feet that he had been killed in
France.
A short time later the then Mrs.
Crawford was married to Mr. Fore
band After they had lived together
more than two years Husband No l

showing as Mark Twain said, that
the report about his death was
grossly exaggerated. Cranford's re-
turn upset Mr.. and Mrs Forehand
nightly. Mrs. Forehand Immediate
lv brought suit for divorce against
Crawford and following her final de-
cree She came with Mr. Forehand to
Moultrie, Here they bought mar
riage license and were married
again by Ordinary Cooper three
years after their first marriage.

wanted to go through the second
ceremony because her father and

first husband was neither divorced
ncr dead at the time it was perform
ed.
Mr.. and Mrs Forehand lived at
New Elm in this county.

Edward SanloH of This City, Known to the Legitimate Stage, Now Rep resents New York Concern

Edward Samlow, known by his stage name of Edward Sell is at his old home in this city. He is now travelling representative for the Auto phone company with offices and fac tory at 32@ East 23d street, New York city. MT.

Among the men inter ested in his company is Colonel Will bur c. Brown, we'll known in this city. The company is ready to man. ufacture motors on a large scale. This Autophone motor is the first noiseless one to be used in a phonograph. Be- sides eliminating the noise of other machines, the Autophcne has at tained a record for absolute pitch from high soprano to low bass. This without the hum of the motor and scraping of off pitches will make for a musical recital almost as accurate az heard in person. The motor used by the company has only recently been completed after 16 years of work and study by the chief engineer.

DOG ACTORS GIVE
 LOTS 0F AMUSEMENT
Dixie, Chief of Entertainers, Is
 Really Clever

Chicago, Aug. 30. - Volunteer dog actors which frequent Chicago bath Ing beaches during the summer have been banned by police at one north side beach because the crowds they collect along fashionable Lake Shore Drive obstruct traffic
 A half dozen dogs spend most of their time during the summer months at the beach, ready to dive, chase sticks and catch balls thrown by any one who will stop to play with them.
 Chief of the canine entertainers is Dixie, pedigreed Airdale with the temperament of a prima donna, his own Set of stage or rather beach pro- perties and list of tricks which cause scores to line the shore walk anytime he consents to perform, which is us ually from morning until late in the evening.
 Dixie likes to attract attention. and he has his own method of collecting crowd. He brings with him to the beach two sticks, each about 8 foot long, and cork ball the size of g baseball. Selecting prospective as- sistant for his act, Dixie offers either the sticks or the ball to be thrown into the lake.
 Retrieving the prize. the Airedale ig- nores his first friend and stops new passerby. repeating the process until large crowd is collected. He rarely offers sticks or ball to the same per son twice in succession, depending on his impartiality to keep the greatest number of people interested.
 The dog has perfected his act until he is able to catch a ball thrown to him from a distance of fifty feet or more and to snap fly balls without letting them touch the ground
