 Ali Aston of Holly has oats up. The trees and butterflies seem to think spring has come. but in the opinion of your scribe they are coming out a little too prematurely.
 The infant child of Mir. and Mrs. C. M. Edwards of Holly, who has been sick for several weeks. passed away Saturday night, and was in tered at Owens Chapel cemetery Sunday afternoon Touching words spoken at the grave by Hardy Jones helped to assuage the grief of the bereaved ones.

Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel Up Corns or Calluses So They
 Lift or With Fingers.

Ouch ! ? l2 ltl This kind of rough talk will he heard less here in town if people troubled with corns follow the simple advice of this Cincinnati authority, who claims that a few drops of a drug called freezone when applied to a tender, aching corn or hardened call lus stops soreness at once, and soon the corn orscallus dries up and lifts right off without pain.
 He says freezone dries immediate iy and never inflames or even irri- tates the surrounding skin. A small bottle of freezone will cost very lit- tie at any drug store. but will pos itiyely remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. Mill lions of American women will well come this announcement since the inauguration of the high heels. If your druggist doesn't have freezone teS him to order small bottle for yos.c c-Ady. "'lc'

PERTINENT TO FARMERs.

Every hour seems to draw this country nearer to war. No man can assure us that we will escape, for no man knows.
 The year 1917 may see us cut of from all source of supplies from the outer world, and dependent entirely upon local production.
 Facing such possibility, it is incumbent upon every farmer to cultivate to the limit of his acreage and ability, and the town person who has vacant lot should do the same.
 The time to begin is NOW. If we place armies in the field those armies must be fed-and the pro- ducts come from the farms.

Escaped Harm in Accident.

MT. and Mrs. R. N. Cummings and baby, who were in from Rocky Mon day narrowly ayerted what might have been serious accident. As they crossed the track on Mena street, going south, one oi the singletrees became detached from the wagon, allowing the wagon tongue to drop to the ground, fright ening the mule team, which started to run so suddenly that the lines were jerked from Mfr. Cum mings' hands. Fortunately the tugs became loose from the other single tree, thus relieving the mules from the wagon, and after a short run down the street they were caught by bystanders. Mrs. Cummings re- mained cooly in the seat, tho it seemed when the accident first hap pened that she contemplated leap- ing from the wagon with the baby.
