A POOR FARMER FINDS
81, 900 IN GOLD AND SILVER
While Tearing Down Old Chimney Finds a
Can Of Old Coin Beneath the
Hearth Stone
HOARD OF A MlSER FINALLY REVEALED

MayKing, KY, Jan. l3.-Hut
Hall, a very poor farmer who lives a
bout ten miles north of here, found
$1,000 in gold and silver yesterday.
Hall was building a chimney to
new house he had Just erected near
the place where the residence of AL
len Hall once stood. Allen Hal,
was rich old miser, and was thought
to have great deal of money in his
lifetime, but when he died some eight
or ten years ago his children and
heirs never found any money. after
he died his widow and her youngest
son still resided in the house.
later on some few years ago she
was murdered one night by motor
ious gang of robbers and regulators.
1t was thought by the neighbors that
this band of robbers secured Halls
money.
Later on the old residence was
burned. So when Hut Hall was use
ing the old chimney rocks and dug
up the hearth stone, he found under
it an old rusty bucket containing ST.
900 in gold and silver, which was
black and furnished with age.
Now the heirs of Allen Hall have
brought suit against the man
who found the money, claiming it to
be Allen Halls money, which they
suppose he buried there many years
ago perhaps before the late war.

The -Four Leaf Glover Quartette.

The Four Leaf Glover Quartette
has secured Mr.. Percy Noggle to
fill the vacancy made by Mr.. Shrodes
who recently left for Hopkinsville.
MIR. Noggle is musician of note,
having been connected with bands
and quartettes for the last twenty
years, and We predict quite an i'm
provement in this organisation in
the near future. Miss Sallie Woods
will fill the place made vacant by
Mrs. Shrodes. This makes very
strong organization, as all the men,
bers are good musicians, and have al
ways pleased the audiences wherever
they have appeared. They will be
heard once week in the leading
churches in town, and no one should
miss this treat.

MISS MATTE PERRY
Wins THE $50 RANGE
Young School Teacher, Daughter Of G. ".
Perry the Capitalist, The Fortunate
Person in Range Contest
DRAWING TOOK PLACE LAST SATURDAY

Mrs. A. S. Cavendar inauguratec
a contest last fall by which each Gus
toner, not only received full value
for each dollar spent at that store,
but was also given a chance to wiz
a magnificent steel range with all
the utensils complete. The idea was
quite original and quite popular.
The ladies all wanted that range.
for there is nothing a good housewife
takes greater delight in than hel
kitchen.
Last Saturday was the day set fol-
the drawing, and little Miss Vera
Conyer was chosen to draw the win
ming ticket, which she did after be-
ing blind-folded. When the name
on the ticket was read out "Miss
Matte Perry" it caused quite de-
cline in the range stock some of the
ladies held.
Miss Perry is being congratulated
and We hear she is to give a big
dinner and cook it all herself on the
new range and invise a number of
her friends to show them what a
good cook she is.

Canyon, City, Tex, Jan. 9, 1907.
DEAR MAsRHALL'
Press coming regular now. We
are glad to get it. We have had
nothing but spring weather since we
came to the Panhandle of Texas, you
ought to be out here and enjoy the
fine weather with US. Land is very
rich, will grow anything you plant.
No hills, no rocks, no bushes or vines
fine climate. Plenty Of good water
for man and beast. Land cheap vet,
but going up all the time. Anyone
who bought section Of land January
lst 1906 for $4,000 is now worth
$4,000 and can be sold for this amount.
Hundreds of men are coming here
from the north and east and buying
this land. This land will advance
So or more on the acre before this
year closes.
This land Is too good to stay down
where it is. This is big country
and thinly settled. Taxes are $40
to $12 per section Of $40 acres for
one year. How is that? Well,
Marshall this is a purely farming
prairie country, fifty bushels Of wheat
was grown per acre near this town in
1906. Alfalfa, corn, kafir corn,
maize and in fact everything in here
to show for itself. Fruit and vege-
tables and small berries do excellent.
The man that buys some Of this dirt
now is the man that makes the money.
Well must close for this time. Hope
you all had a merry Xmas.

