Interesting Letter
We received the following letter
which we very truly appreciate:
Mr.. Ray:-Quite interesting was
the item of the old account book OF
the late D. L jenkins. The names
of many are of those who lived on
the premises of the jenkins, for
they owned quite lot of land in the
vicinity of "Muttonburg," we will
call it, for that LIS what it was to us.
Some of the tenants we're: Salt
kill, Nathan Browning, Henry Lindi-
more, Fent Adley. These are only a
few. B. F. Fouts Crank ran a
blacksmith shop which stood on the
north side of the road just east of
the old hall They lived on the 9TH
| er side of the road in the house
which / think is now owned by j. B.
Merwin. Jackson Atkinson lived
with his parents and the Shusters in
another house near by, east of the
cemetery. Jackson drove one
horse rig and peddled notions
around over the neighborhood. He
later got married and settled some
where in the vicinity of the burg.
Josiah Kennison lived in the Bear
Run neighborhood. He had SON
Walter, who / think went to the
army. The Shocks, Hempfields and
McGraths will be remembered by
many, or indeed all of the old
timers. Some of them must still
| be living. The family of Henry Lin
dimore with their son-in-law Dan
Vanoster went to Missouri in the
fall of 1879. They settled near
Montrose and few years later I'm
Gle Henry bought home on which
they resided till the time of his
death, some 80 years ago. Aunt,
and the sons lived there until she
died a few years later, and l think
two of the sons live there yet. The
third son, Hiram, was killed while
working at a saw mill some five or
six years ago. Dan Vanoster moved
to eastern Kansas, Neosho county.
We have had no word from them
for long time. / have taken up too
much space, but "cut out" as much
of this as you please. l will not be
offended. Best wishes to all.-M.

QUICK RELIEF FROM
CONSTIPATION
Get DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

That is the joyful cry of thousands
since DR.. Edwards produced Olive
Tablets, the substitute for calomel.
Dr.. Edwards, a practicing physician
for IL years and calonels old-time
enemy, discovered the formula for Olive
Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid livers.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calonel, but healing, soothing
vegetable laxative.
No gripping is the keynote" of these
little sugar coated, oiive-colored tab
lets. They cause the bowels and liver to
act normally. They never force them
to unnatural action.
Ifyou have a dark brown mouth
bad breath-a dull, tired feeling-sick
headache-torpid iiver-constipation,
you'll find quick, sure and pleasant re-
suits from one or two OF DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets at bedtime.
Thousands take them every night just

Do you suppose your could run down
and see the last act, so there will be
some kind of story In the Telegraph
tomorrow? I'm sorry to ask you,
but simply can't go myself.
Bobs voice was sympathetic.
Surely. Babs, I'll go. Time to split
UP this poker game over here, any
way. I'm losing. But I'm mighty
sorry about your mother. Is it
serious?"
Barbara sohbed. TIN afraid so.
And oh, Bob was saying to you
tonight that could always depend
on her. Just suppose che died!'
"Oh, now, Babs, don't cross
bridges. Maybe she'll be lots better
in the morning. Try to go to bed
and get some sleep. You looked half
sick yourself today"
Barbara hung up the receiver and
climbed the stairs. She looked in at
her mothers door. Mrs. Bryan was
sitting in an armchair by the bed.
She came to the door.

mother is sick long, you'll need your

Barbara thanked her with a pres

own room. Her bed was not turned
back as usual. She undressed and
crawled into It. Then she cried her
self to sleep.
Dawn found Mrs. Hawley still
sleeping. Barbara crept down to a
cherries kitcheni and made herself
a cup Of strong coffee and a slice
Of burned toast.
Having told Mrs. Goodhue that
she would get a nurse before the
day was over. Barbara left for the
interurban station.
Wells greeted her with glover

VARIES and coffee brought back
