Less Than Cent A Week

The Portland Review referring to
it's raise in subscription price says:
"One of the Reviews subscribers
calls attention to the fact that the
new subscription rate of $3.50 per
year, which went into effect Nov. l,
means that the paper will cost the
subscriber a trifie less than one cent
per week in excess of what he has
been paying and adds he would not do
without the paper if it were costing
five times that much.
Subscribers, knowing full well the
cause of the slight advance, have
been almost unanimous in accepting
the new order of things as one of the
necessities arising from a general adj
vance in cost of production in nearly
every line, and the Review wishes to
express its gratitude for the loyalty
shown"

Helpful Suggestions

If troubled with sleeplessness try
keeping them closed. In short time
the lids will droop. Do not allow
them to close at once, but hold them
open until they become tired. Very
often sleep will come.
Cheesecloth makes one of the best
materials to use in mops. 1t is light
in weight, porous; readily picks up
cleaned and dries so quickly there is
small danger Of ever having "sour'
mop.
Eggs broken into buttered dish
seasoned and favored with grated
cheese are most appetizing if closely
covered and steamed.-From the Peo-
pies Home Journal for December.

white.
After the wedding dinner the men
enjoyed good smoke, and the ladies
nibbled bon bons and enjoyed a good
chat. The couple took advantage of
the situation and donned their travel
ing togs, attempting to get away, but
the young people ''Forded" after 'em,
and presented them with two pounds
of rice, banner and several pairs of
shoes. Mr.. and Mrs. Smith are MAX

first to Lansing, thence to Detroit for
few days and then to Buffalo, N. Y.

vicinity for a number of years, and is
well-known and loved by everyone.

that packed the courtroom. VIII

pie his brother had given him.
Close beside the county attorney sat
the wife, son and daughters of the
murdered man. They were refined
people whose faces bore the marks
of suffering. In the rear of the court
room sat the aged parents Of the
Towerys. They were typical "befo the
wah" negroes. They didn't seem like
the parents of murderers but like old
plantation servants.
Following the jury's verdict of
guilty in the case Of Will TowerY, the
judge passed sentence Of death on
Cecil Towery who had already pleaded
guilty. Then he turned to VIII Tow
cry and asked him If he had anything
TO say why sentence should not be
passed.
"This crime" the Judge said. "ought
to sound a tocsin of warning through

came the vengeance pronounced by a
Jury of Mcintosh county farmers upon
his murderers late last night. Less
than four weeks had elapsed since the

recommended the death penalty in the
case of Will Towery. Cecil Towery
had already pleaded guilty and sought
to shoulder all the blame.
Five minutes after the jury returned
its verdict, the soft voice of silver
