NO TROUBLE IN COLLECTING
Lawyer Probably Was Willing to Pay
More Than $40 Under the
Circumstances.

A noted lawyer of Tennessee, who
labored under the defects of having
a high temper and of being deaf,
walked into a court room presided
over by younger man, of whom the
older practitioner had a small opin-
ion.
Presently, in the hearing of a mo-
ton, there was a clash between the
lawyer and the judge. The judge or
dered the lawyer to sit down, and as
the lawyer, being deaf, didn't hear
him and went on talking, the judge
fined him $40 for contempt.
The lawyer leaned toward the clerk
and cupped his hand behind his ear.
What did he say?" he inquired.
"He fined you $10." explained the
clerk.
For what?"
For contempt of this court" said
the clerk.
The lawyer shot poisonous look
toward the bench and reached hand
Into his pocket.
I'll pay it," he said. Its just
debt" Saturday Evening Post.

CAREFUL DOCTOR
Prescribed Change of Food Instead Of
Drugs.

1t takes considerable courage for a
doctor to deliberately prescribe only
food for a despairing patient, instead
of resorting to the usual list of medi-

There are some truly scientific ply
sicians among the present generation
who recognize and treat conditions as
they are and should be treated, re-
CARELESS of the value to their pockets,
Here's an instance:
-Four years ago I was taken with
severe gastrftis and nothing would
stay on my stomach, so that was on
the verge of starvation.

mer cottage near me--a specialist
from N. Y.-and as a last hope, sent
for him.
After he examined me carefully
he advised me to try smalkquantity
of Grape-Nuts at first, then as my
stomach became stronger to eat more.
Il kept at 1t and gradually got so

An Edwards county farmer was

He found a man there, dumped him
Into his auto and took him out to the

Next morning, when the drunkard
had come cut of it, he asked how far
1t was to town. The farmer told him
fifteen miles and promised to take
him in the following Saturday If he
would help harvest that week. The
man worked all week without know

while pulling up fruit trees this week.
| Charles Wiley found curiosity at the
root of one of the trees. A large growth
was on one of the roots about two feet
below the surface, which resembled a
cocoanut, on which the outside hull is
growing. Many persons have been to
look at the find, and all state that they
have never seen anything like it.
Thomas Heeley and his partner, Chris
Slaw, are busy planting their seed for
early market truck. These men are
large growers of vegetables, for which
they annually receive large returns.
Owing to the heavy rains almost all
of this month, the lowland fields have
been in very poor condition for plowing.
They are beginning to get in better
shape now, however, and will soon be
plowed. Mans potatoes and peas will
then be planted in this vicinity.
William Smith, who has been i'll, is
slowly improving.
While working around a saw at the
home Of Morris Stayton last week, Chris
Slaw received a very bad cut He was
working near the saw when he turned
to get drink of water. While his back
was turned block of wood flew off of
the saw and struck him back of the
head. He was rendered unconscious
for quite while, but he is now all right.
Owing to the heavy rains of the past
two weeks, the grist mill of C. E. Rus
sell has not been able to run. The pit
at the mill has been filed at times as
deep as six feet
At the upper erd of Nanticoke hun
dred many bridges have been washed
away by the hard rains. We think
that it is high time that we had some
kind of a road overseer in this section.
While assisting in pulling out peach
trees, Charles Wiley was injured when
the rope to block and fall broke. He
was struck by one end of the parting
rope.
Abe Richards is still busy cutting tim
ber.
Bessie Wiley got something caught
in her throat last week and nearly |
