ACCIDENTAL DEATH

Tuesday morning l.. A Taylor, living
at the lower end of Britain Flat, a few
miles south of town. was found by neigh
bors standing upright against wire
fence with the top of his head blown off
At his feet was shot gun with one
barrel empty. 1t is supposed that the
deceased had crawled through the fence
and attempted to drag the gun after him
when it was accidentally discharged. II
was decided that an inquest was unneces-
sary as the evidence seemed to he con
elusive that death was the result of an
accident. 1t is not known when Mr. Tay-
lor met his death, but it is supposed the
day before the discovery of the body
The deceased formerly lived near Anglin
and moved down into the valley last

SEED CORN
May 2, 1918.

May z, 1918.
The county agricultural agents Of
flee is continually receiving letters of
enquiry regarding available seed
corn. The supply of available seed
corn in this county is practically ex-
hausted and parties now desiring
corn are being referred to producers
outside the county. Considering this
fact all those expecting to purchase
seed corn this spring should make
their arrangements Immediately. Re-
quests coming to the county agents
office will receive prompt attention
and every available source of informa-
ton will be used in order to secure
a supply of seed corn.

disturbances.
The so-called Sim Feiners are the
old Molly Maguires of the coal min.
ing regions of Pennsylvania, the
Fenians who made the raid on Canada
/ the assassins who murdered Sir Fred
erick Cavendish and Mr.. Burke in
Hyde Park in the early eighties, and
the fiends who were the originators
of the word Boycott" They are the
people who cut the ears and tails off
cattle and horses on Lord West
meaths estate (where Capt. Boycott.
at that time was agent for Lord West
| meath, on his estate). These Fepia1s
would not let any one cut the crops
or feed the horses and cattle or milk
the cows, and cut the udders off the
poor dumb animals so as to destroy
them for future use for any purpose.
This class of people have been the
cause of all the dissension in Ireland.
Great Britain has offered the Irish
people any kind of government that
they will agree on. but they will never
agree so long as there is money in
Berlin to pay De Valero and his as
sistants to harass Great Britain dur
ing the present war.
Did Mr. Cronin ever hear of Mr.. De
Valero prior to this war? Has his
name ever been mentioned in the
press as being one of the Irish lead
ers? No. 1t was such men as John
Redmond, who, though he was fight
ing for home rule, yet when the war
came was loyal to the cause of hui
manity and liberty, and not as Sir
Roger Caseman, who went to the
kaiser to offer the assistance of the
Sim Feiners to assist the Huns in
their war of numbering women and
children.
Among the American soldiers at the
front are a great many men of Irish
birth, or the descendants of Irish par
ents. Such men as this man Cronin
is doing all in his power to help the
Huns to slaughter these loyal boys
who are shedding their blood for the
cause of liberty.
The Sim Feiners are trying every
possible way that they can to stop the
manufacture of linen, which is one of
the essentials in the manufacture of
seroplanes. being the material used
chiefly for the wings. AS Belfast
manufactures more linen than all
the rest of Ireland. The Sim
Feiners by stopping the linen indus
try will make it so that the allies will
have to try other substitutes for their
flying machines. Belfast also hap
pens to- haye the largest -shjpyard in
he world, but you will find no Sim
Feiners among the employees of that
yard. To stop that ship yard is an
other Of the objects of these traitors
They have made the statement time
and again that if they get into power
they will kill the industries of Ulster.
That and that alone is the reason why
t! e people of Ulster are opposed 10
home rule.
Dublin, the capital of Ireland. pays
less than half the taxes that Belfast
surrounding district are backing up
the government in every way they
possibly can to win this war, vale
the Dublin traitors are trying to d.
all that they can do to assist the kaiser
to slaughter our American boys in the
trenches, by harrassing Great Britain
in the manufacture of linen and the
building of ships Religion is not the
main issue in Ireland, as some would
suppose, but the province of Ulster
is largely protestant.
