felt the ardor burning In the eyes O!
the man who lad loved her ever
since they had been playmates.
AT the thought Of life without his
love her eyes filled, and there seem

note of tenderness as she said. Ms

Yes said the man. taking her
hand and clasping 1t close. Yes, and
my dreams have been of a home,
with you for its queen my wife, ever
since we were childish comrades,
You surely know that, Dora. Which
shall it be, dear? Is 1t art YOU love
best or Is 1t me? Which Dora?"
The girl lifted shy, happy face,
radiant with love, and whispered;

Thanks, Brother O'DanieL,

Last weeks Advertiser was given
over to religious topics. 1t is con-
tended by some that a secular paper
should studiously avoid everything
that pertains to churches. except when
something really exciting occurs. or
when the preacher or organist make
a racket. We happen to know thing
or two about the Advertiser and it's
editor and feel safe in saying that the
course taken, so far as pertains to
affairs religious, will meet the hearty
approval of its splendid list of readers.
We need more papers and editors of
the same type-Clinton Chronicle.

Mysterious Shooting

Chas. Petry, Jr., was shot OH
the night of Monday Jan. 4th.
AS near as can he learned he re-
ceived his wound In Wingfleld's
pool room on West North street
and wandered over to Ming's,
whore he was put to bed. The
night clerk said he walked in
there about 2 am. without a
hat coat or shoes, and 1t was
quite cold. Petry says he was
intoxicated and doesn't know who
shot him neither will he say
where he got the liquor. The bull
let entered near the center Of his
breast and passed to the left lodg
ing near the collar bone. He Is
up and hround. Several theories
are advanced, but no one who

Financial Effects of Local OPP
ton in Marshall.

On request Of several Marshall
citizens we interviewed the ma
jority Of our business men this
week to find what effect loca
option had on their business. The
last saloon closed six months ago
and therefore it Is still very diff
ficult to tell the effect accurately
as local conditions have much
weight. The grocery men were
lelrly unanimous in saying that
they were benefited. The dry
goods mon were a Htt,e uncertain
n the matter, but were certain ii
did them no harm. One clothing
man said he didn't notice the Ell
'ect one way or another, while "A

crease during 1908 OF their sales
and gave local option full credit
therefor.
The bankers said business was
better, but were uncertain as to
the cause, as it was very hard to
tell. one banker stated that the
BANKERS did very little business
with the heavy drinkers and
therefore could tell the effect on
these persons only through the
merchants. Several commented
on the improved moral condition
Of the city.
City Clerk Alexander sail he
was not at liberty to give out
figures now but was making out
n semi-annual report that he
would present to the council next
Monday night, after which it
would be given out for publication
but he said a5 far as he could
tell the city's finances are In
good shape. The $4,000 Of IL
ccnse revenue lost was being
made UP for by the special mer-
lchants license and little raise.
County Collector Barnhill'S re-
port following shows an unusual
condition i'm his office, and that
ought to be pretty good indi-
cation Of the county's financial
status. He says the total col
icctions for December were $135-
G3479 as against SfOS,751.20 in
in December 1907. This increase
of $4,000 in December Is Tart-
ly due TO the extra ten per cent
tax on acreage producing $4,000
additional revenue, but the $4,000
increase Is ,again offset by the
loss of $4,000 license money in
1907 This would make the ac-

Mrs. Willie M. Wood.

A cablegram was received
Tuesday stating that Mrs. Willie
NJ. Wood had died ON Monday,
Jan 11th, at Nice France, where
Mrs. Wood and daughter, Miss
Fannie, with two lady friends
from Springfield were spending
the winter.
Mrs. Wood was the widow Of
Will ii. Wood, one Of the founders
OF the Wood & Huston Bank, who
preceded her in death in 1890.
She was born in this county in
September, 1914, and was mar
rled first to Jay NJ. Potter, a
wealthy citizen OF this county,
after his death was married to
Mr. Wood. Mrs. c. M. Buckner,
of this city, Is a daughter of the
first union and Miss Fannie Wood
the only daughter Of the second
union.
She was a consistent member
Of the Southern Methodist church
and has many good deeds of her
credit.
Mrs. Wood had been suffering
from asthma and bronchitis and
found the warm southern climate
beneficial, so that the past few
winters were spent in mllder re-
glons with considerable relief,
yet she had been growing weaker
and those who told her good bye
lseveralg months ago did so under
the presentiment that 10 would
be the last time they would have
that opportunity. Several weeks
ago she grew worse and a letter
last week to c. M, BUcknSr indicat
cd that her condition was be-
coming serious.
The remains will arrive here

DRESS TO THE FORM.
Trimmings Of Gown, as Well AZ Mate.
rial, Are Most Important.

Here is some good advice for stout
women and for those below the me-
dunn height:
For stout figures. arrange the trim
ming on the gown from the shoulder
to waist, and trim the sleeves up from
the wrist, or from the top of the sleeve
down, according to fashion. Or they
can be worn without trimming; in this
case the sleeve must be very good
shape and perfect fit. Short women
should never wear deep fiounces or too
many small ones. All their dress trim
mings, to look we'll. must be put On
the gown lengthways, and the bodice
trimmed to correspond with the skirt.
Medium sized women, if not too stout
or too slender, can wear almost any
style Of dress. At the same time they
must be careful to avoid any fashion
that will cause them to appear either
too stout or too short: and it is as
we'll to understand that quite light

set pattern. when made up into dresses

was willing to give Pa carte blanche,
whatever that is. in his love affairs in

believed in encouraging art, and all
that, but animals that wouldn't wash
were not up to the Hagenbach stand

Pa went off and sulked all day, but
he made good the next day.
Our intention was to let elephants
alone until We were about to return

find them any day. and after you have
once captured your elephants you have
got to cut hay to feed them, but Pa

he was going to use her for a pointer

We got about a mile into the jungle
