Gasoline is cheaper than oats when
compared on mileage basis. Practi-
cal people like doctors and farmers and
in fact anyone who has much driving
to do are buying motor buggies to save
both time and expense. Inventions
such as the automobile never disappear
after coming into use but find and
retain n place. Motor vehicles will
settle In the place where most needed
and each year do wider variety Of
work until finally they will be recog-
nized as the worlds greatest and most
profitable means Of transportation.
The motor buggy is fast. taking the
place Of the horse and buggy. 1t costs
less to maintain than q horse. 1t con-
sqnies fuel only when in actual use.

GRAND JURY ENDS
 A BUSY SESSION
LIMESTONE COUNTY IS OUT OF DEBT AND HAS A NEAT SUM IN THE TREASURY-THE CRIMINAL COURT IS BUSY.

Athens October 16-(Special.)- )-The fall term of the grand jury has just adjourned after a ten days session. Forty-two true bills were returned, 32S witnesses were examined and 76 cases put on the docket. The jury examined the books of the county officers and report the neatly kept and correct. The poorhouse comes in for roast. The report says that the jury found two inmates. both poorly clad and dirty, living in a filthy cabin. The jury recommends better treatment. better clothes and better houses for the county poor. The jail which was recently so severely condemned by the assistant jail inspector comes in for a mild crit icism. The jury recommends that the top cells be better ventilated and that the cells for women be given more light and air. The most entertaining part of the report is the fact that the county is out of dept and there is balance to its credit of s6525 .O9. This is the first time in years that the county has been out of debt.
 The criminal court is moving rapidly and the solicitor is having fine results from his prosecution of the criminal class He has convicted a number of selling whisky, carrying pistols and other crimes. The court is now occupied with a mur- der care John Brown charged with hav ing murdered negro in the south part of the county.

A. B. RUSSELL DIES
 AT GAYLESVILLE
WAS PRESIDENT OF THE. NEW BANK AND PROMINENT IN VARI- oUS LOCAL ENTERPRlSES-HIS DEATH CAME SUDDENLY.

Centre, October 16.-(Special. "A. B. Russell of Gaylesville, head of the firm of A. B. Russell & Co.,, and president of the Gaylesville band, died suddenly last night at the age of 60 years. He attended to business all day yesterday, apparently in good health. He ate heartily as usual at supper and retired without any com plaint. He aroused his wife about mid night trying to speak. He died in few minutes. The Russell family has been prominent in the county from it's early history. Rev. Samuel Russell, father Of the deceased, was a leading minister in the early history of the Cumberland Presbyterian church and one of his broth CTS, the late Rev. S. L. Russell, D. D., was one of the great preachers of that denomination. Mr. Russell was noted for his business integrity and for his use- fitness as a citizen. He was prominent in the movement to organize a bank in his town last year and was made it's chief officer. This year he had, in asso- citation with other of his neighbors, or ganized a company to build cotton mill and sufficient stock has been subscribed in and near the place to begin the enter prise.
 Miss Amelia Cook died at her home, Kirk's Grove, yesterday after d brief ill., ness. She was known far and wide for her blameless Christian life and her devotion to her church. Her family has been dis tinguished for its high standing in the county from the early days of the coun- tvs history. Of the immediate family she is survived by her brothers, J. H. Cook, w. D. A. Cook and Dr. E. A. Cook, all leading and useful citizens. The Methodist church in that community has not suffered such loss in many years.

We had to strap him down in bed, for he used to tear himself dreadfully in his sleep. The agony he went through is quite beyond words. .,>No one thought we would rear him. The regimental the case hopeless; at least, he said the only hope was that he might, if he lived long enough, outgrow it to some extent. We had him in hospitals four times and he was pronounced one of the worst cases. if not the worst, ever admitted. From each he was dis charged as incurable; in fact he got worse under the successive treatments. At one hospital they incased him in plaster, and this seemed to aggravate the soreness terribly. He looked so badly that no one liked to go near him and his life was a burden to him. We kept trying remedy after remedy. but we had got almost past hoping for cure. Six months ago we purchased set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent Pills and persevered with them. The result was truly marvellous and to-day he is perfectly cured, his skin not having q blemish on it anywhere. Mrs. Lily Hedge. 51.
