KNEW WHAT HE WAS ABOUT

A member of national medical association tells the following story at the expense of a physician:
 Are you sure," an anxious pa tient once asked, "are you sure that I shall recover? I have heard that doctors have sometimes given the wrong diagnosis and treated pa, tient for pneumonia who afterward died of typhoid fever"
 "You have been woefully misln- formed" replied the physician in- dignantly. "If I treat a man for pneumonia, he dies of pneumonia" '-St. Louis Republic.

ALBERT DEUTSCH
 BIG LUMBERMAN
SAN ANTONIO PAPER GIVES SKETCH OF ACTIVITIES OF FORMER MARIANNA MAN WHO DIED RECENTLY.

The Courier-Tndex is in receipt of the following clipping from the San Antonio (Texas) Daily Ex- press, containing brief account of the activities of Albert Deutsch, formerly of this city, who died in San Antonio 10 days. ago:
 'The funeral of Albert Deutsch, prominent lumberman of the south, and leading citizen of San Anto- nio, who died Saturday night at midnight, was held Monday after noon at 3 o'clock from the family residence, 115 East Graz Place, Rev. Arthur Jones, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, officiating. In- terment was made in the Mission Burial Park.
 "A prominent figure in the lum- Der world for more than a score of years, Mir. Deutsch was born in Corydon, Ind, July 31, 1859, and entered the mercantile business in | Oakland City, Ind, in 1883, estab- | fishing a business which is still con- ducted under the name of A. Deutsch & Bro.
 "But in a few years he turned to the lumber business in 1887 enter ing the bridge building and lumber business, as member of the firm of Crisle & Deutsch, with headquar- ters at Evansville, Ind. z
 Broadening his field of activi- ties, in 1894 he moved to Marian ma, Ark, where he organized the l Indiana and Arkansas Lumber and Manufacturing Company, of which he was president. Ten years later he came to San Antonio.
 "He was one of the incorporators of the r-Deutsch-Jarratt Lum- ] Der Company here, company which soon after it's incorporation extend ed it's operations to include the manufacture of hardwood lumber by organizing the Sabine River Lumber and Logging Company, wit plants at Flanagan, Texas.
 After cutting out the timbs around the Flanagan mills, Mir Deutsch organized Hillyer-Deutsch- Edwards, Inc, at Oakdale, La, in both pine and hardwood mills at Oakdale and Yelgar, La.
 "Mr. Deutsch took very keen interest in the upbuilding of the hardwood manufacturing industry, and for years was vice president and director of the American Hard wood Manufacturers Association. He was the first president of the Southwestern Hardwood Manufac- turers' Club, and at the time of his death was a director, his counsel largely directing the growth of the hardwood industry. He did not confine his energies wholly to the upbuilding of the lumber business, but was active in business affairs generally until he fell ill six weeks ago.
 "He carried his enthusiasm and constructive policy into his entire life, which was rounded out by ac- tive participation in fraternal cir cles, as he was a Knight Templar, a sgd degree Mason and Shriner.
 "Mr. Deutsch, in 1892, married Miss Ravia Campbell of Boonville, Ind, and to. this union four chil- dren were born, three of whom are living-Misses Marguerite and Mary Louise Deutsch and Albert c. Deutsch. He is survived by his widow and three children, three sis ters-Mrs. w. D. Mauck, Mrs. Charles Hurley and Mrs. Anna Evans, all of Bentonville, Ark, and one brother, Louis Deutsch of Oak land City, Ind"

Piper DispOses of
 Fine Cotton Seed

H. B. Piper, we'll known planter residing near Brickeys, recently placed some large advertisements in the Courier-Index offering for sale a quantity of cotton seed from his Haaga's Big Boil variety that made such a splendid yield on his place this year. Saturday MT. Pi- per was in the city and requested the Courier-Index to discontinue his ads, saying he had disposed of all his spare cotton seed. MT. Piper sold 22 tons at $50 ton, and said he could have sold twice that amount if he had had enough to supply the demand He received in ouiries from dozens of farmers in Lee county and some from Philips and St. Francis counties. II weather conditions are such that he is able to save any more frst- class planting seed from his crop he may have an additional amount of seed for sale at a later date.
 "I am mighty well pleased with the results of my advertising m the Courier-Index. Your paper certainly brought me quick returns,
 remarked MT. Piper. incidentally I wish to take advantage of this opportunity to thank the cotton buyers of Marianna for the strong endorsement they gave my cotton, and also to thank those who pur- chased seed from me. l hope they will sack the seed, keep them per fectly dry, so they may get big yield from them next year. If save any more seed for planting purposes to offer to the farmers l will thoroughly test them before
 nlacing them on the market"
