Lightning Kills a Famous Cow.

During the rain and thunder
storm which visited Jackson Sec
ton Thursday Violet, +" the fa-
nous Holsten cow at the expert
ment farm, near that city, was
killed by lightning. 1t is believ-
ed Violet was the greatest milk
producing cow in the state. Her
record for the thirty days pre-
ceding her tragic death was 2, l.
43 pounds of milk, from which
10l pounds of fine butter was
taken. While the average for
the thirty days was a little more
than seventy-one pounds a day,
the record for last Sunday was
eighty four pounds. The butter
product alone of this cow was
more than $50 per month, and
the farm sustains a great loss
from the lighting's work. The
bolt hit a tree and, following a
plank which was loosely attached
to the tree, went to the COW,
producing instant death.

heretofore. For this time | will
try to have all checks mailed on
May 25.
''The legislative amendment

HOLLOW ROCKS
MAN Of MYSTERY
Four Persons Heard From Who
Claim to Be Sisters Of
F. W. Myers.

Since the recent death of F..
W. Myers, the man who was
burned when his house and con-
tents were destroyed by fire near
Hollow Rock, this county, four
women have laid claim to being
sisters of the dead man. Short
ly before the death of Mr.. Myers
he gave a postcard, bearing the
name of Mrs. Annie DeFord of
Manitowoc, Wis.,, to some neigh
Dor children, and since the death
of Mr.. Myers ]. R. Presson, an
attorney, has written Mrs. De-
Ford, and Mrs. DeFord and her
12-year-old son have arrived at
Hollow Rock. She says that she
is the sister of Myers, and has in
her possession a photo of the
dead man also a letter written
her from Mr. Myers only a few
days before his death, bearing
the postmark of Hollow Rock.
Mrs. DeFord says that there is
only one other sister, and her
name is Mrs. Mollie Matthews,
who lives at Tampa, Fla. Mrs.
DeFord said in the last letter she
received from her brother, which
was written only a short time be-
fore his death, that he did not
mention any trouble of any kind,
and wrote of how he was getting
along with his crop, etc.
The county authorities are in
possession of letters from two
other women in different parts
of the country claiming to be
sisters of Mr.. Myers. One writes
from Jonesboro, Ark, and the
other from Centralia, Ill. Mr..
Myers left a farm and some mon
ey and other property.
Mr.. Myers lived alone on a !
small farm near Hollow Rock
and did not associate with his
neighbors. Just before his home
was burned he went to an attor-
ney at Hollow Rock and stated
to him that he had committed a
crime and asked to be locked up
to keep him from harming some
one else. The attorney turned
him away with the promise that
he would investigate the case,
and that night Mr.. Myers house
was burned and the charred |
bones, supposed to be that of
the mysterious man, were found
in the ashes. Also the metal
parts of a gun and some pistols
and some coins were found near
the bones.

TALKING PORTER
FOR CONGRESSMAN
In Event Sims Should Decide to
Try For Senate He viii
Be Urged to Run.

A Washington dispatch which
indicates that T. w. Sims, mem.
ber of congress from the Eighth
congressional district for twenty
years, is on the verge of an open
declaration of his candidacy for
the United States senate in op-
position to Senator Lea, has re-
suited in numerous applications
from all over the district for
Dudley Porter to make the race
for congress if Mr.. Sims decides
not to enter.
1t is generally understood that
Senator Lea is endeayorsing to
secure congressional candidates
in all districts in the state friend
ly to him, but Mr.. Porter does
not come within that category.
He is strongly anti-Lea and
many Democrats of the Eighth
district would be glad to make
Senator Lea an issue in the pri-
mary.

BIG DAMAGE BY
FIRE AT HAZEL
Town Almost Totally Destroyed
Monday One Man Receives
Serious Burns.

