Give Us a Fair Tote.

The east side of the river in the
late primary election was favored
by securing about all the county
offices. Messrs. Lucian Wood and
c. P. Smith, nominees for circuit
and chancery clerks, are citizens Of
the second and third districts, re-
spectively, or were until their cleo
ton to those offices four years ago
removed them to this city, and they
probably retain their voting pre-
cincts. Mr.. Nick Tubb, nominee
for treasurer, is a resident Of the
second district; Prof. f. f. Cowley,
nominated for superintendent Of
education, is a citizen Of Amory;
Mr.. Andy Hill, nominee for sur
veyor, lives near Quincy; Mr.. NJ.
H. Bum, for coroner and ranger,
resides in the same neighborhood;
both candidates for the run-off for
sheriff claim their east side homes
though at present living in Aber-
deem; Messrs. Broyles and Beeks,
nominees for representatives,, reside
in their second and third district,
east side homes.
In the out come Of the first pri-
mary Aberdeen and the west side
Of the river secured only two nomi-
nees. those Of Greedy Ray for tax
assessor, and Mr.. George J. Left
wich for State senator, a State dis
trict office with small emolument
and not generally coveted
All this being true, is it asking
too much to insist upon the gener-
osity of our east side friends to ac-
cord to Aberdeen and the west side
the remaining seat in the house Of
representatives to which Monroe is
entitled? As is already known
there was a tie vote at the first pri-
mary for third place on the legisla-
tive ticket between Messrs. J. NJ.
Parchman and r r. Caldwell, and
they are now canvassing for a de-
cision on August %. There IS
nothing to urge against Capt Cald-
we'll. He is a loyal citizen, esteem
ed for his high qualities Of integrity
and a patriot and veteran Of the
civil war, well worthy any honor
that his fellow citizens may confer
upon him. Indeed, it was our vote
that placed him in the tie count,
but in the spirit of a fair tote and
for the sake of distributing the
representation in the legislature
more equitably, Aberdeen and the
west side of the river Is certainly
entitled to one of the three repre-
sentative seats, especially in view OF
the fact that the east side has cap
tured the major portion of the tick
ct. Aberdeen cordially helped TO
nominate the candidates from the
east. and now feels that a return
Of the compliment is due in the
shape of a vote for Mr.. Parchman
for representative.

Letter to Henderson Hardware Co


Dear Sirs The easiest way we
know Of to make a little money is il
you're going 10 paint 10 paint with
paint that takes least gallons.
Take small job say H. takes 10
gallons Devoe, two coats that's an
average house. When the Job is done
and the bill cOmes-iu, 10 is 500; the
paint etc $3.50 the rest IFS for labor
and carriage; the labor IS fixing the
surface, shifting ladders 7caf0lding
puleys and ropes, ana brushing-Ou
paint.
Take another job exactly like that;
try another paint IL takes II gallons
The bill is $40 more. Take another
exactly the same; another paint it
takes 20 gallons The bin is 500.
There Is only one Devoe, there's
dozen l2-gallOu paints, and 100 that
take 20 gallons 70 cover lO-gallOn
job.
The only difficulty is i'm 6nding-out
Devoe. After that you save work
there's less work I'm 10 than u or 20
gallons; less paint to buy and less 10
brush-On and less wages 10 pay
If DevOe was only a little better
than others, there'd be some difficulty
in finding out the difference. II goes
twice as far "a half the paints that
ought 70 be easy
1t wears longer too. You'u wait a
good while if you wait 10 hnd-Out how
long it wears there are thousands Of
people who know that the least-gal-
Ions paint wears longest.
Yours truly

TRUNK MYSTERY SOLVED.
Detectives Called in at Belmont Hotel
Discover Cheese.

An innocen, piece OF old cheese
packed away In the trunk of a guest
at the Belmont hotel caused great
sensation at that place last night and
resulted IN a hurry up call being sent
to the police station for help from de-
tectivese TO solve what was supposed to
be foul murder with the victim pack
ed In q trunk and sent TO the hotel
where 1t would have remained long
enough for the murderer to make good
his escape had not the clerk Ernest
Founier, detected n suspicious odor.
While passing through the hall the
clerk scented something that was rath-
er unpleasant 10 the senses and made
further investigation which disclosed
that the odor came from trunk which
had been brought to the hotel during
the day by an eXpressman who said
that tho owner would arrive during the
day. Mr.. Fourier made n very close
inspection and finally decided that there
must be n dead body in the trunk.
lie then sent q call for the police,
which was responded TO by two detec-
tlves. When they arrived they got one
Whit at the trunk and agreed with
him that there must be "A murder
mystery afoot. They AT once opened
the trunk but instead of iindlng the
remains of some man. woman or child,
only found a stale piece of cheese In
one corner. The cheese was gently re-
moved from its resting place and
thrown into the alley, the trunk lid
was closed again and the officers re-
turned to the station.

SAD DEATH.
Passing Of Miss Ella Thornberg Sc
we're Blow to Family.

Miss Ella Thornberg died Monday
morning at 8 a. m, Aug. 10, 1907, at
her homo on Fourth East street. She
was the youngest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Il. +. Thornberg The deceased
has been in poor health for several
years, and while her recovery was not
looked for, her sudden demise was a
surprise to the family and her friends
generally. During her illness she has
been faithfully cared for by her broth
ers and sisters. They have devoted
themselves to her, and no want or wish
of hers has been neglected. Every
care and consideration that loving
hearts could give, has been rendered to
her, and the truth of the remark is
evidenced, that, had she been the
daughter OF q millionaire. she could
not have been better cared for. Her
sisters, especially, had been mothers
to her In every sense of the word, and
as she had the misfortune to lose her
mother some two years ago, these low
Ing sisters made up to her that loss,
and supplied the place of the tender
loving parent, whose heart was always
drawn out in sympathy for Ella.
The life and character OF Ella Thorn
berg were above reproach, She was
devotedly attached to those who so
unselfshly ministered to her comfort.
