Ed Albright Suicide or Shot
About 8 o'clock Sunday night Ed
Albright, colored, generally known
as "Ed Jack", received a wound in
the head. He was carried to the
hospital Monday morning and died
Monday night. When he received
the wound he was in a restaurant '
run by Anderson Newlin, colored.
A cororer's jury sat on the case and
reserved their decision till January.
There seems to be a suspicion that i
the wound was not self-inflicted.

Old Ao».
To those wto have no recourse la
themselves for living will, every age
Is burdensome. We must fight agalnat
disease. Regard must be paid te
health. Moderate exercise must' be
adopted. So much of meat and drink
must be taken. Senile folly, which la
commonly called dotage, belongs to
weak old men, but not to all. Cor, as
.1 like young men In which there Is
something of the old) so I like old men
In whom there Is something of the
young. One who always lives In these
pursuits snd labors for the welfare of
the state does not perceive when old
age steals upon him.—Cicero.
•Historical Rock.
Redemption rock Is in the town of 1
Princeton, Mass., near Mt. Wauchu
sett. It derives its name from a
treaty made on its surface with a
tribe of Indians May 2, 1676, for the
ransom of Mrs. Mary Ronaldson, of ,
Lancaster, a captive of the Indians.
The treaty wss made on behalf of the
whites by John Hoan of Concord. The
rock has a large flat surface, on which 1
about twenty-five person* can stand. — '

• Printing In America's Early Days.
The first printing press in New Eng
land was set up In Cambridge tn 1639. .
The irrt b«ok printed was the "free- ■
man's Osih," the second aa almanac
for New England, and the third the
Psalms. There were five printing (
presses running in Boston la 1719, and
it is very probable that during that 80
years from 1639, numerous books were 1
printed. j

China Exhibit Tuesday Afternoon- ~
Thoae who love to look at pretty
things missed an opportunity, if they
failed to drop in Miaa Lucils Holmes,
studio Tuesday afternoon. It
was a special exhibit of china pieces
painted by her pupils. The work
waa pretty and attractive, especially
so, when it is remembered that the
class had been taking leseons only a
few weeks. Aa there is only one
boy, Ernest Edwards, about twelve
years old, in the claaa, the excellence
of hia work waa noteworthy. He is
an embryo artist. Visitors were
shown a lot of beautiful china and
pictures painted by Miss Holmes,
but hers waa not a part of the exhibit.
Delightful frait punch was served
while the callers looked at (he ex
hibit.

WHEN EVERT MOVE
HURTS
Lame every morning, achy and
stiff all day, worse when it's damp or
chilly? Sospect your kidneys and
try the remedy your neighbors ose.
Ask your neighbors.
Mrs. A, R. Fllntom, S. Main St.,
Graham, gave the following en
dorsement in January, 1915:
"My back felt so lame I coula
hardly get around and when I was
doing my housework f had such
pains through my kidneys I could
not move. When I was stooping
the pains were so severe I often
had to scream. It was all t could
do to turn over in bed and morn
ings I would.have to have some
one to help me get up. Doan*
Kidney Pills were recommended so
highly that I got a' box and soon
my back was /ixed up all rivfht ana
I felt better in every way."
Over three years later, Mr«. Flintom
added, "I still take Doan'» Kidney
Pills occasionally when m.v bi"k or
kidneys bother m~ and T ilwivs
get good relief. s have cer
tainly done me a' lot of good.
