warm friend of Docs shaved the
note $25 that evening after busi-
ness hours, and put the stock
salesman next to a likely buyer.
Doc worked hard and managed
to keep the children in school and
let his wife 60 home every eight
years on a visit. He belonged to
all the lodges in town except one,
the Rebekkah, and kept his dues
paid up. Mysterious buttons and
insignias stood out all over his
person, and he had vowed and
promised and sworn not to do
anyofth things that he had
never had any desire to do. Upon
close inspection Of his deadbeat
patients he usually found them
occupying high positions in one of
his lodges. -
He always figured that some
day dividend would be declared
in one of his blue-sky ventures,
I.but 1his never happened. The
best he could ever do was to
trade $500 worth of old stock in
the Pan-Hysterectomy Motor Co.
for 500 worth of stock in COM
pany that was planning to open
clothing stores in Fig Islands.
1 Zone day the Old Man with the
Scythe came along, and with one
long sweep Old Doc was gathered
in:
After decent interval the
estate was carefully invoiced.
The old car sold for $500, and the
Liberty Bonds only had to be dis
counted 8 per cent. Fortunately,
there was only $500 worth of the
latter, so the loss was not great.
The Automatic Typewriter &
Harvester Company stock that
share was quoted at II cents and
no buyers. The rest of his stocks
were not quoted. With the little
insurance Mother managed to
pay off the debts, and make re-
spectacle showing at the funeral.
The obsequis were conducted by
representatives of two or three
lodges, who read their parts and
hurried through on account of the
ball game, which was to start
promptly at two-thirty.
The concensus of opinion of the
neighborhood was summed up in
these words: doc was good
fellow but a damned fool"
Moral-If you would be proper
ly invoiced, get out of the way.

.CARRAD|NE WASHBURN
COMMITS SUICIDE

B. C. Washburn committed
suicide at his home in Brandon
this Friday morning at 1890
o'clock, by sending a pistol ball
crashing through his brain, the
bullet entering Just above the
eye. Death was instantaneous.
Mr.. Washburn had been in i'll
health for some time, and had
been brooding over his physical
condition is thought was what
brought about the rash act. This
morning, failing to show up at
the store, Mr.. Cottrell went down
to the Washburn home to see how
Mr.. Washburn was getting along,
and a few minutes after he en-
tered the house, the deed was
committed. 4
A hurried telephone call came,
and many went down to the house
and found Mr.. Washburn in the
front hall with his brains ozzing
from his head, and a great pool
of blood surrounding him.
Mr.. Washburn was a single
man, and since the death of his
brother L. E. Washburn, few
years ago, has been in charge Of
the Washburn store, and was
making a great success of the
business. He was of genial dis
position. and numbered his
friends to the limit Of his ac-
quaintanceship. His rash act is
sincerely regretted by everyone.
Up to the time of going to
press, Friday afternoon, no flu
neral arrangements had been
made.
Mr.. Washburn leaves two Sis
tiers, Mrs. Hunter, of Jackson,
and Miss Eunice, of Brandon,
and two brothers, Hugh C. Wash
burn and T. T. Cottrell.

CHECK FORCER
BROUGHT BACK

About three weeks ago Marshall
Kennedy, of Jackson a. young
white boy, about II years of age,
walked into Barnes store and pre-
sented a check for $26 and asked
that it be cashed. The check was
given by ]. A. Morris and made
payable to his daughter, Miss
Ada, who is attending school in
Jackson. The check was promptly
cashed and the young fellow went
his way, and nothing more was
thought of the matter until few
days later when Mr.. Morris learn
ed that his check had not reached
it's destination and found that the
check had been paid by the bank
and contained w. G. Barnes en-
dorsement. Mr.. Barnes immedi-
ately notified the police depart
ment of Jackson to be on the look
out for the fellow. Tuesday Mr..
Barnes received a phone message
from Jackson that the boy had
been arrested and was in Jail.
Sheriff DonneN went over to
Jackson and brought the prisoner
back and placed him in jail. The
next morning, Mr.. Kennedy, faith
er of the boy came over and set
tied everything up and got the boy
releaed.
The boy cried when put in Jail
and was mighty glad when releas-
ed. declaring that he never would
dare do such thing again. He
claims to have found the check on
the streets of Jackson, and it oc-
cured to him that he could quietly
come over to Brandon and get the
money on it without ever being
detected.

FABLES FOR THE DOCTOR


Once upon time there lived a

on the Oil Propectus, as No. IL on
the Florida Swamp Company, as
No. ID on the California Pecan
Orchard and as No. % on the New

pany. This meant that there were
only seven, twelve, fourteen and
tWenty-three respectively more
guilible individuals in the United
States of America.
Sometimes he had as muchsas
1.-TWO hundred dollars ahead in the
bank, and he would look hopefully

longer than two or three days,

more closely idinified himself
with Rankin county's interest by
purchasing S. D. Tinnin's prairie
farm in the northern part of the
county. The place consists of 500
acres and the consideration was
$35 per acre. This is one of the
best farms in the county, and it
will not be long, before it would be
cheap at 500 per acre.
Since putting the above in type
