estate man to obtain for him loan on
this land, which is finally arranged
for.
"He, Mr.. Butler, alias Hoover, then
takes the deed, which has been drawn
up, if it is delivered to him, or if fail
ing in this, inteTcepts the farmers
mail, by getting the deed out of the
post office or rural route mail box.
Having obtained the deed, he then
goes to his hotel or stopping place.
There he very cleverly forges the name
of the farmer end his wife to the deed;
/ also the name of the particular notary
to the Acknowledgement, and then
places the notary's seal to the ack1owl-
edgment on the deed.
"After a suitable time, he again calls
on the lawyer or real estate man and
shows him the deed, the identical deed
which the lawyer mailed to the farmer,
all properly signed, sealed and ac-
knowledged. He again explains that
he has paid full purchase price for the
land, and would now like to secure the
loan asked for on the place, as soon as
possible, so that he can return home
and move his family on the farm.
Thereupon the lawyer or real estate
man sends for the party who intends
to loan the money. This party, on his
arrival together with the lawyer or his
own lawyer, agent or banker, look over
the deed carefully and finding it, to all
appearances regular, the signatures
and notary seal genuine, makes loan,
takes note for the amount asked for,
and also mortgage on the farm, to Sc
cure the payment of the principal of
the note and interest. The deed and
mortgage are now recorded, then the
money in cash is paid over and this
slick imposter and forger skips the
town.

brilliantly as in the days when he
was captain OF the champion Varsity
team of the whole South There was
all the old dash in his playing, the
same snap as of yore, the same in
yincibility. That he should have
played a good game nearly a decade
after his graduation into the business
world is remarkable, but more re-
markable still was the scintillating
performance when it is considered
that he was called on more frequently
than all his teammates combined.
Grantland Rice in the Tennessean
says:
Edeerton The Hero.
There was honor enough for all
credit to Vaughn Blake for his fine
kick and his fine play all through the
afternoon; for the great work of the
veteran forwards-Stone, Patterson,
Chorn, Powell and Innis Brown, who
spilled nearly every line plunge with
a loss. for Hamilton and Hasslock
and Dan Blake, who were in the thick
of the scrimmage all the way; for
Jimmy Haygood and his big league
quarterback play at every angle; but,
when all is said and done, there is
nothing to it but to award the laurel
to Fullback Edgerton, the Bucking
Broncho of the vintage of 1902, who,
after a seven-year lapse, hit Dudley
Field with his old-time rush, and,
picking up just where he left off then,
battered the field before him like
battering ram hurled into case OF
eggs. There was no stopping the

one could have told but that the
Edgerton of 1909 was the same
Edgerton of 1902. Not only on Of
tense, where he gained his distance
time and again, but on defense, the
old star was the bright shining lumi-
nary of the day-the stalwart that
stood head and shoulders above the
field.
The Memphis News Scimitar pays
Edgerton the following tribute:
Vanderbilt was unable TO pentrate
the heavy line of the old timers and
it was directly due to the wonderful
line smashing of John Edgerton, the
former Memphis University school
coach, that the alumni were able TO
score.
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
says of the Columbian:
Too much credit cannot be give to
John Edgerton, the star of former
days. The Alumni quarterback ran
him two-thirds of the time and he al
ways responded by tearing through
the opposing warrior sfor five or TWEEN
ty-five yards.
There were other stars in the game.
In fact the cast was all-star. Ed.
Hamilton, former c. M. A. coach,
played fast and snappy ball at right
end. Innis Brown, who was here last
week assisting coach the locals, dis
tinguished himself at tackle. And
Vaughn Blake, as great as any of his
name, kept the contest from being
tie score by booting the ball through
the goal posts from the forty-five-yard
line. in the very last second of play.
The final score was Commodores 0;
Alumni 3.

heals and is quickly restored to nor
NAL condition.
In the various forms Of skin troubles
in both infants and adults. poslam pro-
duces beneficial results from the first
application. Eczema, acne, herpes,
rash, letter, etc, yield readily to its
remarkable curative properties. Occa-
sional applications will quickly Danish
pimples, blotches and complexion blem-
ishes and will relieve and cure itching

The fall and winter schedule of the
Maine Central Railroad will go into eff
feet Monday morning, Oct. 4, and the
train arrangement will be practically
the same as that of last winter. 1t had
been hoped by Bangor people that ar
engagements could be made whereby
train IS, which now goes east from Au-
gusta at 1888 =. NJ. running as far as
Waterville, could be run through to
Bangor, but the change was not made
and the train will continue to make
Waterville its terminus as heretofore.
The change would have been a great
convenience as it would have given a
train to the eastern part of the State,
for there is now no train going to Ban
gor from Augusta from 3.17 in the af-
ternoon until 12.47 the next morning. A
change in the official time table of the
Maine Central will be noticed in the
abolition of several pages of rules gov
erning the conduct of service of en-
ployes. These have been issued in a
book by themselves known as the stan
dard code of railroad rules and train
rights.

The Cony High football squad was
field Thursday afternoon for the first
time for the season and the boys show
ed up well. Capt Guy Smith has at
present IS candidates for positions on

merit. A number of last years plays
crs, among them being Smith, Shaw,
Morton, Mcdonald, Motherwell and
Ayers, will play on the team this year,
and these with the material from which
there is to choose should make up a
team that will be a credit to the school.

of the schedule for the season. The
team will play the first game of the
season at the County Fair next
Wednesday, Sept. %, with the Hal
