MADISON ROUTE THREE.
Hydrophobia Among Dogs and Hogs
—A Number oi Dogs Being Kill
ed.
Madison Route 3.—Some of
our farmers are still sowing
grain.
Quite a number! of hogs are
being killed hereabouts this
time. •
It seems that the dogs affected
■with hydrophobia are spreading
the disease in this community,
not only among dogs; but hogs
as well. As it seefns that our
citizens are ignorant of the law
or disregard it, I think it well
to publish the section of revi
sal, 3,305. If the owner of any
dog shall know, or have good
reason to believe, that his dog, or
any dog belonging to any person
under his control, has been bit
ten by a mad dog and shall neg
lect or refuse immediately to
kill the same, he shall forfeit
and pay the sum of fifty dollars
to him who will sue therefor,
and the offender shall be liable
to pay all damages, which may
be sustained by any one in
his family by the bite
of any such dog, and shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor. Limit
fine not more than fifty dollars
or imprisioned not more than
thirty days. A little negligence
often caures a lot of trouble.
"An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure."

LIGHTNING KILLS FEW.
In 1906 lightning killed only
169 people in this whole country.
One's chances of death by lightn
ing are less than two in a million.
The chance of death from liver,
kidney or stomach trouble is
vastly greater, but not if Electric
Bitters be used, as Robert Mad
sen, of West Burlington, la.,
proved. Four doctors gave him
up after eight months of suffer
ing from virulent liver trouble
and yellow jaundice. He was
then completely cured by Electric
Bitters. They're the best stom
ach, liver, nerve and kidney
remedy and blood purifier on
earth. Only 50c at all druggists.
Mr. W. J. Johnson, of Ger
manton Route 1, has recently
killed some very fine porkers.
>He killed one that weighed 444
pounds and another that weighed
over 400.

EXPLORING THE AIR
BILL MOUNCE'S STUNTS
Experiment In Aeronautics Results
Disastrously—A Table And Its
Moral.
The first Danbury person to
experiment in aeronautics is Mr.
William Mounce, Jr., who last
Friday night about dark rose
suddenly from an advantageous
Koint on the hill south of Dan
ury, described a few preca
rious cur\ es, executed a few daz
zling stunts, then hit the
ground with more force than
grace. There were no eye-wit
nesses to Bill's spectacular feat,
but there is good evidence that
it was really stunning—at least
the last act was. Persons in the
neighborhood, over their late sup
pers, recall certain detonations
which were unmistakable. The
aeroplane waS not much hurt by
the fall, but the motor was
severely skinned up, the cargo
distributed up and down the hill,
while severe pains were dis
tributed up and down the Bill.
This is a fable, which is adorn
ed with a moral. But it is more
full of truth than poetry. The
facts are these : Bill was re
turning from Walnut Cove with
a load of groceries, and as he at
tempted to drive his little mule
over the precipice intervening
between the top of the hill and
the lower level, his steed lost its
footing, and the next instant
mule, wagon and driver togeth
er with all the appurtenances
thereunto belonging, turned over
and rolled down the incline. The
wagon was not so much battered
as the mule, while Bill's arm was
pretty badly hurt in the full.
Daisy middlings and Arbuckle's
coffee were sown on the plowed
grounds below the road in indis
criminate confusion.
Not long ago Bill was discuss
ing vehemently the condition
of the public roads when he was
asked by a good roads man :
"How much will you give to
wards building a sand clay or
macadam road from Danbury to
Walnut Cove?"
Bill looked down, scratched
his head, then looked up with
great public spirit and benefi
cience shining in his eyes :
"I will give 50 cents." His
voice trembled over the idea of
nis proposition being accepted

good roads man, "that you

ENDS WINTER'S TOUBLES.
To many, winter is a season of
trouble. The frost-bitten toes
and fingers, chapped hands and
lips, chilblains, cold-sores, red
and rough skins, prove this. But
such troubles fly before Bucklen's
Arnica Salve. A trial convinces.

Meetze, Va. —J. C. Green of this *
place, says: ' i Buffered with womanly
troubles so that 1 could hardly sit up.
Two of the best doctors in our town
treated me, and I tried different medi
cines, until I gave up all hope of ever
getting well.
One day, I decided to try some Car
dul. It did so much for me that I
ordered some more, and it cured me!
Today. I feel as well as I ever did in
my life.
The pains and the trouble are all
gone. I feel like another person in
every war. I wish every sufferer could
know what Cardul will do for sick
women."
A few doses of Cardul at the right
time, will save many a big doctor bill,
by preventing serious sickness.
It tones up the nervous system, and
helps make pale cheeks fresh and rosy.
Thousands of weak women have been
restored to health and happiness by
using Cardul. Suppose you try it.
It may be just the medicine you need.

If you want the Top of the Market, sell
your Tobacco at Webster's Brick Ware
house. We sold more tobacco last year
than ever before in the history of the
market, and we have more orders and
bigger orders than we have ever had any
previous year. During my twenty years'
experience in the business I have learned
all that is possible to know about tobacco
and I am a large buyer myself and people
who are in a position to know say I pay
more for It than It will bring on any
other market. So you will SAVE TIME,
HORSE-FLESH, and MONEY by selling
at my house.
