CONVERTED BY EVIDENCE

Those who were honestly opposed,
as / was, to prohibition in Washing
ton and Oregon, have been converted
to it, as l have been, by the actual
evidence that prohibition is a fine
thing from a business standpoint. No
city and no community can afford to
have saloons. They are too expen-
sive, morally and economically. In
a very few years there will not be a
licensed saloon in the whole country.

NEW SKIN GAME"
OF A SLICK GUY
Scheme Being Worked by Well-Dress
ed and Fine-Mannered Young
Man. Many Victims.

Here's new "skin game" Be on
the lookout for it; and if the indi-
vidual answering the below descrip-
ton tries to skin you sick your dog
on him or call the police.
An exceedingly well dressed young
man with perfect manners rings a
residence door bell, introduces HIM
self to the lady of the house as an
agent for well known ladies tailor
ing firm, and proceeds to show his
samples. Almost before she knows
it the agent is busy with tape line,
taking her measurements in detail.
He gets her signature on the dotted
line for handsome tailor-made suit
at a remarkably low price to be paid
in weekly installments. The initial
payment is one dollar, which he col
lects.
Or, if the man of the house should
answer the bell the agent will sell
him a suit of clothes, and he is likely
to sell both the man of the house and
the lady of the house if they're both
at home.
And when he gets the dollar, or the
two dollars, he is gone.

Petition to Sell Land.

Georgia, Randolph County.-After
four weeks notice, pursuant to sec
ton 3065 of the Civil Code (1910)
of Georgia, a petition, of which a
true and correct copy is subjoined,
will be presented to the Hon. w. C.
Worrill, Judge Of the Superior Court,
at the court house in said county, on
the goth day of December, 1916.
]. M. FILLINGAME.
Georgia, Randolph County,
Hon. VIM. c. Worrill, Judge of the
Superior Court Of said county: The
petition of j. NJ. Fillingame shows:
1. That he is the guardian of Ru-
by Fillingame and Lizzie Mae Film
game, heretofore duly appointed as
such guardian in said county.
2. That he desires to sell for rein
vestment at private sale the fol-
lowing property, the same be-
ing part of the estate of his
said wards, towit: their one-half I'M
divided interest in and to sixty-seven
and one-half (671a) acres of land
off of the south side of lot No. 258
in the Fourth district of Terrell
county, Georgia.
3. That said land is inconveniently
located and badly situated, as the
guardian and his said wards reside
in Randolph county and the said land
is in Terrell county, and also the
same is surrounded by the lands of
others, which cut it off from the
main highways, and for the reason
the guardian and wards are in one
county and the land in another it
can not be properly looked after and
cared for; that said land is in a bad
state of improvement and needs a
house thereon, inasmuch as it con-
tains none, and on that account no
one lives on said land, and for that
cause it cannot be properly managed
and attended; and also the income
| from the said land is very small, as
matter of fact, there is no income
| from the same continuously, mas
much as some years there is none
whatever, and what income there is it
varies different years owing to the
Inconsistency of the crops produced
thereon-the said income being APP
proximately $4,000 per year.
4. Petitioner desires to invest the
proceeds of such sale in certain land
near Spring Vale, towit: thirty-five
acres in the northeast corner of lot
of land No. 26, with a four room
frame dwelling house and appurte-
nances thereon, in the Ninth district
of Randolph county, Georgia, and
bounded as follows: North by Cum
by mill road, east by land of j. M
Fillingame, south by land of J. M
Fillingame, and west by land of the
R. D. Gay estate.
5. Petitioner shows that notice OF
his intention to make this application
has been published once week fol
four weeks in the "Liberal-Enter
prise" and Dawson News" being the
newspapers in which county adver'
tisements are usually published, il

