The result CT the deliberations
the above named citizens of this
county. sitting as grand jurors have
been awaited with keen interest FIR
the reason that the sheriff of Lin
coin county had been accused o,
embez2ling state and county funds
The other cases which had awaited
action by the grand jury were Of min
or Importance as compared to this
one. because of the prominence of
the accused 10 official and political
circles.
Friends Of the sheriff, took an ac-
tive interest In his behalf, making
good to the state and county every
dollar of the alleged shortage am
ounting--according to the report Of
special auditor H. E. Prudential, to
$3,024l3.
Some Of the sheriffs friends as
serted that in view Of the fact that
the money had besa returned. that
the grand Jury might deal leniently
by not returning bills against the
accused. The jurors, however, ev-
hei1nty were of the opinion that 9
crime had been committed and that
the mere making good of the short
agd did not reduce the enormity Of
the offense charged. Hence the
jury returned two indictments bas-
ed on the alleged state and county
shortages.
Judge Somers fixed the bonds of
the indicted sheriff ut $4,000 in the
state case and 1880 in the county
case. On the former. Joe Powers
and ]. A. Nesbitt were accepted as
sWeties; while on the latter, Joe

the EFFICIENCY OF The
PUBLIC SCHOOLS DEMANDS
That You Vote For The School Tax
Next Thursday, July 25th.

Every citizen in Ward Two should set
apart Il portion OF Thursday, July
18th, to be used in going to the poles,
voting FOR the School Tax. Welsh
and Ward Two have for severa years
been noted as having as good, If not
the best system of public schools in
the state. This desirable condition
has been brought about because OF
the fact that the people of Ward Two
have been willing to tax themselves in
order to give to their children. that
which is every American childs proper
heritage, agood education. Five years
ago q three mill school tax was voted
for period of five Years. This tax
expires this year, and in order to main
tain the high degree OF efficiency in our
public schools, and give to our child
rem the best opportunities possible
for equipping themselves for Lies
duties it will be necessary to revote
this tax. This is in fact the purpose

OF the election tc be held on the 18th
inst 1t is not to vote any new tax, or
to increase the present rate Of taxa
tion. but simply to re-enact the three
mill tax that we have been paying for
the past five years in order that our
schools may continue the high stand
ard that they have reached. While
we are confident that few, if any of
our citizens would be so little spirited
as to go to the polls next Thursday
and vote AGAINST this tax, we want
to urge all to GO and vote FOR the
tax. 1t means the future welfare not
only OF your own children but those of
your neighbour, and OF the general
prosperity Of the entire community.

WELSH TO HAVE
PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE.
First Steps For Its Organization
Taken Monday Afternoon. Tenn
porarV Officers Chosen and
Committees Appointed.

A movement was initiated Monday
afternoon that has 10 it the possible
ties OF being OF great advantage to
Welsh. This was the initial steps to-
ward the organization of Welsh
Branch of the Progressive League.
Some twenty of the leading citizens
OF the city met ut DR.. Cocper's office,
for the consideration OF matters that
might be of benefit to Welsh. After
some little discussion the matter Of
etfecting a permanent organization
for the consideration of the various
things that come up from time to time
for the benefit of the town, was taken
up aud discussed at length. 1t was
finally decided to organize Il branch
of the Progressive League, and to this
end, Mr.. w. b. Gabbert who was ap-
pointed as temporary chairman, OF
the organization, appointed DR.. B. j.
LaCour, DR., John II. Cooper and MIR.
A. II. Jones to secure the Necessary
Information aud plans for perlectins
the organization.
The organization of the Progressive
League in this city will fill a long felt
want. While the same gentlemen, who
have been in the habit Of Doing
things, in the past will doubtless con-
tinue to make the wheels Of progress
move in our city, still the organization
of the League gives good deal better
bases from which to work. 1t will uni
fy all efforts, aud will give that
strength that ALWAYS comes Of union.
Welsh is entering upon an era
of prosperity that has promise Of great
things for her in the future, and that
she may secure all the benefits that
will be hers by right, it is essential
that her citizens put forth the effort
that is always required to secure sue
cess, aud in no other way can this be
SO successfully done Us through the
united efforts ofalt her public spirited
citizens. The Progressive League of.
fers an opportunity for such d uniting
of efforts, and will be very potent

Better than castor OIL calomel catharcs to cleanse

Primitive folks did not need laxa-

We modern people are different. We
exercise too little, eat little fruit, and
our food is too ftne-too rich.
We simply can't have our ten yards

sour bile and stomach full of foul effete

food and waste retained in the stomach

The decay creates poisons, gases and

the blood through the very ducts in

we have sick headache. become dull,
