this proposition: Shall the sale,
barter or loan of spirituous, vinous

the people of Powell on their stand

said. with squeals of rage and dis
gust he tumbles once a week into a
hot bath, and is thoroughly scrubbed
with stiff brushes dipped in strong,
soft soap. This cleanliness keeps him
always well, and 1t increases his
weight 20 per cent.
"All our agricultural colleges now
advise the pig to battle. BY expert
ments they continually show that
baths cause him to fatten fifth bet

IL You Suffer from Headache.

ache. 1t is not normal condition and
unless due to some functional disorder
or to defective eyes usually can be
traced to overeating or to sleeping in
badly ventilated rooms.

fresh air and your headaches are apt
to vanish.

"Wm. W. Wyatt. a farmer near
the Montgomery and Bath county
line, had sowed several large plant
beds and he was visited by Il large
crowd of night riders last night,
who destroyed his plant beds, roll
ed up his new canvas, dug a grave
in one of his plant beds and left a
written notice that if he sowed any
more seed he would be buried in
the grave they had dug and that
the canvas should be his winding
sheet"
