SHOT AT AUTOMOBILE.

Two Young Men Out On Lark Used
Buzz Buggy For Target.
Mr.. C. M. Harris took a couple of
friends down to Cordray a few after
moons ago, and while they were at
one of the wasteways flirting with the
finny tribe their attention was at
tracted by two young men who lived
in that community galloping up and
down the road on horses and at inter-
walls discharging pistols.
Investigation showed that they
were testing their craftsmanship on
horseback by shooting at the rubber
tire on one of the rear wheels of Mr..
Harris car. Fortunately their aim
while swiftly riding to and fro was
not good, and no damage was done.
Only one ball hit the automobile and
it struck the under side of an iron
fender.
Due apology was made to Mr.. Har-
ris, with an offer to pay for any dam
age that had been done.

New Invention Attracts Large


Crowds 80 See 1t.
The Keno water burner, a new and
novel invention for heating cooking
stoves, was demonstrated by its in
ventor under the opera house three
days last week.
The device solves the wood and
coal problem, and makes it possible
for you to cook your meals without
the bother of SCOT, smoke and ashes.
The fuel used is kerosene oil and
water. By it's simple construction
the hydrocarbon is quickly, and thor
oughly vaporized and burned by mix
ing air and steam with the vapor,
producing the most intense heat with
the least expense of any fuel known.
Mr.. W. J. Lewis has been appoint
ed general sales agent for a large
territory in Georgia, and will soon
put the device on the market.