About 4 o'lock Monday after
noon, having spent its fury, the
conflagration which threatened
to reduce Hazel to ashes, gradu
ally died down and the bucket
brigade which put up a valiant
fight, won out, but only after
almost a dozen buildings, among
them the best business houses in
Hazel, had been destroyed.
The damage is estimated at
800, 900 to 100000, with proba-
ly $50, 900 insurance.
Mayer Brothers, who own two
of the principal buildings on the
city's main street, were the heav-
lest losers. Both of their houses
and stock were totally destroyed
at a loss which will run between
$4,000 and $25, 900. They had
about Sis, 900 insurance.
The next heaviest losers were
the w. F. White & Son. A gen.
eral store belonging to them and.
with the stock, valued at So.
or $40, 900, was totally destroyed
while a warehouse valued at $5,-
600 was also eaten up by the
flames. There was $1,000 in
surance on all of the White prop
erty.
The Hazel bank building, val
ued at $4,000 was complete
wreck. There was 81, 500 insur-
anee on it.
The Turnbow and Lamb drug
store was destroyed at a loss OF
$1,000, while the Tom Lamb
warehouse on the west side OF
the street was burned at loss
of about So, 900.
The fire stopped just before
reaching the Hazel Mercantile
company, which was reported to
have been destroyed yesterday.
The N. G. & st. L. depot was
also saved.
Three or four frame houses on
the same side of the street as
the old Miller drug store, in
which the fire started, were
consumed.
The condition of Frank White
senior member of the firm of
White & Son, who was injured
when he attempted to carry
some goods from the burning
building, is improving.

1t is the easiest thing in the
world to keep the money at home,
for consumers are not fools.
Just keep the goods the people
want, and of the quality they
want.
Sell those goods at a fair mar
gin of profit, thereby competing
in quality and price with the
outsider.
Then advertise persistently
keep the home goods constantly
in the mind of the consumer
awaken him to the fact that it
is as much to his interest as to
yours to keep his money in cir
culation at home.
When you convince the con-
sumer that you have the goods
that he wants, and that they can
be purchased here jast as cheap
ly as elsewhere, he will keep his
money at home by trading at
home.

nifty, and are willing to support
live business men.
Who is in the live class? Speak

THE MERCHANT AND
THE COMMUNITY
The Small Town Merchant Is a
Necessity, The Community
Needs His Wares.

The small town merchant is
necessity, and that which is
necessity should be protected
The community needs his ware,
as much as he needs the commu
nifty cash.
But not every small town mer
chant is alive to his opportuni
ties and his obligations.
Many of them fall by the way.
side because of their ignorance
of or indifference to the rights OIL
the public.
Fifty years ago the town mer.
chant sat in his store and waited
for business to come to him.
Today the successful merchant
is a hunter he must go out gun
ming for customers and his am
munition is his stock in trade
his gun the local newspaper.
Country people of today are as
intelligent and up to date as their
city cousins, and they gauge the
merchant by his own actions.
If he is a hustler-if he keeps
his store clean, his goods neatly
displayed, his advertisement
running regularly in the local
paper-he attracts the public
eye, and the public follows its
eye.
But a clean store, neatly dis
played goods and newspapers ad-
vertising are not the only requi-
sites to a successful mercantile
career.
The country merchant should
not bank to much on the fact
that he is a necessity.
He should be progressive
constantly bidding for trade-de-
vising means of bettering the
condition of the consumers, and
acquainting them of the fact.
He should consider their welfare,
as we'll as his own.
The merchant should have one
iron creed, and that creed should
never be broken. He should
treat all customers alike, never
msrepresent his goods, and keep
his shelves well stocked with
truth.
He should be considerate of
other business men in the COM
munity, for their rights are as
great as his own. They do not
own the town, and neither does
he.
He should join Fundamentally
in movements for building up
and expanding the business in
terests of the community, for
success is only found on the top
most rounds of the ladder.
The merchant who has built
up reputation as a public spirit
ed man, as one who labors for
the we'll being of the whole CON-
never lacks for custo-
mers at his store.
They migrate toward his door
as naturally as the birds fly
south in winter.
Such merchants gain the con-
fidence of the people, for the
people know that the same intel
ligence and fair mindedness
which he exerts in behalf of the
community will be extended to
his customers in commercial
life.
Most country towns have a
few merchants in their midst,
and the community is the better
off for their presence.
You invariably find their ad-
vertisements in the local papers,
telling of the merits of the wares
they have to sell, and giving the
people that information to which
they are clearly entitled.
Such business men are suc-
