The Miserable Cigaret.

Speaking of the $4,000 fire in the
Greenville garage, caused by the Gig
aret of small boy coming in contact
with gasoline while he was wiping off
an automobile, the Greenwood Journal
says:
Here was great loss of property
and all chargable to cigaret in the
mouth of boy; which is not only des-
tructive of property, but destroys the
physical and moral stamina Of every
youth who uses it. The fact is busi-
ness men should not employ cigaret
smoking boys. Certainly no one should
be allow, d to smoke while on duty. Mr..
Bates has our sympathy, but we hope
he will cut out the cigaret users in the
future. they have mop ace any wher',
certainly not in an automobile garage"

O'Clock, after four weeks illness cf
typhoid fever.
Young and full Of promise. and leav-

months, herself lyirg critically i'll with
the same malady, his death has cast a
pail of sorrow over the entire commu-

Mr.. and Mrs. Meetze had been i'll
in Columbia for week or ten days
prior to going to Irmo. Upon reach
ing home, Miss Shannon, a trained
nurse from Columbia, was summoned,
as was also DR.. l.. B. Owens: but in
spite of all that skill and careful nurs-

marked him as victim, and the end
came on Saturday night.
Young Meetze had been an employe
of the Fitzmaurice store, in Columbia,
for several months, and was held in
the highest esteem by all who knew
him.
His remains were laid to rest at Sa-

of large congregation of sorrowing
friends and relatives. The funeral
services, pathetic in the extreme, were
conducted by Rev. W. J. Roof.

Peruna Secrets
YOuShOuld KnOW)

Golden Seal, the root of the above
plant, is very useful medicine. Many
people gather it in our rich woodlands
during the summer. Few people know
how valuable it is in dyspepsia, catarrh.
and as a general tonic.
Many thousand pounds of this root are
used each year in the famous catarrh
remedy, Peruna. This fact explains why
everybody uses Peruna for catarrh.

Judge Kuykendall Honored

The following from the Sheridan
Enterprise will be pleasant read
ing for the many warm friends of
Judge Kuykendall and is a very
clear statement of some pertinent
facts in regard to the recent dem
cratic campaign:
1.-The local lodge is honored by
the presence of Past Grand Sire
huykendall, of Saratoga, one of
the oldest and best citizens of the
state of Wyoming, who had his
friends and the rank and file of
his party had their say might now
be occupying the governors chair.
The friends of Grand Sire Kuy-
kendall brot him forward last fall
as a candidate for governor on the
democratic ticket. He was ever
an exponent of that political creed,
IA citizen of the state for almost un-
numbered years and a man with
every qualification for the office
his admirers could elevate him to.
Was the choice of candidates left
to the common fellows of the DEM
ocratic party Grand Sire Kuyken
kali would have been named, but
he lacked one essential that the
mel who controlled necessary.
MIR k~uykendall had practiced
Friendship, Love and Truth so
assiduously that he had failed to
accumulate any considerable guam
tity of this worlds goods, and the
grand old man was turned down
for N who had nothing to Rocco
mend him to a democratic conven-
ton but a million of money. Had
the wishes of the majority of his
party prevailed Sheridan might
today be entertaining the chief
executive of the state, but Grand
Sire Kuykendall would rather be
right than be governor, and is
content with the respect and adj
miration of his fellow citizens, and
the love of every member of the
noble order of which he has been
the supreme head.

Decoration Day Observed Here

Decoration Day was one of the
most beautiful days that this count
ry eve saw in all its history. The
day was quite warm, with an oc-
casional light breeze to temper it.
A great many people went to the
city Genet ry during the day and
and a visit to that place in the
evening disclosed the fact that
at least two thirds of all the graves
there had been decorated with
flowers. On this day, not only
are the graves of the soldier dead
remembered, but the custom of
strewing flowers on the graves of
the dead by relatives, has grown
up and is pretty generally observ-
ed. 1t surprises one to see how
faithful to the memory of their
dead some people are. Here and
there, V e on an unmarked and
apparently neglected grave, one
would find a handful of flowers,
showing that the living had not
forgotten the pitiful remoins that
lay buried there. Some of the
wreaths and floral decorations We're
really fine but there were other
little remberances, so simple and
plain that it WAS evident that the
mourners had gone quietly to tn e
city of the dead and, with no dis
play of emotions, placed their lit
tie offerings on the mounds con-
tanning their dead, sho wing deep
seated reverence and love for those
who laid there.

Doing Good Flowing

The blowing now being done on
the Saratoga Land & Investment
Company's ranch west of town by
Wilcox & Arnold is a pleasant
sight to any one who likes to see
agricultural improvement go on
in the valley. They have a Reeves
traction engine and a gang of IL
plows and it is a great sight to
see that traction engine walk off
with ease and see the rich brown
earth roll over to the sun. They
have been blowing in that vicinity
for two or three weeks and have
turned over a large amount of the
virgin soil. At present they are
blowing raw sage brush lands

Another Land Opening

On June % at noon, the third
unit of the Shoshone project in
Wyoming will be opened to set
tiers. This unit which is adjacent
to the town of Ralston contains
some of the choicest land on the
project.
The successful entrymen will
secure farms in a country which is
already occupied by prosperous
farmers with the advantages of
good roads, railroads, telephones,
rural delivery, schools and church
es. No real pioneering is required
TO establish a home here. Water
is now ready for the land.
The Shoshone project lies in a
region of great scenic beauty with
a delightful and healthful climate
and a fertile soil. The Reclama-
ton Service at Washington has
prepared a booklet fully describing
this section and giving detailed
information as to methods of &C.

Dear Sir
The people Of Saratoga and
Encampment are losing a great
deal of trade AMI the travelling
public are being deprived of some
of the most delightful scenery in
the west from the fact that there
is no bridge across Big creek,
Every day there are autoists
travelling thru the state from east
or west who would go by way of
Laramie up the Big Laramie to
Boswell's, thence thru North Park
across the Hunter bridge via Big
creek ranch, bennington, Encamp-
ment, Saratoga and Rawlins The
roads this way far surpass those
along the line of the Union Pacific
and the scenery is simply grand.
There is hardly a bad spot on
the entire route and were it not
for the fact that Big creek cannot
be forded by an auto except IN the
late fall your hotels and those at
Walden and Encampment would
be full of people during the sum.

braces the best fish streams III the

doubt if a b.idge across Big
creek would cost to exceed SlOo as

poles that grow right on the

creek are good and l believe the
