The men are said to have been in

it is reported, began shooting at MI
Pinkston's dog, and when the latter
demonstrated was fired on himself
and would doubtless have been
wounded had not Jones knocked
Shivers hand up just as the gun
fired. 1t is a very serious offense to
interfere with mail carrier, and the
United States government will In all
probability investigate the affair.
We start today to live through an
other week. The duties of each day
are these: Speak better words, do
pobler acts, be more Cody, dissent
nate more sunshine, quit telling all
the ugly things you have heard about
YOUR neighbor and speak of his good
deeds.
The stewards of the PARROT Meth
odist church have purchased nice
new heater for the church. 1t was
badly needed. \ Now, let everybody
see them at once and give what they
desire to pay for it. Do your duty;

it by. Ask Bob Shippey about it.