The LONG TALKED OF DEBATE HELD
LAST FRIDAY NIGHT
Result Was Highly Gratifying 10 all The
Friends Of the Marion Speakers
MARION HIGH SCHOOL TRIO
vs.. M0RGANFIELD TRIO

For time immemorial there has ex-
listed pleasant rivalry between
Marion and Morganfeid which has
furnished amusement to the adherents
Of each city on every occasion, when
the residents of these places came in
contact with each other. Morgantield
the capital city Of Union-the fairest
garden spot in western Kentucky,
and in fact all the citizens of Union,
have always regarded Crittenden
county-and her commercial metropo-
lis Marion, with more or less disdaln,
and it has been only recently, since the
great mineral development has un-
covered the wealth which has been
buried for centuries-that they have
recognized in us, a rival worthy of
their highest respect, and their equal
in wealth, progress, education and re-
finement. This feeling has ripened
into ties of friendship in social mat
tiers as well as those of business,
church and school, which is a good
omen-one welcomed by the Press
which has ever advocated those
things which broaden the mind and
mellow the heart in all the affairs of
life.
This being the case We welcomed
Prof. Burton and the speakers chos-
en- as the best his school had pro-
duced, last Friday when they arrived
here to meet the speakers of our own
school in debating the question, Re.
solved That Labor Unions are more
Pernicious than Trusts" The audi.
forum Was crowded long before the
hour for the debate, with friends Of
our school, from Marion and vicinity
and of the Morganfeld school from
that city and Dixon. Quite a mum
Der of loyal friends to the Morgan
field school having accidently drop
ped in Just to hear the debate?
The Marion speakers were Misses
Annie Dean, Fenwick Wathep and
Mr.. Gray Rochester. The Judge
selected by Marion was Prof. T. j.
Coates, of Princeton. Marion took
the affirmative side of the question.
The Morganfeld speakers were
Miss Verlie Coffman and Messrs.
Paul Schmidt and Thos. Waller, and
their Judge was f. G. Sage, of Cory
don, they taking the negative side of
the question.
The musical programme was rend-
cred by Mesdames j. w. Wilson and
S. NJ. jenkins and Miss Madeleine
Jenkins.
Mr.. Gray Rochester opened the de-
bate for Marion and his speech was a
mastery one. His language was
fore full, his delivery dlgnifed and
his speech was well received and
pleased his hearers, who pronounced
it unanswerable. Mr.. Paul Schmidt
of Morganfeld, replied for the mega
tive. Miss Fenwick Wathen next
appeared for Marion. She was at
perfect ease and was grace itself on
the stage. Her language was we'll
chosen and her very appearance ap-
pealed to the entire audience aud
from the start it was as plain as sun
light that she was a winner of both
debates and hearts as well. She
took the audience by storm.
Miss Verlie Coffman replied for
Morgan field, after which Miss Annie
Dean appeared for Marion. Her
dark eyes fash ed, as with keen rep
artee she replied to the weak argu-
ments Of her opponents. Miss Deans

Funny Toothache Cures.

Before the days of dentists and when
people generally believed in the value
Of charms there were ever so many
mysterious ways Of preventing tooth
ache. One of these was to dress the
right side of the body first-right stock
ing, right shoe, right sleeve, right glove
A favorite plan in Scotland was to
draw tooth, salt 1t we'll and burn it
In full view on glowing Goals. In
Cornwall many save their teeth by
biting the first young ferns that ap-
pear.
The custom Of catching a common
ground mole, cutting off the paws while
the little creature still lives and wear
ing them is traced to Staffordshire,
England. Some people who are fond
of exercise believe that walking twelve
miles-no more, no less-to get a splin-
ter of the toothache tree will drive
away the worst ache and pain that
ever tortured poor tooth. The belief
that toothache is caused by a worm at
the roots is prevalent in many parts of
the world hence this cure: Reduce
several different kinds of herbs-the
greater variety the better-to a pow
der. Put glowing cinder into this
powder and inhale the incense. After
ward breathe into cup Of water and
the worm will be gone forever.
