Injured BY Vicious Horse.

Highland Press, July 7: While at
tempting to ride a horse from the hay
field to his home nearby Monday noon,
Thos. P Muldoon, was thrown off and
the horse in striking at him with front
feet nearly killed him. Had he not
rolled under the steel horse rake the
vicious horse would have killed him.
Frank Frye was near and reached
him probably five minutes after the
accident and helped him to the house
and a doctor was called.
While there are several bruises about
the body, the horse striking him with
his front hoofs broke his nose and cheek
bone and scraped most Of the flesh and
muscles from one side of the face.

Fire Bugs at Darlington.

The Democrat: Warren Miller and
wife were awakened in the middle of
the night a few nights since and on
investigation a fire was found kindled
on the outside of the house and had
gained sufficient Roadway to be creep
ing up the wall. Mr.. Miller extin
guished the fire and resumed his
interrupted slumbers. After while
he was reawakened and the fire extin
gushing process was repeated. Watch
was then kept until daylight but no
fire bugs appeared. The residence is
owned by Mrs. Sam Bates, Jr. Nobody
knows why any one should want to
burn the house with it's occupants in
the middle of the night.

Honest Medicines Versus Fakes

President Taft's recent message sug-
costing an amendment to the Pure Food and
Drugs law in relation to Prepared Medicines,
does not refer to such standard medicines as
Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and Foley s
Kidney Pills, both of which are true medicines
carefully COMPOUNDED of ingredients whose
medicinal qualities are recognized by the med
zeal profession itself as the best known RENE
dial agents for the diseases they are intended to
counteract. For over three decades Foley s
Honey and Tar Compound has been standard
remedy for coughs, colds and affections of the
throat, chest and lungs for children and for
grown persons, and it retains today it's pre-
eminence above all other preparations of its
kind Foley Kidney Pills are equally effective

passing Of William Hooper as school
clerk after a service of third of a cen

Kill More Than Wild Beasts.

The number of people killed yearly
by wild beasts don't approach the vast number
killed by disease germs. No life is safe from
their attacks. They're in air, water, dust
even food. But grand protection is afforded by
Electric Bitters, which destroy and expel these
deadly disease germs from the system. That's
why chills, fever and ague, all malarial and
many blood blood diseases yield promptly to
this wonderful blood purifier. Try them, and
enjoy the glorius health and new strength
they'll give you. Money back, if not satisfied.
