"euneSuays AuEusr So
Astrologers read this as an unusual
ly unfortunate day. for many sinister
influences are at work, owing to the
peculiar posting of the stars. The
Sun, Mars, Jupiter. Saturn ana
Neptune are all in malefic aspect.
It is a time when all sorts of con-
fiicting hopes and fears assail the
consciousness and is believed to in
dicate critical conditions in the war
from which strong reflex influences
are perceptible.
Both Mars and Neptune appear to
give warning of unfavorable condi-
tions and there is the strongest pos
sible Indication of a battle at sea.
Bankers and financiers come under
a rule that is not at all encouraging
for them. They should be exceedingly
cautious and they are warned of
great scandal in high place whereby
they suffer loss.
There is a sign denoting anxiety
and disappointment to farmers Indeed
all the stars appear to bode i'll for
those who produce or handle food
stuffs, making for suspicion, market
fluctuations and general dissatisfac-
tion.
The seers see a bad omen for those
who gain conspicuous place early in
the war, as change is denoted and
the planets indicate tickle fame.
Fires are threatened in London and
one of these may do great damage.
Internal troubles in Germany will
become very serious before the
autumn equinox, astrologers predict.
For the United States labor unrest,
strikes and riots are foreshadoweu
and warning is given of a growing

Jlige Claude Clayton and some Is of

north of town the past week. They
had with them IA cases Of beer
and the amount of whiskey is unknown.
While here Lawcr Sheffield from here
who had carried them from here to the
lake in his car was badly beaten and
bruised up by severaldrunken members
of the crowd. 1t is our opinion that
the people should not allow such as
this. A man who will do this is not fit
to sit upon the bench of our courts and
Judge people who do likewise. 1t isto

Judge Clayton Explains.

Judge Clayton armed himself with
deadly weapons and visited Fulton on
June 9th. He had his chauffer drive
around Court square to M. E.
Nanney & Co.'S, Store where he an
nounced that he had come over to deny
that he was guilty of the charges made
by the Editor of the News in last
weeks issue.
He began his speech by announcing
that he was a Master Mason and APP
pealed to the Master Masons for a
hearing. He began as if intended to
explain the assault and battery that
was made on Col. Sheffield by his pals
while at the Whitten Lake, but when
Col. Sheffield appeared on the ground
he shifted his talk to the Editor of the
News, who was so fortunate as to be alb
sent andwhen denouncing the Editor as a
liar, Col. Sheffield informed the Judge
that all the article in the News charged
was true and that more could be pull
lished, whereupon Judge Clayton told
him that he did not want any trouble
( ith him but he did not deny the
charge Mr.. Sheffield made. Then the
Judge said the statement made in the
News that he was engaged in game
on poker was consumate lie. Mr..
Sheffield asked him in the presence of
about 80 men if he and his comrades
were not engaged in game that they
called "stud poker" The Judge an
swered that they were, and Mr.. Shelf
field asked him if he didn't ask the
clerk to charge him with $1,000 worth
of chips and the Judge admitted that
he did. The only thing that our Judge
denied was that the crowd at the Whit
.eu la..e 3 ia him were not his crowd
but explained that he was only guest
of theirs.
All seem Is appreciate the nerve our
Judge had in admitting the truth
of the statements published, but regret
that he saw fit to arm himself with dead
ly weapons and try to pull off the stunt
of a desperado. The people here would
be glad the Judge would conduct him.

Cincinnati man tells how to shrivei

people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati

off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
