SAYS KISSES ARE
DEVILS WEAPONS

Cairo, ILL.,, July 12.-Are kisses the
DEVILS weapons to lure the souls of
men and women to destruction? The
Rev. L. d. Bass, of this city, answers
this question in the affirmative and
alleges that occulation is the very es-
sence of evil.
There is something remarkably
magnetic and thrilling in the oscula-
tory embrace" asserts the clergyman
apparently with knowledge of his
facts. when two pairs of lips come
together it is like two clouds with
electricity, the one positive and the
other negative. AS in the case of the
clouds, also, there is likely to follow
q storm-an emotional storm that
sweeps before it all propriety and all
morality and all reserve. A cloud
burst of excessive passion and costa
cy---such is kiss. Nothing has more
of heavens sacred fame or the soaring
fire of hell than kiss. The best
things perverted are the worst instru-
mentalities for deadly evil

damning as burning, thrilling kiss

Mr.. BATsoNs VERSION
OF THE RAILROAD WRECK

| 3 & f.
Mr.. T. e. Batson, the Chancery
Clerk, who had been over to New
Augusta to get the personal assess
ment rolls, was in the wreck today
and was badly shaken up and slightly
injured.
His version Of the affair is that the
train was running at a moderate rate
say twenty miles an hour when
the crash came. The only warning the
passengers had was the sudden appli.
cation Of the air brakes which threw
them about the car.
He and others assisted railroad men
from the shops near by to get Engi-
neer Barnes out OF the wreck and
assisted the injured wherever he
could.
1t was learned later that Mr.. Rarnes
was the son-in-law of Mr.. r. M. Nc
Elroy, the cashier at the M. ]. & X.
c.. freight depot and that. he leaves
young wife to mourn his untimely
death.
That Conductor Welhnan should
take another mans run was an unfor-
tunate thing for him. 1t was his first
trip on this run and it resulted in
some rather painful If not very SER
ious injuries, but as he says, 1T
might have been worse"

ONE ACRE OF APPLES
WILL BRING $4,000

One of the finest, most convincing
and most startling evidences of the
profit in fruit raising in the valley of
the Grand is an acre of Jonathan ap-
pies in the orchard of Rev. James A.
Becker, located just north of the city
on North Seventh street.
Rev. Becker has in this one acre
03 Jonathan apple trees, and each
tree is loaded down with magnificent
fruit, making a picture that is cer-
tainly a feast for the eye and temp
tation to the palate.
IL is estimated that there are be-
tween 500 and 900 boxes of apples
on these trees. They are in the most
superb condition and will soon be
ready for the harvest.
This one acre of apples alone will
bring to its owner at least $1,000.
and the gross expenses cannot be
over $500. Consequently the net
profits on this fruit from 03 trees
will be at least 81, 800, or a net prof
il of nearly $50 per tree.
Jonathan apples of the fancy grade
will bring and are bringing S2.75 per
box, and the choice Jonathans will
bring at least $500 per box. The
majority of the apples from Rev.
Becker's acre will be fancy. Figure
out the profits for yourself.
