other luxuries to such an extent that
ne seldom had cent to apply TO any
worthy cause. such as the Gre of his
family or the upkeep of the church.
AS result of Heber's regularity in
blacksiiding, therefore, for dozen
years or more the church folks never
baptized him. They just sort of let
him slide along, and, when immersion
day finally arrived he usually was
out behind his trotting horse. at a
COCK fight, or at some other place
scarcely fitted for converts.
Finally, though, the church authori-
ties got tired of Heber's professions
OF faith and their subsequent flatten-
ing out, and when the next revival
started, along in the spring. and he
began TO show signs of interest, they
advised him that his confession would
be received only with the understand
ing that immersion should follow I'M
medlately. He thought the matter
over for three days and then agreed
to join that night and be baptized
without delay. And, sure enough, he
arrived bright and early, and, when
the going got good he joined up for
the thirteenth time.

subsequent cloudburst flooded the

Stories differ as to how Heber, just
as he was being immersed, escaped

saying he wriggled out and others
maintaining that he slipped, but, any
how, he disappeared in the darkness.

surprised to find Heber raining down

Sheriff Finds Drug Victims
 Novel Source of Supply

Many so-calIed cough cures" of fered to the public are heavily loaded with chIoroform, opium, morphine, codeine and other narcotic drugs to such an extent that several prisoners of the Suffolk County jail at Boston got the drugs their appetite craved by pretending to the sheriff that they had severe coughs, according to an arti- cle published no long ago in the Bos- ton Post.
 There is great danger in using cough cures" loaded with dope.
 These dangerous habit-forming drugs do have temporary effect on the cough but they do not have a lasting effect and soon the cough comes back worse than ever. Doctors sound warning against these preparations. The safe sane treatment for a cough or cold is Father Johns Medicine be- cause it is guaranteed free from any of these dangerous drugs or alcohol and has a record of more than sixty | years success as a family medicine in thousands of homes. Because of its 1 wholesome purity it is safe for all the | family. It soothes the throat and breathing passages, relieves the cough by getting at the cause, drives out the

AUTOPSY REPORT ON PAOLA DEATH
 BY DIR. GARLTCK

Medical Examiner S. M. Garlick in a report to the coroner on the autopsy upon James Paola shows that Paola was not only fatally shot, but was twice stabbed, either of the stab wounds being probably sufficient to cause death. The bullet which pene- trated the lung has been recovered.
 Dr. Garlick found that one bullet struck Paola on the left arm, going through the sleeve, striking the chest and slainting downward penetrated the lung. This wound, in Dr. Garlicks opinion, would have been fatal with out any other.
 There were two stab wounds in Paola's side, ore seven and the other six inches in depth either of which would probably have been fatal There was a. third stab wound which was slight.

MUCH ANXIETY NOW FELT
EVERY PASSING CLOUD CAUSE
FOR ALARM
Crop Developing Rapidly
Topping Commenced

Sundays lowering clouds. combined
with rain and wind, caused much anx-
iety in tobacco sections. This is al
ways the case in July, August and
September, when every passing cloud
is feared for the danger that NAV be
concealed within it. And there was
cause for alarm on Sunday, but we
escaped luckily. In a few places hail
did accompany rain, especially be-
tween Stoddard and Chaseburg where
the frozen pebbles pelted and dam
aged growing crops to considerable
extent, lodging grain, stripping corn
of leaves and splitting tobacco leaves.
In other directions hail fell and wind
caused losses.
Tobacco and corn have taken on
wonderful growth the past fortnight.
One can scarcely believe that the de-
velopment could be so great. Some
fields of tobacco are should high to
man. Topping commenced last week
and now entire fields are being gone
over for that purpose, but as a whole
the crop is ten days or two weeks dis
tant from the topping stage AS ear
ly as August 18th, some tobacco will
be cut ard shielded in Vernon county,
but it will be about two weeks later
before the full force of harvest is on.

took up merchandising and continued

country, locally and i'll county COM
