A GOOD REASON.
Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi.
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment Of any kind, do
not for moment imagine that colds
are not dangerous. Everyone knows
that pneumonia and chronic catarrh
have their origin In a common cold.
Consumption is not caused by a cold
but the cold prepares the system for
the reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found lodgment. 1t Is the same with
all Infections diseases. Diphtheria.
scarlet fever. measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be
contracted when the child has cold.
You will see from this that more
real danger Turks in cold than In
any other Of the common ailments.
The easiest and quickest way to cure
cold is to take Chamberlain 8
Cough Remedy. The many remarks

tion have made 1t staple article o.

sense sounds unAmerican for 1t i'm

FINE SPECIMEN
FOR MUSEUM

quired by purchase from Mr.. Smith
Of Rifle, the head and skin Of one 9.
the finest black tailed deer ever seen
in Colorado which he will present
with his compliments to the state tn
be mounted and placed st the head OF
one of the ta1idermists groups in the
Carter Museum OF Natural History
in the City Park at Denver.
The specimen in question was shot
by Mr.. Smith near the headwatars of
the north fork of the White river,
under the brakes of Sleepy Cat noun.
tain, in Garfield county and is stat.
ed by Mr.. DeWeese to be the lar.
gest and most perfect he had ever
seen in his thirty.seven years ex-
perience as hunter.
The antlers are semi .palmated =,
\ =
have spread of forty inches and
contains twenty-four regular tines
or points. IL is asserted by Mr.. De.
Weese that not one deer in ten
thousand has as superb pair of
antlers as the one killed by Mr.
Smith and he said that he would
have gladly given five hundred dol
lars had he been privileged to
shoot it.
Mr.. Smith is an amateur sports
man and never shot a deer before
securing the magnificent specimen
of last wsek. 1t weighed in q
dressed condition about one hundred
and seventy five pounds and must
have been about ten years old. Mr..
DeWeese has been very liberal con-
tributor to the Carter Museum of
Natural History, giving more to it.
perhaps. than anybody, except it's
founder. Among Mr. DeWeese 8
benefactions may be mentioned the
magnificent moose head, secured by
him In Alaska, and the Owls Nelsoni,
or mountain sheep, for which he made
two special hunting trips down into
the Oorderillas Of southern Mexico.
The moose head is the largest of it's
kind in the United States, the antlers
being palmated, having thirty two
points and spread Of sixty-eight
inches. Canon City Record.

HURT while AT
WORK ON new JAIL

Henry Allison WAS taken to his
home at 9l2 Barr avenue in semi
unconscious condition on Wednesday
In consequence of q large rock fall.
ing upon him while employed OH the
foundation of the new Jail building
at All Macon avenue. Mr.. Allison is
a stone mason by occupation and was
working down in the foundation
trench nine or ten feet below the sur.
face. when stone weighing, per-
haps, a hundred pounds, rolled down
upon him from the top of the trench,
striking him on the shoulders and
back, injuring him very severely.
Mr.. Allison WAS rendered unconsciou
by the blow, but partially recovered
few minutes later. His compan-
Ions ran to his assistance on seeing
the accident and he was carried to
sho Souie housc hnu ChEElhke BuH :
moned to convey him home. An ex.
animation Of his injuries revealed
the fact that no bones we're broken.
although badly bruised. That he
WAS not killed is regarded as little
short OF the miraculous by the men
who witnessed the accident
He wss STOPPING over at the time
and the principal weight fell upon
his shoulders. which is regarded ~
most fortunate for him; had 1t struck
him In the small of the back Il would
in all probability have broken his
spinal column. Mr.. Allison's condi-
tion Is somewhat improved. but IL
still alarming to his friends. He il
as unable to turn in bed as much az
would be the case we're he victim
Of paralysis His friends are con nfident
of his ultimate recovery, but 1t is
likely to be some time before he can
go to work again. Canon City Rec.

P. A. Green.

/ After an illness that covered
the past two years, Mr.. P. A.
Green died at his home in this
place at an early hour Monday
morning, surrounded by his fam
! lily and a number of close friends.
| Mr.. Green was for many years
a conspicuous figure in Lee coun-
| ty. He was born near Tuscum-
bia, Ala. on Nov. 20, 1886 and
moved to Mississippi in 1855. He
settled near Tupelo and has re-
sided here ever since. When
the civil war come on, he enlist
ed in the Confederate seryice
and served with gallantry the
four years that followed. After
the war he engaged in farming
and owned considerable proper
ty adjacent to Tupelo. He was
an active figure in the politics of
the county but never sought'ofice
for himself. He was active in
all matters of public interest
and was well known as man of
lavish hospitality and many char
liable deeds. AS a friend, he
was at all times loyal, as a neigh
Dor, kind and generous. He was
a devoted husband andfather. He
was a member of the Christian
church and attended regularly
its services and ordinances when
permitted by health to do so. Mr..
Green is survived by two daugh-
tiers, Mrs. C. T. Williams and
Miss Phoeba Green, Fseveral sis
ters and one brother. The fam
lily have the deepest sympathy
in their sad bereavement.
A short service VISA conducted
by Elder M. H. Armour at the
residence Tuesday morning, af-
ter which the remains were car
ried to Union cemetery near Bel
den and laid to rest. Rev. S. D.
Shelton conducted the services
at the grave. A large number
Of friends were present to pay
their last tribute of respect.

judgement Affirmed in
Nickerson Case.

The Supreme court on Monday
handed down an opinion affirming
the Judgment of our Circuit
Court awarding ]. T. Nickerson
81, 500 damages against the St.
Louis and San Francisco R. R.
Co.. at the November term 1907,
for the loss of a foot in the
yards of the road here in Tupelo.
Nickerson was a brake man on
the front Of the train. His train
came in from Meridian and was
heading in the yards and just as
engine passed the depot Nicker-
son attemp ted to step on the foot
piece on the cow-catcher, but
slipped. His foot was caught
under the cow-catcher and drag
ged to frog and there mashed
off. 1t was thecontention of the
plaintiff that had the frog been
blocked it would have been i'm
possible for his foot to have been
caught and he would have sus-
tained little or no injury. The
road took the position that plain
tiff was acting in violation of
the rules of the company in at
tempting to step on the cow
catcher, and further that it was
the policy of the road to leave
the frogs unblocked as it was the
experience of the road that the
latter was the least dangerous to
employees. The supreme court
held that the lower conrt had
followed the law in it's rulings
and that the verdict of the jury
and judgement should stand.
