WILL PLEAD UNWRITTEN LAW
Oklahoma Mother Kills Married Man
Who Took Her Daughter.

Taloga, Ok, Feb. Mrs Ola Biz
zell, wife of Lee Bizzell farmer liy-
ing near Leedy in Dewey county, will
plead the unwritten law as an excuse
for shooting and instantly killing
John Goodspeed of Leedy last night.
Goodspeed, although having a wife
and several children at Leedy eloped
with Esther Bizzell, 20 years old.
They were caught in Montana, and
brought back to Oklahoma recently.
Goodspeed, the Bizells say, visited the
Bizzell home and was insisting on
seeing the girl last night, when he
was shot by the girls mother. Both
Bizzell and his wife ran for the shot
gun, they say but the wife reached it
first. Goodspeed had a revolver in
his pocket,

COLDS"
caused by Lowered Vital Resistance
What To Do For This,

1t is a well known fact that wher
person is rundown, stomach out
of order, or the system overloaded
with waste matter, vital resistance
lis lowered and colds and coughs are
easily contracted.
The safest and surest method we
know to overcome this condition Is
by taking our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic, Vinol. In the most natural
manner Vinol tones up the digestive
organs, promotes hearty appetite
enriches the blood and creates
strength for every organ in the body
and as specific for chronic coughs,
colds and bronchial troubles Vinol is
uneXcelled.
Mr.. Albert Porter, of Richmond
Hill, L. l., says. "All winter l had Il
bad cold and a cough which | could
not get rid of, and was badly run
down besides. Vinol was the one
remedy which cured my cough and
made me well in every way"
Try a bottle of Vinal on our offer
to return your money if it fails to
help you Murray & Hooks Pharmacy,

Thankful He Was Not A Woman.

The late Lawson TAFT, of England,
the great womans doctor, said he
never went to bed at night without
thonking heaven he was not born a

than he what women have to suffer
at some times Of their lives. 1t was
an American woman long since passed
to her reward who introduced a sim
pie combination of roots and herbs
called Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound that has proved wonder
fully successful in mitigating suffer

ANNOUNCEMENTS
For Sheriff.

I hereby announce myself a candi-
date for Sheriff of Sumter county to
fill the unexpired term of w. H. Fea-
gin, deceased. If elected, Mr.. Jack
Slappey, of Plains, Ga, will be my
deputy.
Since entering the race for sheriff
many voters have requested US to add
a third man to our ticket, who would
be jailer, without any other duties, on
ly look after the Jail and prisoners.
After giving the matter careful con-
sideration, we have decided that Sum
ter county is now large enough, and
the care of the Jail and prisoners i'm
portant enough for some one to be on
duty there all the time. Therefore, We
wish to announce to our friends and
voters generally, that if elected, Mr. J.
B. Nicholson will be jailer, and give
his entire time to that important posi-
ton.
We will appreciate heartily the
support of our friends and the voters
generally. Respectfully.

Agricultural Reports Show GeOr-
gia Each Year Is Buying More

That Georgia is each year raising
less feedstuff for domestic animals
than it consumes and becoming more
dependent on other parts Of the coun-
try is shown by reports of the State
Agricultural Department. At the
present rate at which feedstuff
stamps are being sold. more than TO-,
900 tons Of feed win be shipped into

Stamp sales from January ] n May

against 1l,33lSO for the same period
Of 1872 The total stamp sales for
1912 were S2G,5502O. At this rate the
total for 1913 will amount to $40
G2IS0, an increase of S1407l.60.
Stamps are placed on concentrated
commercial feedstuffs shipped into
the State The present rate Of in
crease will make the increase more
than 20 900 tons for this year
Practically all Of this feedstuff
could he raised in Georgia" said J. J.
Brown Assistant Commissioner of
Agriculture. The increase over last
year will be more than 10000 tons.
This is reRrettable and the farmers Of
Georgia should busy themselves
There is no reason why all Of this
