tuIOQizeS Tom and Jerry

Tom and Jerry. two beautiful bay
horses. we'll matched in color. gait and
style. and the pride of all Grenadians
who love horse-tlesh, met tragic death
on Sunday. May %, while making one
of their many accustomed trips to meet
the trains. They became frightened at
something and broke away and ran up
the railroad track and onto the river
bridge which to them was the very
Jaws of death. . Jerry lay across the
track while Tom hung off by one of his
feet. When the writer reached the
scene it was to see one of the saddest
of the many sad sights connected with
horses that he had ever seen. When
Tom was lifted to where he could see
Jerry, his life companion and mate. he
seemed to say in horse language.
Jerry, We are gone.
During the time it required to get
the horses off the bridge, numbers and
numbers of people visited the poor
| horses and anXiously watched every
thing that was being done and often
times the tears were brought to the
eyes of the by-standers. But the shock
and injuries sustained were too severe
and soon after the horses were placed
on the ground; they died within ten
minutes of each other and We're buried
Tuesday morning on the shady banks
of Yaobusha river.
Tom and Jerry were brought to Cof-
feevile by Capt. J. L. Collins some
fifteen years ago; he sold them to Mr..
G. W. Yearger and the history of these
two good animals is too we'll known to
the people of Grenada to bear rehea arsa
here. They were striking looking
horses and had led in professions of
both JOY and sorrow. had pulled many a
load aud justly held warm place in
the hearts of the people. Their death
has brought sigh to many heart and
if they knew just how much they were
mourned, the writer feels sure that it
would do them good.
Good bye, good bye, Tom and Jerry.
With your style and your beauty
i. You have gone from worldly duty.

Col. Montgomery's recent statement
about penitentiary affairs and the Gov

to the Chief Executive caused him to
smile and make the following additional
statement
1.-The Colonel is fond of display and
seems never to be happier than when
his name appears in the newspapers
under bold headlines. He Is a courtly
old gentleman but has undoubtedly
reached that period of adolescence when
he is child again. Some sage said in
the centuries past that man was only
once man but twice child; appear
ances indicate that the Colonel has at
tanned his second childhood.
"The Colonel states that for the
four years Of Gov. Noel's administra
ton, under which had the honor tc
represent my district as penitentiary
trustee, we paid into the treasury ir
net profits $632. 2.747.95. For the foul

firms Gov. Brewers Statement.

The affidavit which appears below
speaks for iteelf. 1t was made neces-
sary because Senator Russell denied
that he made such a statement about

that he said, THAT the methods used
by DR.. Sonerville were those of the
cut throat, liar and character assassin.

near Carrollton and for number OF
years practiced law there. When ne
was placed at the head of the law de-
partment of the University he moved

conferred upon him, hence his being
called Doctor" He is a member of
the Presbyterian church and is a man
known for his integrity and for his de-
votion to those ideals that make for
right living and for good citizenship.

HAIR ON face
neck AND ARMS
WHAT CAUSES IT

Nature does not produce coarse stub
born growths Of supeyhuous hair. They are
caused by the unwise use Of so-called hair
removers
The only way TO gain control Of such
growths is TO devitalize them. II is impos-
sible TO accomplish this result with pastes
and rub-on preparations because they only re-
move the hair from the surface Of the skin.
DeMiracle, the original liquid depilatory de-
vitalizes hair by attacking II under the skin,
as we'll as on the skin.
limitations Of DeMiracle are as worthless
as pastes and rub-on preparations because
they lack certain ingredients that DeMiracle
alone contains, which give IL the power to rob
hair Of its vitnlity--its life sustaining force.
Insist on the genuine DeMiracle and you
will get the original liquid hair remover.
Others arc worthless initations-refuse them.
DeMiracle is sold in three sizes, soc, St.O0
and $500 bottles. The larger sizes are the
most economical for dermatologists and large
users TO buy. II your dealer will not supply
