the vagrants such as are being sought for are leaving Mont gomery. Reports to this effect have come to the court house and it is said that many women are leaving the city rather than to take chances of be- ing arraigned before a magistrate and given a heavy fine
 Sheriff Hood has stated that he Is determined to rid the city of as many of these persons as he can and that he will not let up in the work that he has started. This has led this class of people to believe that they cannot tel at what time they may be arrest ed.
 The raid Saturday night came with out warning and was something new to this class of people in Montgom- cry. They had heen allowed in the city for some time and raiding was almost an unknown thing to them. Since the raid was made and the Sheriff pro- posed to make more of them, they do not know exactly where they stand It Is this uncertainty that is driving many of the women away. Rumors to the effect that another raid was go- ing to be made Monday night spread
 
 two men watching both the police and Sheriff's departments until late last night. They were evidently there to give the alarm if the officers sh ould start out.
 A deplorable feature of the raid Saturday night has just come to the eyes of the Sheriff's department. After the news had spread that many of these people had been arrested sev- erai white persons gathered on the outside of the jail and many bond was arranged right there They could not Rign the bonds, but they were there to see who had been arrested and then scurry around to find some one to sign their names for the appearance of the women in court.
 Just what the next step will be, or. if . raid is to be made, in what section of the city the officers will go. is matter of conjecture. Sheriff Hoods statement that he intended ridding the city of many of these persons will doubtlessly be carried out to the let ter. but when and how 1t will be done, no one knows.

ALABAMA MAN INDICTED.
A. H. COEbiII Sent WhisIkey Over
 River To GeorUfa

Columbus. Ga. Dec. 17.-(Speeiai.)- The Muscogee county grand jury today returned an indictment against A Ii Cogbill, a saloon keeper of Girard, Ala, ch harging him with selling whiskey without license.
 The circumstances of the case are quite novel. Last Saturday election day, when the Columbus saloons were closed a man in this city teIephoned to Cogbill In Alabama for bottle of whiskey and Cogbill sent 1t across to the Georgia side of tho Chattahoochee river by 0 negro
 The man paid the negro for the whiskey and the latter was instantly arrested by the police who saw the transaction.
 Cogbill remained in Alabama throughout tho transaction, and there is much curiosity as to how he could be indicted for an offense alleged to have been committed in Muscogee county.
 The grand jury had legal advice be- fore takkns tha step.
