There will be an information stand at
the entrance of the court square this year

there for he will be supposed to know
everything.
Following are few points to observe
in choosing your corn and fruit to exhibit:
Do not pick the largest ears OF corn for
they are not the best, but select dozen
as near alike in every way as you can.
Select the deepest grain and the best
shaped grain. Do not always select the
largest apples either, but get them all the
same size and as smooth as you can, one
wormy or knotty apple will spoil the
looks of the whole plate. Try TO bring
your fruit in the very best condition.
We would like for those bringing wheat,
rye or other SIN all grains to bring small
fiat box to exhibit it IN. The box should
be about three inches deep and large
enough to hold the grain not quite full

goods as an advertisement, we will be
glad to oblige them, but will have no

nish their own tables

Monday to decorate the grounds, and
come and help US to get ready.

YOUNG WIFE KILLS
HER AGED HUSBAND
Family QnarreI Ends in Murder
of TO Year Old Man.
By His Bride, Aged "a, Who Was
a Sister to His First Wife

BURNsvILLF, w. Va, Sept. 26.-Fol-
lowing a family quarrel, James I'm
derweod, aged 20 years, was shot and
killed hv his twenty four year old wife
at her home near Knawls creek, Braxton
comfy, early this morning. After re-
ceiving the fatal wound Underwood lived
rltil m. and nine hours sfterward
funeral services had been held and the
body buried.
Following the death of his first wife
Underwood paid court to her sister, and
it was not long until their marriage was
celebrated. Their domestic life was any
thing but peaceful, eliminating in the
tragedy today
The quarrel started over some miuor
matter and increased in violence until
according to the best obtainable infor-
nation Underwood, in a fit of rage,
chased his wife with Ratchet She ran
from their home to the house of neigh
Dor, where she secured shot gun, and
Immediately started back, but was seen
approaching bg her husband, who ran
into the house and closed the door. Up
on reaching the door, the now infuriated
woman, found it locked, and heard the
voice of Underwood telling her she
couldn't come in. Placing the end of the
gun barrel against the thin panel of the
door she pulled the trigger. AS the re-
port of the gun crashed out, cry of
pain came from the wounded man as he
fell to the floor. Neighbors, who had
rushed to the scene, broke open the door
and found Underwood bleeding profuse-
ly from buck shot wounds in his arm and
side. DIR. Tremhle, OF Orlando, was
called in and rendered medical aid, but
the aged man, weakened by the loss of
blood, soon succumbed.
1t could not be learned definitely
whether or not Mrs. Underwood had
been placed under arrest.
Underwood was prominent farmer
and we'll known in his section of the
county. He is survived by one son, Is
years old.

Avoid Sedative Cough Medicines

If you want to contribute directly to
the occurrence of capillary bronchitis
and pneumonia use cough medicines that
contain iodine, morphine, heroin and
other sedatiyes when you have cough
or cold. An expectorant like Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is what is needed.
That cleans out the culture beds or breed
ing places for the germs OF pneumonia
and other germ diseases. That is why
pm eumonia never results from a cold
when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
used. 1t has world wide reputation for
its cures. 1t contains nc morphine or
other sedatives. For sale by Grant
