fn a Quandary Over Turner
The man Turner who broko tho
lock on tin- Soutlicrn switch near
the river bridge last summer is a
perplexing problem to the county
officials. lOvidciitaly the man is
of an unsound mind, and for this
reason criminal prosecution is out
of the question, while Col. Mo
Corkle declines to send him to tin
asylum b cause lie is from another
State, Noitli Carolina. This leaves
the man in hands of the sheriff,
who is anxious, of course, - to dispose
of the case.?Rock Udl Herald.

What It Means
We're tired answering questions!
"Fewer gillons; Wears Longer" means
that you don't have to paiut your house
so often, and you don't have to use so
much paint. Costs less for the job, and
yon don't have to do tho job so often.
The new i?iint is not new at all. It's
the biggest-selling paint in the United
States, and tho firm that makes it is 14'J
years old.
Dovoe Lead and Zinc?fewer gallons
than mixed {mints, wears twice as long
as lead aud oil.
WANTED.?Several good Milch Cows.
Must be good stock and fresh milkers
