JUST A HORSE TRADE
Michigan Farmer Wouldn't Rent His
Rig But He Sold Out
Cheap for Cash.

Sam Hurdle of local musical
fame had occasion some time ago
to hire a rig at Union Pier, Mich,
to explore the country near that VIII
lage looking for a farm he wanted
to buy. He found farmer who
owned a small mare and a wagon
and negotiations we're opened at
once.
"I'll pay you one dollar a day for
the horse and wagon for 80 days."
Hurdle said. That, of course,
would mean that the farmer would
receive $50 for the rig for a month
and at the end of that time receive
his property back. But he did not
see it that way. AT first he was
speeches. with amazement and then
regarded Hurdle with scorn.
''Rent herr" he shouted. "Me
rent this rig for one dollar a day?
/ guess not yet, stranger. It's no
spring chicken you're talking to. |
know few things even if l never
have been to Chicago"
Hurdle tried to pacify him and
convince the man that he was in
earnest and not trying to trick him.
81 wouldn't rent that horse for
any amount" said the husband
man.
"Well, I'll tell you what I'll do"
Hurdle said, as he took roll Of
bills from his pocket. cpl give
you $25 for the rig cash down and
you give me a bill Of sale"
"Now you're talking" the farm
er said. 'I'll sell, but 1 am agin
renting" And he made out the
bill of sale.-Chicago Record-Her-

PERFECT CONFIDENCE.
Hopkinsville People Have
Reason For Complete
Reliance.

Do you know how
To find quick relief from back
ache;
To correct distressing urinary
ills;
To surely cure sick kidneys?
Just one way-yOur neighbors
know
Have used Doan's Kidney Pills;
Have proved their worth in many
tests.
Here's Hopkinsuille testimony.
Mrs. w. C. Davis, 829 West
Seventh street, Hopkinsville, KY,
says: Mr.. Davis has never had an
occasion to use Doan's Kidney Pills
or any other kidney medicine since
he recommended them in the sum-
mer of 1903. For years prior to that
time he had been an almost constant
sufferer from kidney trouble. He had
intense pains in his back which ex-
tended to his shoulders and annoyed
him all day. They prevented him
from sleeping during the night.
The relief he obtained from the use
of DOan's Kidney Pills which he got
at L. A. johnson & Co.'S drugstore
was surprising. They acted differ
emily from any remedy he ever tried
and he has never had recurrence
of the trouble since using this valu-
able remedy four years ago. It
speaks pretty strongly for Doan's
Kidney Pills that cured him."

Melbourne News.
The farmers in and about Mel
bourne are in better financial condi-
tion than they have been for several
decades. We know of a great many
farmers who, only few years since,
were very badly in debt, and every
thing they had was under a mort
gage, and today those same farmers
are out of debt and living at home,
with plenty of money-money even
to lend. The mortgage is a detri-
ment to the farming class. It buries
every hope and extinguishes the fire
of zeal and courage. Let's quit Civ
ing them forever.

Niillport Happenings.

I will not burden the patience of
the readers of The Dispatch with a
very lengthy amount of news this
week, as nothing of any great inter
est has transpired here recently.
We have a most beautiful spell of
weather just now-almost like a
spring morning. We are beginning
to feel like gardening some.
a good deal of sickness around
yet. mostly grip. Every one seems
to have a cold.
The young people had quite an in
teresting singing on Sunday night,
which was conducted by Prof. Mad
dox, who is an expert singer.
1t seemed like all the young people
in town had walking spell on them
Sunday evening. They went in large
crowds, almost like black birds, TAX
ing an evening promenade; some
of the girls with their '.fellers," " some
without any at all. We have SO many
girls that all of them can't have a
beau at the same time, as there are
so many more girls than boys. We
think they had some rustic picture
groups made along the railroad, as
they collected in groups by our little
photographers.
Some of our boys went to Fay
cite Saturday. Guess some of them
have girls up there, which explains
their visit.
Mrs. Richards, who has been on
the sick list SO long, is still confined
to her room.
Capt. White paid a flying visit to
his home Saturday from the legisla-
ture TO be with his family for few
hours.
Mrs. Mary Stovall, of Jasper, Ala,
is visiting her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. N. Propst.
We are sorry to note the death of
Mr.. Geo. Scholar, who died in Bir-
mingham Friday. We extend our
sympathy to his relatives who live
here in their sad bereavement.
Mr.. J. w. Carothers spent Sunday
with his family, but will leave again
Monday.
Mr.. r. n. Waldrop, Jr., made fly
ing trip to the Magic City of Bir-
mingham. He was quite lucky to
make his escape from injury, being
in the car just behind the one that
got so badly wrecked on Friday night
on the East Lake car line. He re-
ports it to have been most horri-
BILE sight.
Mr.. S. E. Propst, our former opra- |
tor here. has left in company with
his brother, Mr.. Joe Propst, of Ken |
nedy, to go in search of health, hav-
ing been a victim of a bad case of |,
lung trouble. We hope for him a /
speedy recovery.
Mrs. Annie Baysinger, of Colum-
bus. is visiting relatives in Millport.
Capt r. n. Waldrop, Sr., has gone
to the commissioners court which
Is in session in Vernon this week, he
being one of the members of the
board.
Mrs r. V. windham has been on
the sick list the past week.
