Mrs. Mary A. Kelley, and Mrs.
J. G. Alexander and son George,
spent ten days visiting in Thomp
son township, the former visit
ing her sister and brothers, and
the latter, Mrs. Alexander's pa
rents. Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Wink.
Last week many fire3 occurred
in the state forests; 7,000 acres
burned in Cumberland county.
Four or five hundred acres were
burned over along Licking creek
in this county. In most instan
ces, the fires originated in burn
ing brush heaps. Fortunately, a
heavy rain put out the fires.
Fnnk Miller, a tenant farmer
living near Marks, Franklin coun
ty, aged about fifty years, went
out near the barn and pens last
Thursday morning to shoot rats.
Some of the family heard the
shot and later little Frank ran in
to the blacksmith shop to see
what his father had killed. He
found the body of his father ly
ing jnst inside the door of the
shop, with the top of his head
blown off, and the gun lying
across his breast. He was mar
ried and had several children.
He was a highly esteemed citi
zen, and had lived on that farm
L'2 years.
Clarence Hollingsworth was
killed almost instantly in Waynes
boro on Wednesday evening of
last week, when he ran into an
automobile on Main Street. He
was about 14 years of age and
was being chased by a playmate
and attempted to run across the
street, and without noticing the
approach of the car, ran right in
to it, two wheels of the car run
ning right across the boy's neck
causing death instantly. An in
quest was held, but it was shown
that the driver was running at
a moderate speed, and he was ex
onerated from any blame in the
sad accident.
Listen, Mother.
Just look around the house,
down in the cellar, up in the at
tic, out in the yard, in the stable
or loft everywhere and see
how many things, useless to you
and yours, are lying about, clut
tering up the place.
Every apparently useless ar
ticle is worth money-hard, spot
cash.
There i3 more stuff cast off
or unused around most houses
than would, if sold, clothe one or
two persons for a year.
Make a tour of the house.
Make out a list of the things you
do not want and never will want.
Mark down the very lowest cash
price you will take for the things.
Add up the figures and the total
will surprise you.
Now to turn these useless
things into money for yourself:
Fix up a little ad something
like this:
"For Sale: Second-hand heat
ing stove, bureau, bedstead,
churn, three upholstered chairs,
quantity of clothing, several bags
of rags, etc., etc."
Send the ad to us. It will cost
one cent a word to put it in the
paper once, or two cents a word
for two times.
Just for fun take that trip
around the place and see what a
Jot of things you can turn into
money, then sign your name, and
tell where you live.

THE INDUCEMENT

self if you were a merchant.
We do not advertise to do either of these things. For we
advertise to do only that which we faithfully accomplish.
But we do advertise to give you the best and biggest dollar's
worth of goods for a dollar of any store in this community. And
we give what we advertise.
We do advertise to give you the best quality of goods of any
store in this community. And we give what we advertise.

treated when we go elsewhere to buy goods we do not handle.

energy, and we take this opportunity of calling your attention to

Men Will It Be?
When will "Clean-up" Day be
when wagons for hauling away
refuse may be had by the day in
stead of by the load? Or rather
when a teamster may haul away
your pile foj a much less sum
than he could afford if that were
all he would get? Set the day
scrape and pile the refuse matter
engage a teamster, and have the
job over all in one day all over
town. If that railroad should
happen along this way sooner
than expected, incoming strang
ers must not see dirty alleys.
Get After Them Now.
If, by killing one fly now, you
prevent 1,000 from being hatch
ed, it is not a difficult matter to
calculate that, by killing 100 flies
before they lay their eggs, you
will in this manner prevent 100,
000 from being hatched to carry
disease into your family this sum
mer. Flies breed in privies, ma
nure piles, and filth of all kinds.
All effort to keep these places
cleaned, is well repaid by the
lessening if the fly nuisance and
danger. Trap and kill the pa
rent flie3 now.
