Quite stir was raised in this
and Lincoln county over the death
of a convict by the name of Reyn-
olds, sent from Lincoln county.
Reynolds died on the farm and
was taken out to Selma and buried.
From some cause, people, in the
neighborhood suspicioned foul
play. and coroner's inquest was
called and the body taken from
the grave and examined but the
jury seemed unable to determine
whet her the death was from natural
causes or not, and the situation
was left in no better condition.
Hence, it was thought best to
have another examination Of the
body made. SO last week, the Lody
was re-exhumed and post norton
examination was made by Drs.
Collins and Erwin and not the
least evidence of foul play was dis
covered. The people, however,
should be commended rather than
censured for their caution, for it
proves that they are humane and
will not stand for anything like
brutal conduct to the convicts. We
are glad that the convict farm peo-
pie were found guiltless.
Summer complaints and other
serios ailments common in hot
weather can be traced to the stom.

Take kodol when ever you fee
that you need it. That is the on
ly time you need to take Kodol
when you need it; then you will
not be troubled with sour stomach
belching, gas on the stomach