ure Would Bury Past.
After the most troublesome life of
any royal woman in Europe Nathalie,
former queen of Serbia, is now atom
ing for her sins by scrubbing the
floors of a war hospital. While in
vestigating the military medical ser
vice at Bordeaux Jeanne de Bonnie
fon, a well known French journalist,
was astonished to find the queen en-
gagged in the work of an ordinary
servant. He recognized her at once,
in her rough hospital helpers garb,
because he had frequently attended
the court ceremonies at Belgrade, the
Serbian capital, during her reign as
the consort of King Milan.
"When | saw her at the Belgrade
court" he writes, "King Milan's wild
ow wore a blazing diadem and looked
a naughty and queenly beauty. She
was attired in a purple velvet cloak
lined with ermine. Now she wore
brown Holland overalls instead of the
purple cloak"
The wounded soldiers are. totally
ignorant of the queens identity. But
they speak gratefully of her SANITY
goodness and her untiring efforts to
aid them"
Nathalie is now 81 years of age
In her youth she was ravishing
beauty.

When Film Characters Fingers Tight

Simply Had to Take Hand.


The villain was cutting up aNfully
the other night in a Hammond lind
movie theatre. He was choking the
defenseless heroine, and in a minute
or so he would throw her into the
river. She struggled. She screamed.
But the fend in human form who had
her in his power only sneered and
swore. They held an animated though
silent conversation on the screen and
then the villains fingers slowly tight
ened about the fair, white throat.
But at this point in the terrible
spectacle John Sebastian, in the au-
dience, decided that the beautiful girl
had suffered enough. He simply
could not stand it any longer. John
had come from East Chicago to have
a good time, and this was too much.
Leaping to his feet he whipped out a
revolver. An exclamation of rage
escaped him, and the revolver spoke.
John had come to the heroine's res
cue.
Bing! One bullet clipped the bru-

pierced his brain.

taken to the police station. But even
there his nerves were still upset.

WOULDN'T Be A WIDOW;
KEPT HUSBANDS PLATE SET
FOR TWENTY-FIVE YEARS SHE
KEPT ALIVE HAPPY
MEMORIES.

eff ever the shutters of my house
are closed call fireman and climb
in the second-story window" said a
little old woman of Philadelphia to
neighbors several years ago. "Then
| will have Joined my husband" One
morning this week the shutters did
not open.
The house was the home of Mrs.
Sarah H. Benesole, 80 years old, who,
since the death of her husband TWEEN
ty-two years ago, had lived alone
with memories vitalized by her I'M
failing enactment of the devotion and
the little attentions she had bestowed
upon him during their married life
The closed shutters caught the eye of
the first early risers. They thought
of the aged woman's request, yet
none was willing to act. Perhaps
she had oversight, they thought. But
when the hours passed and the shut
ters remained closed, a policeman
was summoned.
Prophecy Had Come True.
He found the aged recluse, frail,
bent figure, dead in her chair. Her
death, physicians said, was due to the
infrmities of old age.
For twenty-five years Mrs. Bene-
sole had maintained her touching de-
votion to the memory of her husband.
He had been a dentist, and his sign
on each of the front windows was al
lowed to remain. Every morning
the little old lady polished the glitter
ing letters.
In the front hallway she kept his
hat and coat hanging as in other
days. The table in the dining room
was always set for two. Her has
bands favorite chair was drawn to
the fireplace of evenings. Thus Mrs.
Bensole lived over again the life of
the past.
Wanted a Man in the House.
Aside from keeping fresh the mem
DRY of her husband, the recluse de-
sired to give an impression that there
was a man in the house. She had
jewels, which she often showed to
nelgnDOrS, anu SIe IHouSHI IL Woulu
be too risky to keep them with her
if the belief prevailed that she was
alone.
Neighbors said she was always
comfortably situated and some
thought she had a considerable for
tune. She bought literally of food,
did all her own work, and did it well.
Handsome furniture, a survival of
her happier days, made the home a
treasure house for lovers of the an
tique. But to-day the shutters are
closed and the dentists signs have
not been polished.
