Will Begin Receiving Tobacco MOnda,

A great lot of tobacco was brought
to Hartford Monday which, could not
be handled on account OF the over
crowded condition of the big ware
house here. Some OF it was taken
back home, while a great deal Of 1t
was stored in every available house
that could be secured until it could
be received at the warehl.kse. Mr.. T.
NJ. Barron, manager for the Imperial
Tobacco Company, informs The Her
aid that he will be ready to begin
receiving tobacco again next Monday,
Dec. 2Sth. 1t is estimated that about
1925, 900 has been paid out at the pool
ing house here within the past week.
When It is ncted that one-f3urthI OF
the purchase was delivered the first
week, 1t is NOT strange that The capac-
ity of the large factory was overrun,

500 Reward, 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being a constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internal
ly, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-
ton and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for
list of testimonials. Address,

Parrish Jury Fails 10 Agree.

Hawesville, KY, Dec. 21.-After be
ing out since 1926 O'Clock Saturday
morning, the jury in tie case OF
james H. Parrish, former President
of het defunct Greensboro Savings
Bank and Trust Company, was this
morning discharged, having reported
to Judge Kelly that 1t was impossible
TO reach an agreement.
Judge Kelly set the case for retrial
at the March, term of court, and Par
ristl was released under a bond of
$4,000, which was furnished by four
Greensboro men.
The charge against Parrish was N-
ceiving deposits when he knew his
bank to be insolvent, and the trial,
which was transferred from Daviess
county by Special Judge Kelly APP
poinftd 10 try the case, occupied some
time
The jury had been oait but three
hours when a ballot was taken stbw-
ing the members standing eight for
conviction and four fort acquittal.
This alignment did not CHANGE dur
ing the entire time the jurors were
out. and the foreman reported sever
al times TO Judge Kelly that an agree
ment was impossible but it was not
until this morning that re Judge
came to the conclusion il was useless
to keep the panel out any longer.

was the result Of a mistake or came
frcm the cooler, which, however, had
been used regularly for some time

in the belief that poison was placed
