Murdered and Robbed,

In a little fringe of woods on the
edge of Paradise creek, near Nor
folk, Va, murder was revealed when
a party of searchers out securing
the country in quest of j. L. Benton,
merchant, who had been missing
from his home on Deep Creek shell
road since last Friday, found him with
a gaping wound in his face.
Robbery was undoubtedly the ruling
motive of the crime and a shotgun was
the weapon.
Industrious and possessed of large
famil yto care for, Mr.. Benton had ac-
cumulated considerable money, which
he carried about with him wherever
he went. He had in his pockets when
he left his home on Friday morning
nearly 5000. When his pockets were
searched the money was gone.

Do Ghosts Haunt Swamps

No, Never. Its foolish to fear a
fsncied evil, when there are real
and deadly perils to guard against
in swamps and marshes, bayous and
lowlands. These are the malaria
germs that cause ague, chills and
fever, weakness, aches in the bones
and muscles and may induce deadly
typhoid. But Electric Bitters de-
stroys and casts out these vicious
germs from the blood. ''Three

Some Smyrna People Have

ONE OF THE FRATERNITY.

George Shlosser in a committeeman
in the National Editorial association.
That is going some for a man who has
no connection with the newspaper
business and has never been an edi-
tor.-Salem Pioneer-Register
This sounds strange to anyone who
knows George Schlosser's work in
connection with newspapers for near
ly thirty years. For nearly a score
OF years he has been the managing
editor who has assembled the matter
and printed from two to four pages
of cores of South Dakota weekly
newspapers. He has always taken a
lively interest in the newspaper work
in the state and when he has attend
ed editorial meetings, as all of the
newspaper publishers know, he has
been one of the most active workers
and the man who looked after the
details OF entertainment. If he took
enough interest in the newspapers of
South Dakota to help to represent
them at the national meeting, and if
the national association recognized
his ability and hustling qualities to
the extent that they gave him an i'm
portant position as a committeeman,
South Dakotans generally will con-
graduate him and themselves that he
was so honored.-Sioux Falls Press.
A history of South Dakota newspa-
pers interests that did not include
Schlosser and his work would
be a very poor and incomplete his
tory indeed-Aberdeen News.
Yes, the writer set his first type
for George Schlosser in Wisconsin

lister was still in the Soup and after
he sold out his paper at Blunt and
became manager of the Aberdeen

study for some time before locating
in Brookings. This Is probably ancl-
ent history to the editor of the Pho
neer-Register but there are a few pub
fishers remaining in South Dakota

a publisher and are willing to ac-
cord him the honor of being one OF

make to Mrs. Chas. Martinson.
Through no fault of Jul own we last
week recorded that she had been
operated upon at the hospital, while

better health. All day Friday, she
tells us, she was kept busy answering
phone calls and explaining to her
anxious friends that she was in per-
feet health. The Register is glad that
the report was unfounded, and will
try and not let a mistake of that kind
occur again.

car The News apparently has had
the same experience as the Republi-
can. This paper has given gener-
ously OF its space for the publication
of advertising matter for the state
fair and has never received a single
order from Secretary McIlyaine for
printing. Hundreds Of letters are
received begging great quantities OF
free space but the printed matter is
apparently secured from firms that
cannot and do not give any adyertis-
ing help to the state fair. The Re
full share in advertising the state
fair, because the fair is more import
ant to the state than in the distribu-
ton of the printing done for it. At
the same time there is something in
the contention of the News that more
support Of the fair
would probably be secured from the
newspapers of the state if reciprocity
should be observed by the secretary
Of the fair in dealing with them. 1t
is hoped, however. that everybody
who can possibly do so, will attend
the state fair and see what fine pro-
ducts have come from South Dakota
soil in this year that has been dis
for so many other states.

splendid program II none who at
