school there.
Wesley Taylor, teacher in the

He reports conditions favorable to
his candidacy.
Rev. F. H. Champion, the new
pastor of the Methodist church,

Sunday night. So far as we know
his regular appointments for this
place have not been definitely fixed
upon, consequently our church di-
rectory may yet read incorrectly.
Our good friend P. J. Schales Of
Davidson township was in to see
us a short while Friday. He is
gathering statistics from the mer-
chants Of the county as to the
amount of tobacco sold to the peo-
pie in a years time, and hopes to
put this information to good use
after it is secured.
Medicines that aid nature are al

Flowers and Facts.

There is an Indianapolis attorney
who is known for his dignity and who
rarely INDUCES in ''fiowery" oratory in
arguing a case. Some years ago, how
ever, he was engaged in murder
case in which the guilt of the prisoner
was apparent and the lawyers friends
advised him to be ''flowery"-in an
effort to appeal to the sentiment Of the
Jurors. SO the attorney took his
friends advice.
"Down in the hills of old Kentucky
stands a little cottage" he began.
around the cottage vines are cling
ing, and in the doorway stands gray
haired mother waiting
GAS l was saying, down in the hills
of old Kentucky stands little cottage.
Around the cottage vines are clinging,
and in the doorway stands a gray
haired mother waiting''-
The lawyer paused, and his face
turned red.
"And while she is standing there
waiting" he continued. 81 guess we
might as well discuss the facts in this
case. e."-Indianapolis News.
