Like Being Hit
By Rattle Snake
Says that every time you cut
or pick at corn you
invite lockjaw

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least Cnce a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison are
now told by a Cincinnati authority to
use a drug called freezone, which the
moment a few drops are applied to any
corn, the soreness is relieved and soon
the entire corn, root and all, lifts right
out with the fingers, without one particle
of pain.
This freezone is a sticky substance
which dries the moment it is appli',d
and just loosens the corn without in
flaming or even irritating the surround
ing tissu, or skin. He says q quarter
of an ounce of freezone will cost very
little at any of the drug stores, but this
is sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus.
You are positively warned that cut
ting or picking at corn is suicidal
habit-(Advt)

Der even a colder spell-away back in
1854. We had a warm April and the
change of temperature came on the
night of May 1. Cotton was up-like
green lines of narrow ribbon-across
the fields. Corn was ready to pillow
the first time when the frost swept
over the land. Every row of our cot
ton had to be replanted and much of
the corn also. The gardens were a
scene Of desolation and the entire
farming operations were set back
This frost and freeze was followed
by a long drought, which set in the
last of May, and continued well into
July. Peaches were gone--and I recoI-
lect L saw but two peaches during the
year-and they were sent to me, be-
cause l was sick in bed.
Corn that is up will turn yellow after
this spell of cold. and 7 hope there is

DID YOU SEE THE AmPLANEsP
- .7lNe1y,1oPg5cJ
s ss1sEsfff seJRSO.

Two government airplanes made
trip from Memphis to Atlanta a day or
two ago, and stopped over in the town
of Gainesville to spend the intervening
night
When they resumed their journey,
got my first glimpse of regular wal
airp1ane, and, although ii was high
above our houses, it made noise enough
to run a railroad train going fifty miles
an hour. The noise is the thing that
attracts your notice. and / am still
wondering how anybody hears anything
where airplanes are congregated over
the battle fields of war-devastated
France and Belgium. So far as my
aged vision allowed l could see there
was somebody sitting on the airplane.
Younger persons told me there were
two men in the same machine; that
they were apparently very comfortable
and quite at their ease high up in the
air.
If the birdmen dropped any litera-
ture, l failed to get a copy: but I can
understand it will be an easy way to
carry important mail sacks, when the
necessity is urgent.
1 have long INDUCED the opinion that
air travel will be very convenient for
all persons who now use automobiles or
railroad trains. AS soon as the public
y
air travel, with reasonable safety, air
planes will come into ready use, like
automobile travel grew upon public con-
hdence in "a very few years. That there
will be accidents we know, and every
newspaper reports automobile accidents,
as well as railroad accidents, all the
time.
I am no prophecies, but I am conf
dent that the time is not far distant
when the people who are not dizzy and
who wish to go like the big birds go
IN the aerial atmosphere will each own
an airplane and a place to house it, and
it will have self-starters and an .appa-
ratus that will ascend and descend at
the wish of the owner.
Already il is proposed to carry mail
bags from New York to Washington
City and back again. and. instead of six
or seven days journey to San Francisco,
the airplanes will cross the continent
I'm a very amazing manner-and the
wonder of today will be a lasting and
accepted fact of tomorrow

ACCUSE HIM In
STOLEN GOODS CASE

Alexander Weiss was placed on trial
before Judge Heisel and a jury, in
Court of General Sessions this morn
ing, on a charge of receiving stolen
goods-a crate Of eleven chickens-from
Cooper McGinnis, who has pleaded
guilty TO larceny of various articles
from the Adams Express Company.
Deputy Attorney General Green told
the jury that he would prove that on
last May 10, at the loading platform Of
the express company, AlcGinnis asked
Weiss III he could use any of the chick
ems and the defendant answered that he
could and told him to take them TO his
house. McGinnis received $40, much
under value, for the chickens, from
Weiss, the State contended.
Philip Davis, Of the express company.
testified that he was following and
checking McGinnis, because Of some al
legged discrepancies in the latter's
transactions, and was led to Weiss
store, at No. 3O5 Shipley street. He
said he saw McGinnis unload the crate
of chickens and leave them at the
store.
The case was still on trial when
court recessed, until 2.30 o'clock.
