Jail-Breaker Caught Sleeping In His Barn Law sometimes takes a funny quirk . . . first It puts a man In jail for breaking In, and then they put him back In Jail for breaking out. At least that’s what happened In the case cf Charlie Pearson. Charged ■with breaking and entering, Pearson was put In Jail. He didn't like it, so with the aid of a hacksaw and file he left the county bastlle. Tuesday night the sheriff and his deputies went to the man’s barn, woke him out of his slumber and placed him back In Jail . . . this time In a cell where there Is no window looking out Into the open, and where there will not be such a strong pull for him to get outside.

And modem electrical appliance or machine, or what ever It may be called, snuffed out the Uvea of two files, two hundred files, two thousand, and countless numbers of '"es. The “thing" referred to Is an electric fly-killer, and It works. Saw one down at the B&B feed store Tuesday, and the killer machine was taking all sorts of advantages of unsuspecting flies, and killing every one that came Its way. The manufacturers of the new death machine figured out that live files are attracted by dead files, and to add to the massacre they added a place to put sugar syrup or molasses, either of which are surefire attractions for the pests that have been giving peoplo trouble since way back In the days when a horde of the nuisances pester ed the Egyptians who wouldn't let Mos»s and his followers leave bond age. The Brittains didn’t know off-hand how much current the machine would use In a month, and they didn’t know whether it would eventually kill every fly in town, but they did know, and I could see the fact, that It would kill every fly that came a-flying by. There have been all kinds of con traptions manufactured ever since there was a man with an Inventive mind, some of which killed a few flies, and some of which were to sell to unsus pecting poople who knew they were tormented with files and were willing to try most anything. Back In the "good old days" when screens were practically unknown, people planted "fly bushes" which did some good: they bought funnel-shap ed contraptions that lured the flies inside a wire enclosure, and then sing ed the whole passel; they tried this and that, with more or less luck . . . but the crowning achievement since folk learned to use screens is the new "electric chair” apparatus. Week-End Services Week-end services will be held at the mission on Whitmire street in the Jenkins store building Saturday and Sunday nights, conducted by the Rev.' Herman A. Phillips. The public is I invited to attend both services.
