A SAD EVENT.
One of the most tragic and shock
ing events ever experienced by this
community was the death of Richard
Lester Bryant on Thursday morning,
August 8. Mr.. Bryant was excavating
an intake at the Electric Light Plant
of the L. K. Green & Sons Co. when
a slide of heavy clay inundated by the
recent rains, fell upon him and buried
him alive. His nephew, Howard Mills,
was working with him at the time and
barely escaped with his life. Anxious
hands hurriedly dug out the lifeless
remains of Mr.. Bryant and a waiting
physician announced the sad verdict,
death of suffocation.
Mr.. Bryant was born and reared in
Pleasant Hill and numbered his
friends by his acquaintances. Ever
upright, fair, square and honest in his
dealings he was respected and loved
by the entire community. He was
married November II, 1897, to Miss
Nellie Snead who with six children,
mother and father, five brothers and
three sisters survive him. He be-

Church in 1901 and has faithfully

deacon and trustee of the same. The
funeral services were conducted over
his remains Sunday, August II, under
the auspices of GIBSON Lodge, No. 256,
U. B. F. Rev. A H. Burbridge de-
livered the funeral Grafton the equal

TRACING A CRIMINAL.
The Most Expert Will Leave Some
 Mark That Betrays Him.

Successful criminals nearly always specialize in their work. and it is Ow ing to this fact that detectives in many cases are able to track them down. says the Philadelphia Ledger. Not only do criminals make a practice of committing one particular style of crime. but the methods professional crooks employ are practically always on the same plan.
 One burglar. for instance. will al ways enter through the fanlight over the front door of shop. another by breaking in at the back. Most burglars. too will continually repeat burglary in the same neighbOrhOod.
 It is by carefully observing and not ing the special systems notorious crooks adopt that detectives can often effect their arrests. Many time burglary has occurred and the criminal vanish ed. leaving apparently no marks by which he could be traced. and police officials have been able to produce him in court within few days. to r'le utter aStonishment of all concerned.
 It does not matter how subtle or careful a criminal may be. he always leaves some betraying sign behind for the we'll informed detective to act upon.

The Moral of the Story.

Professor John Spencer Bassett, au- thor of "A Life of Andrew Jackson" |" in one of his lectures at Smith college, repeated a we'll known story in regard to Stephen A. Douglas, closing with a moral which aroused peculiar interest.
 Douglas, as the narrative runs, was once sitting in a profound sleep in the corridor of the capitol when Adeline Cuts, q Washington belle, passed by. She did not know the sleeper, but was struck with compassion on seeing such a splendidly intellectual face under such conditions, and, stepping down, laid her handkerchief over it to pro- tect 1t from the flies. Douglas on awakening found the handkerchief. sought the owner and eventually mar ried her. There was a pause, and then the professor added: "Young la dies, the moral of this story is, have your pocket handkerchief marked"

Mobilize Now.

The rapid growth of sentiment in the past few years is adding the "conserving of life and improving oi health" to the business of life insur- ance as we'll as paying death claims. Why not mobilize for physical pre- I raredness, instead of standing idly by and trusting to luck for everything to come out right? Secure the two-fold satisfaction of knowing that you are physical fit, and privileged to carry a rolicy in an old ltpe company.
