BIG DOWNPOUR
OF WATER
Good the Weather Man
iSin Bad Repute Rain
fall Of Three Inches

Unless there is a radical change in
the weather before night, there is a
strong probability that Jacob Good,
local representative of the u. S.
Weather Bureau, win be the guest of
honor at "neck-tie party" within
twenty-four hours.
Public indignation at Goods non
feasance, mis-feasaDce, mal.feasance
and fool-feasance in office ran high to-
day. "He ought to be lynched," Make
him resign" and similar sentiments
were freely expressed.
The trouble is thai Good pulled the
cork out of the heavens and either
misplaced it or went off and forgot
about 1t. At any rate, his criminal
carelessness has resulted in about
three inches of water being spilled
over this entire section since about
$3.50 Tuesday afternoon. Up to noon
yesterday, his rain gauge showed about
two inches Of precipitation and an
other inch Of water fell in the twenty
four hours ending at noon today.
When Mr.. Good was notified that
night riders were organizing to handle
his case. he manifested considerable
contrition and promised to do his
best to stop the leak.

G. o. FARRIS WANTED.

Centralia and Mexico
Creditors Guessing.

The Centralia Courier contained
the following last week:
A lot of creditors in Centralia
aud Mexico would like to know the
whereabouts Of q o. Farris. n far.
mer southwest nf town. The OH.
GERS OF the law also want MIR. Farris
for mortgaging mortgaged property
aud selling property that did not
belong to him. George has been
going the pace that kills for some
time past. Recently his wife died
and his friends hoped he would
straighten up, but he evidently
bad planned to go 10 the bad and
the dispensation of Providence only
hastened the day of his undoing.
Last week he took all the live
stock in his possession to Shelby
county and sold it. He also took
several horses belonging 10 g. II.
Early and J. r. Brown and sold
them. Before anyone knew Of his
sales he had left for parts unknown
and il is reported that a young
woman of the neiguborhUod also
left with him, however nothing de.
fnitely is known as to this. MIR.
CHI Early went mp about Clarence
Saturday and lOcated live stock on
which he haG had a mortgage in
three counties. All that Farris
left behind was two jennets, besides
Il pasture bill. Mexico and Au-
drain county men have levied on the
jennets for about $1,000. How
ever, Rolla Welmot says that the
jennets are. his and that he has wit
nesses to their purchase. 1t is es'
timated that Mr. Farris leaves $4,000
of debts, besides what he realized
by selling mortaged property. II
he can be caught. n term in the
penitentiary will probably be his
fate. In fact, considering bi:
disreputable conduct aud the man.
ner in which he treated those who
favoried him. the pen itentiary il
too good for him.
