Ing so much talk in this vicinity.
MIR. Carrier took two bottles OF Dreco

says. Here is his signed statement:
~ have never in my life taken any
medicine that acted as pleasantly and
was a. effective as Dreco am
wonderfully improved and expect to
continue the use of Dreco myself and
start my whole family taking It,"
There are hundreds of other men

who are suffering from ills similar. to
those Of Mr.. Carrier. Hundreds of
others live lives of misery through
stomach and kidney disorders.
It is to just these kind OF folks that
Dreco makes direct appeal. What
this wonderful herbal medicine has
done for SO many others it certainly
should do for those who suffer similar
complaints.
Dreco is worth trial. For your

The SPANISH Grin.

It is said that there are q number
of cases of Spanish grip in this COM
munity and there are several cases OF
pneumonia. Extra precautions should
be taken to control the epidemic. One
of the most favorable places for the
dissemination of the disease is the
lobby of the Post Office at night after
the mail comes In. There are often
seen in this room, persons who are
suspected of having this disease and
others from families where there are
cases of grip or pneumonia.
The lobby is often crowded and one
sneeze might scatter germs generally.
During these exciting times. people
want to get the war news a. soon %
possible, and crowds await the OPEN
ing of the mails. Others 20 to the
Office to entertain or be entertained
by friends and 1t some times happens
that there are q number fro the same
house. Il would be well II We could
wait until the mail 10 opened, get it.
and retire at once. We really do moi
. ppreciste the danger.

Prisoners Attempt to
Escape From Jail.


A weird scene could have beer
Witnessed at our county Jail at A.
M. last Sunday morning, when tht
sheriff barefooted and clad only by
the garments usually worn in bed
stood on top of the building with CUR
Ia hand, while before him crouched or
the roof were three prisoners. Richard
Darnell, Homer Herndon and W. c.
Tucker, lately sentenced to short
terms in Jail. The prisoners were
afraid to move and the jailer could
not let up for fear they would escape
He held them fast until his little ten
year old son was sent out for rein
forcements. Mr.. John Heller was frat
aroused. Mrs. Heller fearing that the
sheriff had been overcome, hastily put
on her slippers and aroused Mr.. Jas
Wickham. Mrs. Stoner and the little
boy guarded the points Of possible
escape, while the men having secured
ladder, made the prisoners come
down and then escorted them into one
of the cells.
These prisoners having behaved
we'll and having but short term to
serve, the sheriff was not particular
10 locking them in their cells. He
had gone up iuto the jail the night
before and finding them as be thought
asleep, concluded not to awake them
by closing the cell door.
The prisoners tore off piece OF
the steel ceiling and thus gained en-
trance to the attic. From the attic
they reached the Roof of the jail and
would have made their escape had
not the jailer been aroused by their
walking on the roof. Had they been
we'll acquainted with the outside OF
the building, they could have easily
reached the ground.
