Massachusetts Minister Who Is Kept
Buiy Chopping Them Down.
A placid town of high altitudes and
summer sojourners resounds with the
din of war. In which the Congregation
al minister of the town, the Rev. S.
G. Wood, is the liveliest and fiercest
combatant, says a Blandford (Mass.)
special to,the New York Tribune. The
Rev. Mr. Wood says that advertising
signs and billboards must go from
Blandford, and billposters are begin
ning to avoid the town as though it
was full of mad dogs. The minister is
known as “the minister militant” and
“caretaker of the charm of the earth”
by his enemies, but neither names nor
threats daunt him In the slightest.
Every morning while the fight was
at its height the reverend gentleman,
accompanied by his stalwart, college
graduate son and armed with an ax,
started out in a wagon to hew down
the billboards. He scoured the coun
try all around, and whettier the adver
tising sign was on private*property or
not made no difference to him. He
knew it was not legal to touch boards
on private property, but he depended
on public sentii\ient to prevent the
property owners making a row.
^ The advertising agents expostulated
with him, argued with him, tried to
compromise with him, held out induce
ments to him and threatened him,
but he neither looked nor listened and
hastened on to the next billboard. In
order to get the best of him his ene
mies placed high in the trees along the
countrj' roads little wooden signs an
nouncing the value of a certain shoe
polish. When the minister learned of
this lie hitched up. called to his son
and made for those trees. The minis
ter is fifty-two j’ears old and too old to
climb trees, but his son was eager
and willing to use his college athletics
In some practical way, and the signs
came doAvn. All the small boys of the
place aid him by reporting to him the
minute an advertising sign Is put up,
and an improveinent league is beiug
formed to assist him. But so far he
has done most of the strenuous work
himself, and it is said that every time
his horse sees an advertising sign he
stops and refuses to go on until it
has been torn dowm.
PETITION TO SPARE A TREE.
Why Independence (Mo.) Aldermen
Heeded an Appeal From Citizens.
How trees endear themselves to
mankind and prove an attraction to
any town is described in the following
article:
The council of Independence, Mo.,
was in session the other night trans
acting routine business. When the
time came for “petitions and commu-
nicatioais” the clerk reported a petition
from citizens of West Walnut street
asking that a large walnut tree in
front of lot 24, Sawyer place, be al
lowed to stand, notwithstanding the
fact that stops w^ere being taken to im
prove the street, says the Kansas City
Star. The petition was signed by
twenty-nine people living in the neigh
borhood.
In the early days of Independence
fine groves of walnut trees were to be
found in various parts of town, but
most of these have disappeared. This
tree in question stands in front of a
new house built by R. B. Trowbridge,
a business man, and he entered the
council chamber to add his prayers to
those of the twenty-nine signers of the
petition.
“If that tree is dug up,” said Mr.
Trowbridge to the members of the
council, “it will cause deep sorrow, not
only to my two boys, but to fifty-seven
others in the neighborhood that make
it a meeting place. In behalf of them,
as well as myself, I ask you to spare
that tree.”
Councilman William Pitt lives in the
neighborhood of the tree. “Yon see,”
said Mr. Pitt, smilingly, “that Mr.
Trowbridge is a lover of the children.
It isn’t every man who would encour
age the gathering of half a hundred
boys that near his home.”
The council spared the tree on con
dition that Mr. Trowbridge build a re
taining wall around it.
Since he came within 755 votes
of the Senatorship, Vardaman
thinks they ought to give him the
job anyhow.

The true inwardness of the scheme
to hold a convention at Syracuse, N.
Y., to discuss agricultural conditions
in that state has been exposed by the
New York Times, which finds it all
a plot to colonize that state with re
publican voters by inducing immij
grants to locate there and training
them to vote the republican ticket.
It is, in fact, part of a plan, national
in scope, to steal the next election.
The national administration is back

laid bare by the Times, display a
devilish ingenuity that will shock
the country. Time Exposure.
‘‘W^e never repent of eating too lit
tle,” was one of the ten rules of life
of Thomas Jefferson, president of the
United States, and the rule applies to
every one without exception during
this hot weather, because it is hard
for food even in small quantities, to
be digested when the blood is at
high temperature. At this season
we should eat sparingly and proper
ly. We should also help the stom
ach as much as possible by the use of
a little Kodol For Indigestion and
Dyspepsia, which will rest the stom
ach bv digesting the food itself.

T. B. Allison’s Success.
T. B. Allison, the enterprising
druggist, rather than await the ordi
nary methods of introduction, urged
the Dr. Howard Co. to secure a quick
sale for their celebrated specific for
the cure of constipation and dyspep*
sia by offering the regular 50c bottle
at half<prlce.
The Wonderful success of this plan
was a great surprise even to T. B.
Allison, and today there are scores of
people here . in Brevard who are
using and praising this remarkable
remedy.
So much talk has been caused by
this offer, and so many new friends
have been made for the specific, that
the Dr. Howard Co. have authorized
druggist T. B. Allison to continue
this special half-price sale for a lim
ited time longer.
In addition to selling a 50c bottle
of Dr. Howard’s specific for 25c, T.
B. Allison has so much faith in the
remedy that he will refund the
money to anyone whom it does not
cure.
When your head aches your stom
ach does not digest food easily and
naturally, when there is constipa
tion, specks before the eyes, tired
feeling, giddiness, bad taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, heartburn,*
sour stomach, roaring- or ringing in
the ears, melancholy and liver trou
bles, Dr. Howard’s specific will cure
you. If it does not, it will not cost
you a,cent.
This latest achievement of science
is of great value in curing sick head
ache. Thousands of women are to
day free from that painful disease
solely through the use of this spe
cific. auir 9-23

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. T)ie proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer one hundred
dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.
