RAIN is TIMELY

The heavy rain Of last week ar

this section of tse Big Bend coun-

grain was in very unhealthy con-

was quite general all over the Big

a new lease on life and are now
hopeful of harvesting at least a

FOUND HANGING IN PARLoR

A fatal step may end the most
happy life. The most cultured. re-
fined, beautiful and best loevd are
no exception to the same fate. A
fathers devotion, mothers fond
care. brothers. or a sisters COM
partnership will not shield them
when they desire to take the step.
Such was the illustration last
evening" when one of the highest
educated, most refined and vivic-
ious girls was found hanging in
the home parlor, surrounded by all
the luxuries that go to make
happy life. Late in the evening she
had been missed and careful search
failed to reveal her whereabouts.
The telephone was used without
results. Her friends were callel to
help search for her. Finally the
broken-hearted mother returned to
the parlor and there to her horror
and surprise she found her beloved
girl hanging.
How must that mother have been
effected by what met her gaze?
There was her daughter hanging
to her sweetheart's neck, begging
him to subscribe to the Coulee City
Dispatch in order that he might
informed as to the current news of
the community by reading the new
