Has Grown a Bale of Hair Because
His Man Wasn't Elected.
In the morning of the presidential
election of 1850 David M. Pulver OF
Morocco, Ind, walked four miles to
a little old log school house to vote
for John c. Fremont.
While at the voting place he be-
came involved in a heated political
argument with neighbor, and
vowed then and there not to shave
if Fremont should be defeated. AS
a result of this vow Mr.. Pulver is
now wearing a beard fifty-seven years
old, and still there is no perceptible
sign of relenting on the part of the
wearer.
Mr.. Pulver is II years old, and
he has served continuously as justice
of the peace for fifty-one years. He
is one of the Oldest pioneers in New
ton county and in the early days 1t
was no unusual occurrence for him
to walk twenty miles through dense
forests and treacherous swamps to
perform a marriage ceremony, con-
graduating himself if he received a
coon skin or two as compensation.

PARAL YZED AT DINNER TABL {
Captain Hester, Confederate Veteran
and Prominent Citizen of Albany,
Stricken on Christmas Day.

Capt. J. T. Hester, tax collector
of Dougherty county for more than
twenty years, was stricken with pa
ralysis while eating Christmas din
ner at his home in Albany.
When the captain and others sat
down to enjoy the Christmas dinner
he seemed to be perfectly well. The
captain is always the life of any par
ty, and with jest and anecdote con-
tributed to the merriment of the oc-
casion until shortly before the end
of the meal, when his laughter and
flow of wit and humor gradually
ceased, and it was noticed that he
was listless and droWsy. When the
diners arose from the table Captain
Hester remained in his chair, limp
and listless. He was tenderly car
ried to his room. He was not en-
tirely unconscious, and was able to
talk to those about him. He said
he suffered no pain, and did not want
physician. Later in the afternoon,
however, a doctor was sent for, and
upon his arrival Immediately an
nounced that the patients right side
was paralyzed.
Captain Hester is a polished gen
tleman of the old school, and the
sad affection which has come upon
him causes general sorrow.
He was a loyal and enthusiastic
Confederate veteran, and several
years ago delivered the memorial adj
dress in Dawson.

GODDESS MONEY" REFUSED.
Preacher Turned Down New Golden
Coins of the Recent Issue.

Preacher turned Down New Golden
Coins of the Recent Issue.
''This is Goddess money; / refuse
to take it." declared Rev. DR.. w. A.
Jones, pastor of Presbyterian
church in Pittsburg, Pa, when at the
close of the Christmas tree in the
church on Christmas eve his con-
gregation presented him with a
purse containing 500 in new golden
coins, five of the new issue of $40
gold pieces.
My mother taught me to look for
the motto In God We Trust on the
coins of our country said DR.. Jones,
in a little speech to his congrega-
ton, "and when the president an
nounced his new order effacing the
inscription from the coins / swore
| would take no money that did not
bear the old motto"
Some of the congregation attempt
ed to argue the case. The pastor
tossed the gold into his hat and
handed it back with an air of finali-
ty. The trustees took back the mon
ey and agreed to change it for coin
bearing the required motto.

THE BAD POTATO BUG
His Great-Grandfather Lived in the
Highlands of Central America.

His Observation-Disclosures Lived in the
Highlands of Central America.
The original potato bug lived
somewhere in the highlands of Cen
trail America. From him descended
the great-grandfather of the insect
in question-the striped black-and-
white creature which still inhabits
the coast of the caribbean sea. This
insect never saw potato plant; it
lived on the wild sand-bur This
plant is distantly related to our Gull
tivated potato but until compare
lively lately (as such terms are un-
derstood in discussions of evolution) i,
no potato bug has been anything
but sand-bur bug.
When the Spaniards invaded Mex
leo, in 1919, they introduced horses,
and as the conquerors went north the
sand-bur plants multiplied in regions
where they had never been seen be-
fore, and the sand-bur beetle fol-
lowed them. From these migratory
beetles descended the present Colo
RADIO beetle, which was first recog-
nized as new species in the 18th
or 18th century; but even up to 1928
it still lived on the wild sand-bur,
and was not abundant or trouble
some. With the western movement
of civilization, however, the sand-bur
beetle and Irish potatoes were
brought in contact, and it was not
long before the beetle decided in
favor of the potato stalks as against
the fare furnished by the sand-bur.
He began to be a potato bug, and
so rapidly did he thrive upon his
new nourishment that inside of 40
years he was known and execrated
everywhere in the Unite States and
Canada.

Come in Handy Some Day
Here is a simple homemade mix
ture as given by an eminent authori-
ty on Kidney diseases, who makes
the statement in a New York daily
newspaper that it will relieve almost
any case of Kidney trouble if taken
before the stage of Bright's disease.
He states that such symptoms as
lame back, pain in the side, frequent
desire to urinate, especially at night;
painful and discolored urination are
readily overcome. Here is the rec
ipe; try it: :.
Fluid Extract Dandelion. one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa-
rilla, three ounces, Take a tea
spoonful after each meal and at bed
time.
A well-known druggist here in
town is authority that these ingre-
dents are all harmless and easily
mixed at home by shaking we'll IN a
bottle. This mixture has a peculiar
healing and soothing effect upon the
entire kidney and urinary structure,
and often overcomes the worst forms
of Rheumatism in just little while.
This mixture is said to remove all
blood disorders and cure the Rheu-
matism by forcing the kidneys to
filter and strain from the blood and
system all uric acid and foul, de-
composed waste matter, which cause
these Affections. Try it if you aren
we'll. Save the prescription.

ested In the sale of the state school
lands for Thursday, June 4, when the
adyisability Of initiating an act to be
