nounced that he would give up his West

cause OF the shooting OF Colonel Roose-

A WARNING TO VOTERS.

There seems TO be an indifference on
the part OF many voters in regard to the
bond issue, arising from miSunderStand-
ing of the law bearing on the bond issue.
Many suppose that it Will require three
fifthS of the vote of the county to carry
the bond issue, and as Jefferson county
polls about 5000 votes. that il will take
| 800 votes 10 carry the bond issue. But
such is not the case. 1t requires three
fifthS of the votes cast on the bond issue.
SO that if only five hundred votes were
cast on the bond issue, and three hundred
of those votes were for the bond issue,
the bond issue would be carried There
fore every one who fails to vote on the
bond issue helps to carry il. Let every
patriotic citizen of Jefferson county cast
his vote against the bond issue.
Suppose the bond issue is carried-then
what? The public schools and public
roads and probably other important OBJ
iectS will suffer for Is or 80 years until
the bonds have been paid OFF. For ii the
railroad bonds of $250.0O0 issued forty
years ago have been only reduced $72, 900,
how long would il take to pay of the
$4,000 of bonds g.?
But suppose the bond issue IS lost
what then? Then no important interest
of the county will suffer from the necessi-
ty of retrenchment and only few hum
dred mountain people and few small
farmers will have TO cross the river in
boat, as they always have done, and a
few scheming land spectators will be
defeated in having the citizens OF Jefter-
son county build bridge to enhance the
value of their mountain land. Which
shall if be ? You, voter, must decide.

Short WefQht.

How to persuade the blonde delica-
lessen store clerk to remove her hand
from the scales when weighing cheese
and bologna, so he would get sixteen
ounces to the pound instead Of twelve
or thirteen. was the problem con-
fronting the man who lunches late at
night In his own room.
Try a few affectfonate little pecks
at her hand with accompanying COM
plimentary remarks and she will let
GO all right" said an experienced
friend.
The night after receiving that ad-
vice the man asked for a pound of
smoked pork tenderloin. AS usual, the
blonde young oma rested her hand
on the scales to steady them, and,
hesitatingly, the man laid his palm on
her stubby fingers. When he got,
home half an hour later and weighed
the pork tenderloin on his own scales
he found hat he had eleven ounces
instead of the customary thirteen. But
strange to say. he was not angry.

THE PEEvISH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT

When q child sulks drowsily, or is
fretful, 1t is usually due to some slight
disorder Of the digestive organs, and q
mild laxative is very often all that is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy Of spirits.
In cases where the use of a gentle,
effective laxative stimulant is indi-
Gated, many of the best physicians are
now prescribing DIR. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation Is admitted
ly the perfect laxative, being mild, yet
positive In its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and purgatiye waters. 1t is very
pleasant to the taste and Is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. It's easy,
natural action makes 1t especially de-
sirable in the case of children, a dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and
800 bottles. II you have lever tried
this splendid remedy, write to DR.. W.
B. Caldwell, pol Washington St., Mon
ucello, Ill, for a sample. He will be
very glad to send a trial bottle with
out any expense to you whatever.

AS l spoke | swung the s~ergeant's
horse around to my side, where l
could control him more readily.
There was no reply from the wom-
an, but | noticed she endeavored to
draw together the tapping cape Of
her cloak, as though she felt chilled
by the wind and her figure seemed to
stiffen In the saddle.

OF a musket cleaving the night In

He did not remount, but, with re1ns
flung loosely over his arm, led the
way slowly forward, and carefully we
followed him.
What had become OF the sentinel
did not know, respecting Craig's evil
dent desire for silence; but as we
drew nearer the White Briar road |
sought in vain to pierce the dense
gloom and note some sign of a strug-
gle, some darker shadow where a
body might be lying. There was moth
ing visible to tell the story.
The sergeant walked without the
least hesitation across the open space,
directly into the deep shadows oppo-
